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.

"God, what the hell is this place. This has got to be some weird ass dream, right?"

But all her dreams lately are...well, a much different flavour than this. She's pretty sure her mind wouldn't conjure up some weird shit in a box surrounded by cobwebs. Though maybe it would, with her annoyance at not finding any fucking weapons in the town.

So she pushes the lid all the way open and reaches in to take the knife first. It's going to suck when this is a dream and she wakes up sans knife, she thinks, but for now it'll have to do. She considers leaving the bowl, because what does she need that for? But she sets the candle down there on the table next to the chest and picks the bowl up to examine it.

When Ellie has the bowl in her hands, in the blink of an eye it is filled with blood. Fresh, hot blood that spills over the edge and onto her fingers. Beneath the cobwebs, the walls shine a deep wet red in the flickering candlelight.

ah this is what I have icons like this for

Ellie stares at the bowl for only about a second after the blood hits her hands. She has no idea how it's possible or if it's real or if she's lost her mind, but it doesn't matter. She drops it, which doesn't seem to matter very much since there's suddenly just blood everywhere. She grabs for the knife with slick fingers again, though it's hard to hold it now.

"Fuck. Holy fuck. What the fuck," she says. She continues on like that because what else is there to say?

Time to grab that candle and run back for the door.
