For Thine Is; The City

Characters: any characters who were warped outside
Setting: outside
Format: any
Summary: The outcast residents arrive in the city that surrounds the Tower.
Warnings: psychological horror

The city appears on the horizon long before they reach it, of course--and it stretches and stretches and stretches, swallowing up the landscape until it's all that can be seen before them. And on a hill in the center lay the Tower, as if it were a monolith to be worshiped by an awestruck populace. But if that's the case, then the god has been abandoned: there is no one left alive to pay tribute.

But if that's the case, maybe it's the god who abandoned them first.

The city is dead, and its population has fallen like ash on the streets and buildings. The bodies are familiar ones to those who have seen their home worlds after being taken from it: corpses that do not decompose, with their insides pulled out through their mouths.

The city is sorted into ringed districts--while time is not on your side, you have to pass through each district anyway, so there's nothing saying you can't do a little exploring as long as you don't dawdle too long...

[It is quite clear that the shadow...wants to be friends and hug the ever-loving vicseral out of him.

This means that Mitchell is going to start quietly removing himself from the scene.]

[The shadow leaps down from the building without any regard for any damage it might take from such a fall. It chases after Mitchell, though Mitchell has a head start.]

[Oh happy, happy, joy, joy! His new friend wants to follow him. The only proper response to give in such a situation was to take flight.]

[The shadow pursues him for a while, but it will give up when Mitchell either crosses over to another area of the city or rejoins the larger group.]

[Then that is exactly what he is going to be doing. Though he will hazard a glance back at the creature once it seems to stop following him.]

[Once it gives up chase, the shadow watches him go before slipping off into the business district again.]
