For the first few moments the only thing in your world is the sound of rain hitting metal above you and the stench of weeks of decay. Then the pain hits.
Your body starts shivering as sharp points dig into your back, but you can't bear to move as your body aches so badly even shivering is almost making you pass out again.
You lay there, staring blankly at the darkness surrounding you. Unbearably cold. Unable to think from the pain. Abruptly your attention is drawn by the shrieks of a child. You can't make out the words as they are muffled by the rain and your container, but you guess that they are screaming for help. You turn your head towards the sound and go rigid in pain as your neck throbs in agony. Through the pain you manage to make out an inhuman shrieking, so loud that you would swear it was screaming into your face. Overlaying the steadily growing screech was a rythmic thump, one every second, and quickly approaching. By the time the noises finally stop you could swear they were shaking the world apart. A few moments pass and you slip back into unconciousness.

You come to again. You're so cold it feels like you are about to die, but the pain is gone. It is an incredible struggle, but you manage to lift your arms up and put your hands against the top of your container. You suddenly think of a coffin and you are suddenly overcome with terror, whit a shriek you push against it as hard as your aching limbs can and inch by inch you manage to push the lid up. Scrambling up you throw an arm through the gap before your strength gives out, and slowly you push your way through the opening, wincing in pain as the lid scrapes over your back.
You land in a heap into a stinking puddle of water and stare at where the sky should be. You see nothing but soaking wet pipes and wires going up at least dozens of feet, most of them not even connected to anything and just hanging there, useless and decaying. Some still ocassionally drip droplets of water onto the soaked, cracked and uneven ground. You look towards your container and see that it's a dumpster. You suddenly feel sick and look away. The only light in the immediate area is coming from yellow bulbs in absurdly thick metal cages which cast your surroundings in a dappled, surreal glow.
Idly you think about how stupid it was of you to walk in Tallaght alone at night. But the worst that could happen to you there was wandering into the wrong area and getting killed, And even though Tallaght was a skip, nowhere in it looked nearly as bad as this.
Your voice comes out, weak and painfully.
"So, where the hell am I?"
What do you do?

As long as you've read the title you know this is a quest that contains at least one vampire. It also contains a lot of other things. Horrible, horrible things that will try to kill you, such as Human beings, and robot zombies probably not.
Also Dice Rolling shall be in this quest but as I don't know how to use Magnificate's dice roller I won't be able to show you the results. Don't worry about it though as it's not important yet so I may be able to figure it out before anything serious happens.
And just so you don't think I'm not paying attention, while this post was in first person, from this point on any other posts continuing the story will be in third person.
