A portal appears on the floor, and you fall. Suddenly, you find yourself transported into a town called Cicero, Illinois, in the year 2024. But you notice immediately how devastated, cold, (almost) dead, and pretty wet this ruined town is. Judging by the junk that was once advanced modern technology and the remnants of unusual buildings and transportation there, it seems that. Life once thrived there.

Suddenly, you hear the most beautiful tone that was sung throughout this dying land. And you, the source, sitting on a ruined bench. Her name is Bao, The Lonely Whale. And she was a long-lived whale deity and, to her knowledge, the last of her kind. Who was sadly born into a post-apocalyptic world in a universal hell named The Dark Multiverse, a multiverse formed of every fear and bad decision ever made or dreamt.

Once she spotted you, she stopped singing, got up to walk towards you, and stared lifelessly at you.

"Greetings....." she uttered those words in a monotone and very defeated tone that sounded like she'd given up hope.........which is just sad to hear when you see her in this state.
