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.

[This is one of the first people to mention purposefully coming here. Through a door. And having powers. If it talks like an avatar... but best to be sure.]

Maybe it would help if you let us know sort of where you are.
You can use the sun's position when it starts to set to get a good idea of directions!
What's the coast look like? Are there any big rivers nearby?
Oh, and if there aren't you could definitely try to find one.
Freshwater's super important.

You're not wrong, I don't think anyone actually knows what's going on yet.
Or they're not speaking up if they do.
And you're not alone is losing abilities you should normally have.
Even my physiology has been altered. Made closer to a human's? It's disconcerting.
No offense to any humans. It's just the last thing I'd want to be.
I have committed no poking.

You intentionally came here?

[ Reading everyone comments on here has been ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL to him. The fursona thing is especially wild (he knows what that is, thanks, he's from 2019 before the world ended and he's spent a lot of time online).

Also wow Martin, rude??? He's not making things up! Though he's used to that sort of reaction by now. He doubts this guy, Dirk, would think he was making things up though.

But the thing that matters most to him: ]

You have experience with the multiverse? Hands on practical experience, not just theoretical quantum physics papers that no one takes seriously?

[ EXCITING ]

You're the only person so far who has mentioned being able to travel to other worlds/timelines/universes on purpose. How does that work, exactly? I assume you can't just sidestep back out or you would, but if there's rules to it I want to know what they are. I don't see any other way to get everyone else home, since I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of us are from different universes.
