DAY 010
“We make up horrors to help
us cope with the real ones.”
—Stephen King
The day dawns but few wake to see it. Only one, who has been exempt from the strange happenings about to unfold. She will face a day like any other, a farce of normality in an utterly abnormal universe — but she will face it alone. For none who will experience these strange happenings are to be found in the town until the next morning dawns. Each has been taken, whisked away to another layer of the town, peeled back and exposed like a raw nerve.

Mathias screams and there are none who can hear it.


THE DETAILS
Each exploration, encounter, and revelation happen separately from one another. Though some may include the same locations, none will overlap in time or space. The circumstances laid out in each prompt are exclusive to that situation — do not assume the answers someone else received will also apply to you.

Players may ask questions as they normally do for logs, but these should be kept as part of the designated thread. You may create a subthread under your header for questions, or intersperse them with your "tags". Your responses may be formatted as IC tags or as a more OOC "telling" what your character does rather than showing.

DAY 011
All characters involved in this event will wake on the morning of Day 011 in the exact location where they began to sleep on Day 009, but they will find themselves covered in a layer of dust just as thick as that which had covered much of Mathias. The dust does not extend to their surroundings.

The memories of what they encountered or saw remain clear in their minds, no matter how impossible they might seem. Sights, sounds, smells, all may be recalled with crystalline clarity, even if they wish it were otherwise.

Zed wakes in a dark room to find herself in a large bed with crumpled sheets and flat pillows. Tall windows allow moonlight to illuminate the room, allowing the tasteful yet elegant style to be seen. A light coating of dust has begun to accumulate on all surfaces in the room, including the long chest of drawers against one wall with a mirror attached to the back. Another mirror is mounted to the opposite wall, an oval shape, and a smaller third mirror rests on a bedside table. All the mirrors show signs of age, dark spots appearing around the edges that obscure bits of whatever they're reflecting.

There is one door to the room, unlocked, leading out to a long hall with doors on one side and tall windows on the other.

Before she is even fully awake Zed knew there was something wrong. It was more than the sense of dread that had continued to pool in her stomach since she had arrived here - this was something else. Something darker. She didn't wake right away even if her mind was clawing to wake up.

When she finally woke she sat up slowly. This wasn't the room she had claimed at John's house. It wasn't like a room in the house at all. She kicked off the sheets and slowly got up. The moonlight just made everything look more eerie and wrong. The room felt old like no one had been in it for years. She knew there was no point in calling out for John. He wasn't here even if she isn't sure where here is. After the last few days she wasn't that surprised even if she was worried. Slowly she began to move around the room. Dust. Old mirrors. She reached out to touch one of them but then hesitated. Her powers may not have been working but the last thing she needed was to have a vision that would send her spiralling.

Instead, she went to the door and slowly opened it. She poked her head out before stepping out into the long hall.

"Definitely not John's house," she muttered under her breath.
