Backtrack your memory--how can you most likely figure out you got here; examine self for injury or any markings.
Get to a diner, too. Possibly chat up the nearest hospitable soul and inquire on current news: Socialize.

[SomeStupidGuy]

Check your phone, man. Fire or not, it's rude as heck to not call people back after a missed call.

[Wrex]

You sit over a plate of bacon and eggs, with a mug of coffee just strong enough to give the uninitiated a stroke. The food is remarkably robust for being four in the morning. A warm fire burns in a hearth in a central pit in the room, while rustic decoration compliments the "Charmingly disheveled" appearance.

You check your phone. It's from....yourself? Dn't Lk In Th Mirrr

Huh.

[Kagus]

Remember your sins. You've done some very bad things, friend... Hardly the type to deserve a greasy spoon breakfast reward.

[Darvi]

Compulsively try to fix the typoes in the message because it's 4AM and you're not awake enough to realise that you can't edit received messages.

[TheBiggerFish]

Well, avoid looking in mirrors until you figure this out...
Or mirrored surfaces...
Or metal surfaces...
Or anything reflective...
Oh darn IT, you looked in your spoon.

[Wrex]

You mash your fingers over the keyboard before realizing you can't edit your own messages. Damn. It really is 4 AM.


You still can't remember anything about that. Still, you are filled with a sense of....dread? You try to avoid looking in reflective surfaces as you finish your coffee. To your horror, almost everything is a reflective surface.

So... What did we see, or not?

[Wrex]

So... What did we see, or not?

2 Successes  You didn't see anything untowards in the floors, your coffee, or your phone screen.

[TheBiggerFish]

((Out of how many maximum, by the way?  Or are you not going to tell us?))
"...Excuse me, but is there something wrong with my face?  Only apparently a drunken past me wants me to not look in mirrors for some reason and I'm wondering what."

[Wrex]

Theoretically, you could have gotten 8 total, but each point only has a 33% chance of being successful. 2 Successes is a fairly high result for an average human-most professionals can expect to get about that much on every check. So it's a fair bet that nothing is off, though not certain.

[TheBiggerFish]

((Ah.  Thankye.))
((By the way, would 'coding while using stackoverflow' count as Google-fu or coding?))

[Tiruin]

Cross compare numbers of 'self' in that message, and search contacts for personal number.
Maybe this is a prank--I mean, "I woke up in a warehouse in the middle of I-don't-recall-well land."

"...Excuse me, but is there something wrong with my face? "

+1 to polite snippet. Get a feel of the other person's openness by...social examination first, then ask the best choice.
