[Some people might be glad to find out that they're no longer fictional. Some might maturely go about the sudden news with dignity and caution. Others might dive into the opportunity to learn about the "real world" as much as they can, quickly coming to terms with their new lives. Surely, a few have taken the most rational routes possible or even found humor in their new whereabouts.

Alisha is in none of those categories.]

Someone needs to tell me wot the fuck is going on right now.

[Does she believe anything the hospital staff told her? No. Not in the least. Actually, she's of the opinion that some storm-empowered jerk is running around, using his power to change everything up, some way, somehow. At any rate, there has to be someone in this God-forsaken place that knows what's truly going on; without any way of knowing where to even begin looking for a person, she turns to mass video.]

At the very least, please tell me someone else out there doesn't believe all that hospital doctor bullshit.

Ohh my God! Holy fuckin' Christ! Alisha! Words cannot say how bloody happy I am to see you. You have no idea how weird it's been - no fuckin'clue.

Really, I'm just happy to see a familiar face.

[easy_a]

Uh, how familiar can my face even be?

[Seeing as far as she knows, they spent one evening together and that was it.

Welp, better to have someone from a one-night stand whom she vaguely knows than no one at all.]

Also not exactly wot I meant by "tell me wot's going on," but it's a start.

[geminated_man]

What do you mean, love? You don't remember the fun times in the community centre? You, me, Curtis, Simon, and Kelly? I mean, I can understand things bein' a little fuzzy after... You know, the whole thing with the...

Well anway, it's great t'see you. We should grab a pint! Reminisce about old times and that, yeah?

[easy_a]

Since when were you ever in the community centre? Have you been stalking and wanking over me?

[It's one thing to know that she's had community service; it's another to know the names of most everyone else who does too.]

And we'd only have one time to "reminisce" about; don't think that really calls for a pint, now does it?

[maiditoutalive]

nobody believes it but im sorry
there isnt a better explanation

[easy_a]

Uh, that's bullshit. People don't just wake up on some weird shitty island because "they're not real."

[maiditoutalive]

except thats exactly what just happened to you isnt it?
i dont know if you were real or not
you have to decide that for yourself
most people do think its bullshit
its just that thinking that doesnt mean youre not now stuck here with the rest of us

[eggplantier]

Well hi, fellow non-believer.

Um, unfortunately, I can't say I know what's going on. I'm new too, but I get the feeling it doesn't really make a difference.

[easy_a]

And wot exactly do you mean by that?

[If they got into this place, there has to be a way out, right? Surely, if there's a way to find out how everything works, there's a way home; it technically should make a difference... or so Alisha thinks.]

[eggplantier]

I mean, like. There's this guy I know.

[Her ex and once crime-fighting partner, but Alisha doesn't need to know that. No one should need to know that, but Steph's brain keeps reminding her because now she's stuck on an island with him.]

He said he's been here for, I don't know, two years or something? And he hasn't been able to leave. So it...doesn't look good.

[Which doesn't mean Steph doesn't want to try, but that's what she knows so far.]

[reanimated]

ALISHA

[easy_a]

Nathan?! You're here too?

[Okay, so all this definitely has to be the work of a storm shithead, right?]

Okay, seriously, wot's going on? Why the hell are we in this place?

1/a lot sorry

[reanimated]

Oh Christ, I missed your beautiful bitchy face so much.

[reanimated]

DON'T YOU DARE TELL ANY OF THE OTHER SHITHEADS I SAID THAT

[reanimated]

Which, y'know, you actually can't. Cos they're not here.

[reanimated]

Look, I don't know how it works! I've been here for two years, Alisha, TWO BLOODY YEARS and you expect me to have all the answers? And by the way, thank you so much for finally showing your face round here, it's been me and that stringy split personality fuck for far too long! For fuck's sake, I was starting to think you lot forgot about me.

THE END

[reanimated]

It's not all bad. Sometimes you wake up with tits— or in your case that'd be waking up with a massive cock. Sounds like a right laughfest, eh?

[notvictorious]

I told you they were gonna show up.

Okay, I probably said they wouldn't, but I'm glad they did anyway.

[reanimated]

Yeah yeah, it's a bloody Christmas miracle.

Look, I'm going to need you to do me a huge favour and DON'T TOUCH HER

[animator]

I'm skeptical.

[Video]

[easy_a]

So... you halfway believe all the bullshit?

[Video]

[animator]

I'm not sure what I believe right now. When I first got here, I was up in arms about how there had to be some other explanation, and I'd still like to hear one.

Meeting people who are present in works of fiction that not only exists where I come from, but that I'm an avid reader of? That's making it harder to be a stubborn disbeliever.

I've believed in some pretty crazy things over the years, and had them proven to me. This is by far the craziest. It's not sufficiently proven yet, but... like I said. I'm skeptical. I don't have enough information to decide one way or the other right now.

[notvictorious]

I think I'm kind of late saying this, but most people don't believe the madeup thing. It doesn't get any less freaky, though.

[easy_a]

Wonderful. Now instead of weird shit showing up once a week, it's going to be every day.

What else could go wrong?

[notvictorious]

It's more like a couple times a month, if that helps?

I'm Victor.
