((For everyone in Another Session, don't wanna have to tag individually))
A lot had happened in the past day. Between your brush with corruption, seeing that Cade had found his way to the forums and proceeded to share all manner of embarrassing things about you, and poor GT getting violated by horrorterrors just so he could make it to your session and have a chance at living, it really was feeling like reality was cruel and out to get you and your fellow players. You just... you just needed a chance to relax a little and try to forget about all the bullshit. Now would be the perfect time for that beach party you'd all been talking about.
You got there extra early, partially because you wanted to make absolutely sure that someone would be there to greet GT, but mostly just because you felt like the peace and sunshine would do you a lot more good than the gloominess of your own land. You'd alchemized yourself some swim trunks and a beach towel and then made yourself comfortable on the beach FC had picked out for the occasion. It's much less alien than a lot of other lands, and you can almost pretend that you're still back on Earth instead of in this murdergame. You hope some of your coplayers will show up soon; you're still uneasy about being alone.

You're Will Holden and you really just want to scrub your skin off.
You tried doing just that, taking a hot shower (where was the water coming from? Or your electricity? These are questions you stopped asking a long time ago.) You just enjoyed the limitless hot water and spent a good long while crying. At first it was for what you went through, then it was for your surely-dead coplayers, then it was for your dead family, and then it was just because it felt good. Eventually, you turned off the shower and pulled on a pair of blue swim trunks and a hoodie. Apparently there was a beach party and you didn't want to be all mopey your first time meeting the people who welcomed you into your session.
You walked out to the porch and gave a little hop. Feeling a tug in your gut, you took off into the sky. You relished the freedom you were given, and zoomed off towards the other mist-covered planet that alphanumeric (you really need to learn everyone's names, damn) was on. You reached the atmosphere and decided he was probably at his dwelling spire, and headed off that way.

You are Ben, and you want to get off of your Land.
You waited impatiently at his dwelling spire, looking into the mist. "I can't see anything," you mutter under your breath. "Curse this planet. Why did the partially blind guy get the planet that makes seeing even harder?"
After waiting for several minutes, you notice a vague figure descending through the haze. You wave, grasp your trunks, and prepare to fly.

Julie timed in with a small red burst, wearing a conservative orangey one-piece with yellow horizontal stripes, adorned with a few blue stripes on her left just for the sake of visual annoyance. And of course, the red armbands with which she had done that timing in.
"Ah, nice to see you all!" she said, smiling cheerily and letting a few yellow curls shift with a minor shift of pose.

You spot a figure perched at the top of his dwelling spire. You make your way down, swooping in for a landing. Slower... slow down.... SLOW DOWN!
Crash.
You sit up, rubbing the back of your head. "Damn. Flying's harder than I thought." You stand up, trying to choke down your embarrassed blush as the player stares at you with his arms crossed. "Er, I'm Will." You say, holding out your hand to shake his in greeting.

You try very hard not to laugh at the minor dent in your deck as you stretch out your hand. "Hi, I'm Ben," you say "Nice to finally meet you in person!" You smile and ask, "You need a break, or are you ready to head back out?"

"I think I'll be alright." You rub the back of your head. "The positioning is gonna be kind of awkward, but I guess piggy-back is the best way to do this?"
Without another word you hefted him onto you back (when did you get this strong? must be that glitch you read about Void players and their Mangrit) and you flew off towards the land covered in water and beaches.
It was a weird feeling, flying through space and still being able to breath. You could feel yourself leaving the atmosphere, but there was no real difference at all, just slightly colder. As you approached the planet, you didn't encounter any resistance as you flew down.
You looked around for awhile, and eventually spotted a figure in orange. You made a beeline for them. "Brace yourself." He said over his shoulder, then unceremoniously dumped Ben off his back.

"Oh, I guess we're early. Oops." Julie says with a shrug in Mica's direction. "Well, close enough. How's your day been?"
And then come the coplayers!
"Ohey, more people! Good!"

"There's not much of an 'all', yet; I'm the only one here so far," you respond to Julie, sitting up on the towel you'd been splayed out on. "I'm kind of surprised you're the first one here, though I guess you are the Time player. The others are on their way." And will get here soon, you hope. To be honest, Julie makes you very uneasy, second only to WA. You all need to hurry and get the party started before she gets bored and blows something up.
"My day's, um... Well, I guess I've had worse ones. Maybe one or two."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Even though GT only dropped you from only 30 feet up, the fall seems to last forever. Waving your arms and screaming, you proceed to miss the water and land in the sand right between Mica and Julie.
You stand up, brushing the sand off of you, nervously smiling.
"Mind if I drop in?"

Julie shrugs. "Seems a bit late for that! You're already here and all. Join us anyway!"

Ben walks to the nearest fridge, opens the door and grabs an orange drink.
"So where is everyone else?" he asks, plopping down in the sand while popping the cap off of his drink. "It's not just a party of four, is it?"

You're distracted from your moping about corruption and Cade's appearance in the chat as you catch sight of a spot of Void blue approaching in the sky. That must be GT! And he's carrying AN, like he said he would in the chat. You're shocked for a moment when AN makes the last leg of the journey without GT's help, but laugh when you see that he's unharmed. You stand to go help him up. "Nice entrance," you say, returning the smile. Then you turn, looking for the new addition to your session that you'd gotten here early to meet in the first place.

Will chuckled and descended slowly, setting his bare feet in the sand a few feet away. He saw Mica, and some girl he hadn't met yet in an orange swimsuit.
"Er, hello." You say, taking a few steps forward. You look down at the majority of them, being a tall 6'3, but you can't really get a judge on how everyone else measures up, as Mica (at least you think that's Mica) is sitting down.
You run your hands through your thick light brown hair, pushing it up out of your face. You stick your hands in your hoodie's pockets and blink your light blue eyes and yeah you're just describing your appearance now.
"You're Mica, and you're Ben, but I'm afraid I don't know you yet." You say, nodding at the girl in the modest orange swimsuit.

You smile as you see GT alight on the sand--um, wow, he's a lot taller than you expected. Like, almost a foot taller than you. You make your way over to him, hesitating only a second before pulling him into a hug. The two of you need it more than anyone right now, thanks your respective brushes with the Others and their corruption (though you'll admit, he probably needs it more). You pull back and smile up at him. "I'm so glad you made it, even if you had to go through... all of that. It's Will, right?" you ask.
