Aurora, The Land of Twilight and Falsities

Being what the situation was, it would be natural to an informed observer that Shannon’s phone was indeed out of range. Of course, this was not unusual in itself; not every place was within range of a cell tower or telecommunications transmitter. She raised an eyebrow as the older girl mentioned 911; she must be an American. Shannon was more perturbed though, that ‘she was really far away from home.’ That was incredibly vague, to say the least. But before she peppered them with questions, she introduced herself. “I’m Shannon Forsyth. Nice to meet you.” Normally she’d make mention of her family or some relation for social points, but she’d realized quickly enough that connections wouldn’t matter in the middle of nowhere.

Shaking her head, she replied no; all she had that was anything significant was a hunk of metal and plastic, and a clipboard with some paper on it, which she sheepishly offered in lieu of a handkerchief. With the silly formalities aside, she resumed her quest of discovery. “So… far away as in, ‘I sleepwalked all the way Waterloo far’, or ‘somebody clocked me on the head and flew me to Williamsburg far’?” She paused for a moment, considering the absurd. “’Or I’ve fallen into a closet and appeared in Narnia far?’”

Conveniently enough, the appearance of a new figure did much to answer this question. She nearly jumped when the tall, slenderman-like entity appeared behind her and tapped at the phone. Rooted to the ground, she watched as the thing jumped away towards the two others after fruitlessly pressing a few icons. Despite the near jump-scare entry, it didn’t seem to be immediately malicious; rather, it seemed to try to help Valair. Shannon watched incredulously as it created a glass of water out of thin air and handed it to the injured man.

“Who… are you?”

Guess I'll throw one up when I wake up.

Aurora, The Land of Twilight and Falsities

I, too, still exist.

Right… perhaps that was not the best greeting to give to strangers lying in a field, and bloody bloodied ones at that. She wasn’t a doctor, but honestly, the man’s injuries looked no worse than a rather runny nosebleed. She was going to say that it didn’t look like the bloke was dying, but Shannon supposed that might earn her her very own crimson dyed face depending on how temperamental the woman was, so she backed off.

Having been defeated in making any overtures, Shannon simply walked away and sat down on the grass, still dazed in a state of utter disorientation. It was only after the two strangers began to talk again did she get up and approach them again. This time she was a tad blunter, having the opportunity to gather her marbles and get her bearings of the (immediate) situation.

“My apologies if that was an inopportune moment, but can somebody please tell me what is going on?” Having said this, she finally noticed that the man was bleeding from the eye, something that certainly wasn’t normal. So like any bystander completely ignorant of the world’s state of affairs, she offered to call 999.

Unlike some other people across other plains and realms, Shannon Forsyth seemed to have it easy, or as easy as a college student who was suddenly punted from a musty old library onto a field in the middle of nowhere. This spiriting away was so immediate and unexpected that she still held a pen and clipboard, atop her laptop, which had recently become dead. She was lightly dressed, wearing a button down shirt and a black skirt under a blue windbreaker; it had been lightly raining only a short while ago.

Upon blinking, she had found herself amongst vast, grassy plains, stretching as far as the eye could see. For a few moments upon arriving, she had thought VR goggles had been shoved onto her face by her enterprising sister. But after clawing at her face and applying a clipboard and laptop to such aforementioned body part, she had been convinced that the landscapes in front of her were in fact, quite real.

Of course, this was a bit of a bothersome scenario. She had yet to question how she’d gotten here, but civilization itself seemed to be absent. And she really needed to get back to the library to charge her laptop and finish her paper, because that thing was due in less than a day. But unfortunately, there was no road or metro to ferry her back to her dreary, rain sodden city.

The only thing that broke the unending green was two figures in the distance, lying on the ground. She had to question her own sanity, but nonetheless walked towards them, because there simply was nothing else to do. With some luck, perhaps they could tell her how to get back to Oxford. On arrival, she came upon what appeared to be a businesswoman and man in plain looking clothes. The man’s face was a obscured in blood, as if he’d been clocked by the woman next to him, leading Shannon to raise an eyebrow as she greeted them dryly.

“Come here often?”

I haven't really been following this conversation, but I don't remember anybody saying anything about Team TPs. I remember both Gnar and Ash repeatedly saying that you'd be put on one of the teams that has two people in it.

@chukklehed

It wasn't stated outright but the implication was there. Guess that's over now, so I'll see if I can't whip something up. Thanks Gnar.

Aurora, The Land of Twilight and Falsities

Yeah, no hard feelings to any of you, but I got completely blindsided. Communication was almost nonexistent. I was led to believe I was gonna be paired up with Team Taxpayers, but then I woke up in a completely random group. If there was a bit of prior notice before, something like "nope, no can do," I'd probably have been fine with it.

That kinda stuff makes you feel like you got shit on, ya know? I'd work with it but it really makes me lose a lot of motivation.
