EVERFREE

PROLOGUE: AND YOU WOULD GO TO MYKONOS

=> Begin.

A young, heavily injured human woman stands in the debris and wreckage of her escape pod. Twenty-six years ago, she was given the white elephant of life, and a name to go along with it. She left the name behind, but kept the life around. She figured she needed that.

Unfortunately, this lady is gonna need a name, along with the friend she brought along with her. That should probably be dealt with.

=> Enter name[s?]

_
C-SIDE DISCO
DELTA CAROL

Yeah. That'll work.

=> CD: Examine surroundings.

Your names are C-SIDE DISCO and DELTA CAROL. You were one of the unfortunate few to be chosen for a SKAIA SESSION in your home universe. As with all Skaian sessions, your universe died to serve as fresh fertilizer for any potential new universes.

From there, you entered THE MEDIUM, otherwise known as PARADOX SPACE, a world BEYOND and IN-BETWEEN REALITY AS YOU KNEW IT. You developed MAD COMBAT SKILLS and POWERS RELATED TO YOUR GODTIER. But that is OF NO USE TO YOU NOW. As if to compound your misery, past fuckups led to the session failing. Everything and everyone you know is dead. You SEE BLOOD. ALL OVER YOU. ESPECIALLY YOUR HANDS.

You decided to take up a friend's dying offer and managed to ALCHEMIZE TECHNOLOGY that could jump out of PARADOX SPACE into a REALITY.
You CHOSE EQUESTRIA. Delta said she'd prefer it there because she'd get to meet other dragons. You had your own reasons.

The good news is you made it to your intended destination, relatively speaking. The bad news is you are heavily injured, exhausted, and smack dab in the middle of the Everfree forest.
The worst news is that along with your arrival, many SKAIAN ENTITIES, such as your GODTIER BED, your QUEST ITEMS, and MONSTERS came with your arrival. GOOD JOB. DUNKASS.
You stand in front of the wreckage that was your escape plan, and ponder your options. Seek help? Find water and shelter? See if your powers still work?

=> CD: Find your friend Delta.

Oh, not to worry, she's right behind you.

=> Cool. Get a move on then.

You try to get a hold of your surroundings, and put your powers to the test. You dig deep into the world, and figure out what direction Ponyville would be, relative to the Everfree forest. Your veins feel little wisps of the winds against your skin, and you SHIVER.
It's hard to describe your SKAIA GIVEN ABILITIES, but the gist of it is that you can portend.. truths, for a lack of better word. And as such, you find that Ponyville is somewhat northwest of Everfree forest.
The only issue now is figuring out which way North would be. You begin to walk around, keeping your eye on the landmark that is your crash site. You hope to find another landmark that would be noticable from a distance, like the old castle.
Delta stops you for a moment.

"Hey. C-Side." She growls passively.
You look at her.
".. That's the name you chose right?"
"Yeah."
"Dope. Anyways, don't you think a major meteor strike in the middle of.. this place, would attract some attention?"
"Yeah. For better and for worse," you answer, "manticores and timberwolves could be licking their chops at any moment."
"Let's give it an hour." She bargains. "I really don't feel like walking."
You sigh, return to the crash site, and sit under a tree.

=> CD: Watch the stars.

They're beautiful. Unlike the stars on your home planet, these ones aren't blotted out by light pollution, nor the devastating cataclysm that ended your world. They're so bright and densely populated, that even in the thickened canopy of the Everfree, light shines down on the ground and allows you to see just how alone you two are right now. You shiver, and scoot closer to the fire of your wreckage.

For twenty six years of your shared life, you've been struggling with the looming feeling that the other shoe is going to drop. Even when it would, it seemed that some horrorterror eldritch asshole with the thousands-scooting-fresh-drip would have another pair to dangle and Damocles right over your person. The failure of your session had been the latest of a long line of shoes cascading, usually followed by you scrambling to pick up and fix the mess as soon as possible.

The last one was, more or less, the one time you let the shoes plunge into the abyss, and now all that is left is mostly void and partially stars, the night sky passing you by unabated. For once, you have no idea where or when the disaster will strike again. And that scares you more than you could've ever thought.

"So look at the fleeting stars with fleeting eyes, and feel how the earth beneath you gives. It is all a temporary manifestation of particles, and it is all unraveling back to particulate silence. The bustle of the human day will come and will go. And then there will be night." -Esteemed Radio Host Cecil Baldwin

That is like one of your favorite quotes from Night Vale. Shame the writers of the show are dead. It means that giving that show a relistening will sting twice as hard.

And then, you hear screaming in the distance.
You have the feeling that you're gonna be up till sunrise.
