Who: Anyone
When: Day 1, Afternoon
Where: The Arena
What: With any luck, answers.

[ You've met each other, and at least some of the confused amnesiacs have ventured out into the closest thing the sealed city has to open air, outside the dormitory building they woke in. The arena loomed large, the biggest landmark the city had to offer, and at some elected to explore the large building.

For those that didn't, the grand flash of light that fills the streets, coming from the direction of the Arena may call attention to it.

For those already there, the blinding light that suddenly blazed into existence is impossible to miss, pure and bright. If they closed their eyes reflexively, they may not notice, but the observant might notice that the flash left no afterimage on their closed eyelids. For those with their eyes left open, they will find the light doesn't hurt, or diminish their vision when they look away, though they still have difficulty seeing into that burning core.

Not long after, the light starts to dim. At the core of it, a mass of brilliant wings, too numerous to count keeps itself aloft in a constant whirr of motion and feathers. Or— maybe that's wrong, in certain moments there are no pure white feathers but stripped musculature, raw and writhing, with far too many eyes hidden amongst the folds.

Will you approach? ]

[not approaching, but still addressing the mass of wings (though it might be hard to hear her...)

H...Hello?

[opening_act]

[ despite the distance, and the lack of volume, the mass responds anyway— or is it coincidence? The form dissolves away and reveals a woman, who takes a grandiose bow in the direction of the green haired girl ]

Welcome, welcome.

[foreveralawn]

Um...T-Thanks...? What's going on...

[opening_act]

[ there's only the space of a second in which she may have blinked, and then the woman is before the amnesiac, one hand gesturing to her, and the other makes a wide sweeping gesture, as if presenting her to an unseen audience ]

You have awoken, and soon the spotlight shall sign on you. Here begins a show, wherein you shunned and exiled mortals may earn a miracle!

[foreveralawn]

[stumbling back and tripping over her own feet in shock at the woman's sudden appearance. from the ground:]

M-M-M-Miracle??

[yes, clearly the most important thing to grasp here]

[opening_act]

[ points a finger directly towards her face, rather than helping her up ]

Correct! Perform well for our celestial audience, and you shall be rewarded!

[foreveralawn]

A...Audience...?

[looking around at the arena seats as she gets to her feet]

[opening_act]

[ she raises her head towards the "sky", and her lifts her arms as well, gesturing up towards the heavens ]

Yes. I am one of many, but the one that was elected to begin this act.

[foreveralawn]

B-But, uh...I d-don't see anyone else...

[opening_act]

Nor will you, for now. The stagehands will stay in the shadows, and the performers will take to the spotlight when it is their time.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

[...you look like are going to pass out or something, jesus, calm down.]

[foreveralawn]

[some of us are unnerved by the mass of wings and writing flesh ok!! that being said, she is calming down rather quickly as she gets deeper into the conversation.]

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

[Well, that's better.]

[Still keeping an eye on, though.]

[foreveralawn]

[I'm calm!1]

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

[Going to make sure he's between wing-flesh-mass lady and you, just to be on the safe side. :|]

[foreveralawn]

[excuse you we were having a conversation. :T]

...??

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

[Not actually blocking, just making sure there's room to maneuver in asap if she's bugging you.]

[foreveralawn]

[stepping around Bucky so she can keep line of sight with her as their conversation continues]

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

[Cool. Just going to stand by until we're both done, then. :|b]

[phonyphanty]

[actually yeah, I'm with my good twin on this one]

[foreveralawn]

[uh...

glancing back and forth between him and Bucky in confusion once she spots her audience. no one said anything about twins...!]

[phonyphanty]

...You can tell us apart by the metal arm.

[foreveralawn]

Oh, uh, t-thanks for the tip...

[phonyphanty]

[frowns to himself for a moment, glances at his twin, and eventually says:]

You're not going to accomplish anything by panicking.

[foreveralawn]

I'm n-not panicking.
