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.

Eliot’s just going to assume the difference in colour is an effect of the dim light and tired eyes. Thankfully he’s not the sort to automatically assume it’s something sinister. Besides, he has one priority now and that’s opening this wooden chest.

He crouches down and sets the candle beside him, then checks to see if the box is locked or latched before lifting the lid.

Please, he thinks, let it be a stash of well aged wines.

Eliot’s starting to get serious Blood Magick vibes. Well. He could just leave it, go to another room, but curiosity is getting the better of him. He takes both the bowl and the knife out, then closes the chest so he can rest them on the lid.

Retrieving the candle, Eliot picks up the knife again so he can examine it under the light of the flame.

“Holy — Shit -“

Eliot drops the knife. It clatters to the floor as he takes a step back, looking at his bloody hand.

Absolutely fuck this. He should have gone to the room with the papers and shit.

He feels behind him for the door frame and turns, looking for a hasty escape.
