It was an odd sensation, like coming up for air after being submerged in water or focusing after zoning out. All of a sudden, Marlon was keenly aware of the winter wind ruffling his fur and prickling his eyes. The tom frowned, throwing back his mind in search of any memories to tell him where he was. Nothing. Everything was obscured by a dense fog and all he gained was an unexplainable emotion that pressed against his mind then faded away along with the wind.
Curiously, he didn't feel any panic at the realization that he couldn't remember anything prior to waking up. Something told him that all was how it should be. He let that feeling soothe him, though there was a faint voice in the corner of his mind that sneered, 'this isn't like you, you know?' Marlon ignored the nagging to focus on the horizon. 'I should find someone.' Being alone wasn't an appealing idea. He silently got to his paws and began his trek.
Marlon let his paws carry him all the way to what seemed to be a border. The territory in front of him seemed to be a marshland, which was...unfortunate. He could already imagine what the damn humidity would do to his long fur in the summer. The thought did nothing to soothe the perpetual frown that marred his face and with a click of his tongue, he returned his attention to the space in front of him. There was no way he was going to turn back because of humidity. He wasn't a pussy. "Hey. Is anyone home?" Marlon called out. He would wait until someone responded in order to ask to join. No reason to waste his breath if nobody was around after all.
