Maeve slowly rose into consciousness, becoming aware of more and more as she did. First, there a loud, high-pitched ringing in her ear, as if she'd been right next to an explosion. Next, she couldn't really feel her body. She could feel the cold, but it was like being in a dark tank with water the same temperature as your skin; she couldn't definitively say where her body ended and her surroundings began.
She tried opening her eyes experimentally, and was met with darkness.
"H-hello? Is anyone th-there?" She stuttered slightly, her voice not quite cooperating.
