INTRO.

[ultrapenumbramods]

You wake up feeling like you’ve had a rough night’s sleep… maybe a bit jet-lagged, if you’re familiar with the feeling, or perhaps like you, uh, had a little too much to drink last night. Either way, you’re probably not expecting to wake up in a forest clearing, so that might be even more disorienting. It’s not an unpleasant place to wake up, mind. It’s sunny, and there’s a pleasantly cool breeze blowing through. The grass isn’t tall enough that you could get lost in it or that someone could be hiding in it… or something.

There are, in fact, a lot of somethings surrounding you--a veritable menagerie of creatures, some of them adorable, and some of them intimidating… but they seem to be as disoriented as you are. And then, well… you realize something’s a little off about yourself. There’s no pond to look at your new appearance, but… maybe the ground’s a little closer. Maybe you don’t actually have arms and legs at the moment. Maybe you don’t have eyes anymore?

Regardless, something’s definitely up. Fortunately, there’s a path leading out of the clearing, so once you get your bearings and speak with some of the other weird critters you’ve woken up with, you can find… somewhere you can get answers. Well, hopefully, anyway.

"Maybe a wormhole." Because he's had more than enough experience with those. "But I've never heard of one that could sneak up on people."

"Mnh...I, the man Gongenzaka, should think it did more than merely sneak up upon us, given how sharply my memory cuts short..." He has experienced exactly Three wormholes, and only One was unexpected and that same wormhole was preceded by a dang tornado.

Shay nods in agreement, then apparently he's seen enough of what he needs to see from his perch and hops down... which is helped by his spread out arm-wings catching the air into an almost instinctive glide.

And then the bird narrows his eyes, staring at Gongenzaka and his accessories a bit longer before deciding to brush off the matter completely.

"... Anyway, there's nothing around besides the obvious path. So we might as well take it if we want to find any answers."

"Aaauh. Lingering here is simply... ....talking in circles, it feels." So, with a determined nod, he'll start setting off then. "Well, let us proceed, in that case..!"

Off they go!
