Seferis walks the streets, considering trying to find a way back to Kyphr. He kicks a can down the street, looking for all the world like a bum after his three days spent sleeping in an alley. He's getting desperate.
A hiring sign quite literally smacks him in the face.
He takes a look at it
*Sorry, I've been multitasking.*
*same*
OPEN POSITION!
ACTOR REQUIRED FOR COMMERCIAL!
FREE PIZZA!
GOOD PAY!
Hmm, "I suppose this is an acceptable opportunity. Pay sounds good, though I've never been much of a thespian." he looks for a number or address he can go to
A big giant arrow on the sign points into the building with the words. HERE!
He rolls his shoulder and walks in. "That's oddly...convenient" he's wary
A bag is thrown over his head as he walks in and he is injected with something that instantly knocks him out.
*-evil laughter-*
*frick*
He falls unconscious
When he wakes up, it seems he in some sort of interrogation room with blinding white walls, and upon further awakening, he is strapped to a chair with leather belts. In front of him was a one-way mirror with a speaker above it.
Want to play a game?
Welcome.
"Funny, I don't feel welcome."
Disregarded. Welcome to The Underground.
"I knew it was a bad idea to go in there." He looks around at his room a moment before asking. "So, what happens now?"
We shall run experiments on you shortly. But first, questions.
"What sort of experiments?"
You will find out shortly.
First question: Where are you from?
"Not worth a live researcher am I?" he chuckles, "Very well, I come from the plane of Kyphr."
We do not send anyone in for precautions.
Second question: Do you posses magical abilities, if so, how powerful?
"Oh sure, I know plenty of powerful spells that could reduce a live mammoth to dust in a matter of seconds," he says, obviously sarcastic. Deception 25
*Actually an 8th level sorcerer*
Some murmuring from the speaker.
Third question: What is your identification?
He looks right at the one-way mirror. "Seferis Cirdir."
That is all for now, Seferis Cirdir. Time for the experiments.
The area around him started lowering down, as though on an elevator.
He starts humming "My Favorite Things" gaily on the way down, far more than ready for them to just bloody get on with it.
About halfway through, the straps on the chair loosen enough for him to get up. Eventually, the elevator stopped on front of a double set of doors.
An intercom crackled to life. Please enter, Seferis.
He stretches his fingers like a concert pianist, striding into the room.
Prowling along the wall are two wolves. ROLL INITIATIVE!

He rushes up against the first wolf, casting Shocking Grasp. Attack: 11 Damage: 20
Miss. The wolf sidesteps and goes to bite him.
10, 5 *due to pack tactics advantage* to hit, 8 piercing damage
Wolf #2 comes up on his side and bites as well.
13, 9 to hit, 6 piercing damage
Both miss
Again he attacks, this time going for the wolf's throat
Attack: 28 Damage: 14
The wolf dies instantly.
Wolfe #2 snarls and goes for another bite. 8 to hit, 7 damage.
He rubs his hands building up static charge and diving at the last wolf. Attack: 28 Damage: 18
The wolf wimpers and then dies.
Well done, Seferis, please step onto this elevator.
A platform gets lowered from the ceiling, held by cables.
He enters the platform, unsure of what he's about to face next.
The platform lifts him up slowly to another room. This one has a bed, toilet, a sink, and a door with a slider tray on it.
These are your new quarters.
"Ah, so this is a long-term arrangement. Very well then."
Here is your lunch of the day.
At the door, a lunch tray slides through the slder, on it is some a ham and cheese sandwich, a couple packets of various condiments, a glass of water, and broccoli.

Here is your lunch of the day.
At the door, a lunch tray slides through the slder, on it is some a ham and cheese sandwich, a couple packets of various condiments, a glass of water, and broccoli.
As ravenously hungry as he is, he eats slowly and politely.

He steps out onto a metal catwalk, connected to other catwalks. About 100 feet below is the floor, where various figures, presumably other test subjects, wander around and interact. A few feet down the catwalk is a set of stairs that leads to the floor. The place is slightly reminiscent of a prison or psychiatric facility, but actually not depressing. The shape of the room itself seems to be like an extremely long hallway, about 500 feet wide, and the length can't be determined, as it seems to curve at each end within sight.

It's hard to gauge for most of them, and the ones who's emotions are obvious are extremely diverse, some seem happy, some seem depressed, and some just seem outright insane.

Right before he pops his head up, three figures jump over him onto the next roof over, laughing with each other.
He fully climbs up and looks to see who they were
They are running away from him, so it's a bit hard to make out specific details, but it seems to be a teifling, a tabaxi, and a human doing parkour along the rooftops.
5 if even he follows them using cunning action to dash, if odd he stays where he is and looks for shelter.
A large cardboard box is looking pretty tempting on the rooftop.
He grabs the box and folds it up (if it’s small enough). He then spends a bit of time looking around the area.
What is the area around him like. Also are there cars?

*Welp, missed that, sorry.*
There are a few parked cars along the street. Other than that, nothing about the area seems extraordinary, the most interesting thing in sight is a blue dragon flying overhead.

Day one, after event
I have been teleported to a strange land, at first I thought it a part of the city I don’t go to much but I was quickly convinced otherwise. They appear to have more horseless carriages here but the same amount of repair. I’m going to build a base here, if I don’t head far from the portal then I can be found easier.
He then climbs down and walks through the street, pickpocketing anyone who looks like an easy mark.
