For her 21st birthday, Rǣlia (known to her friends as "Really") decided to organize a celebratory nighttime gathering at Multiversal City theme park. The evening, attended by a dozen or so of the aforementioned friends, included an expansive dinner and mixed drinks, and then more mixing of drinks, and had been perfectly festive and joyous right up until she'd snatched a random bongo drum (from a couch shaped like a boat) and announced that she wanted to start a drum circle. Suddenly, all of her laughing friends were nowhere to be found…

Selene, aboard her spaceship, riding the hyperspace zipline…

Farrah, walking home alone from the only club that still stays open until sunrise, wearing the black ring…

Lilith, listening carefully for the next instruction from the black ring…

Fiola, visiting her favorite species at an otherworldly aquarium…

When Elyria found the black ring, she used it as an escape hatch from her own life, exempting herself from the toils of work & school & embarking on a vacation cruise around the world. She wanted a life worth taking pictures of, like so many others' lives she'd been following online. But after a few months at sea, & stops at more than a dozen tropical destinations, she found herself once again growing just as bored as she'd been at work & at school. She began to feel as if the very palm trees were mocking her, the rolling tides laughing at the flimsiness of her wishes.

Anya, directing a music video on her first night shoot…

Elisa, trying to figure out just what, exactly, this random street fair is celebrating…

Renata, trying to stay dry after the show, beginning to wonder what's taking her driver so long…

Aannii, drinking coffee, in a teacup, in space…
