The room is dark (though he can see in the darkness and bare save for some empty wine racks). He's kept starving, very injured and perpetually frenzying or nearly frenzying while being tended to by Frank.His sense of time is completely distorted by the experience. He hallucinates, he has conversations with people, etc. etc.[sblock=Feeding]Archer is fed through a slot. Once a day. Often after he wakes but sometimes later. Frank carefully uses a stick like a shuffleboard cue slides a small saucer of blood in through a slot at the bottom of the door.Some days Archer manages to control himself and drink the blood, often he falls into frenzy and having rapidly exhausting the blood finds himself clawing and biting at the solid door's little slot.The worst days are when he frenzies and spills the blood, then he has to get it by licking the blood off the floor.No one has told Archer about torpor. Such as he is able to think about it at all he thinks that going without blood is fatal.[/sblock][sblock=Conversations with Frank]Archer thinks that sometimes he talks to Frank. Or Frank talks to him anyway, with his jaw broken speaking is almost impossible.They generally center around how wonderful Celeste is. How important and special she is.You're a rather nasty little mess. But don't worry. The blood oath takes care of all those little messy feelings you may have. Just fall into it. And you'll live forever. You can fight it of course, but you'll do what she says anyway. Don't fight it. You're quite likable. She was very taken with you initially. She'll probably come to appreciate you again.She appreciates diligent service. I've been with her a long time, and I'm treated quite well. You shouldn't take anything that happened personally. You'll understand. It's how things work for you now. It won't be so bad.You'll have an important role to play you know. You don't know of course, not yet, but one day you will know.[/sblock]In addition to his hallucinations Archer also begins to see auras (i.e. develops Auspex **)</blockquote>
