Character's name: Max Porter Character's faction: Prison Character's journal link:x Character's survival stats:x BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER: Dark brown hair and eyes. Light brown skin. Average build. Five feet, ten inches tall. Frown.
Due to confusion, the following labeling will be created for your characters:
VICTIM: That is your original disposable character you started off with in the meta. They are currently unconscious/ in deep sleep and do not seem to be waking anytime soon even with ridiculous noise/disruption.
RESCUER: That's who you are currently rping! This is the person rescuing your disposable! So yes, technically you are rping a character rescuing your disposable, yes.
Take a look at the 1d10 you rolled in your first post. That is the amount of yards you have traveled away from the portal. Go ahead and start dragging them back through the fog. This is entirely rped so you can drag them back however you want. For Halloween students, your strength has been nerfed slightly, and are now proportional to a Human's strength. For a Hunter, the fog is sapping your strength, making you more lethargic. Your movement and strength is slowed down to a regular civilian's.
For this part, also keep in mind the height and weight of your victim when you take it into RP accord. As your characters are in a very densely populated part of the hospital, hitching a ride via any form of vehicle is not an option right now.
In addition to this place's dreariness and lack of... anything, really, something was off. Some invisible force was sapping his FEAR, and it wasn't long before Bren's levitation spell wore off and the human he was carrying became uncomfortably heavy. He slogged on, sighing every few feet or so, the portal ahead feeling farther and farther away with every step he took.

[ Step 3 ] You did it!
Once you have finally rped getting to the portal, after all your rescuer's blood, sweat and tears, you can go ahead and throw them into the portal and follow afterwards.
As you do you and the victim suddenly end up not anywhere safe and definitely not back to where you started. Instead, it seems like you are somewhere on a long stretch of (Human) highway. There is a very tall skyscraper next to you, covered entirely in vines, though the top of the skyscraper seems to have shattered. It hurts your head to look at the buildilng, but as you turn away, you feel something shaking around you:
Behind you is a ridiculously tall creature made of ??? and vines. It doesn't even seem to be made of Fear. It spans nearly fifty feet, and while at a distance it may have looked like some sort of mutated horse, it begins to unravel, hundreds of vines twisting into claws, and then fingers to grasp at you.
Pick the ones applicable to your character, click the spoiler below and then follow the steps given. This one should be your THIRD rp post in that thread.
gaia_starIf you are a student/guest student/ FROM HALLOWEEN:
More tendrils unravel from the cage of the creature and you hear something whisper in your head. It hurts, and nearly causes you to lose consciousness.
We will consume you and your Fear will be ours.
You suddenly realize all the hundreds, thousands, of tendrils are creatures from Halloween that have been consumed. Their Fear resonates with you, and they scream in agony and confusion no longer themselves. Their loss of identity shakes you to your core.
Without the fog sapping your strength, you feel a renewed power as you pick up the victim and begin to sprint out. You are actually able to take on your natural form at this point to make it faster (where applicable), though the overwhelming crushing nausea of the thing chasing you makes it impossible for you to fly any higher than a few feet off the air. You run. It chases.
Now, write a post in REACTION to what has happened in the entirety of STEP 2 for your RESCUER. You may now choose to continue to run (go to next step) OR stop a little to fight the boss. If you do, the boss has ???/??? HP. If your character (RESCUER) successfully does more than 10 damage to it (remember GUEST STUDENTS Have 2d6-6 dice and QUEST HUNTERS have 2d8-6 dice) you manage to repel it a little bit ICly and it gives your character a bit of a breather. This post should be the exclaimSECOND rp post in your thread!
Lowering the human to the ground once he had reached their destination, Bren stared into this portal too, his lips puckered in a frown and his eyes narrowed. He was supposed to bring his charge through, meaning... enter himself, but this whole trip was not turning out like he thought it would and he doubted going through another portal was going to help. On the other hand, there was little else to do, seeing as how the way back to Halloween Town had sealed as soon as he had arrived. Still, he hesitated.
Bren shook his head twenty minutes later. If he didn't move, he'd never get home.
Shoving the man through the portal as gently as he could, Brenley followed, landing on a desolate stretch of highway, the likes of which the reaper had never seen. A broken building loomed in the distance, but it was uncomfortable to focus on, so he bent to lift the human instead, only to be confronted by a massive, viney horse.
"Dear Ja—oww!" Bren said, his murmured exclamation cut off by a whine of pain. The thing was... not natural and it was coming right for him, hissing about taking his FEAR and waving the limbs of creatures who had been caught, like he would be if he didn't hurry up. Fear gave the boil strength. He hoisted the human in his arms and ran as quickly as he could.

[ Step 4 ]
As you run, the skyscraper, the entire city bursts into vines. You keep on running. You can't afford to look back. Eventually, you reach a long empty expanse of highway with nowhere to hide. The fog thickens again, heavily weakening your character, locking them in their natural forms (for Halloween) and stopping weapons from their true potential (Hunter). All you know is that you need to get away from the thing.
Pick the ones applicable to your character, click the spoiler and then follow the steps given. This one should be your exclaim THIRD rp post in your solo thread.
gaia_star[ IF YOUR CHARACTER IS A STUDENT ]
First, you must pick a vehicle of transport:
gaia_star[ If the victim has earned CAR KEYS ] (dont' worry if you haven't been granted them yet, as long as you claimed for it!), this translates to your rescuer finding a car along the highway with the car keys STILL INSIDE it. Looks like you got super lucky! If your character cannot drive you can either have them "fake it" (how hard can it be to press a gas pedal!) or choose another option. Cars in the human world are pretty much identical to Halloween ones, except Halloween cars are way spoopier.
Roll 1d6 to see which car you find. This is what kind of car you will be rping for this post:
1. Some sort of tiny motorbike (vespa)? Oh well, it seems to fit two humans! It was the only thing you could find in such a limited time okay! (SPEED VALUE +1)
2: A really cool car that has rust and looks actually like a car from Halloween! Too bad it is so slow. (SPEED VALUE +2)
3: A car that is as boring as Humans are! At least the inside seems to be slightly moldier. (SPEED VALUE +3)
4. A really, really square car that reminds you of Monster Cars from Halloween, without the "Monster" in it. You like the space in it at least! (SPEED VALUE +4)
5. A SPEED VALUE nice car that does not seem to have a car roof for some reason. Is this a Human world thing? It drives super fast though! (SPEED +5)
6. The weirdest car you have ever seen. It is seriously flat, and shiny, and really weird. Oh well, beggars cannot be choosers. The good news is when you press against the pedal it pretty much ZOOMS REALLY FAST AWAY. Humans were meant to do cool things after all! (SPEED VALUE +6).
Now, with your method of transport you need to escape the highway passage! The exit route is 10 kilometers, one highway ride straight down. You can clearly feel the proper portal just mere moments again. You start hauling it! Roll 1d6 then add the SPEED VALUE to your dice roll. This is the distance you travel per post before the boss chasing you catches up. If it catches up to you, it hits you for -5 damage to your poor car (and you + the victim!) Keep on rolling until you escape! You may not roll multiple times. RP OUT EACH ROLL PLEASE.
When you finally make the 10 kilometers distance, proceed to STEP 4. Make sure you have rped out your reaction to all of entire step 3. You are almost there!
gaia_star[ EXAMPLE RP OF STEP 3: ] - Bob creates an ESCAPE SOLO. Bob reads the following and write a quick reaction post to running away, and finding a car. In the same post, Bob rolls 1d6 and rolled a 6 and got the sports car! He edits that same post to pick up the victim and throw them into the sports car and begins to drive away, the crazy mass of Fear and vines chasing them the entire time when the communications headset finally sparks, telling Bob that a portal has been set up 10km straight down the highway! - Now that Bob has a car, Bob makes a new post and rolls 1d6 to see how far they have gotten before the boss catches up. They roll 1d6 and get a 3. The ferrari has a speed +6, so that is 9 km covered! The boss hits them all for -5 damage, and dents the car a lot. Edit this post and RP it out. - Now they make another post and roll again for 1d6. This time they roll a 1. 9+1 by default = 10km TOTAL so they make it to the portal! Edit this post and rp it out. - Bob has made it! Proceed to the next post below.
He had a lot of regrets. But at the forefront of Brenley's mind was one thing: Where would he reappear if he dissipated here? He strongly doubted there were any pumpkin patches in this place. The thought kept him running at a pace his everyday self would envy, and when he slid himself and his human into the first car he saw that wasn't blocked in by another, he turned the key in the ignition without thinking. Thank Jack for all of those books on humans he had read. They were tomes of lies for the most part, but some of them held the tiniest bits of the truth, like how to start a human world car.

It was too bad that he had never read a thing about actually driving. The only reason he went anywhere at all was because the car had been resting on an incline.

Bren pressed the horn, hoping it would make the thing go. Instead, it just seemed to aggravate the horse. It let out a furious neigh somewhere behind him.

Finally he found the gas pedal. Besides causing a burst of speed that nearly made him wet himself, it also got the reaper and the human a sufficient distance away from the horse and the vines and everything. Plus, driving was kind of fun.

[ Step 5 ] PORTAL, ATTEMPT 2!
As you finally (both Halloween AND Hunter) step towards your respective portals, the VICTIM suddenly grabs a hold of you and attacks you with a rather impressive strength!
You must now fend off the VICTIM and try to drag them into the portal. Just create an RP post as you try your best to fight off the victim. This wastes precious time and by the time you finish fighting them, you realize the portal is gone.
CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE NOW STRANDED
That's it! You're done the solo part! Please RP out what you need, then continue to the post (STAGE 3) below for some quality PRP time!
He was still shaking when the car finally drifted to a stop. The portal loomed ahead, and even though he was afraid this one might close too, Bren remained seated, shutting his eyes and catching his breath. He seemed to have lost the horse. It was the only good thing that had happened all day. Eventually he opened the door and slid the man out of the car. Unable to lift him, Bren dragged the unconscious human toward the portal. He was almost there when the man's eyes slowly creaked open. He blearily focused on Brenley, and then he began to struggle.
"No no no no no, stop." He grabbed the human's wrists and forced them against his chest, surprised that he could do so with little effort. "I'm trying to get you—"
One of the man's arms escaped his grip. The human balled his fist and punched Brenley squarely in the jaw. The boil returned the favor, once again hitting a bit too hard. The man's head hit the ground and lolled to one side. Thankfully, he was still breathing. Bren could only hope he wasn't otherwise damaged.
