You are a terrifying creature from the forest hiding as a human, in the human world, amongst other humans. The problem is: now your human friends find out what you actually are.
“What gave me away?”
“I just checked this book. It says here you are ‘one of the most poisonous muhsrooms that have ever or will ever exist holy God do not touch if you value your life.’ Actual quote there, right next to a picture of a mushroom that looks exactly like you.”
“Oh.”
*mutters* “So much for mushroom stew.”
“What?”
“What?”

Imagine that. You’re Aragorn. You’re Isildur’s heir. You inspire loyalty wherever you go. All who know you love you. Your people will follow you into the gates of hell. You’re a deadly and valiant soldier, yet your hands also have magical healing powers. You save Middle Earth and become a great and beloved king.
You’re own creator still says you’re not good enough for Eowyn

I’ve seen this video going around, and figured I would write a little bit on them.

Marine Evacuation Systems (MES) are pretty cool.
When you are that high up (20-50 meters, sometimes 87m (285ft)) in the air the “chute” method is highly effective compared to the more common “ramp” that you might see on cruise ships (similar to on airplanes), which may also use a mini-chute depending on height.
They are practically the only evacuation method that can evacuate over 700 people in less than thirty minutes, and can handle itself in extreme high winds and even rockier waves.
You only need one person to activate, and from the moment you drop the chute and begin inflation it will only take 60-90 seconds. You can evacuate over 200 people in less than ten minutes.
The rafts will begin inflating and can hold up to, and some exceeding, 700 people. I’ve included some additional photos of what those rafts look like:

It turns out when you die you don’t face your own God, but instead face the God of whomever or whatever killed you.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
I’m.. dead then?
Afraid so.
I was driving too fast, wasn’t I?
Just a bit.
Lost control. Um. what… who are you?
You didn’t lose control, though, did you? You swerved.
I suppose I did.
To avoid something on the road.
Yeah. I guess. Went right into the ditch.
Well, don’t worry about that now. We’ll make sure you’re ok.
You… you will?
Oh, yes. It’s not everyday someone dies to save the life of one of my creatures.
One of your…. oh. I see. That’s what you are. Oh wow.
Well. Let’s start by passing on a thank you. From the one you saved. Who offered up a prayer on your behalf.
Oh. Ok. I didn’t know hedgehogs prayed.
Everything prays. Not every prayer gets heard. Mine do. Come along now. I think you’ll find this… rather pleasent.
