6: If you are uncomfortable putting RL info on the internet, you don't have to play.

BAY 12: INTO THE GAME
Sitting at your computer, you load up Dwarf Fortress and Gen a new world on a whim. As the worlds history generates, you begin to feel entranced by the flashing symbols, the dancing colors, the history playing out in fast-forward on you computer screen.

Then, you begin to fall.

You enter you computer, you enter Dwarf Fortress, falling spinning! You are disoriented and confused, and green, white and purple symbols dance just out of view!

And wih no warning, you land. You are facedown in the grass, and you can hear others around you, all breathing heavily like you. The grass is soft and green, full of life. You are still very disoriented...

The game stops now. This is your new reality.

You will need to post an action.


Also, I just realized that we will need a gender for pronouns. My bad.

Forsaken looks up, surprised at the yelling.

Seeing others nearby, he stands and waves to them.

They seem to notice you, but do not immediately respond.

(also male)

There are no plumes of smoke, or dead trees. However, there are sparse trees around you...

Male.

I looks around, trying to find the source of the yes.

You see a man in a t-shirt and shorts. The t-shirt is labeled something about "SCIENCE!!!"

"WHAT IN THE HELL MAN!?!?!"

This draws a few stares. One of your lenses has popped out.

Male. Check surroundings. Are we in grassland, etc etc?

Also 6'2" in case we meet dorfs and they feel like measuring me for dorf science.

As you move forward to check your surroundings, there is a crunch under your foot. You lift it up to reveal a cracked eyeglass lens. The others do not appear to be dwarves, or indeed anyone you would expect from DF. None of them appear to be wearing thongs, in anycase.
