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.]

[that's a quiet chuckle.] You still remember that?

[and she's reaching out to clasp hands with you. It's a simple touch, but reassuring all the same.

The buildings slowly fade, until the walls of the cave can be seen again. Well, isn't that curious?]

It was my first day outside Union. It was hard to forget.

[She squeezes your hand then, friend. And as it all fades out, she lets go, rubbing her big tigerdog's neck.]

The same day I met this big lump.

[Lump? Who? Where? Me?!]

[incousinswithyou]

[heh] The hotsprings. It feels like so long ago.

[as if she'd known you longer than that.

The Vaporeon, on the other hand, seems to shiver at the thought of Beedrills.]

[faithfulflame]

Yes, the hot springs.

[Their very first super gay moment of understanding.]

Those red lines never lied. Heh.

[incousinswithyou]

[hey, on the Michiru Kaioh scale, that was only mildly gay

Michiru offers you a smile and then turns to look ahead, a determined glint in her eyes. Faith and friendship, huh?]

[faithfulflame]

[Give her time, Michiru, she's not got a Haruka, just an Ami

Rei simply nods, and away they go!]
