You find yourself awakening in an unfamiliar location. Even if you don't sleep - even if you weren't sleeping in the Void, or even if you weren't in the Void - you find yourself here now. Your head feels fuzzy and you struggle to remember. Where are you? What were you supposed to be doing? Who are you? The exact extent of this is up to you all, but regardless, waking up is a struggle.
Getting free is going to be even more of a struggle. You're suspended in a glass tube of some kind, bound at the ankles and wrists keeping you aloft by mechanical shackles. Those will break fairly easily even if you aren't the strongest; the glass tube will be the bigger problem. It's thick and not the easiest to break - although those of you with enough strength can shatter it, and if you remember how to use your shards, those could come in handy.
Speaking of, you still retain your shards on the backs of your hands where they should be. You can still make use of them even here... wherever "here" is.
It seems to be a laboratory of some sort; aside from the glass tubes housing all of you individually, there are several more filled with liquid and dark objects within... are they people? Regardless of what they are, they fill you with dread. You don't want to end up like them, do you?
The laboratory is dimly lit. You can only see a few feet in front of you, making it difficult to tell what else this place has to offer aside from your fellow shardbearers and those ominous tubes. Strangely, any attempts at creating light - whether that's through anything you have on your person or through use of your shard powers - will simply fail. You're stuck in the dark, it seems, and even if you were once capable of seeing in it, you aren't able to now.
Focus on getting free first, then let's see where this leads.
[Well this sure is an unusual development. Ed panics for a moment, before realizing breaking the shackles is easy enough. That wasn't too bad!
The glass is proving more of a problem, though. Even though he tries, he can't break it. Trying to paint over it isn't successful either. The few strokes of ink he managed to make on the inner surface of the glass extends, but that's probably because of the fluid he's suspended in, making the ink fade enough for him to not be able to get out by himself.
The glass is a little weakened, though! So hey, at least it'll be easier to break it from the outside. With a claw, he taps on the glass, hoping to get the attention of someone, hopefully friendly]
[Between vines and a good ol' metal punch, this glass had zero odds of survival. Soon there's a rather disheveled hyena, trying to get used to solid ground again]
Is so dark in here...this is not normal. Watch out.
[His night vision normally is excellent, but he can't see anything at all right now]
[Bless you! Oh, this is much better. Being trapped anywhere sucks. He stands there, looking around -- or trying to, at least]
Thank you. it's...unnerving. Nobody can make any light in here?
[He already suspects the answer might be no because, well, under normal circumstances Ed would be able to see even in pitch dark, but here it just isn't working out at all. Something is wrong in this place]

As for yourself...feel free to do as you wish.
[ The blond will return to meet up with Wolfwood to go north. ]

[ Yves summons some ivy vines to wrap around the glass and constrict it until it cracks. then Yves breaks it with a good kick. ]

[ At least labs are pretty... standard and uniform? ]

[Some friendly advice. You never know what might happen -- maybe you'd lean too hard on a wall and it crumbles away, while nobody is looking]
