Arrival
★ Arrival
Your arrival may go a little something like this:
It all starts with a nightmare. Definitely not a normal nightmare, either. It's the worst nightmare of your life. When you wake, you can only remember it through hazy confusion, recalling just shadows of horror and stabs of fear.
But the nightmare ends and the day goes on like normal, except . . . except for that shop. You've been in this place a thousand times before and that shop was never there. And it won't open up unless you're alone.
Curiosity gets the better of you and you go in. Inside the shop is a man whose smile almost seems to split his face in two, exposing rows upon rows of bright, white teeth. He steps towards you, and you stumble backwards, hitting your head. You wake up in what appears to be outer space. Not dark, cold nothingness but the nebulae and galaxies and stars. Standing in space is a cloaked woman, calm as can be, offering to answer your questions.
Where am I? What is this? Who are you? All very good questions to ask. The answers you receive?
In a voice far more calm than befits the situation, she replies that you are where you are, that this is the Astral Plane, that she is Meredith Sault, though that is not her name. Further questions earn only the curving of her lips and the words, "Welcome to the Machine."
And that's it. You open your eyes again and you're standing outside the shop, everything back to normal. Or at least at first glance things seem normal. But now that you think about it, that outer space place felt more real than home does. Then, a thought drifts through your head. Nothing clear, nothing coherent. It's a curl of a compulsion wrapping around your mind, and you find yourself drawn back inside that shop.
You think you're in control of the situation. You just don't know: You're already trapped. You step inside that shop and find yourself back on that astral plane.
From there, what happens is up to you. It is at this point that the first person sample of the application begins, when that character steps back onto the Plane for the first time.
