At first it is too bright to see. Everyone steps out onto a firm wooden surface. Calls of sea birds can be heard, the surface they stand on gently rocks from side to side. Your eyes adjust and you see that everyone in on a large raft-village in the middle of the ocean.

"You took us to a raft in the middle of the ocean?" Nightmare started.

"Yep." Roach mewed.

"This is your idea of a peaceful, safe place?"

"Seems pretty peaceful to be. No sharks, calm waters..."

"I'd rather live in the mansion." Nightmare turns to return through the portal, but the portal has already closed.

Roach waves her paw dismissively. "Oh, don't worry about a thing. Just take a look around. You've got crop farms, fishing boats, some starting materials, even your own rooms! I think you'll get used to it pretty quickly."

Nightmare looks both scary and scared. Killer pats his back. "I'm sure nothing bad'll happen, Nighty."

"What about those impostors you said were coming with us?" Fell asked.

Roach gestured to a small platform, where the impostors sat on in their cage. "Over there. I recommend calling them Twilight and Buggy."

"How cute." Ink grumbles, glaring at Buggy.

"I feel sick on multiple levels..." Sci groaned.

Roach's tail twitched, acknowledging the comment. "Again, you'll get used to it.." The golden cat stands and pads along the wooden platforms. "You'll occasionally have to make repairs, for obvious reasons, so you have a scavenging ship to collect drift wood and scrap material."

"This sounds familiar." Horror comments.

"I based all of this of a couple games. Do you know Raft and Buoyancy?"

"Ohh, hell yeah! I vote on staying here, this is wicked!"

Nightmare scowls at Horror, shutting him up.

Roach continued. "You'll have to fish for, well, fish. You could probably try collecting underwater plants. There are farms of various to tend to, an evaporator to make fresh water, everything essential. Your rooms are off over there. They're small but cosy. You'll want to pair up for those rooms. And the sail-"

"What is we don't want to live here?" Dust asked. "What is some of us physically can't contribute anything to this place?"

Roach stops and sits down, her tail curing around her paws. "Well, I have somewhere that would be more your style. A village in a forest, would that be good?"

"What if something happens to us?"

"I will pull you out and take you back to your AU's. I don't intend for anyone to die this time."

Multiple people exchange glances. Cross speaks up. "We might as well give it a try..."

Many agree with Cross. Roach smiles. "Excellent to hear. But remember, if you find this isn't the place for you, just call out my name into the sky. You all remember my name, yes? It's Roach, or Goldenroach if you want to get specific." Roach stands. "I'll be taking my leave now."

"You promise you're not going to abandon us here?" Geno pressured.

"I promise. By the honour of my daughters, my creations, my very life, I will not abandon you."

With that, Roach disappears into a puff of golden smoke.

Asks and dares now continue on as normal. You can ask them anything or to do anything. You can interact with the characters normally, and even ask them to react to things. Enjoy.
