The red bearded gnome could only look at the human who greeted him first in a friendly manner, and he responded with a confused, "[color=f7941d]Uh...He-Hello?[/color]"

He then watched as the others came to and started asking questions and making their own comments. As everyone collects themselves, they note that the 'pods' are not so much technological pods like they'd probably see in movies or visualize in science fiction novels. Instead, these pods seem to be more like...bubbles. Looking back, you see that whatever pods you supposedly came out from are nowhere to be seen. 

The gnome listens to the group and he comments to himself in confusion while standing up and dusting himself off, "[color=f7941d]Kansas? John Hopkins?[/color]" It seems that he didn't recognize those names at all. 

At the mention of afterlife, he starts, "[color=f7941d]I can assure you: This is not the Afterli--Wait![/color]"

He utters the last word as an idea clearly struck him. He seemed to lower himself to the ground once again. One knee is on the ground and the other booted foot is on the ground as he seemed to be inspecting what appears to be strange markings on the floor. 

He mumbles to himself as he studies the strange markings, and you notice that these markings seem to form a circle around you. The two bubble pods seem to be hovering above the markings themselves, while everyone else seems to have gathered within the circle.

"[color=f7941d]Eureka! Reincarnation! That explains what's going on right now![/color]" The little guy exclaims in realization.

He then speaks out loud, "[color=f7941d]But only Druids are capable of that, and--I just made a discovery of a life time...![/color]" The last statement came out as a whisper.
