'Welcome to Nexus Crossing!'
It is a beautiful day in the small town of Nexus Crossing. The air is crisp, cleaner than most people experience in their entire life. Inhaling is like tasting the sweetest mountain air, exhaling brings all those chemicals in your lungs out. It's actually rather exhausting to continue breathing, as the very environment tries it's damnedest to purge impurities from the bodies of those within the town. The river that flows through town is clear, and teeming with life. The songs of birds mingle in the blue skies, and the sun showers warmth everything it sees. The comfortable smells of baked bread, the comforts of home, only work to sweeten the feel of the place.
That doesn't stop it from being completely wrong, however. No amount of beauty in the world could shake the feeling that something is off: there's no one here, save a few others... and they don't know how they got here, either. Details about life outside have to be really thought about to bring them to mind, and the chilling thought that this is some sort of afterlife is hard to shake. It's too real, it's too clean, it's too beautiful.
Then, there's the animals. Save for the fish, the creatures in town seem to be a lot more perceptive. Cats turn their heads to look upon visitors, and smirk in a way that only the truest of cats can. Dogs seem excited to meet someone, until the look on their face changes and they run away. The song of birds falter for just a second when people get closer.
Modern shoes walk on cobblestone and well-packed dirt, with the smell and look of a storm looming closer to the town. Despite the unease that seems to radiate off the 'perfect' town, it's probably the safest place to wait out the coming storm...
