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.]

[ Haruka snorts. Far from being "silent", there's a roaring sound behind them. ] Isn't that benevolent.

[ A check ahead of them reveals that the landscape is actually crumbling, falling away into an abyss - so that they're running right towards nothingness. ] D'you think I have to tell you?

[ Or is this just something she has to admit to herself? Haruka isn't sure she likes the idea of self-actualization under duress. What's it want from her? An admission she's dooming everyone? That's not happening. They won't know the future until it comes to pass. Worrying about it until then is just stupid.

....but she's been doing a lot of that worrying, hasn't she. Haruka laughs and rears World Shaking up as the abyss crumbles closer, reaching to keep a hold on Rise's hand. She can't control the future, but she can control the present.

And nothing's happening to Rise - to either of them - if she has anything to say about it. ]
