We're Not in Kansas Any More

Dustin sighs slightly to himself as it becomes more and more apparent that he's not going to get any answers out of these people. At least it seems like they all speak English. But the young lady seems to be on the verge of hysterics. He scratches idly at the back of his head and briefly considers trying to calm her down, but he'd hardly know what to say. He finds himself a spot against a wall and lowers himself into a sitting position, looking around the cave for any clues, or indeed, anything other than six people snatched from their bedrooms.

"What kind of Coyote was I hunting?" thinks Frank. Though normally not supersistious, the stories of his people come to the fore front of his mind.

Looking back into the cave he figures that is just as good a place to start as any to figure out what's going on. "Uh...hello...my name is Frank....Frank Daylish." He is a tall thickly built Indian in his early twenties. "Who are you people and how did we get here?"

Trying to understand all that is going on is a bit much. Isaac is fully awake now and watching people move about. He starts to fully understand that this is not a dream and
is now reality. He thinks to himself,

Wait, I search for a living. why don't I try to see if I can find something in this cave thing we are in.

Isaac, stands up the best he can, his back is a little sore from the rock bed he was sleeping on. He dusts off his pajama's and looks around at everyone.
[sblock]ooc: Could I use search or investigate on the cave to see if I can find something?

Watching the others, April finally realizes they are as confused and disoriented as she. "Where are we? Does anyboby know?" she asks timidly. Her hands are visibly shaking as she slowly makes her way back to the group. "I.... I was watching tv and must have fallen asleep... I don't remember anything else. How can this be possible?!?" Hunched over, she makes her way to the cave opening... "Oh my God... what's wrong with the moon!

Dustin shakes his head at the lady's questions. Her reaction to the moon pin points exactly what it was about the outside view that made him nervous.

"It's probably just a trick of the light or something. You know how the moon can look funny from certain angles, at certain times of the year, that sort of thing. Right?"

He sounds like he's trying to convince himself, too. He looks up at the one who called himself Frank. Then he rises from his seat and looks around at the others, making a brief introduction.

"My name is Dustin Jones, call me DJ . . . I don't know where we are, but it isn't where I was when this night started. If none of you have any answers, then I'm at a loss for how any of us got here."
 

"Well I was hunting about 50 miles north east of Shiprock, New Mexico. I fell asleep in the back of my pickup and then I wake up in this cave with the bunch of you?" says Frank with a confused look on his face. "This isn't some sort of reality TV show is it?"

If it is, there are no signs of cameras anywhere. While the others discuss and ponder, Isaac searches, first in the cave, then moving toward the entrance.

[sblock=Secret for Isaac]The Search check reveals nothing out of place for a cave. Outside the cave, Isaac notices a distinct lack of any signs of civilization, especially relating to tire tracks or other signs of any vehicle that could've transported six unconscious people to a cave.[/sblock]
 

After dusting off his pajamas, Isaac listens to all the talk going on.
"I too fell asleep in my bed last night, I know I only have a couple drinks, but wow, I wasn't expecting to wake up to this. Since we are all in this together so to speak, I will introduce myself. My name is Isaac Stevens."

Isaac stands about 5'9" slender build, typical short blonde hair, blue eyes kind of guy. Upon further examination you might see a light colored goatee.
 

The 5' 10" blond continues to look out the cave at the unfamiliar landscape. "Well this sure as hell isn't LA." She turns back to the nearest person next to her... "Wish I could say 'nice ta meat ya' Issac, but under the circumstances... My name's April, April Jensen and I don't think we're on tv... trust me."

[sblock=secret]OCC: If anyone is from the LA area, especially the cop there may be a chance that they recognise April.[/sblock]

"The name is Bryan... Bryan Davis. Most the people I know call me 'The Gift'," The younger gentleman in his mid-twenties says as he stands up and stretches his back. "But that is usually only at the tables."

"I have no clue where we are, but somethin' can't be right here. I passed out in my apartment in Chicago with only an hour or two before sunrise. Now I am in a desert with someone from New Mexico, and it is still night. This is not cool! I'm definitely feelin' on tilt."

Pulling out the deck of cards from his front pocket, he pulls them out of the box and starts shuffling them, while keeping an eye on the rest of the people in the cave.
