You came too laying on something cold and hard, naked, and with a grand stone ceiling far above you. The air felt warm and humid and the faint smell of sweat was swallowed by thick incense burning somewhere. Your arms and legs had been secured to the object you were on by lengths of chain such that you were spread eagle, to your left was what seemed to be a modest turn out of people, all sitting on the pews or standing in an awkward silence, to your left a man in holy robes worked with an object you couldn't see on an alter. A sudden realization hit you, you had been sent straight into some sort of religious ceremony which seemed to be starting! On closer inspection you noticed one symbol repeated throughout all the decorations on the church, a shattered ankle cuff surrounded by a cyan circle.
Something in your mind stirred and you saw a HUD like over-lay ever so faintly under your vision, as if a screen was implanted into the contacts you used in the real world. Focusing on some text next to what looked like a caution sign, you managed to read:
HINT:
Nudity acts as a catalyst to Willpower loss. Keep those clothes on!
Such a hint was of little use given your current situation, but it did explain why the number in the left part of your mind seemed to be ticking down like that, it was probably your current willpower.
WillPower: 94.90/100
- No active stimulation <br> - Naked <br> - High Libedo
As you figure out your new form of perception, you realize that the priest is done tinkering with his object and is turning to you, object just out of your sight as he walks to the pedestal near your body. He stops halfway and meets your eyes, a simple nod and smile all he gives in response to your look of bewilderment. He resumes his walk towards the pedestal and prepares to give a speech.
