◣ IMPORTANT ◢
◣ Vatheon Information ◢

You have been brought to a place called Vatheon. You cannot return to your home of your own free will. This brochure has important information so please read it in its entirety.

With that unpleasantness out of the way, welcome to Vatheon.

You are not alone here. Many different individuals have been brought here from their own worlds and times. None of us chose to be here, and none of us (for now) will be able to chose when we leave. No one knows what makes a person stay as long as they do in Vatheon, with some only being here a month, some staying for years, and some even being returned here. If you are worried about events happening back in your world, please read this: time does not pass in Vatheon the same as your world. You will be returned to the exact state and time you were taken from and remember Vatheon not at all. Others can vouch for this.

Please try to keep an open mind during your stay in Vatheon. Many different beings have been brought here and thus there are different cultures. Also keep in mind that something that is true for your world might be different for another world. (Ex. In quite a few human cultures, angels are apparently divine holy beings which do good. In Alternian culture, they are horrifying demonic creatures which herald destruction.) It is vital that we all work together.

The reason for this is because we are part of an experiment run by a group of scientists. It is due to their actions that strange events occur which we foreigners refer to as "curses". If you find your thoughts being projected in a small bubble which follows you around, possessing animal-like parts such as a tail or wings, or in the body of someone else, then you have a curse to blame. They came in a variety of different forms, much beyond what was just listed. Not everyone is always affected by a curse.

No one has been able to directly interact with the scientists although we have found an abandoned research lab on the island which is accessible via the elevator. If you wish to go over any of the information that was found there, then please take a look at the information database that has been established. While we have not been able to directly interact with the scientists, their presence is still apparent in Vatheon as they run the medical clinic. Please show utmost respect to the Head Nurse, as she can make your life difficult and is in a position of power over all of us. Do not trust any of the nurses who work there.

Please be aware of a vital fact of life in Vatheon: death is not permanent here. Besides accessing different worlds, Vatheon can also pull in individuals from different timelines. You may see someone from your world who you believed to be dead, but Vatheon pulled them before that event ever happened. If you die in Vatheon, you will also be brought back to life courtesy of our esteemed nurses. Be warned- if you cause the death of another or die yourself, then you will be punished for a short amount of time. The last person to test this was rendered temporarily blind.

Now that you have been told of the most important facts of Vatheon, here are answers to the more mundane solutions. If you need any assistance at all, please do not be afraid to contact any other foreigners.

On the first of each month, a festival is held with food and entertainment. It also has a number of booths, including the booth for the Welcoming Committee if you have more questions.

Upon arrival, you will be in possession of a device known as a Starfish Communicator, or SFC for short. You can use this to communicate with the rest of Vatheon via text, video, or audio. They are also being monitored by the scientists, as all things in Vatheon are.

Please do not attempt to damage the coral, for doing so has unpredictable and dangerous consequences. It is responsible for our wellbeing and the barrier surrounding the city. There is also a barrier surrounding the island, so there is no escape. There are also dangerous creatures in the deeper water, so please be careful.

Everything in Vatheon is free except for items in the Nostalgia Quarter, which sells goods from our own worlds. Housing is also free, and locals will assist you if you require locating one.

Hacked Information from Island Labs (vatheon)

Over in Vatheon, Darkleer is hacking into computers that were left on the island and revealed after another invasion event. This is what he was able to get so far with Roxy Lalonde and (later) Tifa Lockehart.

5 ♐ Action to the Helmsman ♐ Just keep swimming

[Today has been the third day of physical therapy, but the first where Darkleer coaxed the Helmsman into the water. The weightlessness, he figured, would help ease the transition from floating to actually walking. ]

[He also likes to think he's made two good choices so far in this venture. The first is that their sessions have been taking place up on the island, where they are guaranteed some measure of privacy. The second is ignoring the small comments the Helmsman has been making which would sound suspiciously like complaining if they both weren't pretending so hard.]

[As the elevator takes them back down into Vatheon, he drapes a towel over the psionic's shoulders.]

You're making good progress.

This is Darkleer.

If the name is unfamiliar, hang up now so that neither of us waste our time.

If the matter is truly pressing, leave a message and I will attempt to return to you as soon as possible.
