[An Anonymous message pops up on the network around 5AM. This is definitely a very normal time for anonymous messages to hit the network.]


Hi!!
My name is Penelope and like, wow, I was totally not supposed to be here at all!
I've got some like, *crazy* important stuff going on back home, so I can't stay and hang.
Can someone be like super sweet and tell me how to get off this plane?
I'm like really cute so you should totally help me which would be so rad.

PS. If anyone here knows anything about Crab Kings or Shrimp Parties they should definitely let me know.



[This is a super, totally genuine message, and not a deception being crafted by a goblin-but-not-goblin boy, currently up in a high tree, spiralling into levels of paranoia and stress that... actually pretty normal for him, but anyway, who is definitely not going to be putting his own damn name out there on this network cause he is not insane.

He's also already been up this tree for a day and a half, furiously trying to figure out where the hell he ended up, cause it sure isn't Arborly.]

[You know who is absolutely going to fail any kind of intelligence check and only picks up on "planes" and "crabs". Yeah, it's him.

Who let him be awake at five AM.]

There's no way off of this plane unless the creature/god/whatever in charge decides to and it seems random at best.

Also what's this about crabs, now? That sounds like another nickname someone gave me here. [Aaaaand someone has An Ego today.]

[necrodentia]

FITZROY, GO TO BED!

[ Says the woman who is also awake at 5am. ]

[maplecourt]

YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER, RAINER.

[Why are they like this? Honestly.]

[The Crab King and Shrimp party stuff is how Riz hopes to find any of the other Bad Kids if they've ended up here, so he definitely won't be explaining that. Instead he focuses on the part where some creature or god (and isn't that practically what Kalina is?) is responsible for doing this.]

Oh Wow!!! That is like *super rude*.
Just FYI, who is the creature responsible for doing this?
Is it the Shadowcat?

[maplecourt]

[Sad days when it's not about him, but he certainly wouldn't know a thing about any of that nonsense. Fitz socializing is a hard ball in general.]

... You mean the hard to perceive cat? Of course not, what would a cat do?

If I remember right, it's name is Archeous or Archas or something along those lines. I wasn't paying much attention. Supposedly it's a llama, whatever that is.

[necrodentia]

Hi Penelope!

I was going to say, I don't know any crab kings but I do know a crab knight... But it looks like he found you first.

It's okay!
Do you know anything about how to get out of this place?
I really need to get out of this place.

[necrodentia]

Oh yeah, no, sorry. There's no way to control when you come into or out of this plane. There's also no way to send messages to other planes. Huge bummer, I know. If I could just message my dad, he could planeshift us all back to Nua.

YOU GOT ON A PLANE??? WHERE? I DIDN'T THINK THEY HAD THOSE HERE!

What? No.
I meant like the planes of existence.
You know like the Astral plane or the Nine Hells.
I really need to get back to my own plane.
It's important.

[Reading the message once he has sent it, Riz ends up worrying it is not right. That the tone is too off. God, how does Fig do this? Riz has only send a handful of messages and he already feels like he's sweating through his shirt.]

Cause like. I got a big big party planned.
so it is SUPER important I get back.

[Is that enough? Should he explain why the party is so important to get back to? Will that make the lie better?]

It's my birthday party!!


[It's exactly like being back in Arborly and trying to talk to the bartender with Adaine. Except this time Riz doesn't have any piles of gold to fork over.]

[machismost]

WOAH HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

So we're actually on a thing called a planet right now! Is that what you meant? Man other worlds are so crazy sometimes...

[ He literally is imagining a giant airplane in outer space. Why not? He's seen movies and anime like that! ]

But anyway you'll be able to get back home to your party one day! Maybe in the meantime you can have one here?

Oh, you believe anyone at all cares about the importance of anyone else's "stuff" back in their reality?

How quaint. You will see how uncaring our captor truly is. For your sake, I do hope you are quick to learn and likewise shed such misplaced self-importance, for the latter will serve you not.

However, might I add that it is rather queer to post anonymously yet introduce yourself. Certainly sends a mixed message.

[Hey. Wow. This dude? An asshole.

But Riz has handled a few self-important assholes in his time. He's a goblin. People looking down on him is hardly new. That doesn't mean he can't get information from this guy.

(It's also probably stereotyping but until he gets any information otherwise, Riz is definitely picturing this guy as a High Elf.)]

Someone cared enough to bring me here.
But you seem to know more about our captor.
Feel free to correct my misconceptions.

[amaure]

If it cared much at all about you tending to your undoubtedly important tasks, then I doubt it would have spirited you away as it has.

Yet it has done this to all of us, with no regard to the sensitivity of the matters it has so thoroughly interrupted. If you believe it will listen to you over the countless others who have suffered the selfsame fate, then I really must wonder about this Penelope character you claim to be.

So then, who is she? Certainly she is someone far more important than anyone else here, even the supposed Gods among us.

I know of Vlad King, but not Crab King.

[Riz folds his hands in front of his face for a long moment, staring off into the middle distance for a bit. How does he even respond to this?]

Oh okay!!
That's okay. I don't except a lot of people to know about that.
Do you know how to get out of this place?

[heir_conditioned]

[#Everyone-who-has-to-deal-with-Todoroki]

Unless you mean you're actually stuck in a particular building, then no Penelope. There's no way home. None that our majority has heard of. If it's any consolation I was told some comforting things like your friends and family aren't in any danger or stuck worrying. I had the same concerns, myself.

[logdates]

I hate to break it to you, but the maybe-llama whatever that brought us here doesn't care who cute or even great and lovable you are. You're stuck here.

But, I'm learning it's not so bad being here! If you ignore the fact that most everyone you know is in a whole different world, it's actually... Pretty fun!

I've essentially been kidnapped by some strange god.
My friends don't know where I am and I have no way to contact them.
The weird kidnapping god also turned me into a human for some bizarre reason.
I'm not really seeing the fun here.

[logdates]

Wait a second! You weren't a human either? Wow! I heard it happened to other people, but I think you're the first other one I've met!

[nightyorb]

[Does no one take Introduction to Planes 101 here?]

It's a realm of existence.
Like a world?
But it can be more than a single world. Planes are huge.

he's so bad at writing, I'm sorry XD

[fayblood]

so if ther can be more worlds how do you k now if its a diffrent plane?
