envy baby, kanaria

You were somewhat startled, to say the least, when you awoke in an unfamiliar field, your eyes dazzling at the sight of the night sky. Stars dangled above your eyes like glimmering jewels, and a full moon sat just above you, shining down onto you. You blinked a few times, your eyes still adjusting to the sight, your hair sprawled across the damp grass.

'Well, obviously I'm not in Colorado. But...where actually am I? This isn't where I usually start off.'

You pursed your lips. 'Not to mention, the year is nineteen-ninety-nine (1999). Vento Aureo takes place in two-thousand-one (2001), right? That's so weird...'
