5 months ago you landed here after sneaking on moka, and ki's ship, ending up with them in another universe with a yellow sky, a giant tower in the center, and very odd denizens, some were human others were anthropomorphic creatures once human, but now with animal like bodies, ofcourse everything is mostly like your world, you even met mokas doppelganger gran, at a pond on a bench while feeding ducks three days after landing. Things were great, but you were trying to get back home, with moka, and ki. One morning you woke up to a breaking news alert, a British voice talking about something happening at the central tower. You rushed over to there while moka and ki were asleep to see what was going on and when you tried leaving after figuring out this was grans lab, a bat that was like this universes ki blocked the way of you and several other people. Likely those from the news

Florret:"nuh, uh, uh, you won't be leaving, were going to test you to see if your good enough to be useful in his plans. If you can't make it past the first act well then you'll be disposed of, if you do survive ill get gran and he'll use the serum on you who live. What I mean by this is, you're being experiments for grans serum. And youll be like those outside the tower who look like he, and I, and all those anthropomorphic creatures out there. The humans out there dont matter, after all everyone in golden city will end up in your shoes"

she was so smug sounding and it ticked you off, there were two other civilians with you, who you were next to, a Hispanic girl with long messy hair, who is found out as juno, and a black boy who looked like he was fresh out of a workshop tinkering with machines, named Alex, you learned their names by asking and you three stuck together
