[Sometime during the middle of the day, a text was sent out]

Uuuuuuuugh.
Someone mind explaining where the hell I am? This is kind of dum8.
I mean, who takes someone a8out to die and puts them on a weird island like this? Laaaaaaaame.
Ugh and I need to clean up. Some8ody point me to an a8ulation trap or 8athtu8 or whatever you call it. This red shit is gross.

My mistake.

Getting you a room would take too long, you can wash off in mine. You'll probably stay at the dorms anyway, given your age.

Oh come on. I am six sweeps. It's not like I'm really young!

Young enough that I have no idea if they even would give you a room without an adult.

Uuuuuuuugh, this place is stupid. Fine, fine, show me to your room or whatever it is in this communal hive.

[Tl;dr Issei's room has a bathroom with a shower, like many hotel rooms do.]

Here's a change of clothes if you need them. I'll wait out here.

[Click. Vriska really wanted that crap off. And thus she took a nice long, hot shower that was not long in no way because she was still sore and moving slowly, nope. But she soon finished the shower, started to dry off, looked in the mirror and shrieked-]

WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY HORNS?

Oh. Right. You're human. My apologies.

[A half-naked Vriska is now glaring at you around the door, Issei]

What the fuck are you talking about? Where are my horns? Why is my skin this pink color? And look at my hands! I can't rip anything apart with these weak claws.

I'm telling you that this place makes everyone it brings here human. No horns, no strange skin colors, no claws.

And get dressed before you come out of there!

[Vriska slammed the door, and opened it a few moments later, completely dressed and completely annoyed]

Explain everything.

You're in Prospero. United States of America, Earth. We have no idea what power keeps taking people from their home worlds and bringing them here, taking away their powers in the process. We're relatively sure it has to do with the monsters - Shadows - that appear every night after midnight. For half a year now we've been making slow progress on figuring this out.

Are you following that?

Monsters, weird world, taken from Alternia or whatever place Sgrub took place- wait. My powers are gone? [Oh, she doesn't look happy]

Whatever they were, they're gone.

[Annoyed little girl, whatever.]

[Vriska looked at him, silently, her hand coming to her head as her face started to contort in concentration]

Oh gogdamnit!

You're going to give yourself a headache like that.

Fine. Let's say I believe you. So how the hell are you supposed to kill these monsters?

There is one power we gain upon coming here. The ability to summon a being at will. Here, it'd be easier to show you. Jikokuten.

[Hey, that bigass warrior dude was definitely not there before. He doesn't stick around too long, though.]

[Vriska scooted back, eyes wide and... in awe] How did you do that? How can I do that? That was cool!

It's a Persona - that is, something that all of the people who've been brought here gain the ability to call upon. Unfortunately I don't have good advice for getting yours, since the standard method is 'nearly get killed and have to be rescued by yours'. But you'll acquire one of your own, don't worry.

[He's a little worried, though. She's rude, but still young.]

[And her arms crossed]

Fine. Then I should get that done soon, since I can't use my powers here. Did you have your strife specibus when you got here?

Strife specibus?

[At least one of those is a word.]

Yeah! What you fight with? [For once, she let her voice say the "duuuuuuuuh"]

Ah. I fought barehanded for my first few months, so no weapons. I have a sword now, but I'm not a master in the art by any means.

[Vriska grumbled] So my ancestor's strife specibus might be lost. Greeeeeeeeat.
