Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jynn slowly made his way through the shadows, as if he were taking a tour of the prison. Or, he mused, visiting the prisoners. All around him he could hear a symphony of sounds. Chains rattling in some far off room. Screaming from any and every direction. And, underneath it all, bestial noises that no human could ever make or should ever hear. Jynn had his length of chain wrapped around his fingers and he quietly muttered to, inaudible under the shrills shrieks of pain and torment. The boy's head shot up, his eyes wide. Something didn't feel right. From near him, Jynn felt a presence, a light, that was heading right for him. He looked around wildly, trying to find a place to hide. Sadly, there were no object that could provide decent cover. So he had to do the next best thing. Jynn pulled his hood tight over his head and ran for the nearest wall. The boy slid against it and sat in what amount of shadows were there. He brought his knees up to his chest and curled into a ball, hiding his face entirely.


Jynn's world would crash into pieces as Loric walked through the door. The illusion of light would soon stop and it would leave just the unnatural presence of the other boy in Jynn's space.

The shifting walls surged and fell in such an erratic pattern most people would find themselves sick. For Takuya, this place filled his dreams. And for once he wasn’t sure if it was a dream or a nightmare. His breath seemed impossibly loud, cutting through the sounds of clanking chains and screams that echoed from the hallway. Compelled he strode forwards, lost in the twist and turns of the schools halls. In his stomach the twist of anxiety was making him paranoid, and Takuya continually checked over his shoulder for what would be chasing him, though he was not sure why.

He did not understand what he was looking for, merely that his intuition was telling him something was after him. And then ahead he saw the spectral form of something shift and move away. Unable to see clearly because of the dim lights he pulled off the fabric that was covering his left eye, exposing the oddity so he could observe his surroundings easier. Once again Takuya heard the echoing laughter of a child, and as if in a trance he followed the sound.

A sudden giddiness overcame him, his body trembling with anticipation. Unable to hold back Takuya let out a short giddy laughter as he chased the spectral form, not sure of where it was leading him or what it was leading him away from.

“I will get you.” He growled, “I will win this game.” His voice was laced with his dark determination; he was not one who would simply allow him self to lose. He was unsure of the game he was playing, nor was he aware of his role completely. There was one thing Takuya knew, he would play his role to the best of his capabilities. His statement had been a promise.

Shiro stepped out the door to the class and proceeded down the hall to the exit, she thought to herself 'maybe all it was, was a nightmare the entire time.' However as she reached for the exit to the academy she felt a wicked chill race to her very bones and she slowly turned to look to the side. Her eyes narrowed in defiant rage. The hall... It wasn't just some bad dream was it? Whatever this hallway was it was truly haunting her for an entire month. She gritted her teeth and lowered her stance some letting out a low growl. She was DONE being afraid of this... whatever it was. "Bou... Close your eyes, and stay quiet okay." She states firmly, letting Bou know that she really meant for him to remain quiet, he responded with the quietest of whimpers. She snapped her jaw shut and stepped into the hall, however, this time it was different. The hall didn't seem to stretch away from her or move at all in fact, it looked like a twisted version of the entire school itself it seemed to pulse grotesquely as if it were alive. Dark, ominous, and cold. However this new behavior it made Shiro nervous, but it also gave her an idea. If it was acting differently, then, maybe whatever was responsible was going to act differently as well. If that was the case, she was going to be ready for it whatever IT was. She paused for only a moment to take mental account of the schools layout before scooting down the halls which seemed to move and warp, the lights grew dim or went out entirely from time to time. She scrunched up her nose when a sudden vile odor attacked her senses. It smelled, well, of rotted meat. However she simply stopped sniffing the air and breathed slowly through her mouth, the scent was still there but it was nowhere near as potent this way. Sounds filled the school as well, voices, chains, occasionally ghastly sobs her ears batted back and she let out a low long growl as she barreled down the hallway, when suddenly a vision of some twisted THING appeared she stopped and launched a scroll from her pack like a kunai before whipping down a turn in the hall, she needed to take the alternate route to her intended hiding place. She was headed for the 'workshop class' or in other words the weapon manufacturing and practice area. She could hide in there among the cabinets and stuff, but she could also use the tools and other things to fight back, and if someone showed up that wasn't the thing responsible she could get away, this idea was brilliant, at least to Shiro it was. She glanced around the room, it couldn't have been more ominous with the failing lights and sounds, however that made the room all the more perfect with the different things on tables and other places that would make sounds all she needed was somewhere she could hunker down and finding her would be very difficult. She scanned quickly and found one of the larger standing cabinets which stood up off the ground by enough to make the perfect hiding place beneath it. She smirked and then slid underneath the cabinet. She would have to force herself to ignore the voices and other things so she could focus on 'the true threat'. She breathed slow and quiet and was now going to remain in hiding until it was time to strike.

Jynn stumbled to the side, easily pushed away by the Warm Boy. He waited until the boy walked away, before lifting his head back up. The door to the room slammed shut and Jynn's lips spread into a twisted, elated smile. He was thankful that had worked. He wasn't ready for a fight, not when he was caught off guard like that. Jynn lifted his chain wrapped hand to his face, muttering silently. He still had lost souls to convert, by the blessing of the Chain. the end of his chain swayed slightly, pointing towards the door the escapee had gone through. Jynn waited for a few more moments, giving the Warm Boy, the "hero," more time to get distance before he followed suite.

This area was starting to get to him mentally, it would get to many after a month of being stuck in hell with no training on how to resist any mental assaults. Once in the hallway, Kuro looked around as he was finally able to move himself. It was dark, full of shadows and still had the eeire vibe to it that it always had. Taking deep breaths to try and calm himself, focused his eyes so that they could adjust to the lighting in this area. Things had changed though, it wasn't just a hallway no more. It was the whole academy that enveloped itself in this weirdness, and this wasn't making things any better on Kuro at all. Ether way though, the young shinobi in training wanted to escape this hell as it was continually effecting his mental state as he was getting close to snapping. Being as calm as he could get, Kuro started to wander the hallways looking around in what ever rooms he could find. It was so dark though he didn't dare actually go into the rooms themselves. He needed to do something though, so moving over to a corner Kuro knelt and started to think. What could he do to actually try and escape this hell? He didn't know much at all so he was very limited on what he could do. He knew that he could do something though, it wasn't what he wanted to do but it would have to work for now. Standing back up, Kuro walked into one of the darkened rooms and started to search the darkness seeing if he could find anything or any weakness in what ever he was trapped in.

To find something in the room.

I was never here o.o

Jynn silently stalked behind the Warm Body, doing everything he could to remain unnoticed. Which wasn't much, aside from walking quietly, due to the amount of hiding places. He had to give the other boy credit. He seemed to be making progress through the Jail by using his nose. The fact that he could smell through the stench of cadavers impressed Jynn. As the hooded boy watched, the Warm Body turned and bolted down an adjacent hall. Jynn waited a moment, then pressed himself against the wall. The boy focused on his eyes, opening up his gift, as he peered around the corner. The escapee was standing the middle of an empty corridor, muttering to himself. Jynn's lips spread into a small smirk and he went back against the wall. He pulled the length of chain from his jacket pocket and made sure it was wrapped firmly around his right hand. Jynn stepped around the corner and proceeded to advance quietly towards the 'hero.' Upon the last few feet, Jynn's eye's widened, pupils dilated, and his smirk spread from ear to ear, an insane grin plastered on his face. The boy rushed forward the last foot, swinging his chain hand right at the Warm Body's head.
