( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )

There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently? In addition, characters will find that they've been allowed to bring back souvenirs from this most recent trip - trinkets, nothing violent, but items that can fit in your character's pockets, whether that be sentimental or otherwise.

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. For those who have been here a while, they might notice some expansions. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble.

It might've changed since the last time you saw it. Today it reads:

(*´ω｀)o That wasn't so bad, was it?
Hey, you know how that old song goes?
Do you believe in magic? (☆▽☆) Do ya?

Hope you found what you were looking for!

You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin. In addition to that, it seems like Home Base is on the fritz again…?

It seems that suddenly and at random, characters will be able to suddenly see visions of memories that aren't their own flash before their eyes. Pieces of your lives or where you were before this will suddenly slam into other's heads, as clearly as if they experienced the event and the feelings themselves. You might have an inkling of where your memory went and what it was - but you'll need to talk it out with that person in order to recollect it in all its strength back to yourself. Don't you want to keep those precious parts of yourself? It's best if you don't fall more to pieces while you're here. (Memories that have been lost in fragments cannot be sent to others - that's more fun for the future!)

There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Or maybe you'll get a glimpse of where you're going next. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:

There's still much more ahead of you.

Yeah? Yes.

[ i can't believe futaba is pumpkin anyway here comes beau to climb up on top of the ufo. this'll go well. ]

[alitaba]

[ carrying the weight of someone else on top of her own personafication sure is a weird feeling....!! though she's done it before so clearly this will be fine. ]

wHOA.... WEIRD.

[ at least she'll find a way to like. dim the lights and not spin as fast to yeet beau off immediately ]

How's the view?!

[disreguarded]

[ thanks, beau appreciates not being yeeted into space team rocket style ]

Pretty great! [ beau hollers down at her ] Let's do this?

[alitaba]

[ that's next week ]

You've got it....! [ there's a gremlin cackle from the speakers and a sensation of engines revving before WOOSH, INTO THE CAR WASH THEY GO. THESE SENSORS CAN'T CATCH THESE HANDS-! ]

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO-

[disreguarded]

[ this is so stupid, beau's going to end up with a broken nose or something from the machinery in here jfc --

there's a whole lot of shouting and laughing from beau, who gets water dunked on her immediately and also has to hold on for dear life. it's fine, she's a monk, she can dodge. probably. ]

[alitaba]

[ i'm so glad this is their introduction.

but futaba is definitely whooping with excitement as she nyooms through the car wash, only barely missing getting taken out by rogue sponges. ]

ISN'T THIS FUN?!

[ it's like the world's most bootleg water ride, now with more soap in your face! ]

[disreguarded]

[ same this is so good

and actually? beau does find this fun, like obnoxiously so. she's completely soaked already, but it's fine. she also gets whacked in the face a few times with sponges but whatever it's not like anybody will be able to tell when she's already covered in bruises. ]

THIS IS CRAZY! [ beau shouts at the top of her lungs, cackling. it is of the same gremlin quality. ]

[alitaba]

[ there's an accompanying echo of MWEHEHEHE as they speed through, weaving in and out of the direct aim of those jets of water and soap and what other surprises car washes hide ]

THE BEST KIND OF CRAZY.

[ she's never had such a wild 4D level of experience in her life ]
