The long still air of the tavern suddenly shivers as Raven snaps out of his coma. A butt of dust erupts from him as he stumbles backward. His limbs aren't used to movement, neither is his brain. He falls to the floor in a pile.
From his place on the floor, the hunter takes stock of his surroundings. There, caught mid-action, are the faces of these strangers that occupied this small establishment at the same time as him. Last he remembered, all of them were animate and lively. So was he. He shivers at the thought.
Testing. Testing must be done. He stands up and looks around. Nobody else seems to have awoken along with him, and everyone appears to still be present in the room. Nobody has aged a second, though the dust coating each and every surface suggests that they've all been frozen for months. Nobody blinks, nobody even breathes. He waves his hand in front of a few faces but gets no response.
