Kari sat up in her chair, her arms above her as she stretched from being hunched over in her chair. She had gotten carried away and lost track of time playing the MMO she'd most recently found. With colleges in session already, she felt that she had plenty of time to waste before having to get serious about thinking over what she wanted to do in life. What time was it, anyway? Closing the game, she looked at the corner of her screen to see it was... about noon!? She really [i]had[/i] gotten carried away helping those newbies out, she'd been in-game for ten freakin' hours! 

[color=00aeef]"Ugh... Alright, nap time."[/color] Kari stood up only for her stomach to growl at her. [color=00aeef]"... [i]Alternatively[/i], food."[/color] And so she went to her fridge and got out leftover pizza from the night before. Taking it and a soda back to her computer, she started pulling up something to watch while she ate. 

Twenty minutes later she remembered that she was going to go to sleep and slowly pulled herself away from the videos she had been watching. Was there anything pressing that she had to do before bed? She couldn't think of anything, so the last thing to do was just making sure she didn't have any new texts or emails.

[color=00aeef]"Let' see... 'Evil is afoot, save the innocent... protect those who can't protect themselves...'

There was a flash of light that made her close her eyes, and when she reopened them she was standing in a room that could really use some redecorating to add some color, where there seemed to be some other people in various states of confusion. 

[color=00aeef][i]Oooookkay... Apparently I fell asleep without realizing it.[/i][/color] She jumped. Nothing. She tried again. Still nothing. [color=00aeef][i]... That usually works.[/i][/color] She glanced at her hands and groaned. They looked perfectly normal, which was rare for a dream, and that usually meant she wasn't going to be able to influence it much. New plan.

[color=00aeef]"Hey, so... Where am, err, where [i]are[/i] we?"[/color] She asked, directing her question towards the group of others as a whole.
