[ If you had paid visit before, you might notice that where you start seems fairly familiar. But since most of you haven't… the first thing you'll notice is red. Dark red all around you. The sky, the ground—everything is red. It's impossible to make out anything among the color. But if you attempt to stare at any particular space for too long, you'll discover it pulses, flows.

And then there is a laugh that you are probably very acquainted with by now, only this time it’s LOUDER, wracking inside your skull. ]

FOOLISH WORMS! THIS IS MY DOMAIN NOW. YOU SHALL ALL PERISH. TORN ASUNDER. NOTHING LEFT.

[ Well then. ]

Also, I futzed up by not putting up a mingle header. If you show up late and want to talk to Alpha in addition to/instead of the second NPC, let me know. I doubt many people really want to talk to Alpha though... ))

*WAS HERE ALL ALONG . . . he'll stop and talk to Iluna as well but we can timey-wimey a little*

Yeah, let's keep going.

It'll be back out into the storm again.

[Heading for the back door. And ffff, yeah, I don't need to wear the hoody, I GOT THIS.]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Second verse same as the first. You're going toward a well. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

[Toooo the well! Let's take a look around it.]

Re: AMETHYST

[antreegonist]

*and also in it!*

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ You hear faint birdsong, but you can't see anything because of the snowstorm and because the well is DARK. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

[Birdsong from in the well?]

[Leaning in to look into the well and extending her hand.]

[Lowering red light in the hand.]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ More birdsong. Your light only manages to illuminate another flash of red somewhere within the darkness. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[antreegonist]

*calling, into it...*

...hello down there? Lafra?

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

[Hmmmm. Are there any rocks around?]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ There might be. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

[Looking for a small rock.]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ If you can see through the storm... ]

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

....

[Yeah, screw it, not digging around for this. Pulling a piece of bandage out of her pocket and putting a light spell on it and dropping it down in the well.]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Your light only illuminates halfway but you do see more of that red flitting around ]

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

[Well, I can-]

[Except Mithos.]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ More frightened bird sounds ]

Re: AMETHYST

[antreegonist]

*...is the well big enough to climb down into

possibly after Kira's done throwing rocks*

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Yes, yes it is. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[antreegonist]

*reaching down into it some to test the stone, to check how difficult a climb it might be*

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Looks pretty slippery... ]

Re: AMETHYST

[antreegonist]

*well . . . he'll try scrambling down there anyway, carefully

at least he's had plenty of practice.*

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

Weren't you floating earlier? [Why scrambling.]

Re: AMETHYST

[antreegonist]

Sometimes powers switch off in this heart. I don't want to risk if climbing's actually an option!

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Decent progress is being made... although that darkness has a lot of WIND RESISTANCE as in trying to push Mithos back UP and out of the well. It's also full of an almost choking sense of FEAR ]
