It could have been minutes or it could have been hours that passed as the shy, and now exhausted, brown haired girl laid on the ground... Chances were, it was minutes because the blood that had dripped from her nose hadn't yet dried.
Slowly, consciousness begins to return to her... However, as pain accompanies wakefulness, Ellie finds herself wishing she were still unconscious... "Mmm......" she groans softly as she wakes into a migraine sized headache... For a long time, she just lays there... Eyes staring unfocused at the vines as she tries to make sense of what she'd seen...
She couldn't remember even a fraction of the end when she was flooded by so much knowledge... But she could remember most of the visions before... They, the visions... Were so confusing... It was like... She was seeing the memories of some... Creature... Something powerful and angry... But... What was the last thing? Why did the vines thrust so much knowledge upon her...?
Eventually, she gives up on trying to make sense of it for now... It was making her already pounding head, pound harder... As much as she wished she could just lay on the cool grass forever, she knew she was open to attack like this... Slowly, ever so slowly, she pulls herself to her feet... She hurt... She ached... She... Itched... The thorns had done a number to her skin... and now she itched more then ever...
With a dazed expression, she begins wandering around the grounds once more... She felt exhausted by the knowledge overload; and as she wandered deeper into the fog, she finds the soft breathy distant voices in her head were getting more forceful, stronger, and bolder... One voice in particular started to stick out to her...
"Come~ Ellie... Come! There is safety here~! Shelter, food, water~! Come~!"
The voice, soft and comforting, seemed to pull at her, to tug at her heart... It sounded almost familiar... But not quite... But that didn't matter... She was so tired, so hungry, and so lonely... She needed shelter, she needed to go... To find this promised place...
And so, with eyes dull with madness, she stumbles slowly through the mist while speaking to this mysterious voice, all the while traveling deeper and deeper into the fog...

OOC: SCENARIO 7
Scenario requirements:This event can only be rped with TWO or more people. One of the characters begins to lose their mind, convinced that a someone is talking to them, telling them there is safety beyond the fog. They begin to drag the other character that direction as well.
The other character now has the option to fight back with that player, or accept. If they follow, the first player will continue to talk about this imaginary person talking to them (make one up, base it on a person close to that character) has promised them an increasingly more ludicrous count of promises (you can make these up). They get stranger and more unrealistic.
This rp continues until the second character being dragged realizes something is up with the first character. They can choose to roll 1d6 to drag the character back towards the hospital away from the thickness of the fog. If the roll even, they succeed, if they roll odd, the other character continues to drag them. Continue this RP until the second character has rolled 1d6 and rolled even successfully to drag the other player out. Characters involved: Ellie & Mike Extra effect: N/A
Mike was still walking inside the hospital and now he didn't hear the phones ring anymore. He realised it they were just ringing in his head and since he knew that they stopped. They had kept ringing for quite a while but now they finally stopped. Thank goodness as it had been driving him crazy.
He did however still have the feeling of being followed and being watched. This was a feeling that didn't want to leave him as if someone watched him, stared at him and wanted to harm him. It was something bad and it was after him. He had the feeling it was something inside the hospital or maybe the hospital itself that gave him this feeling so he walked outside.
He had been almost attacked once inside the hospital and he hoped something like that wasn't around outside so that's why he was walking outside again. He hoped he would feel better there even with the fog.
It didn't work as he had the feeling even more eyes watched him now. He was just about to go back inside when he saw someone else outside. Someone walking around in the fog. That was not save and all but he did hear good things. He heard her say something about safety and shelter so maybe she was going somewhere really save. Was this possible?
He walked up to her. "Hey, hello there. I'm Mike and I heard you're going to a save place?" He asked her and added. "Can I follow you?" Mike wanted to be save too and trusted the girl in front of him. He hoped she trusted him too somehow and made him come along. He wondered who told her about a save place and if there was anyone else around. He thought he heard her talking earlier but maybe he was wrong. She wasn't talking to herself was she? He decided to just follow her as it was probably going somewhere save.

The title is fine! Sorry for the late reply I wanted to reply this morning but I got up a bit late and had to rush to work. I had to wait till I got back home from work till I could reply. (Can't be online at work). I also had to find this thread because you forgot the last S in my username an I didn't get the qoute. It's was already on the third page of the forum.
Going to roll the dice to drag your character back to the hospital in my next post. Hope that's fine.

"This shelter sounds nice..." she comments dully in a soft tone as she continues her wanderings. "It is Ellie~ Come... It is beautiful and safe~" the voice says softly as it tempts her with it's promises... Most of the other voices in her head had quieted down and only the soft comforting one really stuck out now...
The fog around her just seemed to grow deeper and deeper... It soon became hard to see and it was a miracle she'd not run into the fence or the building itself yet... In her wanderings, she didn't even stop to wonder if she were still inside the relative safety of the hospital grounds or not... It didn't matter to her... As she fell deeper into the maddening promises of safety, her only thoughts were of finding this paradise shelter...
Finally, she was interrupted from her madness induced conversation as a boy approaches her... His introduction didn't really mean much to her, and she frankly didn't even really comprehend what he was saying... Dull eyes look upon the newcomer with a flicker of curiosity and interest... Could she bring another person to safety? Should she? A little bit of Ellie's natural desire to help and protect people started to spark back to life, it was further encouraged by the soft voice. "Yes Ellie~ Yes... Bring him... All should be safe~ All should come~"
Eventually, after a few moments of listening to the voice, Ellie decides to bring him. Suddenly, without warning, she grabs his arm and begins gently leading him in a random direction. "She- The gentle one... Speaks of safety... Of food and shelter and water... We must follow her... Find the paradise she speaks of... Find our place within the fog..." she explains softly in a dull tone...
It was pretty clear... Ellie wasn't quite all there right now...

Oops, I should have checked it! Lol, I have to put in BBCode by hand and usernames can be a bit tricky at times.
Okay, now Mike had the idea something was wrong. A save place around may be possible but a paradise didn't sound very realistic. Not a tiny bit and it worried him. She also had a strange way of talking and hardly seem to notice him.
At first he let her grab his arm and let himself get pulled along but it didn't feel right. They were going deeper and deeper into the creepy fog and he couldn't see anything anymore. He felt something trying to scratch him but the girl pulling him along didn't seem to notice at all.
"The gentle one?" Mike asked as he didn't know who she ment. She was talking to herself, wasn't she? She was going mad and he had to help her. "No! Not a place within the fog! It's very dangerous here!" Whoever was talking to her was wrong as there was no safety in the fog. They needed to get out of the fog. He started to pull her back. Back to the little savety the hospital had.

"Yes... She speaks of safety, of paradise... Where there will be no pai-" she suddenly finds herself off from her ramblings by him pulling back! "N-no! W-we must go into the fog for safety!" she shouts suddenly, as he begins to try and pull her out! A bit of her shy stuttering came through as his sudden jerking, shook her the slightest bit lose from the madness!
It was short lived however, and the soft voice in her head began to turn a bit sharper! No~! He is lost~ He needs to find his way~, Our way~! You must save him~! Pull him deeper Ellie~, deeper into the safety of the fog~!" the voice shouts commandingly in her head!
Nodding, she begins pulling harder! Despite her petite size, she could pull rather hard if she wanted to! "The fog is safety! We must go deeper to find her paradise!" she shouts with a tone of madness and desperation!
Mike slightly panicked as the small girl started to pull him further into the fog again while still talking to herself. She pulled alot harder this time so it was getting harder for him to fight back.
"No! What are you doing?" He yelled at her "Snap out of it. It's NOT save here." He tried to pull her back again. They needed to be back at the hospital and the girl needed to snap out of whatever was in her mind. It looked like someone else was somehow controlling the girl. She needed to stop listening that voice. He wanted to save the girl but she seemed stronger for now and he got dragged deeper into the fog.

Ellie was satisfied with her results as he was dragged further into the fog. However, his increased struggling was making it more difficult to pull him along and she was found she had to really dig her heels in.
His words meant little to her at first, but when he told her to snap out of something, she couldn't help but pause for the briefest moment to gaze dully at him in perplexion... Snap out of what...? she thinks in bewilderment for a moment before the now sharp voice chimed in.
"Don't listen to him~! He is the one controlled~! They~, Them~, The others~, They don't want him to be free~! Keep pulling Ellie~! Deeper and deeper into the fog where it's safe~!" the voice shouts which causes her eyes to widen and pull harder! "The gentle one wouldn't lie! We must head deeper!" she cries in a dull, confused, desperation to match the boy's own!

Well he did help already! He reduced her infection! Lol.
He didn't really know what to do right now as the girl seemed to be getting angry or something. But who was it aimed at? Him or whoever was controlling the girl? Maybe it was even both. He realised she had to snap out of it soon or the both of them would end up very deep into the fog. Too deep to find the hospital back so they would be in some serious danger. Still he let her pull him along. He didn't want to hurt her.

Once he stopped resisting her and began letting her drag him along, she began to calm down and relax. The voice too begins to calm down, and soon she was dully chatting with the madness induced voice like nothing had happened... It didn't take long before she started to slip deeper into the madness again...
Morning_stars
It seems Ellie is really intent on dragging them to their doom in the fog! Lol.
After this we'll both have 45 infection... We could try to squeeze in a mob battle once Ellie gets sane again if you want.
Mike noticed how deep they were into the fog now and realised it was now or never any deeper and he wouldn't be able to find the hospital back. "Don't listen to whoever you hear! They LIE! It's NOT save in this fog!" He yelled at her and pulled really hard at her arm now to try and drag her back.
He really wished he didn't hurt her by doing so but it needed to be done. It wasn't before long that he saw the hospital again and he continued dragging her that way. When they were almost there he stopped and looked at her. "Did I hurt you? I'm sorry if I did." He hoped she had finally snapped out of whatever was going on but he wasn't sure. He hoped she wasn't hurt or angry at him now. He only tried to help and get them both save.

Ellie had grown slack, she and the voice inside her head figured the boy had given up and was going to follow them. That's why, when he started struggling with a new fierceness, she wasn't prepared! "H-huh! N-no! W-we can't go back that way! We, we need to go deeper! No!" she shouts frantically as he got her in a good strong grip! She struggled hard to get away as the voice, now sharp and angry, egged her on! Fortunately, she couldn't get free from his grasp no matter how hard she struggled or protested!
Slowly, as she was dragged out of the fog back towards the hospital, the madness's grip began to weaken! The other voices, the paranoid and the guilty, returned as the 'gentle one's' began to disappear. This was good however; more and more of Ellie's senses were returning to her as she got closer to the hospital.
Finally, they reach the safety of the hospital proper. At this point, Ellie was just letting him drag her along as she tried to make sense of what happen to her... Her thoughts felt so muddy... Plus, she still had remnants of the headache from before... But she was glad the madness seemed to be gone now... Once, they stop and he apologies for dragging her away, she puts a hand to her head before shaking it slightly... "N-no... I-it's ok... I'm fine..." she says quietly in a shy tone as she averted her eyes in embarrassment... At most she had a few visible bruises, but those were likely due to all her struggling.
She was silent for a moment as she let the fog inside her head fully disperse. Finally, once she could think at least semi-clearly, she looks at him briefly before averting her gaze bashfully... "T-thank you... Y-you saved me..." she says quietly in a shy, thankful tone. It took her at least another two minutes before she could actually remember her manners and remember that she should introduce herself. "O-oh... M-Mike was it? I-I'm Ellie by the way..." she says softly in her continually shy tone. She actually was a bit surprised she could remember his name... She hadn't really paid much attention to his introduction before...
Morning_stars
Oh, looks I was wrong! It doesn't say anywhere you get more infection does it? Well that's good!

They were save now again or at least saver than before in the fog. She seemed alright and he entered the hospital again after checking if the room was empty and did not have any undying in them. It was empty and he decided to go in. He made sure the girl would follow. When she introduced herself he answered with. "Well pleased to meet you Ellie. I like your name. I wished we met somewhere better". He was surprised she remember his name but he was happy about it.
He noticed that something was wrong with her and he said to Ellie. "You don't look too good Ellie. Maybe you need to sit down here." He grabbed a chair and placed it in front of her. "Here, you need to rest. I'm going to check if the halls are save." Mike left through a door but stayed close to keep watch.

"Nice to meet you to." she says bashfully before nodding. "Y-yeah... E-even the mall would h-have been better then here..." she agrees shyly. Ellie also wished she hadn't been lost in madness when she met him... It was kinda embarrassing...
As Mike enters the building, Ellie pauses and looks at it cautiously... Her senses, the paranoia, everything, seemed to tell her not to go inside... But... Mike was going in, and before long he was looking back at her expectantly to make sure she was coming in too... Frowning, Ellie finally nods mentally to herself and follows him in...
The inside was spooky to say the least, just as she'd figured it'd be... Ellie was a naturally brave and curious person, but she wasn't foolish or rash... Usually... The spooky interior of the waiting area wasn't what had her tensed and jumpy... The paranoia and general air of malice is what had her digging around in her bag for her knife. She stops and actually jumped a bit at Mike's voice before relaxing with a strained sigh... His concern for her health seemed well founded. She was still recovering from the knowledge overload the vines gave her before... And the Madness hadn't helped either...
She was slightly pale, her eyes were still a bit dull, and her face had a slightly pinched look from the headache which hadn't yet gone away... Needless to say, she wasn't alright. But, she was dealing with it; thats why when Mike pointed out how bad she looked, she blushes slightly as he pulls a chair over... "I-I'm fine..." she says softly in a shy tone that didn't sound very convincing... Despite her weak protest, she sits down anyway. It was good to be off her feet she had to admit... She had no idea how long she'd been wandering around that fog...
As Mike mentions he was going to go check to see if it was safe, she nods and begins digging around in her bag for her knife again. "B-be careful!" she calls out to him with probably the most strength yet. Once she found her knife, she sat patiently watching the hall he'd gone now... She hoped he'd come back soon...
