It seemed, at first, like a relatively normal morning. Until one realised that a loud crack, reminiscent of thunder, was the cause of awakening. The sky, far above, swirled with a wild maelstrom of colours, and a great black rent was slowly tearing itself across the sky from one horizon, presumably the cause of the thunder-like sound.
Charlotte Sometimes and her sister were a tiefling and an elf, with Sirrus, a hound archon, lying nearby them. The archon seemed inexplicably familiar, as the two girls were fairly sure they had never met him before.
Those were the only three who seemed to have gone to sleep anywhere near each other, although it was a small number of people who were loosely scattered about the area, within about thirty feet of each other. Charlotte and her sister, Sirrus, Rik Deffirra, Neui Thalenamake, Rishhad Claze, and Bruce Maxson. The strange thing was that none of them could recall how they arrived in such a place, although as far as they could tell they had all gone to sleep peaceably, and awoken here without being troubled.
The landscape here is desolate, the strange purplish-grey ground stretching off into the distance without any defining features visible. As the crack in the sky spreads further, it can be seen that the colourful swirls in the sky seem to be shying away from it. Some form of precipitation appears to drop out of this hole in the sky, as well, but it's too far off to determine anything about it yet.
OoC: Welcome! Although I said you all went to sleep normally, I didn't say you necessarily did so at your home. So, as regards your equipment and clothing, I leave it up to you: either what you would have on you if you had gone to sleep at home, or what you'd have on you in, say, the middle of the day when travelling (either in a city or across a planar landscape, depending on which you're more likely to be travelling through).
Charlotte wakes up at the sound of the thundering crack.
"Hey sis! Purple! Wake up... there is a puppy!" she says as she nudges the tiefer awake and points to the Hound Archon. "Doesn't he look familiar? I think we have seen him before... no, PurpleSauce, I KNOW we have seen him before, I just don't know from where....WAIT a MINute! Where is the Hive?" A tear falls down her cheek. She wipes it up quickly though and says, "WHO are YOU?" seemingly talking to everyone present as they wake up accordingly.
OOC: YAY! Let the game begin!
