For Thine Is; Part One

[animusmods]

Characters: anyone outside of the Tower
Setting: outside
Format: any
Summary: You have been transported out of the Tower, and you must return quickly.
Warnings: psychological horror

It's pitch black here, though the ground is made of dirt and the Tower gleaming in the distance provides at least a sign that light exists somewhere. It's completely silent. It feels as if things might jump out at you--but that's probably your imagination.

... yeah, I think that's exactly where we are.

[Slowly she looks back towards the Tower in the distance, trying to at least take a guess at how far away it is. It's certainly not close, and seeing the Tower from the outside is rather surreal.]

And I think that means we're in a ton of danger right now.

[wrigurun]

No way. No way!

How are we outside? There aren't any doors!

[Or at least she doesn't seem to think there are any. The general atmosphere is kind of starting to claw at her brain but making sound seems to keep her sane. When she's not spouting nonsense Wriggle jogs a little on the spot, listening to her footsteps]

[gradosfinest]

If I had to guess, something happened with Zo and we got teleported out here. ... somehow.

[Her frown intensifies, Wriggle is right about the lack of doors around the Tower. Getting back in, if they even reach the Tower in the first place, is probably not going to be very easy.

And she has a sinking feeling they can expect no help from Zo.]

... come on, let's get walking. It'll be safer if we're moving together, right? Plus I'd rather have somebody to talk to, I really don't like how quiet it is out here.

[wrigurun]

You're telling me! I feel like something would jump out if I went on my own...

The sooner we can get back the better, I don't get why I can't fly though! I had my collar changed and that was supposed to fix everything!

[gradosfinest]

That's... worrying.

[Shouldn't those of them with swapped collar fluid have their powers even out here? This is something she's going to have to consider later on, perhaps mention to one of the smarter people she knows. All the same she starts walking, glancing over her shoulder to make sure Wriggle's moving too.]

Anything else feel off? I don't like the feeling I'm getting from my collar.

[wrigurun]

[Wriggle's keeping right next to her, occasionally even trotting out in front]

Everything feels off. This place is too weird!

I don't like it, I just want to get back...
