B1 and tried to unlock the door with his key.


The closer Ulka gets to the B1 door, the more he realizes there is a steady little beep emitting from the room.

The steady beep grows louder...
...and the door creaks open.

The first thing you notice is how bright it is. The sudden and intense white of the room overwhelms you, and you pause, blinking rapidly in an attempt to help your eyes adjust. With every blink the room begins to change. Red begins to creep into your line of vision, the colour pale at first but deepening to a sharp crimson. It materializes in splatters on the walls and pools on the floor. It begins to take the shapes of freshly severed limbs and organs, until the once sterile white room is contaminated. The smell begins to permeate the room, filling your senses with the sharp scent of iron and putrid meat.

In the midst of the gore is a table. A figure lays prone on top of it, hidden from view by a bloody shroud. Beside it are two tables; on one rests a machine that emits a steady beeping noise. The other a table of surgical tools, bathed in blood and gore.

Lining the room are chairs. Some are splattered in gore and yet others are shockingly clean.

You have two options:


Investigate:

Approach the Operating table:

You step through the puddle of blood, unable to avoid it as you make your way to the table. The consistent beep of the machine beside the table is almost comforting, and yet as you near the bloody shroud, a strange feeling begins to set in. The feeling of dread, as though you know what you are about to see and yet are still hoping - no, praying - that you're wrong. You come to an uncomfortable stop beside the table, and find you have another two options:

Investigate the tables first?
In an effort to prolong the inevitable, you turn to investigate the tables beside the shrouded figure:

The Beeping Machine:
It's a FEAR output machine. The pulse that scrolls across the screen is consistent, but weak. Whoever is on the table is alive but only barely, and in the top corner there is a name...

You pause. Your blood runs cold. You recognize this name. It's the name of someone very close to you; someone you would be lost without. The last person you wanted to see in such a state. But that can't be right, can it? You reach out for the shroud; you have to know the truth, you have to see...

Your hand grips the shroud and pulls it back roughly. Suddenly, the heart rate monitor attached to them cries a loud warning. If you don't act fast, you may lose them:


Do something!
In a panic, you grab the surgical tools, and...

In a new post, roll a 1d4 and match your roll to the prompt below:
  • 1 - Despite your best efforts, the FEAR output monitor stops beeping, and instead emits a low, mournful tone. They are dead. You tried your best, at least...
  • 2 - It's touch and go. You use more tools than you can properly name. By the time you're finished you are covered in their blood and yet, somehow, the FEAR output monitor begins the same weak, consistent beep it had been earlier.
  • 3 - It's touch and go. You use more tools than you can properly name however, sadly, it isn't enough. It was a small slip, not even a fraction of a second...and that was it. The FEAR output monitor stops beeping. They are gone.
  • 4 - Somehow, despite being in a panic, you did something right. The FEAR output monitor begins its steady beep again. A moment or two later they say something; it's weak, but it sounds like they want you to move on...


If you were successful:
You see something in their hand, and you manage to pry it free. It's a letter, addressed to you. You read it, and it urges you to move on; they believe in you, they know you will get out of this, and you'll save them.

  • Please roll a 1d100 in another post.
  • Rolling 1-75: Their letter begins to disintegrate. The lovely words you read began to melt away before your eyes, until there is nothing left. In a panic you look back at the room; the steady BEEP is gone. The room is dark. The table is empty. Had it been a lie, all this time...?
  • 76-100: Their letter includes a small envelope with 'B2' written on the front. Inside is a [ key ]! The moment you touch the key, the original letter begins to disintegrate. The lovely words you read began to melt away before your eyes, until there is nothing left. In a panic you look back at the room; the steady BEEP is gone. The room is dark. The table is empty. Had it been a lie all this time...? Well, at least you have a key. Please quote The Escaped with your post. Found!
  • Please note that if someone has already found this key, please look to the prompt above (for the 1-75 rolls).


You leave the room.

If you were unsuccessful:
You see something in their hand, and you manage to pry it free. It looks like it was supposed to be a letter that you think was addressed to you, but it is too hard to read through all the blood. You find nothing else, and leave the room with a heavy heart.

The moment you step into the hallway, you hear something. You can't hear the words, but the voice is soft, accusing; you look back, but the room is dark. The light from the hallway spills in just enough to show...nothing. No table in the middle of the room. No flat lining machine. No bloody instruments. There was nothing there.

Had it always been nothing...?



Do nothing.
The FEAR output monitor stops beeping, the noise ending in one long, mournful tone.

They are gone. There is no taking this back. Your only option left is to leave.

The moment you step into the hallway, you hear something.

"Pity. Take them to the disposal room. Clearly they're not wanted here." The voice echoes in your ear, but as you turn to find it's source, there is nobody there. The lights in the room turn off one by one until the only light left is the one from the hallway. There are sounds of rustling fabric, the groan of steel and the pop of wheel locks being taken off. You hear the shrill creak of a heavy table moving further and further away.

The lights come back on. The tables are all gone. The only indication that they had been there at all is the thin trail of blood from the puddle that disappears into a back door.

The door does not open.

Nobody comes back.


Quote:
Your inaction has caused the death of someone you loved. Someone has taken them away to ???. Your only option is to leave the room. There is nothing for you here.



The Surgical Tray:
It's simply a tray of surgical instruments. There's no rhyme or reason for the placement of the tools, but they look like they have been used very recently...

You touch one of the tools, and a memory flashes before your eyes; you've held this before, you're sure of it. You can't remember how, why, or on whom, but the deja-vu is suddenly very, very intense. You drop the tool, and the vision ends, and does not happen again. You may either move on to [ investigate the beeping machine ] or [ peel back the shroud ].




Peel back the Shroud?
Your breath catches in your throat as you reach out for the bloody shroud. Your fingers tangle in the wet fabric, and you hesitate. Did you really want to see who was under there...?

Yes.
Yes, you tell yourself. You need to know, if only to have an answer for the terrible sinking feeling deep inside your gut. You grip the sheet tighter and pull it back---

---And you see them laying there. Your loved one. Someone you would be lost without. You freeze, and your blood runs cold. What are they doing there? No, it couldn't be them, could it? It was impossible...! Yet, there they were, a mess of blood and gore, recognizable enough but not the way you remember them.

Your reunion is short lived, as the beeping monitor beside you interrupts with a loud, screaming warning: their fear is unstable. You have to do something, quick:

Do something!

No.
You decide against it, and let go of the shroud. You consider your options: you may either [ investigate the tables first ], [ decide you want to remove the shroud ], or simply [ leave ].





Investigate the chairs:
You decide to look around the room first.

The gore is less frequent along the lines of chairs, but they are far from clean. It looks like some of the chairs had been sat in recently - four, to be precise - but otherwise there is little else to look at. You may either [ Approach the Operating Table ] or [ Leave ].






Leave:
You turn to leave, but just as you cross through the door into the hallway, you hear a weak, wet gurgle from within the room. The incessant beeping stops abruptly, ending in one long, mournful tone.

[ MAIN FLOOR HALLWAY ]

Brenley perked up at being called smart, even if it was by a devious fracs who wanted the majority of them to die painfully and permanently. He felt bad about everyone else's pain, really he did, but it was a detached sort of sympathy that he had somehow managed to twist until it was almost completely self-absorbed. He couldn't die like that ghoul. He had to get out, even if he had no skills that would help to get anyone else to safety.

He quietly slipped from the large basement room as several of the others moved to make the mermaid's corpse more comfortable. Bren pulled his map out of the pouch at his side. It didn't depict this floor, but he was fairly certain the stairs would have to be in the same place. Though his attention was grabbed by the bright light emanating from the room Teddy had unlocked, he quickly turned away. He would only be a moment. If he didn't assuage his curiosity regarding the door they hadn't tried, he wouldn't be of any help to anyone.

Heading up the stairs as unobtrusively as possible, Bren tried to open the door closest to him, 103.

[ ROOM B1 ]

At first, Ulka had thought he was hearing things. There was just a steady beep at the edge of his awareness. Nothing huge, no. Just a little sound. But as he approached the door, it grew louder. What even made that sort of noise....?

Nonetheless, the door unlocked with a solid click- and Ulka was almost blinded by the light. He rubbed at his one good eye, trying to get his vision to come back to him. It looked like... A doctor's office, kind of. But the part of it where they did the intense stuff. Ulka hesitated at the door for a moment, then made his way in.

The smell of blood was everywhere. He was almost choking on it, it was so thick. But why would there be blood if the room had been empty? That was what he didn't understand. His gaze drifted around the room, trying to take everything in...

...and there, at the center, was a body.

It seemed to be the source of the smell. Was this another student...? Oh Jack, he hoped not. Steadying his trembling hands, Ulka walked forward. He really didn't want to see a dead body, but... Pachua and his friends had been taking them to a special room. If this was someone else who had been kidnapped, he needed to know. That way, he could help.

With one claw, as to not disturb the body below, Ulka pulled back the sheet. Immediately, he felt like being ill.

Alex. It was Alex. How... How had they gotten him, too?! His best friend was mangled, almost unrecognizable, but Ulka could tell. He had the same soft face, same bird legs...

And the machine suddenly beeped.

Giving an unhappy cry, Ulka quickly grabbed the tools from the nearby table. He had to try- had to do something, instead of letting his best friend die! They had just found each other again- it couldn't end like this!!!

Okay. Okay. He had at least skimmed those books, and he had a decent idea of what the body looked like. He could do this.

Drawing a deep breath, Ulka began his work.

[ ROOM B1/HALLWAY ]

FAILURE.

It had seemed, for a glimmer of a moment, Ulka could do it. It didn't seem so hard. But just as he turned to wipe his eye with the back of his paw, the machine went steady.

Alex was dead.

He did not carefully set the tools back down. They fell from his paws to the floor, clanging every which way, and Ulka stared at his friend mutely. His best friend was dead, and he had done it.

He had killed him.

Ulka tried to breathe. He did. But the breaths came short and unsteadily, and his nerves would not calm. Alex should've been safe at amity, waiting for him. Smiling and laughing and in classes. Instead, he was here. Cold on the table and dead.

There was a letter in his hand, but Ulka couldn't handle it. If it was to him, and was happy and kind where he had failed...

Choking back a sob, Ulka turned and fled the room. He had killed Alex.

The hallway was not comforting, but it was still better than that room. That smell. Hitting a corner at full speed, Ulka tumbled to the floor. How...? How had he killed his best friend...?

The little bear boy did not get back up. There was no point. Instead, he curled in the corner, sobbing to himself and murmuring 'I'm sorry'.

His papa had been right. He really was worthless, after all.

"Teddy?" Pachua's plans were briefly interrupted by the reactions of the plush-boil. Especially when he returned to the hall, curling into a corner and weeping

It was well against his better judgement but he held up a hand to those who might have meant to follow him upstairs and moved cautiously to see what the room held.

The blood was all too striking against the sheer white of the room, it almost seemed to suck light from the air and yet it was so perfectly vivid. His mouth went dry and his heart hammered against his ribs like a ritual drum, the sacrifice laid out before him covered in a clinging bloodied shroud. He felt the prickle of fear surging in his limbs, nausea in his gut as he tore his eyes away, not wanting to see, not wanting to hear the mechanical beep-beep that seemed to replace a heart he knew would be missing. Spots fragmented the edge of his vision so afraid to move forward was he.

The chairs, some spattered some not, seemed almost ceremonial, no surprise given his culture, his family. He stepped forward with hesitant and jerky motions. So much like a puppet, a doll tugged helplessly forward till he saw the name.

"Oh Jack...." He said his breath a whisper torn from his lips.

"M...Mai?" But how? How could it be her? She was a ghost, how could they have laid hands on her?

He pulled back the sheet and confirmed to his horror everything he feared. How anyone could have done such a thing to another student, all in the name of a 'social experiment'
He started to stammer some half hearted promise that she would be alright, and then...

The machine beeped a terrible warning and with his own heart rising to the back of his mouth in panic he stumbled into action. What he knew was so rooted in more grizzly things and darker expectations he expected only failure and tears, much like the poor boil who had gone before. He never expected to hear the machine return to a steady pulse.

He thought she whispered for him to go on without her, and he did not want to, there was a letter curled into those pale fingers and blu and black painted fingernails. He took it carefully and unrolled it, reading breathlessly what she said as the key rested for a moment at the bottom of the curl of paper, he took it carefully to read the last of the letter, eyes prickling with the hope inscribed there that he would save her, that HE of all boils would somehow save her.

The letter began to crumble in his hands... And with it the room changed. Had any of it been real? He couldn't be sure any more, too many strange things already lay unexplained before them.

He tucked the key carefully into the waist of his 'skirt' for now, uncertain if he would search that room now or take the poor dead Ghoul to somewhere that Llyr might be safer waiting in, and walked back out of the room on trembling feet.

"Teddy... Teddy it was, it was an illusion, it faded away, whatever you saw, it wasn't real. Here, help Llyr take the poor ghoul to the second floor alright?"

If Aurel was annoyed by the opposition, he did nothing to show it. Remi did make sense - he just didn't like the idea of everyone splitting up. When Pachua asked for a map he pulled one of the crumpled Floor 2 maps from his pocket and handed it over to him, placing the other two (keeping one for himself) on the floor. "Well, let us go look, then. Floor 2 maps are here." He said, making his way out of the room and stepping out into the hall.

The first room he tried to get into was B2.

Aurel frowned at the FEAR pulsating behind the obviously locked door. Taking his steak knife out of his pocket he scratched an X into the wood. He was going to start marking doors that seemed important.

Aurel moved on to the Supply closet and tried to open that

There is very little space to move around in here...
...because it seems that whoever stocked this room, stocked this room. The shelves, though organized, are packed so tightly it's a miracle that it even stays together. In front of the shelves are boxes with labels that suggest there are more than necessary of pretty much everything.

Thankfully, everything looks fairly new.

If you happen to look up, you will see "USE, BUT DO NOT ABUSE" written in still-drying red...paint?

Welcome to the (grossly) overstocked Storage Closet!

There is nothing to investigate here. What you see is what you get. You may, however, stuff your pockets with items. After all - you may need it in the future! But take into account the warning on the ceiling; too much of a good thing can and will be cut off.

Taking items from the storage closet:
  • You may take and hold a total of five items from this closet at any time.
  • If you use an item, you free up a spot - but remember you can only take items from this room every 48 hours!
  • Items can NOT be used in this room. There is simply no space!
  • This is a list of the items that you can see in the closet:
    Hospital gowns: 1 pack. Closed with a tie at the back.
    Box of bandaids: 1 pack contains 6 bandaids. Each bandaid will restore +2HP
    Blankets: 1 blanket. May provide comfort and warmth.
    Roll of Bandages: 1 bandage. Will restore +5hp
    Scalpels: 1 scalpel. Has no blades.
    Scalpel Blades: Pack of 3 blades. Each blade has 2 uses as a weapon (use regular attack dice).
    Flashlights: 1 Flashlight.
    Box of Matches: 1 pack contains 6 matches. Each match lasts 2 posts unless ???.
  • If you would like to search the supply closet for an item not listed above, post in BOLD RED and quote The Escaped to see if it's there!

Holy mother of grails! SCORE. Aurel cheered up significantly finding the supply closet, rummaging around and opening up boxes and looking at pictures because - damn, boy couldn't read. "HEY! I found a supply closet!" he yelled as loud as he could. "Come get supplied!"

Aurel grabbed a roll of bandages, a scalpel, and a pack of the blades. His steak knife was useful - but it wasn't sharp.

Aurel also searched for a satchel of some sort to carry items in.

Aurel would take what he could get. He took the plastic bag and also grabbed one of the hospital gown.

Once he had his fill of the closet he stepped out and sat on the floor. The gown was placed in the bag, unfolded, and used the ties to attach to the handle. The cloth, while not thick, would offer a reinforcement to the plastic bag. He didn't want to lose anything he put in it due to tears. Once he was satisfied he placed the scalpel, the pack of blades, and the bandage in it followed by his map, and the NOPE key. The steak knife still stayed in his pocket - but he'd have to find someone to help him put together the scalpel.

The bag was slipped onto his arm and he went to check out B4
