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.]

"Then you shouldn't," Mami answered, gently. She hesitated a moment, before she added clarification. "Maintaining our own happiness... it isn't a selfish act. If we are unhappy, we become distracted -- we become weighed down by that feeling. We have to try, as much as we can, to make sure that we can keep going on. A marriage that you don't believe in will hold you back from what you could become."

"Then what should I do? Should I run away?" Lux looked up, looking unsure. She had tried in the past, but was always found. But perhaps if she had help...

"No, I don't think so," Mami said. "Be firm. Be yourself. When the time comes, you can say no."

Because she might not be able to when she was little. It would be different, when she was older.
