One way or another, you find yourself going down into the subway system. The tunnel is long and you cannot see where the end is from where you stand. Only the platform is really lit. Further into the tunnel, the light flickers on and off. Graffiti lines the wall and there's trash littered about all over the place. That isn't it, as a light haze flows over the floor, just above the rusted train tracks.
The place is silent. The only sound that resonates is from the lights, as they come to life and die once more. Your footsteps echo off the walls. As for the stench? It's musty.
And yet, something draws you to delve further in.
Somehow, you can tell that something big awaits at the other end.
Take heed. As with all other places here, there is more to this subway than meets the eye.

THE RUN Overall mechanics - Your character begins with 10 sanity points. As they go through this, they may increase. Should your character reach 0 points, they find themselves unable to continue and flee back to the beginning. Oddly enough, should this happen, the starting platform will be much quicker to reach compared to how long they've been traveling in the tunnel.
Phase 1
As the light flickers, the scene around you begins to shift. Each time the tunnel is visible, you find the tunnel change. These happen in a blink of an eye.
THE MECHANICS Roll 1d4. You must roll 3 times to continue. Roleplay out your reactions accordingly. You may roll them all in the same post or separately.
1 - When the light returns, the scent of blood becomes overwhelming. All around, you see maimed and disemboweled forms around. Should you take a closer look, you see faces that seem to be familiar. Whether or not you know who they were, you can see the sheer look of terror forever frozen in place. [-1 sanity]
2 - The tunnel seems normal as usual, as you continue on. [No change]
3 - As the light returns, you realize that your shadow grows. It shifts and creates a twisted image. Out of the corner of your eyes, you can see it moving in a way that doesn't mirror your own movements. It seems to try to loom over you. As you try to get a better look at it, your shadow snaps back to how it should be. The moment you look away, it begins to change again. [-1 sanity]
4 - The fog seems to grow thicker, but nothing out of the ordinary occurs. [No change]
Phase 2
Deeper into the tunnels, the lights are no longer there. It's pitch black. Thankfully, the tunnel is straight, so it isn't hard to tell if you're going in the right direction. Just take care to not trip over the tracks.
THE MECHANICS Roll 1d6 - Do this three times and roleplay it out accordingly. You may roll them all in the same post or separately.
1 - Nothing out of the ordinary occurs as you move in the darkness. [No change]
2 - As you walk along, you suddenly feel a breath down the back of your neck. It's hot and ragged, and at some point, you could swear you feel what could be drool fall onto you as well. Any attempt to feel anything behind you yields no results. [ No Change ]
3 - Where there was silence before, you now hear something scraping against metal nearby. The sound is grating to your nerves, and it lasts for what seems to be forever. [-1 sanity]
4 - The ground used to be firm, but as you walk, you suddenly find yourself slowly begin to wade in something warm and wet. The scent soon becomes rather putrid and overpowering, as if something is decaying. The substance you walk in is fairly thick, though still fluid. Now and then you feel something a little more solid bump into you. Sometimes it's hard, other times, it's rather mushy. [-1 sanity]
5 - You suddenly begin to hear whispers. They're barely audible, so you can't make out what's being said, but they're there. And they seem to be all around. Whatever they're saying, they sound angry. You can practically feel the malice. Something does not want you here. [-1 sanity]
6 - It's dark, but that's about it. [No change]
Phase 3
You've made it this far. And now you can see again. Despite everything that has happened in the dark, you find yourself just as you were before you began this trek. However, you aren't done just yet. You can now see a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Can you make it?
THE MECHANICS Roll 1d100. Continue to roll until you've passed or run out of sanity points. [1-10] You begin to hear a rumble. The floor begins to shake. That light was a train, and it's headed straight your way. [KO] [11-40] A sinister growl can be heard behind you. Looking back won't tell you anything. Whatever it is, it's coming your way. Quickly. [ No Change ] [41-80] The walls begin to bleed. You can hear faint screams of terror and pain resounding throughout the tunnel. [-1 sanity] [81-100] You make it to the end of the tunnel finally. [pass]

So you've made it to the end...
Coming out of the tunnel, you find yourself at... the starting platform, staring down into the tunnel you supposedly had just traversed into. Did you really walk the path? Do you feel a little different at least.

A tunnel? Problem. Except his shadow grew. Then not. Then again. Wait...
