New Arrivals: Bury Me Alive
When you wake, it's initially to darkness: musty, stuffy, and dense. Your eyes may take some time to adjust, but when they do, something will rapidly become apparent - namely, the fact that you're underground.

Unfortunately for you, it's not merely earth that separates you from the surface. It's also flowers in rich abundance - an untold, innumerable weight of dead and decaying plant matter, twined around the ancient bones strewn underground along with your sweet self, pressing down from above, peeking through the cracks in the metallic folds of whatever material once comprised these buildings' ceilings, walls, and floors.
Whether it's a mass tomb or something more sinister, you'd better figure a way out, and quickly. If you didn't show up with a shovel or some means of teleporting yourself out, you may very well need to resign yourself to digging your way out or making a lot of noise to attract someone who can, before this becomes a more dedicated grave.
Everyone Else: All Will Change and Calcify
As for the rest of you, well...if you're anywhere near the regions of G5, you might hear the sounds of a not-insignificant number of people finding themselves displaced underground, and requiring your imminent assistance in getting out. Perhaps you'll recognize the place. It is, after all, very well marked. They'll probably be properly grateful if you mind offering the help, and hey - it's a welcome break from the eerie, ever-present silence that clouds almost the entirety of Umui. As long as you don't mind digging around that old cenotaph half-buried in the flowers and scraping through sheets of metal, a lot of flowers, and...oh, yes. The first bones you'd be finding since arriving here.

Including their diagnostic systems.
The warning, repeated shrills will undoubtedly be heard by anyone who passes:
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
And that's probably fine. Right?
All new arrivals will awake with knapsacks, their names stitched to the front. The contents of said knapsacks can all be found in your acceptance notices!
As a final note to those who participated in the Test Drive Meme, bear in mind that those threads, if all parties involved would like, can be game canon in the form of dream-like memories involving a place very much like this one, though the layout is considerably different.
Feeling a tad adrift? Make sure to check the Locations Page, which has details regarding the starting areas and a handy map for those who feel better with a bird's eye view!

[Nari turns around in place as she nods. It's a very farfetched story. The full version of it was worse, but if Carolina ever needs corroboration, that was a thing here.]
Of course I have no full evidence to prove what I say is true other then having my girlfriend and my friend who were there with us tell you about it. And you can ask CT, too. This place has taken people from different times, dimensions, entire universes... You might meet someone here you know, but they might not be from the same timeline or even fragment of dimension. My best friend lived in a world with dragons and didn't know who I was, and one day she woke up and remembered things from when we were in the same place together. So.... this place is fucked up, will fuck with your head, and we're all trying not to die on a regular basis.
no subject
As for CT, well, considering the last time Carolina saw her was with Tex when they went to go get her armor... She's probably not someone that CT wants to see, and Carolina can't really blame her. True, she might have gone about things in a way that wasn't exactly beneficial, but Carolina hadn't wanted to see her dead. She'd learned the truth far before Carolina had.]
How exactly does it mess around with your head- or just the whole different times spiel?
no subject
[It was awful. Sherlock Holmes game glitch for a week did not make interactions fun when she was the equivalent to an unwilling stalker.]
Other shit has happened, like dream hopping, killing gods, people dying and coming back... I swear, survival is the easiest part of all this. Everything else is like living in an extreme episode of Naked and Afraid except we're allowed to keep our clothes on.
no subject
So basically expect the unexpected.
no subject
[If you get lucky enough to come back for an explanation.]
no subject
Any other tips about this place?
no subject
[Because she has and it's literally because of the "'s".]
no subject
[Because it is clear that there has to be something out there besides bugs. Unless she really doesn't like bugs. Personally, Carolina has roughed it more than once in her life.]
Uh. Is he easy to get mad at?
no subject
[Like ghost sharks...]
Yes. He named the place Denny, not Denny's. I am very offended by that.
no subject
And they just ignore any residences?
[Because, okay, with everything else here, for all Carolina knows, that makes sense.]
Is his name Denny, or he just doesn't like apostrophes?
no subject
[The islands they have houses on are about 80% safe most of the time. Maybe a little more or a little less.]
No, I think his name is Tim. And the reason is likely because it's the only one. Still makes me mad. I will be the first to admit I am petty as fuck about some things, and this one of those thing.
no subject
You say that like it is supposed to make sense.
[That dryness to her voice.
Then again, Carolina doesn't like being in the dark and there is a lot that she needs to catch up on, it seems.]
... could always just add the s yourself.
no subject
[It's... weird. She doesn't like it.]
I could. Might be a lot nicer than me wanting to burn the whole place down. Would make less people mad, maybe.
no subject
[... people may or may not have been buried alive in the past.]
no subject
no subject
[Now... she's just starting to question it all.
Vitals can be messed with. Healing packs? Dead are dead. She knows that. Every day of her life, she knows that.]
no subject
[It's annoying, but at the same time, really exciting.]
no subject
[She has run across aliens. They... okay, they wouldn't be mistaken for higher ups, but the possibility exists.]
no subject
[And for someone who wants to understand everything, it's very, very frustrating.]
no subject
[A sharper look on her features then as her helmet's visor remains steady on her.]
no subject
[It's pretty therapeutic.]
no subject
[Except maybe that they'd give no advice.
Not that she would take advice from some stranger who is coming to hear stories. As for pissing her off... Well, she might have issues with some individuals now and then, but she has been less angry since leaving her father in the facility to himself. It's not that other things hadn't enraged her, but a weight had been lifted.]
no subject
[Not that therapy had been bad. It was useful when she needed it, but that was years ago. Now? Unless one knew how to erase memories, they wouldn't be wanted.]
Anyways, that's the only god we deal with on a regular basis. The other ones pop up when they feel like it and make a right mess of things, so nothing to worry much about. That's about all I can tell ya of the island since I've been here only a little while myself.
no subject
How long you been here?
no subject
Since May. So just a few months. There's people who have been here longer than that, like my best friend. She's having memory problems at the moment, so she can't really tell me.
