Welcome to Gaia! ::

In an instant, he had arrived in darkness. Groggy again, and with a headache to boot, and numb, he muttered weakly, "Nina? Daniel? Uh, other guy? You there?"

She'd just had to ask, hadn't she? Even knowing the cause of it all now, it was hard to think of anything, anything at all, except the fact that she didn't want to die here, and that she was being pulled toward the eye anyway. Except this wasn't even dying, it was not-existing, which seemed somehow creepier than anything else. "I wish to exist! I don't want to be erased!" Though, of course, she couldn't be sure anyone heard.

Then there was nothing but darkness.

...

Ugh, how many times was she going to be waking up suddenly today? Katie sat up and tried to look around, but she couldn't see anything. "Hello? Please tell me there's someone else here. Please..." Was anyone else here? She didn't want to be alone in the dark...

Fear was all Oyumi knew before finally the darkness claimed her. For the second time that day (or night, she really didn't know which is was) she found herself awaking with a start. She was quick to glance around even though she couldn't see anything through the darkness. As soon as Kurai spoke, she made her way over to the other girl.

"Kurai, are you okay?"

Darkness. Was this really the end. "Jirachi?" he spoke in a barely audible whisper. "Where are you? I do hope that you'd forgive our kind." To be erased before he begun, was quite the odd ending to this little adventure of his. Yet one would even question if this had been an adventure. He looked around him, yet nothing seemed to be there, only darkness was left.

He wasn't sure what happened... but the noise and madness was gone. In replace of it was darkness. Pure black. He could hear the voices of those other trainers... but he didn't care about them. Carefully, he tried to stand, realizing his balance was a little thrown from the fact that he had no idea just where he was.. or what way he was facing. His arms were extended at his sides for balance.

Cara looked around, but could see nothing other than complete and utter darkness. "Hello?!" She shouted out, seeing if anyone was there. This can't be it...this can't be... She thought. "Is anyone here?!" Cara was starting to get a little freaked. There was no light and no sound coming from anywhere. She couldn't even see her hand in front of her face. She found herself in the wondering the same thing she had not long ago, where was she and what happened?

She then started hearing voices...well, at least she wasnt alone..wherever they were.

And then he was waking up, once again, in an unfamiliar place. He didn't even remember blacking out this time.

He wasn't sure if Duo was still nearby, but he could hear the others beginning to wake up as well, and talking about how dark it was.

Dark? Cygnus grinned. It was always dark for him. For once, it seemed he was the most able person in the room.

Was it a room, at all? Yes, he decided. A hard floor, packed earth, probably a basement of some sort. The slightly musty smell of the air agreed with that. He stood up. "I think we're in the basement of... somewhere," he announced to the group in general.

It was dark. Lore wiggled her fingers, confirming that she could feel. She patted her head, arms and legs, making sure that everything was there and feeling quite silly while doing so.

She noted her success at surviving that situation; perhaps it had all been a harmless apparition after all. But she had the full determination to wake the hell up this instant and pinched herself as hard as she could. "OW." That... didn't work. Unless she was awake already. Hearing other voices, she spoke out. "Anyone here near a wall or ceiling?"
