[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!

Prophet Eyes, outer halls (cw: blood)

[definingfuture]

[The calling gets Tony's attention. It's unnerving not to have the tablets to talk through and be lost in the empty halls, and Tony is drawn to the sign of life. At least he knows there is someone else out there. He moves toward the sound, approaching cautiously as he feels he gets closer. It's hard to tell if he really is, but when he gets to a turn, he calls back.]

Hello?

Coin says no killing urges

[swatsflies]

[ He perks up upon hearing someone call. It didn't sound like anyone he could immediately place. ]

Yo! Are you actually a person? [ Or another hallucination? Instead of waiting around for an answer, Zell starts heading towards that direction of the voice. Seeing is believing and all of that. ]

nice chat it is!

[definingfuture]

I'm an actual person. Are you?

[It's a silly question considering Zell wouldn't be asking if he weren't real himself, but Tony returns the call with a dumb question because it makes him feel better. And he follows the sound of the voice until he hears footsteps along with it. And then there is an actual human being standing down one of the hallways.]

Oh, thank God. I was getting tired of walking.

[swatsflies]

I think so. [ A pause. ] Unless this is another one of those crazy dreams.

[ He is a can of existential issues mostly thanks to this place. Thanks Snobama. ]

The only way to tell for sure is waiting until this shit stops. [ He can only offer a shrug, but gradually smiling. It's an actual person. ]

[definingfuture]

It might be a crazy dream. It feels a little like one.

But if it were a crazy dream, I could call my armor.

[Because that's dream logic, right? Come on. He knows this has to be how it works.]

[swatsflies]

Your armor? Are you a kind of knight or something?

[ He doesn't really look the part. ]

I think it's Winter's dream. Or maybe Andromeda? [ Waving his hand behind him. ] The rooms looked like the one Winter showed us.

[definingfuture]

[A knight or something. Or something is a good way to put it.]

Yeah, kind of. I guess you could say that.

[He actually likes that idea. Thank you, Zell!]

Winter's dream... Now that's a thought, isn't it? Maybe it is.

[swatsflies]

You're like Al, then.

[ He's going to beam brightly as he says that. Al is a good friend who is pretty badass in Zell's book. Which means Tony is pretty alright. ]

Not sure if you were around for it, but we were pulled into dreams in the past. [ He doesn't even wait to hear a confirmation. Just going to launch into explaining it! Holding up a single finger. ] First we were in each others dreams. I was in Jim's dream, then he was in mine. After that, we were pulled into the town's dream. [ Now he's holding up two fingers. ]

[definingfuture]

Is Al a knight? I guess maybe I am.

[Sort of. It's a thought, anyway.]

Shared dreams? No, I wasn't around for that. So they can show us thoughts. That does make a little more sense. We're all linked.

[swatsflies]

He might be with that armor and his fighting skills. [ Not to mention how he always wants to save everyone! ] Not sure if they have actual knights in his world. His brother is part of the military, but doesn't really seem like a knight. [ Sorry Ed. ]

The nano machines, right? [ A pause. ] You think this place recycles them? Reuses the same one for every group that comes through here?

[definingfuture]

I've always thought being a knight wasn't quite the same as being a soldier. Maybe from a functional standpoint they are alike, but knights always seemed more...

[Tony trails off with a hum that is more like a breath. He can't find a word that won't sound too romantic or foolish, so he just lets the whole thing drop.]

I think it's possible. Some information must be repeated. The basic steps have to get used in every session, but there are probably variations to fit each group's progress.
