Ceasefire - The Way Out
Dec. 9th, 2018 02:41 am[The room is dimly lit and made of pitted, industrial metals. You sit up abruptly on- some sort of padded table or cart? There’s a caged structure of metal piping surrounding you like a low barrier, but it’s open on top. You might similarly have a moment of panic about the straps holding you down or the electrodes on your head, but they’re just velcro and lightly tacked on, respectively, and in no significant way prevent you from sitting bolt upright and getting onto your feet. A series of twenty one such tables ring the room at even intervals. All but one has an occupant.]
[However long it takes you to notice, there a twenty of you again. Patches, the Trusty, and Yaiba, the Legendary Bassist, are back among your number. Penny, unfortunately, seems to be missing. Whatever you were wearing to the trial, or at the time of your death, you are back in the clothing you wore when you initially arrived. If anyone checks, CAREFULLY PLEASE, they will find that any powers they may have been missing are back.]
[The room is lit well enough, and there are computer banks and monitors around all the walls, which look to have been monitoring your vitals until just this second. Wires and tubes lead from each table to the center of the room, where a low pool is filled with a thick, milky-looking liquid that looks incredibly disinviting to touch.]
[A door rests on each side of the room, a glowing hand-sized pad beside each.]
[Welcome back, Participants.]
[Now, what do you do?]
((One clarification - any active powers that require some kind of power source or connection from your home worlds will either be not active or severely weakened.))

Moss and lichens have begun sprouting in places, beginning the slow process of nature reclaiming the abandoned structure.]
[The nearest feature beyond that is the beginnings of a sprawling mountain forest in the distance, trees growing thick.]
[Between here and there? Looks to be a whole lot of nothing.]
