POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS


[There's no doubt that those who wake up will vaguely remember a dream.

In that dream, at least for most people, there are two figures, informing them each that they had a Title. With that title came a power. More than that, they were being given rooms, as if they were meant to stay in the dark and gloomy place where their dreams placed them. The Strangers might have found this to be a ridiculous proposition. Unless they have been through this before, then were probably not surprised in the least.

All of this, of course, ended with a sense of inexplicable dread for everyone. Especially when they woke up to find themselves in long, thin, cramped rooms, with only candlelight to give them any illumination.

Yes. Unfortunately, that dream had not been a dream at all, much as you might have hoped. You are here, now, inside an old, decrepit house where you have been given what appears to be a permanent residency. While you apparently have a power to aid you, it's no comfort. You have no option to leave, you have no way to escape, and the rules hammered to your door doesn't help the creeping sense of doom pooling in your stomach.

...

Now.

Where are those two figures that had greeted you to begin with?]

I'm an explorer by trade but more recently I was shipwrecked on a deserted island that no one had ever successfully left.

Things would have to be truly dire, but I hope this place doesn't prove to be a step down from that. Though you can at least say you've escaped somewhere inescapable, now!

[notadinosnack]

It only really means something if it came about with my own hard work and I get to show Ricotta the outside world.

[yonosoymaria]

Ah, so you've... left someone behind, then. Hopefully we'll be able to get out of this place sooner rather than later.

[notadinosnack]

[Thanatos laughs heartily.] She'll be fine. She's adopted most of Castaway Village as family. My bigger concern is they'll finish the ship and leave without me before I can get back.

[yonosoymaria]

If the island is truly someplace no one has ever managed to escape, then there's no way they wouldn't look for you or wait, right?

[notadinosnack]

It's a dangerous enough place that if someone goes missing for long that we have to assume they are dead.
