intro

You don't remember getting knocked out.

That's the best descriptor for the feeling you experience before you wake up. There's a glittering absence of color to your field of vision, and a sensation that you aren't yourself, you aren't anything in particular. Abruptly, unpleasantly, you wake up in a strange, sunny location. Where that is might vary--laying in a sun chair on the pool deck, draped over the skee-ball machine in the arcade, face down in a cart in the laundry room....or just stretched out in the long, long expanse of sand surrounding the island.

There doesn't seem to be anyone else here, aside from the others who have woken up and have as little clue where they might be as you do. It's a silent, empty island filled with a lot of questions and few clear answers. What you can conclude are a few things: that you don't get hungry or tired, that any wounds you have don't seem to either heal or worsen, and leaving the island doesn't seem to be possible.

Maybe it would be good to meet with the others who have woken up?

You said it yourself. Someone's doing this, so we find them and-

[finger snap]

-kick their butt. Easy peasy my squeezy!

[Sonic that's not how that goes]

[kurohato]

Oh. Well. That sounds simple enough.

[Just killing some rando. That's super easy. Akutagawa nods, assured.]

If we can find that person. They may very well be hiding themselves. A wolf amongst the sheep, so to speak.

[But once he finds them, he will kill them. Excellent plan.]

[prime_spacetime]

[Do not tell Sonic about the murder he's like, T for Teen at his *worst*]

Guys like this love to gloat eventually. I say give it a few hours, tops.

[kurohato]

[THIS IS THE SHADOW GUY....he has about as much tact as he has eyebrows. Which are lacking.]

...That's a very familiar notion. You're quite right. But in my experience, they tend to plan. If we are to get them right away, we'd better be careful. Being quick is part of it, but I suppose you have that covered.

[Fingerguns]

Oh, I got it in spades my man.

[He holds up a hand to shake. And I do mean up, cuz he's like, 3 1/2 feet tall]

Name's Sonic!

[kurohato]

[Well. This little ability user has charisma. Akutagawa, in contrast at his 5'8 of stature, lowers his hand and shakes Sonic's.]

Akutagawa.

[At least with someone like this, his naturally poor social skills don't matter.]

And that's good. Maybe then we'll be able to go home. I've got business to take care of, then, anyway.

[...]

Are you an ability user?

[okay, he has to ask as he puts his hands into his pockets. the appearance is. a little odd]

[prime_spacetime]

Huh? I mean I have lots of abilities. Speed, durability, incredible good looks.

[He slicks his quills back]

[kurohato]

...

[well, time to be straightforward]

So you just naturally are not human and that's not an ability. I just had to establish that. I'm not used to conversing with non-humans, to be blunt.
