[log] Event: Lavender's Green, Part Two [open]

[snowblindmods]

Characters: everyone
Location: mysterious, white hallways
Date: Day 193-194
Summary: Find friends. Get lost. Don't look.
Warnings: Potential for gore and psychological horror. Please note any specific warnings in your subject lines!

While confusingly similar, the area is split into a few different sections:

The Core
The hallways here are narrow and twist at a rapid rate. With how dazzlingly white everything is, it's easy to not realize you're coming on a turn and slam right into the walls. There are no rooms here--no one starts here, though they may find it while they wander. At the center is a large, round area, like the center of a spiral. There's a lot of air pressure here.

The Inner Hallways
The largest area, filled with dead ends, gentle slopes and twists, and, occasionally, difficult-to-see drops where a higher hallway intersects with a lower one without a wall to separate them. The whole place tastes vaguely like blood. Most rooms are here--most people start here.

The Outer Hallways
The outer ring of the ball of yarn. It's not as thick with halls and twists as the other two areas, leading to a lot more boring walking in one direction. It's totally possible to circle around the same path multiple times without realizing it, as everything is so similar here. Occasionally, footsteps can be heard just outside the farthest walls. Sometimes, something breathes. There are a few rooms here--some people will start here.


Remember to note what kind of eyes your character has in their top level!

glowing eyes

[blueteamproblems]

[Church is wandering the inner hallways aimlessly, not even trying to keep track of where he's going. What's the point? Whoever's running this little game is bound to make sure he'll end up wherever they want him to. He's got no choice in the matter.

He's pausing to cough every now and then, and that's how you're most likely to encounter him. He doesn't seem especially surprised to see someone else and offers only a weary glance of acknowledgement as greeting.]

my eyes are glowier than urs noob get on my level

[phaseshifter]

[ The coughing is indeed what draws Angel in Church's direction. It's quieter here than it was where she started, so it's nice to hear some kind of life. Even if she stubs a toe or two in the process of reaching the noise. Shoot.

When she spots Church, he gets more than a glance. SUPER ANGEL SMILE POWERS: ACTIVATE!!111 ]

Church! Church, over here! It's me!

[blueteamproblems]

Sup.

[He doesn't return the smile, obviously, but there's something that might be vaguely interpreted as friendly in his expression. At least he's not freaking out the way he was earlier?

That's because he is currently internalising the freaking out like a boss]

[phaseshifter]

Oh, don't you sup me. How are you doing? I got pretty concerned when my tablet died, I didn't know if you were still - you know. Have you found anyone else? Or am I the first...?

[ You know that way moms look you over when they're trying to assess how fussy they should get

Yeah

She's doing that ]

[blueteamproblems]

Nobody else so far, but I figured I'd run into someone eventually. Wouldn't be much point otherwise.

[He shrugs, kind of uncomfortable with the concern.]

[phaseshifter]

Point? I - dude. Super real. I promise. Iunno how to prove-- Do the simulations you're used to accurately recreate pain?

[ she's reaching out to pinch his arm before he even answers. FRIENDSHIP. ]

[blueteamproblems]

Uh, yeah. They definitely do.

[How else would they be used for torture, silly!

He swats her hand away.]

Can we just- not talk about that right now?

[phaseshifter]

Okay. Sorry. Oh, is - is your tablet dead too? It's kinda weirding me out not being to contact people with a few button presses.

[ That's a good topic change, right? RIGHT ]

[blueteamproblems]

Yeah, it's dead.

[Which would be annoying as fuck if he wasn't too distracted by how bad everything else is.]

But at least we won't starve right away.

[phaseshifter]

Man, you're even more of a ray of sunshine in person, huh. Always looking on the bright side. I'm sure we won't be left here to starve at all, you doof.

Plus, you know. I assume that before we reach that point, at least some of us will resort to cannibalism out of pure desperation.

[ THERE'S your bright side, Church, geez ]

[blueteamproblems]

I'm calling no dibs on the cannibalism, for the record. Too gross. Plus I'm pretty sure human flesh is not kosher.

[church you have never even kept kosher shut up]

[phaseshifter]

It's not - well, no. I mean. It's human flesh, I wasn't seriously suggesting...

[ someone only knows the slang definition of kosher

what am religion amirite ]

[blueteamproblems]

I know. I was just kidding.

[geez why does no one appreciate his comic genius]

totally prophet eyes OOPS

[majorlazer]

[The first thing Zach hears is the coughing. Which sounds sort of more like it's actually happening close, rather than some banging on the other side of a wall - at least that's what it feels like to him. Like it's more real.

He turns yet another corner, and - well yeah, here it is.]

Church!

[Zach surges forward, almost dropping the backpack he's been holding in his hand.]

You okay?

WELP

[blueteamproblems]

[Church looks up from his coughing and blinks at Zach, not exactly surprised. Running into all his friends here? Sure, why not. Makes sense.]

You know, I've been better.

[What with the sickness and the being trapped in what is totally another fucking simulation and everything.]

But whatever, that's just how it goes.

[majorlazer]

I mean, sure, but...

[Zach crouches, getting to eye level with Church.]

You look super fucking sick, man. You talk to one of the doctors?

[blueteamproblems]

[He rolls his eyes. Like physical health is something he gives a shit about right now.]

It's just a cough. Not a big deal.

[majorlazer]

Yeah, sure, until you hack up a lung.

[Zach rolls his eyes right back. And then, remembers something, his face lighting up. He reaches for his backpack, and... Ah, shit.]

Dammit! I forgot, it's not our normal bags. I had something for you.

[blueteamproblems]

I'm not gonna hack up a fucking lung, it's-

[He cuts off, curious to see what Zach's doing, but then just shrugs when it turns out to be nothing.]

Not like it's real either way, so it doesn't really matter.

[majorlazer]

It does matter!

[Zach's voice goes up in anger, and then he clenches his fists, taking a couple of deep breaths to calm down.

If they all, one by one, start losing hope and start thinking that nothing fucking matters, they'll never make it home.

His voice is a lot calmer when he speaks again.]

I'll give it to you when we're back topside, or wherever. You'll like it. You might even smile, you asshole.

[blueteamproblems]

[Church raises his eyebrows, taken aback by the sudden shouting. It's weird being not being the one getting yelled at instead of yelling at someone else.]

Wow, you're really hyping this thing up, huh? It better be as good as you're making it out to be.

[majorlazer]

I know right? The idea of you smiling, I don't know how I'm gonna cope if you actually do it. I might faint.

[Back to standard levels of assholery. This he can deal with.]

[blueteamproblems]

Oh my god, shut up. I smile when I have a good reason to. Not my fault those have been kind of in short supply lately.

[majorlazer]

You shut up, I'm talking about giving you a present, you should be nice to me. Otherwise I'll keep it to myself.

Talking about presents, how's Cabose doing? [Yes, he still likes to call him Cabose even if he knows that's not his name.]

[blueteamproblems]

His name's Caboose, you know. And he's still the dumbest person alive.
