Who: You, perhaps
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 98, Late night

[ A noise splits through the night, waking many of those who were sleeping, alarming many of those that were not. If you go to the window or streets to see what made that racket, you will find there is not much to see at all-- darkness has stolen into the city, stolen away all the power from the street lights, dorm lights, even the glow from your smartphone screens. The air is oppressive with expectation. The noise, the lights out, surely this is the sign there is something more coming? That feeling hangs heavy, palpable.

. . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

And then, you hear it.

A splintering sound, the crack of door hammered in finally giving way. And then, light. A fracture in the air like lightning, vertical and spidering down to the ground that doesn't vanish-- hanging there, light streaming out into the darkness.

....

Approach? ]

Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ You enter the lower levels to a veritable maze, rows and rows of hallways and doorways that stretch beyond, almost as far as the eye can see -

As you reach the end of the hallway with your gaze, the space distorts, twisting and snapping together as if a stretched elastic returning to its shape. No longer does it stretch into infinity; there are hardly enough residents here to warrant the space. The walls and floor do not move with that shift, and there's no physical register to that movement at all, but the sight itself is enough to give you momentary vertigo if you're easily made motion sick.

The rest of the doorways that remain are still plentiful; all told, they could probably fit the number of adventurers, give or take a few rooms. They don't have doors, per se; instead, white sheer cloth hangs from the inside of the doorway, though it's enough to completely obstruct the view of the room's contents.

The ceiling, made of stone, has several slots open - intentionally, evidently, as this is how light enters the barracks. The light that enters is pleasant, warm and bright enough to light everything. ]

W-whoa--

[places his free hand on the wall, blinking rapidly a few times to try to get that... weirdness... out of his head.

after that, he just picks a door at random and pushes the curtain of cloth to one side.]

[ At the very end of the hall, there is a peculiar room. Despite the doorway being covered by nothing but curtains, this room is impenetrable. It's not that you can't pass through it, but - you don't want to pass through it. No, it's like there's nothing there. Was there a doorway? Is there a room?

No, you should go. There's nothing here.

Try another door. ]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[well, there's clearly nothing there.

>try other door]

[ URRRGH

she holds a hand to her head while she gets over the vertigo and takes a moment to look around the area before heading through a random door. ]

[ recoils from the doorway, eyes going wide and- yeah. yeah let's try another door instead. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Uh...

He freezes mid-stride while the vertigo sorts itself out and only starts moving again once he's sure reality seems to be where it... should... be.

Then he's moving to peer into one of the bed chambers. ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ The room itself is bare: one cot sits against the wall, and shelves indent the wall opposing for clothing and personal effects. Well, there aren't any personal effects here though, except for a bloomed flower made of gold, petals wide open. It's clearly a tray of some sort.

An orb covered in silver lattice floats at the center of it, shining brilliantly. ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Haha wow that looks like something that will lead to terrible things if touched.

... Summoning his Heart Weapon and poking at the orb carefully. ]

Anubis. You're - back?

[ What incredible timing. ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[puzzlers]

[ he tries not to immediately fall over, because wow, ok, rude. ]

[ takes a hold of his head and shuts his eyes to try to sort himself out. when he's confident he's alright he'll open them and look around. ]

Oh man...

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ What the fuck, right?? ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[wonderlandgirl]

Ugh...

[Wednesday presses her hand to her mouth. She never has liked that lurch you get when an elevator car stirs into life. That? The same feeling times a hundred, at least.]

Did anyone else feel that?

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[puzzlers]

Yeah, and it was absolutely terrible.

[ he's honestly surprised he didn't topple over. ]

At least there's still some light coming in. Did you... want to check out one of the rooms? [ seems like that's what everybody else is doing. ] We could check the ones at the end?

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[forgottenmercy]

[closes his parasol, closes his eyes for a moment, opens them, and...goes forward, cautiously, carefully looking at the surroundings before he...picks a room.]

[...that is...so strange.

but after a moment, he goes, and...tries to find another room. something that is actually there.]

[Everything is whooooooooa and woozy and wooooooowee, but she comes to eventually and looks around.

She definitely likes this place.]

It's like a labyrinth, wowee.

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[idolpro]

[ Wowee, it really is! ]

Re: Sleeping Quarters

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Wowee, indeed. Remind you of home?

[As he's saying this, Intensity pushes back the curtain to one of the doors and peeks in - careful to stand to one side of the door as he does so]
