A pair of eyes snap open, blinking to adjust to the darkness that surrounded them. A confused look shows on their face, not knowing where they are or what happened.

They sat there wondering for a minute or two, wondering if they should get out of this coffin that they were placed in without their consent.

An abrupt sound snapped them out of their thoughts. Choosing to stay silent, hoping to gather any information they can, and to not get harmed by this unknown.

"I better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me..." they voice sounds nervous almost.

"Urgggh... This lid weighs a ton! Try this on for size! Mya-ha!" The familiar warmth of fire brought some sort of comfort to the person in the coffin.

They took note how it was blue fire, the hottest flame, it made the person wonder if they were truly that hot or if it was some sort of magic to make them that color.

"Now to grab the goods...What?! You ain't supposed to be awake!" A talking cat like monster yells surprised.

The person who stood in the now lidless coffin tilted their head at the monster, it didn't seem to be attacking them straight on, that was strange.

"What are you some sort of cat weasel thing?" Their comes out a bit gruffer than it normally is.

"How...How DARE YOU! I am no WEASEL! I'm Grim, sorcerer extraordinaire!" The monster looked offended as you compared it to a weasel. "Tch. Whatever. You...human! Just gimme your uniform, and be quick about it! 'Cause if you don't...you're gonna regret it!"
