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.]

[Yuuna starts forward when she notices something is off, hand extended...but her steps falter when she realizes what's going on. Arms folded, she waits, eyes focused and alert.

And when it's done? The Master of Evolution in her beams.]

You evolved, dear. You're a Doublade now.

[Saber nods and, with a surprisingly practiced motion, sheathes...herself.]

I see. Having an extra body is a bit bizarre, but it's to be expected when I've been training.

[rainsrespite]

I can imagine.

[That together with the cave is just...weird.]

Is it still fencing if you're swinging an actual part of yourself? Or is it body slamming?

[ofpromisedvictory]

Technically I think it's a Tackle...

[She jokes, but it will actually be easier to fight this way in her human form and not have to Shift every time.]

We should move on. If I try to think about how this matches up with this vision I'll likely get a headache.

[rainsrespite]

Yeah. Let's get out of here.

[...fuck magic caves.]
