wow I'm more rusty at this than i thought.  okay, yes I still think I can do this.
I just gotta slow down and read the posts over a few times before I react to them. and I think if I start to go off on a tangent again instead of trying to fix that idea I'll just cut it off and come up with something else.

So from my characters perspective it's been a normal day, she went to bed had a strange dream and woke up in a cave, with a bunch of other people from town who also don't know how they got there, and one guy who doesn't look like he lives in town, which she'll at some point recognize as the hermit that visits town once in a while. Get told he's a real life member of a Guild she thought was only a town legend. but being as his story would explain all the strange things that have happened to and around her and better then anything else she can think of, She'll go along with it and then when she starts to learn about her powers and tries them out that'll fully convince her.

being as this is modern day, she'll also have access to modern day tech, and sci-fi stories. for additional inspiration and resources.
