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

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!

Don't we all.

[He grunts, can't really argue with that.]

I'm getting out of here, I don't have time to watch you as well.

You've never heard it said that two heads are better than one?

[He literally growls in frustration.]

Why are you so desperate to stick with me?

[Because he likes having backup, and while he doesn't exactly trust Bucky, he does believe that he doesn't have bad intentions towards him. Because he doesn't know what's going on, but whatever it is, he's sure he doesn't like it. Because he's still feeling that strange mix of sadness and fear that feels like it's coming from outside him. Because he doesn't want to be alone.]

Because it's better strategy than going our separate ways. I'm not suggesting we become bosom friends.

[He grunts in frustration, but finally nods an assent and falls in alongside Alfie. He'll go with him for now, but he won't hesitate to ditch him if necessary.]

You make up with John yet?

[Too blunt. Too sudden. This is what happens when he tries to make conversation while he's walking to distract himself from the fear.]

None of your business.

[He doesn't actually sound angry, though.]

Seen him in here yet?

No.

[He's not really been looking for John, though.]

You're right, it's not my business. Just concerned.

Mm. Have you seen anybody at all?

You're the first.

[He doesn't mention that he spoke to people the other day, he's still trying to (probably fruitlessly) keep that username secret.]

[Well, that sucks. Time for another abrupt subject change.]

How much has John told you?

[He thinks he knows what Alfie is talking about, but the look he gives the other man is level and neutral.]

About what?

You asked if we're getting along now. Clearly he's told you something.

He didn't have to. I was in the same building when you had the argument, I heard enough.

You didn't discuss it after?

We did.

[His answer is clipped, obviously he's not going to betray what John said exactly.]

Feel like sharing, mate?

You first.

Have you made up yet?

Not really, no.

You want to break him?

Not having me as a friend isn't gonna break him.

I know.

But you've made the condition of your friendship something that would break him. All men have a limit. You don't have to like it, or agree with it, but you accept it if you have any respect for him.

If what he said is true, then I do not have a shred of respect for him.

And you'd respect him more if he bent all his morals just to please you?

I would not want him to do it just to please me. No. I'd want him to be a fucking man and realize that he cannot always expect to keep his hands clean, especially considering the line of work he's in.

[He gives Bucky a glance.]

Is now really the time to be having this talk?
