A Gnawing Feeling

Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. The low-income borough of Lambeth has been largely taken over by London's mutant population and is now known as Mutant Town.

"This looks... remarkably comfortable. And much more furnished than I expected. As terrified as the idea of being locked inside a box for eternity had made her, this does dispel a lot of the notion by being roomy enough to be cozy rather than claustrophobic. "You've really outdone yourself, Will." she says as she steps inside almost tentatively at first, then more eagerly, brushing her feet through the thick carpet.

"Well," Will's voice came from everywhere, "you didn't want a coffin, after all."

The rug was thick shag, and probably felt fantastic between her toes. A green rug might not quite match her particular sense of style, but I suppose some allowances had to be made for personal taste...at least, while Will still had personal tastes.

"Just because your situation sucks doesn't mean you should have to be miserable through it, yeah?"

"I couldn't agree more." she says as she walks over to the bed and throws herself onto it with her back. "We'll have to talk about your color aesthetics, but I'll let it slide for how amazing this feels."

The bed was soft and slightly bouncy, with thick, high-thread count sheets and down pillows.

"I've found green to be rather comforting over the years."

"Not quite my style, but I suppose it gives this a certain... naturalistic charm. Like a tree canopy."

"I don't, but mostly because of the lack of accommodations, not the view and atmosphere."

"You should get out more. There are some well equipped nature-adjacent places out there nowadays."

"I'm not sure that plays very well with my... condition. The travel alone would be a pain to arrange safely."

"Complicated arrangements can be figured out. Plus, they're working for a cure for you back home, right?"

"I wish I had your optimism. Sometimes." she says as she slips out of her bathrobe and under the covers.

"Well, keep your head up! You can do it," Will teased.
