Aki lifted her hand above her face, shielding her eyes from the rays of the beating sun. It was almost blisteringly— wait, the sun?? What was she doing outside?!?

Aki shot up—she had clearly been drugged and/or kidnapped and brought to some remote grassland. Panicked, she felt her pockets, but the unfamiliar cherry-colored device on her wrist caught against her pants and distracted her from her anxiety. Was this some kind of tracker? A bomb? Aki looked around and for the first time noticed her fellow captives. They all seemed to have the same wrist device she wore, but in their own brand of colors. That explained everything—they must be some kind of human livestock, raised only to be slaughtered later. What a nightmare!

Aki's hysteria was interrupted by something shifting in her vision. She tried to rub away the now-noticeable smudge in her eyes, only to quickly realize that the blurriness didn't have anything to do with her eyesight. The small viridian diamond in the corner of her vision drew her attention, but she was rapidly distracted by the weird loading-like bar and spinning wheel. Finally, she drifted toward the gleaming text occupying the center of her eyes.
[color=FF7276]Wel...come...[/color]
[i]Welcome?[/i] Welcome to what? Why did she have text in her vision, what is this place, and what on Earth are all these people doing here? Nothing about this situation made any bit of sense... Wait. Dreaming. That's right, she must be dreaming. Aki sighed, sitting back down. Now she just hoped she'd wake up.
