While I did anticipate finding myself in a brave new world upon stepping through that door, this isn't exactly what I was expecting.
Nor is this the company I was expecting to have.
I've been hearing a whole lot of strangers' voices coming out of this ancient piece of shit, and a notable lack of any familiar ones.
I also find myself somehow bereft of a number of items and abilities I should have had, many of which would have been pretty handy in what seems like a deserted island situation.
The rational question to ask here would be "what the fuck".
But just from eavesdropping on a few of y'all's conversations, it doesn't seem like anyone actually has the answer to that question.
So I'll skip the useless panic and confusion and whatnot and instead just ask:
Who was poking me and ran off before I fully woke up?
Fess up.

They head into the jungle near the beach.
Beyond that, I couldn't say yet.

[aluminumandash]

Time to get off the walkie and fuckin move.

[timaeus]

I'm multitasking.
Taking stock of the situation before barreling headlong into the fucking jungle.
Besides, if the mystery stranger wanted me dead they could have done it easy while I was still unconscious.

[aluminumandash]

Move away from the jungle. He could be off to get help.

[timaeus]

Someone said the mystery locals are using bows and arrows.
If that's the case, I can take them.
And I'd prefer to confront my stalkers head on than just wander around with them presumably watching me.

[aluminumandash]

How old are you?

[timaeus]

Weird moment to drop an "a/s/l?" to be honest.

[aluminumandash]

Itll help us id your corpse.

[timaeus]

O ye of little faith.

[aluminumandash]

Correct.

You dont answer Im going with 15.

[timaeus]

I'm not going to be goaded into spilling personal information by the threat of "some stranger assuming I'm 15".
Gotta give a little to get a little.

[aluminumandash]

Im comfortable with my assumption.

Now get away from the fucking jungle.

[timaeus]

Nah.

[aluminumandash]

At least pick someone and tell them where you are.

[timaeus]

Someone clearly already knows, judging by these footprints.
