Early heart run.

[restorefromsave]

As you step through the door a siren goes off, the sound echoing in your ears for several minutes as the world goes completely black and empty.

You’re not falling but you’re not really standing on anything either, and all that you can percieve is the sirens still blaring, loud loud loud in your ears--

There’s an explosion so huge you don’t see or hear it so much as feel it through to your very bones. You feel an impact, strange and unsettling, and you think you might be dead? Because you can’t feel your body anymore.

Slowly the sound begins to fade and light and feeling returns, allowing you to see where you are. You’re also alive, good for you.

You end up here at the end. Unless you're Yuki, who ends up here.

Did... I just end up in Wonderland again...

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

Sure looks like Wonderland! Though it's missing the boulder hill, the tracks and the mushroom forest.

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

Right...

[siiiiighs -- okay well let's go see those plants then]

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

They are giant flowers. Quite pretty though sort of artificial looking.

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

[reaching up to touch them]

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

They feel like plastic and foam. You feel a little disconnected from your body, like you aren’t quite real.

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

[well that's really fucked up... let's pushing into the flower garden to see what's beyond]

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

Wonderland man.

A small checkered chess path winds through the flowers, ending in a smooth stone wall. The stone is so perfectly polished it shines like glass.

[runs his hand over the wall]

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

It feels smooth and cool. Touching the wall gives you a jolt, like an electric shock.

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

[jerks his hand back and looks around to see if there's an obvious way through... also how tall is this thing?]

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

The wall runs along in both directions, the foliage obscuring how far it goes.

You and your AT.... It's pretty tall, but that might make it more fun.

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

[yeah it will |D pulls out his A-T and wall rides straight up it :D]

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

You do get kind static shocked but you make it to the top of the wall!

There's someone there.

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

[blinks at the person]

Hello?

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

It's Sion. He rests both hands on a simple silver Bishop’s crook.

He wears a white cape with black trim, but it’s stained and covered in blood along the hems. Or it’s probably blood? It’s too bright red, it’s vivid. The same bright red stains his face and hands, smearing the silver of the crook he holds, dripping and making a mess...

He says nothing as he looks you over.

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

[hopefully he appreciates the view]

This is your area?

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

"....This is all my area."

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

Ah, I'm glad to meet you then.

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

He. He doesn't look that glad to meet you. Sorry.

"You're intruding."

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

Ah... sorry about that.

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

He looks just blank.

"You're here now. What do you intend to do?"

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

I don't have plans really. I thought I'd just see what I could find.

Re: Chessboard

[restorefromsave]

It's really really hard to tell what he's thinking under all the :|

"Is that all?"

Re: Chessboard

[fallinflames]

I don't intend to damage anything or start changing things indiscriminately.
