OOC: SCENARIO 9

Scenario requirements:
You reach a long barricade of thorns on the other side of the wall. They seem to be moving, pulsating with a life of their own and gift out a strange light. Flowers begin to bloom on the wall. When you press your hand against one, you are immediately assaulted with a strange vision (roll 1d6 to see what it is).

1. You see a skyscraper. At the very top there is a greenhouse. You feel yourself hovering above the greenhouse before diving right into it. There is a beautiful garden inside it, almost like a biodome. In the center of the biodome is what looks like some sort of chalice

2. You see hundreds of dead bodies, and a strange feeling washes over you. Apathy. You stand over the bodies and continue searching for at least one survivor. You hear yourself speak. "Are humans really so fragile?"

3. You fight against humans, but this time they are armed. Their weapons hurt. You are frustrated. They are eligible, but none of them will truly accept your wisdom. You kill many without ever feeling accepted. The feeling continues until the vision is over.

4. You fight against creatures of shadows, what you would consider your own breathren. They come in all shapes and sizes, large beasts and dragons, demons and even the undead. They refuse your knowledge. They are not compatible. They beg, negotiate and even fight against you to stop. You assimilate them for their treachery and refusal to serve.

5. You sleep in a long chamber of vines. Inside it are rows and rows of crystals. Each one is important to you. You tap against one, and it resonates, and you feel a strange sense of satisfaction. This is the power you have collected from those living and dead.

6. [ There is no actual image in this vision. Instead, you are assaulted with hundreds, thousands of conflicting thoughts, emotions, and ideals, all of them not your character's own. Your actual character's nose begins to bleed, and they fall to the ground, convulsing. They are unable to roll any other visions from the above if they reach this prompt and eventually pass out ].

Otherwise, you may continue rolling until you have fulfilled the 250 word requirement for it!

When the event is over, add +10 infection to your character's infection meter

Characters involved: Annalise Lapointe
Extra effect: Any player in your party [ carrying a flashlight ] will be able to shine it in dark places. This does an additional +1 damage every time they hit any sort of mob (including boss mobs!) when they flash it at them

Even with the fog that had plagued her journey to this strange hospital environment, as much as it looked somewhat safe and secure, Lease didn't feel the least bit interested in stepping inside of it. Perhaps being holed up in two buildings already against her will had done its damage and for once she just wanted to be outside. Couldn't really say it was for the fresh air, not with what lingered still around her. Thankfully, at least, not as thick.

Lease crossed her arms, her fingers lacing into the one of the layers of sweaters she was wearing over her batman related costume, resisting the urge to scratch some more at what felt like ants under her skin. She just kept walking, her boots crushing over what vegetation was left, her head forward and her eyes in a constant glare. Occasionally she would shake her head, trying to fight what little whispers crept into her ears.

And occasionally she would turn a corner or turn abruptly around when she thought she spotted someone ahead. Sometimes she saw Drew, sometimes Lei. At one point she thought she saw Rebecca, and oddly enough one time she thought she saw her covered in blood.

Leaning against one of the hospital walls, she thought she saw Jeff. Lease snorted and went the other way.

There seemed to be an end to the place, she discovered at a point. She found herself at a barricade, high and actually a little intimidating. It was covered in thorns - didn't she see that at the mall when they left it? Didn't she hear something about them? Despite the warnings, she thought they looked rather cool. They seemed so alive, a contrast to the dead of the hospital and the murky fog. It was pulsing and when she stepped forward flowers began to bloom as if activated by her presence alone.

"What's so wrong about flowers.." she muttered, scratching at her cheek. She reached out a hand and pressed it against the foliage -

Her body twitched and her mouth fell open.

There were so many images. So many voices. So many cries of pain and longing. So many pleas to see loved ones, for safety.

Someone wanted to find their boyfriend.

Someone wanted to find their husband.

Their wife. Girlfriend. Friends, old and new.

Their children.

Cats.

A flat faced black dog.

The sound of the radio crackling with too much interference as so many voices spoke into it, breaking up. Jumbled mess of messages.

There were pleas for someone to end it, for others to find them. For mercy and salvation.

What have you done?!

Pain. Anguish, sadness.

Grief, so much grief. So much confusion.

So many voices, so much emotion, it collided all together. She couldn't make sense of it even if she was in the state of mind to do it. They were overwhelming. Lease's eyes rolled up in the back of her head, blood began to trickle from her nose and she fell backwards and convulsed on the ground.

Then finally passed out.
