Around Fandom, Friday Morning

The island had seen the cycle of universe's end six times now. It was starting to get a little unnerved by the process. It needed something... nicer. Sweeter. Less likely to give anyone alcohol poisoning.

So it was that, on Friday morning and without fanfare - its thunder stolen by the impressive explosions outside the Restaurant's dome - the island simply blinked away. It reappeared with equal lack of fuss, hovering in the sky above a large planet, part-green, part-grey. It stayed there for a few moments, before drifting neatly downwards, nestling itself neatly in a small lake in the middle of an enormous forest.

It seemed unaware of the large conglomeration of nervous, bipedal forest creatures that assembled underneath its shadow before it settled-- creatures who were now eyeing the island with confusion from across the lake.

Welcome to Mobius, Fandom. Don't upset the locals.

The causeway is functioning as a bridge again, stretching across the lake and ending in a small field of grass on the other side. It seems peaceful, large trees swaying in the breeze around the grass, beautiful flowers everywhere.

At the end of the field stands a particularly huge tree. If you're early enough, you can watch a series of bipedal animals making their way to it, tugging on a large vine - and opening up a cavernous hole.

On the other side of that hole is a slide.

And on the other side of that slide is a village.

The locals will be mildly perturbed to see you - at least until they can tell that you aren't robots. At that point, well, there's a local restaurant, and the people, their homes built into the large trees that dot the village, are friendly.

If furry.

Very, very furry.

Far off into the distance, you can see the skyline of a major city. It seems dark and foreboding, and each building is made of blackened steel.

You could go there, if you like. But why would you want to? Nothing lives in Robotropolis but deadly, mindless robots, and the remains of locals whose flesh was turned to steel.

And Robotnik, of course. But you certainly won't meet him.
