Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apparently no one else appreciated the fine art fixed to the wall. Elijah, on the other hand, was appreciating it for all it was worth. In fact, he decided it was time to investigate the painting further.

"What's behind Door Number One? Show him what he's won!"

With a firm press of a button receded into the grip of his electric chainsaw (it must have been, as there was no ripcord and no roar of a diesel engine), Elijah hoisted the weapon up, swung it backwards, and then plunged the growling machine into the painting.

The chainsaw made contact with the painting, and friction was felt, but there simply was no effect whatsoever.

A snake appeared in the corner of the room. As it slithered forward, however, it didn't move, it simply elongated, its tail remaining at that same corner of the room. As it started to fill the room, one man vanished from being constricted to death, and a woman disappeared after its venomous bite.

During all this, the second symbol flashed red and beeped. When the snake disappeared, the symbol returned to normal.

Out of nothing, as mysteriously as the others, another, perhaps not unexpected, person entered the room. The woman gazed around the room, her blue green eyes were glazed with a fogged expression. Her golden brown hair fell over her pale face in a perpetual state of wetness, as if she had just taken a shower. Although, it seemed to never dry. She glanced around the room vaguely, as if she wasn't shocked by her appearance in the room, but more like as she had just entered another dream. She wore a simple blue t-shirt and black jeans, with a practical black belt the were strung through the belt loops. Her fingers clenched by her side as two daggers formed in the gap she left in her palms.

Leir had zoned out in his madness, his eyes had caught everything that happened, but it wasn't in his brain for more then a second before vanishing into the deep unknowns of his madness-induced brain. "Perhaps the colors shine with blood." he mumbled to himself, "On the painting forgiven the darkness." As Leir looked at the painting all he saw was black though it seemed to change colors nonetheless. "Snakes and Spiders, Thread and Needles," he said as he continued mumbling then his eyes widened as if he had just solved the puzzle and he shouted "Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust!" He said and stood up, then it was gone and Leir had no idea what he had thought of.

Leir finally began noticing things around the room and walked slowly over to the sushi platter, he plopped one in his mouth and took 7 or 8 for later eating he carried these in his hands. Then he walked over to the man with the chainsaw, "Why do you carry a chainsaw?" Leir asked inquisitively as he stared wide-eyed at the mans face, completely ignoring the people who had shown up.

The blood flew everywhere. The man collapsed in half, but made no sounds as he did, simply falling to the floor. As this happened, the rest of the pantomiming figures disappeared with a wave. As they vanished, one might have noticed the first two symbols fall off the wall, then quickly jump back onto it again, assuming they could make it out through all the blood flying everywhere.

Leir didn't move or flinch as the blood spattered his entire right side. His eyes remained focused on the murderer as he moved to the fire place and said something about t.v. "Blood isn't darkness is it?" Leir said "Or is it? Because it seems evil, or maybe it can be darkness just like us all." he said still in his trance. "Darkness, Darkness, Everywhere, but not a drop to drink." After he said this Leir went to the table where the sushi sat and was about to get more when he remembered he had some in his hand. So he sat down and began eating the ones he had grabbed earlier, ignoring anyone who had spoke to him while he did so.

Jager appeared out of the nothingness that everyone appeared out of, extremely confused and disoriented he went over to the first chair he saw, only once he sat down in it did he relize that it had only just appeared there when he looked at it. gazing about the room he noticed the others scattered about, than he noticed the painting it was extremely weird the best way he could describe it was painted chaos, it was extremely well done but none-the-less it gave him the creeps and so decided to stay away from it. instead he decided to look over at the glowing circle which he assumed was a portal of some kind. when he stood up he noticed that his katana and berreta were missing. wondering where they were he looked around and noticed them appear on the table, walking over he grabbed them and strapped them on. He then went over to the assumed portal thinking that if there was a way in there must be a way out and scince he could see that the only door went to the bathroom he deduced that the portal must be the way out. ignoring the blood and gore that for some reason was all over the floor he made his way over to the portal and stood right in the middle of it wondering where it would take him if it would take him anywhere.
