If we die, I blame the rest of you.

Don't worry. The voices... the voicesssssssss. *twists head in a circle like an boss owl*

>> ◉ Open the Door​

Commands​

​

You open the door, and motion for the party to enter in the darkness. A few of them take some time to react, looking at the floor and the ceiling and the darkness surrounding them, but eventually you get their attention.​

​

As you enter the strange passageway, the mist begins to throb against your head. It grows thicker and more concrete - the dark substance like a terrible glue that threatens to press against and separate you and your party. It moves around swiftly as a gas and seems to solidify in the air. The voices grow louder and more incomprehensible - but now it is definite that the waterfall-like noise, and the wind you heard before, had in fact been voices. They shoot at your skull with a bullet-like force, and the darkness begins chipping away at your sanity. The mist drags at your legs below. You hear Neku let out a scream.​

​

​

But then something strange happens.​

​

[sound] The incomprehensible yelling begins to turn into a chanting as you move further through the dark passageway.​

​

It almost seems religious in its nature. It gives you a strange sort of energy, but at the same time you feel your consciousness slowly slipping away from your body and becoming more one with the mist. As if you could feel the words of the voices pulsate and stay in rhythm with your heart.​

​

You see a light at the end of the tunnel. Is it a light? The chanting has diminished your senses, and everything to you seems blurry and unreal. It pulsates to the beat of the music. You stumble and trip onto the dark floor. It seems wet and damp, as if made of the churning mist. You blink and the light disappears. You are back in darkness and see nothing, and do not even feel the presence of your party. What happened?​

​

​

Your mind begins to collapse, and the mist seems to be pulling you further into the ground. You cannot feel your body - it is as if your mind is separate from it. You hear banging and ringing around you, thunderous and extremely unsettling in its tones, as you think it must be the sound of your physical form being crushed under the weight of the mist. The chanting grows louder, and eventually it is all that fills your mind.​

​

You black out.​

​

Spoiler

​

And after a while, the chanting dies down.​

♩​

The room is enveloped in a deep hum that emanates from the mist.​

​

You open your eyes, suddenly back in your body.​

You wake up on a hard, black cast-iron floor. Bumpy and uncomfortable. You grimace. But as your vision returns, you realize these bumps are human shapes - not only carved into the ground, but on the ceiling and in the wall. Far off in the distance, past more mist, you see an enormous doorway. ​

​

The mist here is thick, but there are no voices - no chanting. The mist does not want to seem to attack you. It swirls around you with a curious nature. ​

​

You look at your hands. They are stained with blood. Blinking, you turn next to you, and see your party members.​

​

Spoiler

​

You shake the one closest to you, Vivi.​

​

He falls limp onto Misty's lap. They appear to be lifeless shells now. You notice black voids in their chests, dripping blood that you can trace back to your crimson fingertips.​

​

Vivi's jacket is bloodstained and ripped. Misty's scarf is missing. Neku's headset is snapped across its bridge. Krowley is not even here. Where did Krowley go?​

​

... What did you do?​

​

The mist suddenly begins to swirl into a sphere within the middle of the room. You slowly get up, your limbs aching shaking. The spherical mist forms the light you originally saw in the dark passageway. It seems it wants you to follow its presence.​

​

Yet it is really hard for you to do so. You feel alone. Abandoned in the middle of nowhere, where death can await you at any turn, and only this bright beacon to guide you.​

[x] Talk to the hand mist

 

[x] Talk to the mist

The first sign of insanity.

 

Welcome to the club. *VOICES VOICES*

 

Hush you. You're dead.

 

Where is everybody? O_o

 

I'm here, you're dead and everyone else is on Fall Break.

 

I don't have a Fall break. :( because I'm dead

 

(Okay, now that it's not just two people voting I'll update today loool)

 

Yay! BTW, are we still getting pins or are we late? Just saying, it's sort of obvious the prize is a pin.

 

The prize(s) was never a pin. Not even remotely close! And it's...pretty late for the prizes (which I think is why some people stopped posting).

 

REALLY?! *blew my mind* Oh well, I like the story anyways. :)

 

>> ◉ Talk to the Mist

Commands​

Before making any rash decisions, you decide to talk to the mist. You feel a little crazy for it, but you know you've heard various whispers and whimpers from it during your stay here. You take a deep, shaky breath and drag your aching body closer to the strange collection of mist. It does not feel threatening at all. Perhaps it will give you some idea of what has happened?

You swallow hard, your eyes wide with fear and concentration. The mist surrounds you, innocently. Almost playfully.

|| You ||

H-hello...?

Spoiler

"WHY? HELP. CAN ANYONE EVEN HEAR ME? HeLp! WHY?! HELP. NOOOO! NOOOOOOOO! IT HuRtS! IT HURTS. IT HURTS. IT HURTS. IT HURTS. MY MOST PRECIOUS THING WAS TAKEN FROM ME!! MY MOST PRECIOUS THING!! PLEASE SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP PLEASE NO STOP!!!! SAVE ME!"

You stumble back and throw your palms over your ears. The mist thickens and with it's thickening, you hear more voices blend together. All of them mention a precious thing having been taken from them. After a few more moments, you can't bare to listen any more, you just want to noise to end! Were these people trapped here like you...? Are your friends in there? You have to get out of here soon...
