It felt like a lifetime before Renita could force herself to move through the rusted gates to approach the old hospital. Voices still whirled around her, in turns mocking and afraid, and cold dread still clawed at her. Perhaps it had been right, that last clear voice, and she would not survive another night of this. Maybe she would die right here, and be one less thing holding Sawyer and the others down. There were infected milling about and though none had seen her yet it was easy to imagine what would happen when they did. Abruptly she realized she was shaking.

"No. No. I'm not doing this." She took a deep breath and used it to anchor herself, shoving out those useless thoughts and willing herself to think. She'd always been so proud of her ability to reason through things. The hospital windows were dark, its overall appearance abandoned, and it was beyond tempting to make her way inside to get away from the fog. But after the casino, she could not accept even the illusion of safety without proof.

Careful to stay well out of the way of the infected she saw, she began to move around the building, looking for anything particularly suspicious. Soon enough she found something very much of note. There was a- A barricade of thorns, pulsing with some kind of light. Before she could stop herself, she was moving forward, leaning in to look at the flowers blooming along it. A hand lifted to reach for one...



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 imnfection meter

Characters involved: Renita Hayes
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.

The moment her fingers brushed a single petal of the strange bloom, she was overwhelmed. If she'd thought the voices in the fog had been bad, this was something else entirely. It was that experience times a hundred, no a thousand, no an infinity and it showed no signs of ending. Her heart beat so quickly in her chest that it felt as if it would burst. What was happening to her?

She let out a hoarse scream and staggered back away from the vines, pulling her hand to her chest as if it had been burned. If she'd been able to think in any clear way through all of this, she might have been alarmed by the sudden but steady drip of blood from her nose, but there was so much in her head that wasn't her and she couldn't find her self. She stumbled again and then fell completely to the ground.

For a moment she tried to climb back up, but her eyes were already rolling up, her body shaking, and her mind was reeling from all these thoughts and emotions that weren't hers couldn't be hers why wouldn't they stop- And then her feet were under her and she was running. There was a door, and a tiny thought through the chaos that hospital meant help


When everything went black it was a blessing.
