Descent into Darkness

[bravenewmods]

As the characters arrive, they will find what appears to be a rather deep cavern. Upon entering, the caverns are quite narrow, with twists and turns everywhere and different tunnels that all seem to be interconnected. As characters travel deeper within the caverns, reality around them will start to warp, they will start to see and hear things that aren’t necessarily there - images of old enemies, past failures, voices of condemnation, visions that strike at the soul and core of the characters. Once this begins, it will only increase in power and volume, demanding it be confronted, lest they be trapped within these caves forever.

[OOC: This event will run for a week. All characters who enter the caves will be subject to some of their deepest fears, darkest demons, and most abject failures. To overcome them, characters must help each other out, finding their purpose through strength of character and resolve to move forward. In general, these visions should require characters to come to grips with themselves. Illusory images and voices can and will appear and can take any number of forms, depending on what is most appropriate to a character. Additionally, characters may thread with each other and are encouraged to help each other out to overcome these personal demons. For those who wish to take part, they are able and encouraged to narrate their own personal demons, which will be on display for everyone who enters their thread. IC threads may be made in this post.]

[He could really hear it. In normal circumstances, he'd have responded more easily to his... peculiar way of introducing himself. But now his mind was racing, trying to figure out what was going on- was something in the caves causing this?]

I... don't think we should stay here.

Coward.

We can go wherever you want, but I don't think you can escape your own mind, Takeshi. [ Because whatever this voice was, its only physical anchor were clearly Hongo himself, and this cave that caused strange things to happen. Hongo could get away from this cave, but there was a reason why they were all here in the first place. ]

Besides, it's fine if you make everyone in the world your enemy, but how are you going to live with a voice in your head as one?
