She stopped in her tracks. Thorns coated the wall. She was warned against them. That felt so long ago. And yet, as she stood there, Candice didn't feel fear. She was sick.
"Go on Candy, it won't hurt you..." She heard her sister whisper in her ear. She turned, and Trish wasn't there.
Candice listened though, approached the thorns, the source. As she did magnificent flowers bloomed. The prettiest things she had seen since it all started. Since the thorns started it?
She reached out to one, wanting the beauty, to be lost in it. To forget the phone calls and fog and faces.
Quote:
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.
Candice knew once again she was asleep. Even sleep brought no comfort, and she recoiled from the thoughts of her last dream. Still she found comfort in the vines that made up the chamber and it's walls. She stood up and walked along it. It was dark, but not the sort of lurking dark that lingered in the real world now. Where they wrong about the vines? Or was this part of the sickness. Candice was sure of nothing now.
Deeper down the chamber she could see glowing lights. As she approached she found crystals. Some shown greater than others and she reached out for one. She felt light, and if filled her with a strange but not unwelcome sense of satisfaction. What where they? Something powerful, she could tell.
OOC: SCENARIO 9
Scenario requirements: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
