    ...Out of curiosity, what would happen if one of us didn't choose the Plume? D:

    Plums: Do the plotty thing!

    April 6th, 2012
    Late Night - Dorm



    A light knock rasped the door. Cookiie, puffing out her cheeks, opened the door. A boy around Soap’s age entered past the girl, setting his bags next to the nearest wall.

    Cuttlefish has joined the dormitory!

    Soap moved forward to greet his brother, but time seemed to crash down as Plums’ scream tore through the building. The walls seemed to reverberate with it. Without a second thought, everyone dashed up the stairs, all convening upon the boy’s door.

    Saxima glanced over at Clawtooth. He gave the girl a steady nod. Tossing her violin’s bow to Claw, the pair kicked open the door. Saxima held the violin like a bat, and Claw pointed the bow forward as though it were a wand. Everyone gasped as shadowy tendrils danced around Plums, covering his bed in drippy darkness. The boy’s eyes were open, as blank as the paper Excasr was about to do his homework on.

    “R-r....u....run!†Plums screeched as his body convulsed into the air. The shadows began to cover the walls, the floors -- everything in their pulsating tentacles. You all struggled as you felt yourselves being pulled down into the dark, the light of the world vanishing before your eyes inch by dreadful inch. You closed your eyes as you fell into the abyss.

    The taste of the air forced you to cough. All of you opened your eyes, staring at one another. You had to squint your eyes to see, but all of you were here! With the sole exception of Plums, of course. Fogged danced around your bodies, twisting and turning before you.

    You could see nothing behind you, but in front of you, you could make out what looked like...a road! Grasping each other’s hands, you walked forward into the fog.

    Fog -- Püramiid, Lobby


    You have stumbled into a building in the middle of the fog!

    You are unable to leave the building. It appears locked...
    You decide to talk with each other to try and make sense of what happened. If that’s even possible...​

    "H-holy fu..." Tale gasped, his voice cracking. On the verge of breaking down, he found a wall to lean against and wait for his heart to stop pounding. He felt sick. So sick. He felt bile rising, but swallowed it back with a grimace.

    Holding himself with his arms, he couldn't help but notice how quickly his armpits were dampening. Ugh.

    ...Of all the things to be worrying about, he was thinking of his armpits?!

    He lowered himself to a sitting position; not only were his legs starting to ache, but he felt he needed the stability. "Wh...what's going on?" he whispered almost inaudibly.

    "Do-oes anyone have any idea what just happened??", Claw asked nervously, looking around the group before him ...

    "Like ... uh, what happened with Plums or what those weird shadows were?? And why all this fog and here ... this makes ... no sense to me ..."

    He faded into silence and sat down on the cold floor.

    "How did we even get here?" Haseo asked, looking around at the room. "One moment we're in the dorms, next it's all foggy, and now we're here. There isn't even an exit..." He rested himself against a wall.

    BIU paced back and barely paying attention to the murmers of everyone else. He was confused and tired, his thought process was boring on erratic trying to comperhand on what was going on. First off he was in a strange building after he and everyone else stumbled through fog. How they got there was the main question plaguing his mind.

    "What..." he began. He took off his hat and sunglasses and look around himself before talking again. "What is this place?"

    While it seemed like lots of people were losing their cool, I wasn't. I was leaning on the wall with my arms crossed. Was something this strange normal for me? No. But it was just not like me to display a wide range of emotions. I just kept silent, listening to everyone. I found them all interesting.

    "Oh my God, whathe..." Excasr was too surprised to think in something.
    After some seconds trying to calm down, he asks:

    "Is everyone alright...?"
    *Looks to the thing on the floor*
    "What is that thing...?"

    F-f-fog?! Cookiie tried to remember what happened, but it had all happened so quick that some things were still a blur. She looked around. Just about everyone was in a panicked state.

    "W-where's Plums...? Where...are we ?" she asked hesitantly.

    What held a shocked expression on his face. What in the world was that? Bah, he barely remembered a thing in general, beyond those horrendous shadowy tentacles.
    He glanced around, and it seemed that a handful of the others seemed to be intact around him, albeit a tad shaky and attempting to find their bearings.
    Worry gripped his heart, but he shakily held on to his reasoning.

    "O-okay, are, are all of us alright? We need to be careful, I-I think. We have no idea what this place is and cannot leave, so the- the best would be if we get to our senses just for a moment."

    "Ye-yeah, you're right... Well, I'm okay. And I'm not sure if that thing on the floor is something important...?

    "I ... think, yeah ... we need to stay optomistic and positive about this.", Claw said, looking up form where he was sitting. "I mean, there's a lot of us, so many of us that I'm sure that if we work together we'll be able to find a way out of here ... wherever "Here" is ..."

    He stood up from where he was seated, new hope arisen and shining in his eyes.

    "Is anyone hurt or anything? Did anyone see anything other than what we all saw - that is the shadows and stuff - when Plums screamed? If we can establish the facts leading to getting here, maybe we can figure out how to get out of here!" He smiled brightly and optomistically to the rest of the people in the group, hoping that if they worked together they would make it out alive.

    "Excellent! Ah, all of us, we should uh, we should probably help each other up and what have you!"

    What glanced over to the direction Excasr was pointing.
    That strange object on the ground certainly looked a bit suspicious, and he had never seen anything like it before.

    "Hmm."

    He strode over to the object and glanced directly down at it.

    "Over here, everyone. This object, whatever it is, certainly seems to be suspicious. It is also the only object in this room. Does anyone have any ideas on what it may be, exactly?"

    OOC: Just a suggestion Plums! Nothing very important, but what do you think of you have a character here as well? Then you could easily make us go to the right way, for example, don't getting out of the dorm. :lolface: Or quickly reply us of something like that WEIRDO object which I think it's a teleporter.

    Panic still bubbled and frothed in Tale's stomach. He forced himself to stand, though, and glanced at the object Excasr and What were talking about. It was pretty odd.

    "...I don't have any ideas," he admitted.

    Oh, but aren't I not already a part of it?
    You guys still have to find out what happened to Plums. :lolface:

    You guys will see what I mean when you use the maybe-teleporter.
