>Start.
 You are the IMMORTAL MAN. Currently you are floating somewhere at the bottom of the ocean, chained up for reasons not even you remember anymore.
Normally you wouldn't care too much, being immortal and all. But you've recently lost track of time and you like to keep things like that in mind.
So it'd probably be good to go find a calendar. Which means first you have to get out of here. Somehow...(Mirror)

Nope, no luck there. Immortality is not the same thing as super strength, apparently.
Which is kinda crap, because that means you're just a regular guy who can't die. Ah well.
>Wait for the chains to rust away.
Now that you CAN do. Definitely. You've turned waiting into an art form at this point.
All you have to do is unfocus your eyes like so...zone out...and...

There. You don't like doing that too much, though. You have no idea how much time you just wasted.

Fun fact: human buoyancy is partially provided by the lungs acting as an air-filled balloon that brings you to the surface.
Fish have a special organ for this called a swim bladder.

Well this is different. You're pretty sure all this ice wasn't here before.

Yeah, fair enough. This IS a pretty unique human experience. Though most of your experiences are "unique".
So do you just put it in your mouth, or...?
==>
Okay, just about what you were expecting, no thank you. Just because it doesn't kill you doesn't mean it won't taste like it could.
You're not sure if it made you any stronger. Probably not. Too bad life doesn't have a stat screen to check things like that.
==>
Speaking of which, you decide to check your CHRONOSTATUS.
You still don't know what year it is, but currently you are processing time at the normal human speed of 1 SECOND per SECOND.
Your INTEREST in the situation you're in is decently high, which is good. If it dips, you could zone out and accidentally skip a few centuries.
>Go check out that boat.
You see a pretty sweet-looking boat. Maybe you could hitch a ride somewhere with less ice and more cocktails. And cocktail ice.
There is also a set of buildings at the base of the boat.
==>
Well well, what have you here? Humans? Aliens? Something alive, in any case.
==>
Living things ARE more exciting than endless frozen desert. Your INTEREST rises accordingly.
Maybe you should come say hello. You're not sure how they'll react to some guy walking out from the exact opposite direction they'd expect, though.

Take off your shirt with visible radioactive waste on it before you go say high to these not immortal people who can easily get cancer.
It won't help but at least you can say you tried your best.
Also idk maybe hit on one of them.

politely ask to be decontaminated due to exposure to radioactive waste. don't want these people to die and/or mistrust you.

Question why you were wearing just a flimsy Hawaiian shirt, just because you are immortal doesn't mean frostbite isn't painful.

>Take off your shirt with highly radioactive waste on it.
Ohhh no, no way. You don't even trust yourself to hold it just in case you drop it and it falls down a crevice or something.
You know exactly how annoying it is to constantly have your clothing rot away and you are NOT looking for this shirt all over the world again. It stays on. All your clothes stay on.
You do try to clean off some of the radioactive waste, though. Not that that would help much if you were taking a dunk in that radioactive pond for however long.
>Question why you were wearing just a flimsy Hawaiian shirt. Just because you're immortal doesn't mean frostbite isn't painful.
Well, it's like you said. You're not sure why, but the clothes you have on you are the only thing which is as immortal as you are. Talk about only living with the shirt on your back.
As for frostbite, you're really not feeling it. Actually, you haven't really felt anything for the last few centuries you can remember. It's...alright. You're used to it by now.
==>
You're not sure, but you think they may have noticed you at this point.
>Politely ask to be decontaminated.
You try and make a quip to lighten the mood. This is what people do, right?
Goddamn, you haven't talked to people in such a long time.
==>

Oh, right. It's the future. What was it that linguists say? In 500 years any language becomes warped to the point of being unrecognizable?
Awesome.

Draw a radiation hazard symbol in the snow, then point to the waste remaining on your shirt. then just go with the flow.

You attempt your best impression of a tourist who refuses to acknowledge that people speak languages besides English.
You really hope this works. You don't want to end up giving cancer to the first two people you've met in centuries.
==>
Oh, there we go. Judging from those facial expressions, they may have gotten the point.
>Stay calm.
Yeah, no, you're not too worried. You're pretty sure they can't do anything to you that life hasn't already done.
Oh great, now it looks like they're arguing. You don't have the patience for this. You don't even like watching people argue if you can understand them.
==>
Man, standing around like this is boring. You- nope! Gotta stay focused, come on.
Just wait for them to finish their stupid argument. The last thing you want is to lose concentration and end up-
==>
Oh goddammit.

Yep, that's the ocean alright. You can't even see land at this point.
Okay, that's it, no more losing focus. This time period may not be great, but at least it's got people in it. You shouldn't just zoom past it.
>How long have you lived? Do you remember when it started?
Too damn long is how long. You don't just not remember how it started, at this point you don't even remember your name or where you're from.
All you know is at some point after you turned 30, you just...stopped aging. Or dying. At first you thought it was a superpower, but now you think it was more like an act of God?
Whatever. All this introspection is distracting. Back to the now.
>Read the note on the door.
Huh. You were expecting nothing and you're still disappointed. Go figure.
>Bust out with a clever quip.
Great, the door's locked. That or it's just stuck or you're doing something wrong or something. Stupid space tech.
Whatever, you don't know what kind of quip you'd use in this situation anyway.
>Do a lively jig in order to maintain your concentration.
You don't know any jigs, so you instead opt to do a limited-space version of the Hustle.
It doesn't help you get the door open, but at least you feel a little better now.
