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?

Sort of... But mostly for the hell of it. You?

[ why does he keep standing in front of the elevator then ]

[kurohato]

Sort of?

[he was waiting to get on alone but....he won't be alone. he's not alone. he's with a weird kid.

that sounds about right for his life, though.]

...I'm exploring the island. Not like we have much else to do. It's a free area with limitations.

[compendiem]

[ just pretend he isn't here. he's quiet. ]

Limitations?

[kurohato]

Mmm. A little man named Sonic and I tried to head for the forest earlier. It wouldn't allow us to. It just spat us back out.

They've limited us. For what reason is unknown.

[compendiem]

[ elevator compatriot (: ]

Huh... I wonder what the forest eats, then.

[kurohato]

[ :) ]

....

[...you are a strange little man, Minato.]

Hell if I know. Not hedgehogs. Not humans. Why is that where your brain goes?

[compendiem]

Things are happy when they're full.

[ It's a simple reason, but, you know? It's good they don't eat hedgehogs and humans ]

[kurohato]

A...a forest can't feel....

[he is out cryptid-ing him]

....Sure. Then perhaps we can find something it enjoys more. Maybe water. We've got plenty of that.

[compendiem]

Seawater and pool water. That will kill the trees.

[ Which? may not be the worst thing. Dead trees can't spit people out. ]
