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.

[It is a lot, yes. MOMO lets out an understanding noise at the most part.]

I'm afraid not. I thought I was done waking up places I didn't recognize...

[onetwoboom]

Oh damn, you too?

[Her face falls, catching that last part.]

You holding up ok?

[The wonderfully pink thing was asking them all if they were alright, but was anyone asking her?]

[grantmeamiracle]

[At least this is definitely an improvement from waking up on the Song of Nephilim. Jury's out on whether or not it's better than the second time, though...]

I think so. It's just... very confusing. ... Thank you.

[onetwoboom]

[She supposed confusion is a fair response, but it sounds less intense than appropriate for the situation. Maybe this girl just has a really good grasp on her emotions. Imagine that.]

Hey, it’s no problem.

[A pause. She had a feeling they’d probably have to stick together well enough for the time being.]

You got a name? I mean - you probably do, but, like...what is it?

[She’s nailing this social interaction thing.]

[grantmeamiracle]

[It's amazing what keeping a cool head can do, really. And, like, this could be a much worse scenario, all things considered. Nobody's immediately dying and there aren't any Gnosis and the Testaments aren't around either. It's fine. Probably.]

Oh, um, I'm MOMO! What's your name?

[onetwoboom]

Name's Gaige! Your friendly neighbourhood mechromancer, anarchist, and kind-of-a big deal. Nice to meet ya, MOMO!

[Spoken like its in all-caps.]

Quick question -- you ever heard of a place called Pandora?
