You awaken slowly, laying in the middle of a cold, hard stone floor … and realise that you have absolutely no idea where you are, how you got here, and who any of these people are.

Some of you may also be wondering who you are, too. Hm. That's probably concerning.

There's something just a little creepy about this room. Maybe it's the amnesia? Or maybe it's got something to do with the huge chalk pentagram you woke up in the middle of. The pentagram is surrounded by a ring of twenty eight candles in black and gold banana-shaped candleholders. The flames send the shadows in the otherwise dark room dancing ominously.

There's a wooden door to the East. For now, it's locked; there's nothing you can do to make it budge.

[ huh. standing herself up, looking around the room for a little bit before trying for the door ]

[...sitting up and looking around, tense and wary, taking in all the details...

before getting distracted and picking up one of the candleholders]

Why in the fuck are these shaped like bananas?

[ perfectly comfortable looking it seems. certainly chummy enough that she'll just start talking. ]

Indeed, it is odd. Perhaps like bananas, we are meant to eat them?

It's a fucking candleholder. You wanna try, though, be my fucking guest.

[gonna get up and carry his candle around as he tries to see what else is in the room]

[Well]

[This is Immensely Concerning.]

[He does pat himself down, and nope, no items, that is more concerning. Also why do his clothes look...weird?]

[But there are weird candles and weird shadows...]

[Is he dead?]

[Let's. Not go full grim.]

Banana? Is that what its shaped like?

You enter a room split in two by a huge, jagged Chasm, spanned by the (very) rickety old remains of what (probably) used to be a wooden bridge. Do you have a head for heights and a daring heart? Because you might need both, if you're going to get across this.

Something chitters softly in the darkness way, way up above.

There's one door to the West side, and one to the East.

Anyone attempting to cross needs to roll 1D10.

Candles are not inedible.

[ picking up her own candle though ]

A simple touch is enough to unlock the door.

[tipping his head curiously. despite the situation he seems pretty calm tbh]

Do you not know what a fucking banana is?

I would say good morning, but from this room, I cannot tell what time it is. In any case, I must ask you: who are you? Where is this? Who am I? And, why was I born?

[watching to see if she's going to try to eat it]

[ she is not. ]

In any case, I would say good morning, but from this room, I cannot tell what time it is.

So, I must ask you: who are you? Where is this? Who am I? And, why was I born?

...no.

[He's far north and food scarcity Was A Thing.]

If you don't know who you are, what the fuck makes you think I do?

[He pauses. Considers.]

I don't remember. I don't know, but it looks like a ritual. Lots of candles usually do. I don't know who you are.

Why you were born is probably to find your destiny and then prosper while finding glory and valor.

Okay, well.

It's a fucking banana.

Don't know why sorcerers always gotta be so fucking weird...

Ah. Are you in the same predicament as I am?

I see.

[ seems . . . completely unworried about this. nodding along ]

And how would one go about finding this destiny?

You mean, waking up in a strange room with no fucking idea how I got here? Yeah, I'd say I am.

Then let me revise my approach, as we are comrades in this strange situation.

Sure, whatever you want.

[he's gonna head out the door now that it's unlocked though]

[hmmm. he doesn't mind trying out the bridge but he kinda wants to see what the options are first. checking out what's behind the East door.]

I'm pretty sure magic is always weird to outsiders.
