Please see the group’s Discord Server for OOC talk and further info.
OOC talk in the potential IC thread is highly ill-advised.
Link to sign-ups.
In the vast reaches of space, there exists something known as the multiverse. An unfathomable amount of universes, worlds, and dimensions. Dimensions that are unreachable by conventional means. Worlds that hardly are even aware of each other’s existence. Universes that, in essence, have no business meeting each other.
That is, until today.
Prologue
“The White Room”
It happened without warning.
Wherever you were, whatever you may have been doing, it didn’t matter. Dark, thick smoke suddenly began to envelop your body. It was an odd sensation; it didn’t hurt, but as the smoke encompassed your entire being, you felt a tingling sensation run up and down the parts it touched. Like your entire body was falling asleep. It started at your arms, then your torso, legs, neck, and finally your head, down to the last hair. As the smoke overtook you, you quickly found yourself losing consciousness. The last thing you remember seeing before you were taken completely was the world around you going black.
Whether you were a human, robot, alien, or animal, the experience was identical for everyone. You didn’t dream while in this state. You were completely unaware of your surroundings, almost as if you’d gone into a comatose state of sorts. And as you disappeared, time moved on without you in your world. Unwavering, unflinching, unforgiving.
You awoke on a hard, concrete-like surface. Though that wasn’t the odd thing. No, the thing that threw you off the most was the fact that you felt like you had awoken from perhaps the best sleep of your life. You were lively and brimming with energy. Not a surplus of it like you were on a caffeine high, but enough to where you felt well rested enough to get you through the workday. However, that feeling quickly became overshadowed by the sudden, faint pulsating in your skull. It was very faint, but it was there.
Once you finally had registered all this, you took notice of the room you were in.
Everything was pure white, including the walls, floor, ceiling, furniture, and doors. It was a rather boring space, actually. Besides the doors that probably led outside the room, there were no other rooms in sight. No windows to look outside, either. The room itself was rather big, however. It had to be to hold all the people in it.
Yes, perhaps the other big thing you picked up on was a multitude of people, all standing around the room with you in one gigantic, boring white space. Well, standing was a bit of stretch, as they were all mostly still recovering from what had just happened to them as well. And from the looks of it, they were all just as confused as you are.
“What.. is this place?” Came a the sound of a young adult’s voice. He had messy, maroon hair and was sporting a plain navy blue and white sweater, as well as a pair of orange goggles which were wrapped around his neck. He looked around for a moment before noticing the rest of you. He became a bit more relaxed as he did, crossing his arms and leaning up against one of the snow white walls.
“I’m Leonardo Watch. But you guys can just call me Leo.” He said calmly, yet with a slight hint of unease in his voice. “I’m uh.. Guessing you’re all trapped here too, huh?”
As you pat yourself down, or simply took notice, you’d find that whatever weapons you had on you were missing.
With that, you had a few options. First, and perhaps the most obvious, there were a pair of white doors at the end of the hall behind you. Perhaps you could approach them and leave this place?
If not, there was a television set on the opposite side of the room from the doors, which hung on the wall. There was a remote control seated on a white table in front of it. They were the only non-white objects in this room, it seemed.
There were also a set of drawers and a set of cupboards, all situated behind you in the right corner. Needless to say, these were pure white as well.
Finally, if none of those options suited you, you could either converse with Leo or simply get to know each other.
