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.

[why the fuck is everyone screaming]

I have no idea what those words you're saying are.

[moonfang]

They're names, ya goddamn dingus.

[itsjustrats]

[what is a dingus]

Oh.

You're not from around here, huh?

[oh my god Garrett you can't just ask someone if they're foreign.]

[moonfang]

[you. You are a dingus, Garrett]

I think that much should be obvious, yes!

[itsjustrats]

[oh cool so a dingus is a REALLY COOL DUDE huh]

Well, word of advice: if you don't quit screaming you're going to get yourself landed in an asylum before...

[He's looking around as he speaks, and trails off when he realizes that he doesn't recognize this forest, either.]

...Uh.

[moonfang]

[SURE WHATEVER YOU THINK, GARRETT.


Zangetsu watches as he realizes they're not anywhere either of them recognize]

Mmm-hmm. That's what I thought.

[itsjustrats]

[if you're not from around here

and I'm not from around here

then WHO'S DRIVING THE CAR]

My point stands that you look like a lunatic.

[so. there.]

[moonfang]

I mean.

I kind of am a lunatic, in a literal sense. My name is Zangetsu.

[he says, like that means anything]
