She'd gotten away from the corpses, the people she knew only not because it wasn't real no, don't think about it -

She'd gotten away. Wandering aimlessly, she tried to keep to a direction but she had a feeling it wasn't quite working - the voices were still there and sometimes she thought she saw a familiar face out of the corner of her eye, but they were always gone when she turned to see.

Eventually, though she had no concept of how long exactly, she made it to the rusted gates of a building. Finally, something tangible, a landmark - she passed the gates, nearing an old building that seemed to have been a hospital. 'Have been' as it was abandoned, save for the undying roaming around - at least as far as she could tell.

She made her way to an entrance, peeking in; not that there was much to peek at. Pitch black, and a silence that was almost more nerve-wracking than the noises outside.

Backing away, scratching idly at an arm, she made the decision to stay away from it, at least for now. She'd explore the outside, see if she couldn't find something useful there.

OOC: SCENARIO 9

Scenario requirements: gaia_crown [ PROMPT 9 ][ OUTSIDE ] Thorns
You reach a long barricade of thorns on the other side of the wall. They seem to be moving, pulsating with a life of their own and gift out a strange light. Flowers begin to bloom on the wall. When you press your hand against one, you are immediately assaulted with a strange vision (roll 1d6 to see what it is).

1. You see a skyscraper. At the very top there is a greenhouse. You feel yourself hovering above the greenhouse before diving right into it. There is a beautiful garden inside it, almost like a biodome. In the center of the biodome is what looks like some sort of chalice

2. You see hundreds of dead bodies, and a strange feeling washes over you. Apathy. You stand over the bodies and continue searching for at least one survivor. You hear yourself speak. "Are humans really so fragile?"

3. You fight against humans, but this time they are armed. Their weapons hurt. You are frustrated. They are eligible, but none of them will truly accept your wisdom. You kill many without ever feeling accepted. The feeling continues until the vision is over.

4. You fight against creatures of shadows, what you would consider your own breathren. They come in all shapes and sizes, large beasts and dragons, demons and even the undead. They refuse your knowledge. They are not compatible. They beg, negotiate and even fight against you to stop. You assimilate them for their treachery and refusal to serve.

5. You sleep in a long chamber of vines. Inside it are rows and rows of crystals. Each one is important to you. You tap against one, and it resonates, and you feel a strange sense of satisfaction. This is the power you have collected from those living and dead.

6. [ There is no actual image in this vision. Instead, you are assaulted with hundreds, thousands of conflicting thoughts, emotions, and ideals, all of them not your character's own. Your actual character's nose begins to bleed, and they fall to the ground, convulsing. They are unable to roll any other visions from the above if they reach this prompt and eventually pass out ].

Otherwise, you may continue rolling until you have fulfilled the 250 word requirement for it!

When the event is over, add +10 infection to your character's imnfection meter

She'd roamed around for a while, avoiding the undying and hiding when needed. Everything itched and she'd already left several red welts on her skin from scratching; consciously, Sylvi tried to hold back from doing so again.

It was hard not to, at least when she was crouched down waiting for one of the undead to pass her by. Nothing was attacking her but it felt like she was being watched, as if something knew where she was - she turned, hoping to catch whatever it was but there was nothing there. A flash of a familiar face on the outskirts of her sight, but again she turned and there was nothing. It worrying. It was infuriating. Whatever this was, whatever might be lurking, it should at least have the bloody decency to come out and attack her head on!

Not these mind games. She scowled, got up from her hiding spot and very purposefully walked around the side of the hospital, keeping her head high and glaring around. She sure as hell wasn't a coward, and she'd face this properly.

Marching around didn't seem to get her much of anywhere though, until she finally reached something of notice - a large barricade, made up entirely of vines and thorns. Mostly thorns. She briefly considered climbing it just to see if there was anything on the other side, but she wasn't quite addled enough yet to try; those thorns looked sharp and there were dozens, hundreds of them, as far as the eye could see. They seemed to be moving, pulsating almost while giving off an odd sort of light. It was weird, to say the least.

She moved alongside the barricade, looking for openings or anything of note, really just trying to figure out what the hell to make of this. Nothing made sense anymore, nothing at all - couldn't the world have the ******** decency to be normal about something?

Sylvi was grumbling to herself, moving, when she finally noticed that something was happening other than the strange pulsating of the thorns - tiny little flower buds were blooming on the vines, becoming larger and more vibrant by the second. She watched in fascination, absentmindedly moving closer to them. It was almost... beautiful, really. Something pretty in all this nastiness.

Slowly she reached out, gently touching the petals of one of them -

- and then she was somewhere else, watching a towering skyscraper from afar. Somehow it was verdantly green at the top, not at all matching the rest of the building.

And then suddenly she was looking at it from a different vantage point; floating above it, she could see that the green was what looked like a greenhouse, flora of all sorts bursting with beautiful colour.

She dove in with hardly a thought, and the colour was even more fantastic up close. It was breathtaking, the most wonderful thing she'd ever seen. It was so alive, not dead and dying or filled with the undead. She moved around, gradually coming towards the center - the center which seemed to hold some sort of chalice-like object, she saw as she came closer.

How curious! Moving as if under a spell, she made her way closer to the chalice, reaching out a hand with childlike curiousity -

- and then she was back at the wall of thorns, cheeks wet with tears and an aching to be back at the beautiful garden.
