>PAST ZANE: Fail to make sense of where you are.
Okay, that's pretty easy. You still haven't got any clue what this place, or why it might look like it's been ravaged recently. It is a complete and total mystery to you.
>FUTURE PAST ZANE: Explain everything to PRESENT PAST ZANE.
You attempt to jump to FUTURE PAST ZANE, but failing to specify a time, you encounter him at a point in time where he is busy dealing with some sort of looming threat. He is too busy saving his own skin to accede to your request, even if he WAS willing to deal with time travel to do it.
>PAST ZANE: Think for a bit.
You return to being a version of Zane who isn't otherwise preoccupied with mysterious adversaries. You stop to think a bit... All you can really puzzle out is that things are sort of eerily quite and you can't figure out why... Also, your head seems to be hurting less now than it was before. You wonder why it's gone down so quick.
>PAST ZANE: Succeed at making sense of where you are.
Nope. You still haven't got a clue. Examining your environs has not given you the precious insight required to discern your whereabouts.
>PAST ZANE: Stealthily explore city.
You slowly float out the window and try to move about stealthily. You... aren't really certain if you can. Even if these awesome yellow pajamas blend in well with the less damaged buildings,the bright light coming from that massive... you don't want to call it a Sun, since it really just looks like a giant sky plopped smack dab in the middle of the blackness that you assume is the actual "sky", or what passes for one here.
Yeah, you're really confused still, so you decide to set about trying to explore the city.
===> (x however many empty panels would, in a more detailed medium, be used to show Zane slowly floating through the broken streets of Prospit)
You wander about the golden city for however long, and you begin to get incredibly lost. You have no idea what's going on here. At all. You also failed in the stealth department, because as soon as any of the white, shiny carapaced people saw you anywhere they would gasp and begin to clamor with each other. Despite your best efforts to stay hidden, you still have a small entourage where ever you go. None of them seem inclined to leave their buildings though, you can't figure out why.
...
Actually, that big blue thing in the sky seems to be getting uncomfortably close. Is it going to slam into the city? No, that can't be it, everyone'd be a lot more panicked if something THAT BIG were about to slam into the city, wouldn't they?
>PAST ZANE: Put some graffiti on the town hall.
Aside from that seeming incredibly disrespectful to you, you don't know where such a building would be! Every time you think you've arrived at the grandest building in the city, you see a larger and grander one off in the distance! And that's not even dealing with the nagging suspicion you're beginning to have that the entire place is just one massive building, with all of the little ones out here little more than decorative outcroppings.
>PAST ZANE: Discover "threat" civilians are hiding from.
Wait, what? How would you do that? You've already stated that you're completely clueless.
>ECLIPSE: Begin.
As the Moon of Prospit swings about in its orbit, attached by its mighty chain to the golden city proper, one of the heroes assigned to the care of the alabaster monarchs stares up into the great gaze of Skaia, without solid stone and metal around him, he will be at the full mercy of the powerful visions and forces at play. He will be completely vulnerable to any nefarious forces that may wish him harm.
>{S}
Zane immediately finds himself pelted by a variety visions of the potentially prophetic kind. He watches a number of events unfold before him, the full extent of which can't really be put together here, as it would be difficult to detail what would be in the Flash proper, however, I shall describe a few of the more important bits and pieces.
Zane sees scatterings of different events, he sees a coup and a black figure rising up from the ash of a burning kingdom, he sees a grand chessboard and a game interrupted, he sees a tall, pale couple without features on their faces, jumping from places to place in flashes of red and green. He sees himself laid bare on the ground, dead. He sees flashes of burning clouds and raining meteors, he sees a desolate wasteland...
He sees himself in a room, playing games with Erin, with a slow pan outwards, as fiery death approaches the great pillar that the two are currently in. He sees a cataclysmic destroyer chasing a figure in red through a massive world of darkness devoid of anything but the writhing tentacles of the horror terrors. He sees two circles of great lights, a large circle of green dots, a smaller one of red lights, and in the center, a great blue glow. He sees a cackling figure shrouded in darkness and purple lightning. He sees the beginnings of SOMETHING BAD. He sees... a friend. Not Erin though... Coming closer, wearing the same garb as hi-
Zane suddenly finds himself waking back up on the floor of his own room.

OW, yes, yup the headache is back. AAAALLL the back. ***** your head hurts a lot.
Probably because you knocked yourself out via head-wall collisions.
>PAST ZANE: Make even less sense of what just happened.
YOUR HEAD HURTS TOO MUCH TO MAKE MUCH SENSE OF ANYTHING.
>PAST ZANE: Write down visions.
Argh, no, your head hurts too much. Also, you're being pestered by some of your chums. You have no idea what any of those things mean though. It was a pretty strange dream.

As a note, you guys can try to be other characters as you desire. The only reason I kept you from being the mailman is because he literally has no point to this story. >PAST ZANE: Close your eyes, it'll help with the headache.You close your eyes tightly, the reduction of light coming in helps your headache somewhat. Not a lot, but even a little bit helps at this point. >PAST ZANE: Think of calming thoughts, like the sound of the ocean's waves.
You start thinking calming thoughts... like the sound of ocean waves... No, wait, that sound's just your throbbing headache again. Why on earth did you think it would be a good idea to smash your face into the wall? >PAST ZANE: step in a bucket.
You walk forward and... WHAT THE EOAINOGINSLKNSGLdgf ===>You faceplant solidly onto the ground. Your headache is now worse. WHY IS THERE A BUCKET IN YOUR ROOM IN THE FIRST PLACE? No, seriously. This wasn't in here before, and you're pretty sure your dad is still downstairs reading the morning news. How the heck did this get in here? >PAST ZANE: Remove obstacle.You groan and captchalogue the errant bucket. Right now you have other things you need to do, so you'll go put it in a better place later. >PAST ZANE: Speak to chums to tell them you have a headache.Ugh... You stand up and sit at your computer massaging your temples. Bluh, the gears of friendship turn ceaselessly yadda yadda yadda. Oh, it's Erin and Cassie.

Looks like you get to wait until Erin comes back online before you can do anything. Your computer's all booted up on that lovely logging screen, but now you don't have a server player. Ugh, you think you're just gonna see what Cassie wants and then wait for Erin's internet to come back. -- falconsGrace [FG] began pestering omnipotentAspirant [OA] -- FG: Yoohoo!

OA: Between my headache and Erin's patchy internet connection we're still just a little bit short of available gaming. FG: Oh dear. FG: Well, at least we all have our copies of the game. FG: Shouldn't be too much longer now. OA: Yeah, I guess. OA: I'm gonna go lie down until Erin comes back. FG: Oh, that's fair enough.

You turn your head, yup. It finished, and connected apparently. It's sort of staring there confused as to why the connection process suddenly cut short and now it's just looping the same 5 frames of loading screen.
>PAST ZANE: Wait for headache to blow over.
Indeed. That is EXACTLY what you plan to do. Now please go away.
>PAST ZANE: Be ERIN.
You are now Erin Felsath. What will this young lady do next?
>PAST ERIN: Pester Zane.
Sadly, you cannot do this, as your power has gone out! It keeps doing that intermittently, something has been sending power surges through the electrical grid on your side of the city for several days now and no one is certain where it's coming from. Looks like you'll have to go reset the circuit breakers again before you can get anything done, and you should probably hurry at least a little bit, considering the particular game that is afoot.

>PAST ERIN: Examine surroundings.
You look around your room, thanks to the sunlight filtering in, your room has not gotten significantly darker with the absence of artificial lighting. It is a nice day, birds are singing, flowers are blooming... On days like these, kids like you are running on a VERY strict time limit. But you suppose you've probably got time to fool around. Paradox Space makes allowances for that kind of thing, doesn't it? You suppose you've got time to give your room the cursory once over.
===>
You look around your room, it is completely full with all manner of nerdy and geeky memorabilia. Although, first, you should probably focus on the furniture in your room. You have your bed next to the window, because sometimes you like to just gaze out into the sky, or watch people walk along the street. You also have your dresser next to your bed (with a laundry hamper next to that) and a nightstand down at the foot of your bed with a Mario Question Block lamp on it. You also have your own personal gaming computer on your desk at the far side of the room.
===>
Everything else in your room, across your shelves, posters and various figurines screams your love for nerdy media in almost all it's forms. You possess a number of pieces of Undertale, Nintendo and What Pumpkin merchandise, although various other things such as your various Minecraft Lego sets (which always seemed kind of dumb to you, but you accepted the gifts graciously anyways) a number of different Anime spreads, the entire series of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Mistborn, Fablehaven AND every single Rick Riordan book you could get your hands on. You also have a number of cosplaying props all stacked up in your closet, from your airbender staff to your homemade Green Sun Streetsweeper to your pair of Miku Leeks.
===>
A pile of numerous boxes lie in the corner. You don't know what all of them contain just yet, but so far they've all been pretty sweet, either in terms of awesomeness or emotional value. It's pretty much been the best birthday ever, and that's saying something. It's really too bad that the world's most likely slated to end today.
>PAST ERIN: Examine FETCH MODUS.
Ah yes, your FETCH MODUS. One of your many birthday desires was a set of fetch modii exactly the same as the ones used by Jade Harley, and one of your pesterchum buddies bought you the set! Right now you're using the pictionary modus, as your propensity for drawing fanart has led you to be quite handy with this. As such, all the other fetch modus cards are in your sylladex until you find a better use for them.
>PAST ERIN: Examine STRIFE PORTFOLIO.
Ah yes, you use CROSSBOWkind as your own strife specibus. Although your real crossbow is currently downstairs in the storage room, as it is rather dangerous to carry REAL WEAPONS around the house, you have a handful of different Nerf crossbows just in case. Including the sweet Rebelle one that you never managed to get your hands on before today. Thanks Cass!
>PAST ERIN: Locate a BATTERY-POWERED COMPUTER.
Sadly due to an... INCIDENT earlier this week, your laptop is no longer in working condition, and your older brother had to take his with him to work today.
>PAST ERIN: Reset Breakers.
Yeah, you should probably go do that, shouldn't you? You grab your trusty SONIC SCREWDRIVER flashlight, and move into the darker halls of the interior of your house.
===> (x however many times it takes. I do not want to waste time describing her house in detail, details shall be provided when it is relevant.)
There we are... Let there be light.
"That's... God. I'm quoting God."

Apologies for not forwarding the plot any today, I am not feeling particularly well, and am waiting until tomorrow to do PA's commands or any others that lead directly forwards in the plot. So instead we're going with the commands I could think of ways to turn into needlessly pointless antics. (sorry RW)
>PAST ERIN: First, be the Wheatley, Second, fetch Companion Cube.
You cannot be WHEATLEY as you are not a MORON. But you decaptchalogue your COMPANION CUBE plush anyways.
>PAST MASON: REVEAL NOTHING!
PAST MASON is too busy finishing up an essay for school in his downtime to respond to you! Man, being in the AP Program sure is hard work... Wait, crap! He wasn't supposed to reveal anything! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
>PAST ERIN: Be Past Cassie.
You cannot be PAST CASSIE because PAST CASSIE is at present trying to dissuade her father from rearranging the furniture at the frantic pace he is currently doing so. He does this when he gets agitated and it always makes it difficult to focus, as such you are having too much difficulty with focusing to not be Erin.
