Quote:
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 infection meter


When she burst outside the hospital doors again, Fantasia was out of breath and in a cold sweat. The image of her father might have disappeared, but in true ghostly fashion she was still haunted by all the things he had said, all the images she had been forced to consider, most especially that decline of his health into one of those monsters. It was enough to make anyone want to run.

And now she was outside again, and she had to wonder: where was safe anymore?

Wandering about, arms held close to her body to make herself appear smaller ( as if she needed any help hiding in this thick as hell and nauseating as ******** fog), Fantasia continued her meandering path to nowhere. She almost didn't blink when she encountered the vines. Thorny, softly glowing, exceedingly creepy: it met up to her expectations after hearing what the others had said about what they had heard and also probably confirmed what she had heard over at the top of the radio tower. She ought to just move away and try to find salvation somewhere else.

And yet there she went, tripping like a b***h right onto the collective of vines. She was pretty sure one of them was the culprit, ensnaring her like an unwitting fly to...she didn't know. Eat her.

But what she touched instead was a flower. And what she got was more than she could have imagined.

The miscreants really should have considered their futures a little better. Not that they could have done much better than their poor souls could have imagined: they were not eligible for what she had to give to the world, and hers was the best gift of all. Perhaps that was the reason they fought against her so stubbornly: they were simple ignorant. And in truth, there was no cure for it if they were so willing to throw themselves at her and die.

Death, dissipation--all wastes, even if they begged, even if they fought back, even if they demanded what they could not begin to understand. She chose to bring them into the fold, willingly or not. Their suffering was meant to be preserved, just as much as their joy and anger. And yes, even too their ignorance.

It was a great change of pace, but somehow the shock of seeing civilization again didn't phase her as much as it should have. She found herself floating as if in a dream over a large cityscape, in particular above the largest skyscraper among them. Color. She hadn't seen so much lush plant life since before the outbreak had even begun. And for once, seeing all the green didn't bother her like it had before, with green eyes being the beady things the undying always had. She wondered--

She didn't have to. Taysia found herself floating over easily on a breeze and even went so far as to melt through the glass and straight into the biodome. Such a curious place to have a greenhouse. Such a curioser place to have a grail that ornate.

And then abruptly the peaceful dreams were put to sleep with something violent. She jerked as she was assaulted with hundreds of emotions and images that weren't her own, and before she knew it, Taysia became a seizing, bloody mess on the floor.
