You collapse in your bathroom, the ceiling spinning counter-clockwise as your head hits the floor and you see up through the ceiling, through the rain and the clouds and up into space — so, this is one of those weird out-of-body experiences — there, laid out before you is the vast wonder of SPACE! (Yes, it is capitalized, and does have an exclamation-mark.)
So there you were, hanging in the middle of SPACE! and you could see the wonderful symphony of the universe, the nebulae flowing, the planets spinning even as they completed the circuits of their orbits: the Music of the Spheres lay before your very eyes… and here you are looking down at your belly, trying to find that fabled "silver cord" which was to connect you to your body in experiences such as these.
It wasn't there.
As you are filled with the dreadful certainty that you'll never be able to find your body, you start to fly away, at many times the speed of light — the entire galaxy rushing by in an instant — impossible, you think, before remembering that souls don't have mass.
Flying along, you see yourself falling towards a planet and you wonder what sort of place this could be. (Note: These [Setting-Attribute] aren't crossover options; they're more "what I'd like to see"-isms / as such you can select as many as you would like.)
[][Setting-Attribute] History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi (I want Martial Arts.)
[][Setting-Attribute] Naruto (No, Battle-mages!)
[][Setting-Attribute] Ranma ½ (C'mon, a love-Tessarect.)
[][Setting-Attribute] Space-Chicken (No, not this.)
[][Setting-Attribute] Starship Troopers. (Would you like to know more?)
[][Setting-Attribute] Warhammer 40,000 (Grimdarkness!)
[][Setting-Attribute] Wonder-Cow (Nope, not these.)

You awake with a gasp, eyes darting about as you take in the room around you. It's utterly unfamiliar, and the furnishings seem to be somewhat sparse: there's a night-stand/end-table thing, what appears to be a chest of drawers, and a desk. Your eyes dart around, looking for more, but you can't really find much more information from your surroundings.
Well, it looks like you're just going to have to explore. Taking a big breath and screwing up your courage, you inhale some dust triggering a sneeze which you reflexively catch with you hand, poking yourself in the eye with the middle finger.
[][Age-Gender] You wipe it on the wall. (Pretty young kid; random gender.)
[][Age-Gender] You wipe it on your pants. (Boy, about 10.)
[][Age-Gender] You look around for something to wipe it properly. (Girl, about 11.)
[][Age-Gender] You lick it off. (Weird kid; random age, random gender.)
Having taken care of the issue, with or without tissue, it looks like it's time to head out and explore!
Outside the room you woke up in there's what appears to be a single other room in the cottage — a combination kitchen, living-room, study sort of room. Atop the table is a book, which you leaf through, the contents are…
[][CharacterAttribute] poetry, a lot of poetry. (Charisma bonus.)
[][CharacterAttribute] Mathematics. (Intelligence bonus.)
[][CharacterAttribute] Kittens. (Extra KP/turn)
[][CharacterAttribute] magic, at least that's what you think these strange diagrams are. (???)
[][CharacterAttribute] religious in nature. (Bonus to interactions with local religious sect… maybe.)
[][CharacterAttribute] blank. (Bonus to lore recording.)
[][CharacterAttribute] a ledger containing information on accounts. (Bonus money.)

This quest will have several types of points which may be earned, and spent.
RANDOM POINTS — These may be spent by including it in any plan, and it will increase the randomness. Maybe even earning you a roll on a random-event table, or maybe I'll just include something random in the next update... True to nature they are awarded at random.
KITTEN POINTS — These are awarded once, and only once, for the first cat picture that is posted after an update. (ie, only the first person gets the point.)
Current points.
Alrighty, we're open for business.
Anyone want to come aboard this particular crazy-train?
