All Welcome 
Abducted by aliens! Of...some sort.
This thread is a non-canonical bit of insanity brought to you by Camp NaWoWriMo. Reply as you see fit, possibly with the aid of drug-induced hallucinations... mua ha ha haaa.

The surface beneath her was screamingly cold, and slicker and flatter than any sheet of ice. Nynka woke up sprawled on her back and disoriented, the harsh beams from multiple points of light high above dazzling her brain and her eyes further yet. She gnashed her teeth and flailed ineptly about, but her limbs seemed to be made of rubber and did not quite want to respond in the usual way; all Nynka could do was let out a thin little wail quite unlike her usual self and try to blink away the confusingly multiplicative suns' glare as the large, attentuated shadows huddled in a loose circle around her upraised cold smooth metallic prison slowly came into better focus.

What the hell?! Where was she, and how had she gotten here?! Nynka was bewildered, but at least the lassitude seemed to be draining away from her limbs as she wobbled there even if the sunspots seemed determined to stick around and mar her vision. She thrashed determinedly harder, and then as one of the figures reached a weirdly-formed long blue paw out to touch her Nynka snaked her neck out to meet its outstretched toe. Snap! Such was the weird numbness of her state of being and her disorientation that Nynka wasn't sure if she'd caught the thing a direct hit or merely a glancing blow, but either way it yanked back with a shriek. Nynka roiled about like a beached fish until suddenly she hit the edge of the metal cliff and went hurtling down to the equally cold floor below with a loud, solid THONK. Now all the creatures were waving about in agitation and screeching madly, but Nynka didn't stick around to wait. She rolled sideways, got her feet beneath her, and scurried off just as fast as she ever in her life had, her heart pounding fit to burst right through her chest. There was a big stony rectangle that was trying to block the exit through which a bit of flowing air teasingly tickled at her whiskers, but it wasn't quite fit into the smooth-edged cave's door right and so it was only the work of a moment for Nynka to wriggle her way through, out into freedom!

She scuttled quickly along one wall, still half-blinded, and then pulled up short, blinking madly. The high-up array of lights directly before her reminded her of stars as they twinkled there, but in a weirdly rainbow array of colors. Also, they blinked on and off in a bizarre, businesslike fashion that Nynka had never before seen stars do... and some of them were perfectly square. What insane alien landscape had she been transported to, here, where even the stars weren't proper stars?! She had to escape. Nynka jumped as one blinky square of green starlight let out a sudden loud BREEP-eep, reminding her of her own bleepy-box back home. Were these alien creatures the same ones who had brought the bleepy-box to her? She had to wonder—but that wondering must be saved for another time. Right now, far worse than anything else, she wanted OUT— so Nynka spun on her tail and scuttled down the next branching of the strange smooth-edged labyrinth of caverns, giving the reflecting glow of the blinky boxy lights on the far wall only a cursory glance before she kept moving along.
