I wasn't really sure what happened. I couldn't seem to find my feet, so I just kinda stared at the blood red sky above me. It took me about, well, I'm not sure how long. I didn't have a watch or anything. But, I think it's safe to assume it was about, 5-10 minutes, maybe?

Hell, do I really even care? No, not really. I sighed and managed to push myself to a sitting position. I looked around curiously and stood up.

Where am I? I didn't really know, in fact I had absolutely no idea, but I saw an odd crystal structure that looked faintly like a building of sorts. I had an odd feeling that I should go to the structure, but a sense of paranoia kept me in place.

After another 5 minutes (?) of debating, I finally fought down my unease and walked toward the building (?). I still wasn't really sure what it was.

The closer I got, the more intimidating it seemed. Not that I was scared of a lump of rock.

After a bit of searching, I finally found the door. (Which I must congratulate whoever built this, for they hid the door very well.)

I shoved open the door and was met with the sight of a large lobby, which, when I stepped inside, contained several corridors that led in multiple directions. I wasn't sure which one I should explore, but one thing solved that decision easily for me.

The main corridor, straight ahead from the door, had voices that could be heard coming from it.

Well, I guess it's an obvious decision now. I thought, walking towards the passage way.

When I got there, I paused at the door and listened to what was being said.

"-got a leader."

"Yeah, I wonder what we'd do without one."

So, they have some kind of leader? I thought, trying to hear as much as I could.

I tried peaking around the corner and got a glimpse of some of them, but quickly hid again to avoid being seen.

It's not like I'm creeping or anything. I just don't know if they're friendly or not, that's all. Nothing creepy about it at all.

Well, apparently when I was backing into cover, I knocked a lose chunk of stone off the wall and they just so happened to hear it. Wonderful luck, right?

So, of course they got all quiet and wanted to see what made the noise.

I freaked out a little, and tried to get out of there, but got miraculously tackled to the ground by someone. Whoever it was had red skin and seemed almost like he was ready for a fight. Some purple guy was with him too, and the others in the room came out when the purple one told them it was okay.

Who did these people think they are?! Tackle me to the ground, will you? I gave the red skinned one a good kick to get him off, before standing up and brushing myself off.

The purple one, (I'll call him Octopus Head, because it looks like someone stapled an octopus to him, hence the name.) apologized for his comrade's actions and asked me who I was.

How could he be so ignorant?! Though, I didn't let him know this upset me and replied as calmly as I could after being flattened that my name was Vector.

He introduced himself as Nash and told me the others' names, but I didn't really listen. I could care less what they're called.

They all went back to the room they'd been in and invited me to join them.

Not having many other options, I joined them.

I also quickly found out that Octopus Head was their leader. Which I suppose was fitting. A leader of a group of losers like them should also be a loser, right?

Their conversation was really boring, so I went about giving them nicknames, since I hadn't bothered learning their real names.

Hey, don't judge me. I'm pretty sure when you were born your first priority wasn't to learn everyone's names. All you probably cared about was playing, eating, and pooping your diapers.

Don't ask me how I know these things about humans, 'cause I'm not really sure myself.

Anyway, the names I came up with were really crappy and unimaginative, but they were supposed to help me remember them, not be creative.

So, I ended up with Kitty Cat for the grey one since he looks like a cat, He She for the yellow one since I've yet to figure out if he's (?) a man or a woman, Monkey Boy for the red skinned one form earlier because he acts like a dumb little primate who would probably fling his excrement at people, Giant Gorilla Freak for the unnaturally buff and tall one, who's also primitive, Princess for the girl, because she's the only girl, unless He She is a girl too, and I've already told you about Octopus Head and my reasoning.

Okay, their nicknames are mean and a little cruel, but it's not like I said them to their faces.

Well, I did kinda say some of them to their faces.

He She hated his (?)

Monkey Boy wasn't too thrilled either.

When I told Princess hers, she didn't seem to mind too much, though Octopus Head hated it.

Let's just say when he found out what I was calling her, it ended with me having a black eye.

Not that he beat me up. He sneaked up on me like a coward, completely and totally not in plain sight.

It turns out the reason he punched me was because since I was calling her 'Princess', he thought I was hitting on her! Can you believe it?! Ew! Why would I want to hit on her? It's freaking ridiculous!

When I first called He She his nickname, he (?) flipped. He also 'kindly' introduced me to his pet, Tachyon.

I nearly died.

I swear that dragon was going to kill me. I mean, how rude is that? Sending your freaking dragon to kill someone?! So much for being comrades!

Plus, the burns hurt for several days.

Also, just to get the record straight, I did not nearly wet myself and I most certainly didn't scream in a ridiculously high pitched voice. Other people might tell you different, but they are liars.

Okay, away from that topic.

Well, Monkey Boy, (I quickly learned his true name to be Alito, due to him constantly getting yelled at) he found out about my nickname for him when he was just being flat out stupid. I couldn't help it, I just had to tell him.

He was genuinely offended, though I didn't care if I hurt his feelings.

Shortly after that whole thing above was over, we were able to go to our rooms for some rest and such.

It sucks. I got the room in between Monk- er, Alito and Mizar (Also known as He She, but Mizar's his really name)

I'm kept up all night by either Alito's snoring, Tachyon's snoring, or both.

I hate my life.

The worst part about that last sentence is I've been alive for less than 24 hours....

So I'm in my room right now writing this and it's a little difficult cause my 'next door neighbors' are both sleeping and snoring unnaturally loud...

Ahem, well I have to go for now. Stupid Octopus Head wants us to have another dumb meeting already.

Let you know more about my 'wonderful' life later....
