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.
We were all split up and moved around at various times - while I too had concerns about where others went, given the circumstances I understand that it was impossible to account for everyone.
Therefore, I shall expect it the same of everyone else.
[ though...how much trauma did the rest of yall experience over there... ]
I do wonder what other groups experienced, however.
The copies of ourselves were as distorted as Yves said that they were. Though, when they died, they glitched out, and dispersed. Not all of them struck at us mindlessly, however - I did notice that they seemed to be capable of something like a basic line of strategy. Even if they strategy was 'causing glass to be thrown at everyone on a consistent basis'.
[ Kind of like being pelted by rocks, in a different manner. I personally found it hilarious even if Voidkipedia did not. ]
...What do you mean by you all not running into allies, exactly?
And I mean that we ran into copies of ourselves too, just ones that didn't attack us. Physically, at least. Seemed like they were tryin' to get a few hits in on us on the mental front.
[Too bad they failed because joke's on them, Oscar already has no sense of self-worth!]

[ It sure was...something. ]
When they died, they merely...glitched out and whatnot.

[And he's going to make it a point to try NOT to remember that fake Eric glitching out as he'd vanished after Oscar had run him through...]

Hopefully nothin' as bad as yours. As for my group, we didn't run into any enemies, but I can't say we ran into any allies, either.
[Well. Maybe some of the others would think of their doppelgangers as allies, but.]
