[network video] @magenta2; ghost adventures [open] late day 204

[himalayanyeti]

[The video opens on a shaky shot of Magenta himself, looking oddly cheery for the situation at hand. In fact, he looks entirely too cheery to be in this place at all, but at least he looks appropriately cold, and his dark hair is full of snow. Evidently, he's just gotten inside.]

Hi! It's Magenta. If you haven't talked to me yet, I've only gotten here...hm, around a week ago? Probably later, maybe. But I didn't turn this damn thing on to introduce myself to all of you!

[With a dramatic flourish, he clumsily turns the tablet around, providing an even shakier view of what looks to be a bed handcuffed to a doorknob. People who have been there before may recognize it as a certain door in a certain firehouse.]

Can anyone tell me what exactly is in here? I'm curious! I saw a few messages on a few walls telling me not to open it, but I want to! Worst comes to worst, I can just hike it up that pole, right?

You read the sign, didn't you? It's an anomaly. Don't do anything fucking stupid.

[himalayanyeti]

I'm not goin' to do anythin' stupid! I'm going to do somethin' for, y'know...um. Observational purposes. I don't know what that word you said means, but I'll take it to mean "monster".

[After a moment, he squints at the tablet, before brightening again.]

Oh, you must be Alfie.

[devoutish]

Yeah.

You're gonna set that thing free, that's what you're gonna do. Leave it shut.

[himalayanyeti]

Okay, but is that really stupid? I mean, maybe it's lonely--God knows I am.

[devoutish]

Find a person, then.

If the signs are right, then it's been in there a long time.
It's probably too weak to do anything.

[himalayanyeti]

ah! yes youre right i think. that would make sense. i dont know anything about this thing but that would make sense

[darkincrement]

You could probably open it long enough to get a peek and close it back up without any issue.
You would be the first to see one weakened.

[himalayanyeti]

ok ok ok i might do that then? i hope its alright in there. sometimes it rattles the door so i gess its alive

I'm sorry

[darkincrement]

It might just be lonely.

[Kunsel knows exactly which door that is. Magenta, no. Magenta, why?]

I can describe the anomaly inside, if you want. Or what it looked like when it crawled out of the mirror and came after me.

I really don't recommend opening the door.

[himalayanyeti]

Ooh, tell me about it! I really just wanna know what's in there.

[deus_ex_phs]

Imagine a human with six insect legs pushed its way out of a mirror, and remained coated in the mirror it came from. That's what we had to deal with there.

[himalayanyeti]

Sounds pretty cool, if I may be frank. I wanna see it. Technically, you can do nothin' to stop me from doin' this.

[deus_ex_phs]

[...

...

...]

No. No, technically I can't. But have you considered what it would be like to die?

When you open it, be sure to broadcast whatever you find to the network.

@Spoiler ; video

[spoileralert]

Death. Open that door and you will die, full stop, end of story.

[himalayanyeti]

I'm very good at not dying. The best at it, really! Very, very good at not dying.

[spoileralert]

No, you're not. It will kill you. 100% guarantee.

[despiteeverything]

Is that the place where they got the anomaly trapped?

[They... haven't actually been to the entrance of town, so they can't be sure. But they've heard of it. Everybody's heard of it.]

[himalayanyeti]

As near as I can tell, yep! That's what the writing on the wall said.
