Help?

At least, I think I need help. I'm pretty sure I do, that is. I mean... I think a dinosaur ate my husband? And yes, I know how crazy that sounds. But I have two kids, both don't know who they are or who I am, and I don't know who I am, but I have a wedding ring on and there's no man in sight - minus the boy that looks similar to the girl - and we're all stuck in one bedroom that I think might belong to me?

Oh, and there's a raptor outside. It looks like a baby but it keeps scratching at the door and making this weird sound almost like it's crying? and I'm not sure what is going on but... I really, really, really think I need some help, here.

Um...hello?

Help?

I'm not sure who I am. Or what happened. And I'm stuck inside a...place. I think it's some kind of...spaceship.

At least I think it's a spaceship. There's lots of turny buttons and knobs. And levers. So many levers.

Did aliens do something?

[sounds of pained mumbling before becoming distinguishable; voice is at a slight distance from the PDA, suggesting it isn't being held]

Shut up, shut UP, what the hell... where the hell... Get OUT!

[crying, then a fist thumping a wall, closer to the PDA now]

Why won't anyone shut up?! Who ARE you?

[THUMP!]

Get out of my head!

[a loud gasp]

My face...

Ok ow! Would someone mind telling me why I just woke up on the sidewalk? Also, maybe while you're at it, someone could be so kind as to tell me who I am, because that would be ace.

Why do I have a bloody feeling of Déjà vu? And that's a lot of empty bottles.

[Max's voice is slightly muffled]

[barely audible]Oh my god!

There's no way that can be a mermaid. I obviously hit my head when I fell. Except I don't remember falling.

[There's a long pause as Max gets a good look around the level of The Sanctuary she's on]

What the...I can not be in the right place. [She spots the PDA and her voice gets louder as she picks it up] Ok, weird. I've gotta get out of here. But wait, why does my back feel weird?

[There's another pause before an unidentified noise, which is Max's wings opening]

Oh my god....I've got wings!! Oh yeah, why don't I yell a little louder in the weird lab. Good one,...Ok, I don't know my name....what have they done to me? I need to get out of here now. [She starts running]

Okay, waking up this morning and I can't remember anything, not even who the heck I am and where I am. Went to make breakfast this morning and something startled me and I blew the counter up. With my hands!!!! How the heck can I do that? I think I need to lay down or something, or maybe a nice walk will help me to remember things? But I don't know about that.

What the hell is this? What's happening? Where am I? For that matter...who am I? I can't remember anything from before this moment, that can't be good.

Must have been one hell of a night, because I don't remember a thing.

...At least the scotch is good. Someone's got expensive tastes...

Wait. What? Who?

I think I need a doctor.

[ooc: I'm still pretty slow, guys, but if there's ever a time to get the characters back into things without having to play catch-up, now would be it.]

FUCK

WHAT THE FUCK

I woke up and I didn't know where I was and I panicked and then I FELL THROUGH THE FLOOR

I think I'm in a basement or something? But it looks like a hospital and I don't think the rest of the place looked like that

when I was... falling... through it?

What the bloody hell is going on?

Huh.

Did I fall off a chocobo or something? There's one standing right here, only he's a little small for riding, but I don't ... Maybe he kicked me in the head? Except he seems ... friendly? Is he mine?

Is there a reason I woke up face first in the grass? It got in my mouth and is terribly disgusting

Ok. Why am I in a shop that has quite possibly the words play on words for its name ever? And why does it look like I was part of a three person kegger? I heard alcohol can kill brain cells but this is freaking ridiculous.

Oh! And while we're at it, what is with some of the people in this city? I asked where I was and was told Colligo. That's it. Just Colligo. No state, no country, just a crappy little name I have never heard of before and am pretty sure I'd never visit willingly even if I had.

Somebody has about five seconds to tell me what in the hell is going on before I... okay, not so sure what I'm going to do about it but I promise you, it won't be pretty.

WHY DID I WAKE UP IN AN AIR VENT?!?!

This is all quite mental. Last night, I woke up just outside of a stall in what appears to be horse stables. I haven't a clue why I would have been there, but there was no one else there that I could find. I'm not entirely sure, considering I'm not sure about anything at the moment, but I may work there. There was a spilled bag of feed beside me when I woke up so I simply finished feeding the horses then went to the office and waited out the remainder of the night before leaving this morning and now I appear to be in the center of town and no one I've asked has supplied me with any useful information.

All I know is that I may work in a stable, there's a girl with a dinosaur in her home and I appear to be in Colligo, wherever that is.

So. I wouldn't be quite so confused if I had woken up in a bedroom. Or really any room in a house that one might fall asleep in. But this is definitely not a bedroom. Even if it seems to be inside one. Inside a box.

I have been attempting to take care of this on my own today as it appears everyone is in the same situation, but I am at a loss as to what exactly to do right now. I woke up this morning to find a dragon in my bed. I do realize how mental that sounds, but it is true. It's a small dragon, but a dragon none the less and I would like to know exactly how this is even possible.

Okay. I'm confused. Really confused. And out of sorts. And I have no idea who I am.

But this guy I woke up with has really awesome abs. Like I'm not entirely sure they're not photoshopped. So...not entirely bad.

Sorry for objectifying you, guy I woke up with.

Um forgive me for intruding on this.. thing, but there's a girl here. She's not saying anything and she's awfully skittish. I've tried asking her name, but she's clearly as lost as the rest of us.

I have no idea what to do for her. Can anyone help? She's um tall, dark hair.. I wish I could have a better description other than that.

Right then. I don't know my name or I'd introduce myself, but I do have a few things to say and I'd appreciate you all taking the time to listen up.

I think it's pretty safe to say that nobody knows who they are right now and that the only way any of us are figuring out where we are is by asking other folks who seem to at least know that much. So here's my question.

Does anybody out there know who anybody else might be?

And before you immediately answer with a definite 'no', do us all a favor and take a look around you. I mean really look. Is there anything that you see that might tell you something nobody else has covered yet? Are there pictures or anything of anybody else you've seen posting on this message board thing? Because I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm figuring in a situation like this, there's bound to be strength in numbers. So maybe if we all work together, we can figure a few things out and answer at least a couple of questions.

Come on now, if you think you might have something, speak on up. Don't be shy. Right now, I doubt there's any sort of info that's pointless what with none of us knowing jack squat about much of anything.

So all I've managed to figure out so far is I work at an autoshop, since it looks like I passed out there, my girlfriend's hot...since no way is that picture of a sister or something, and I either have a twin or someone looks a hell of a lot like me.

Oh and my last name might be Winchester. Since this place is called Winchester Brothers' Auto.

Yo, twin dude. I think we work together.

This is fucking weird.

Okay, so the ball pit at the pizza place? Not very clean. And also apparently not where I live, which is sincerely disappointing.

Any clue as to who I am or where I live? Because I'm at a loss.

[Molly can be heard screaming, and the sounds of furniture flipping over can be heard.]

HELP! Somebody please help me! There's a dinosaur in here, and I think it's TRYING TO EAT ME!

[Old Lace can be heard, her tone as concerned as a dinosaur's can get. The sound of the wood in the door splintering can be heard as Molly literally runs through the door. Several things breaking throughout the mansion can be heard as she runs down the hall, Old Lace giving pursuit.]

MOMMY! DADDY! HELP ME!
