October was always a month that Hania both looked forward to and did not. After all there was always costumes and candy to see and have, but there was also an underlying tension to him during that time. Not only was it part of the weird holiday time that means that magical and bizarre things happen all month long, but also there was still the low hints of black cat discrimination that he had to be careful for. Too many believed in the superstitions of old to be fully comfortable just wondering around town the closer it for to the end of the month.
Right now Hania wasn't too worried about this however as it was late at night and he wasn't alone. Agrawain and himself had decided to patrol together, this being the Deep Space Senshi's first October on Earth to deal with. The Mauvian had just lead them to a park they planned on checking over for any nasty surprises when his front paw knocked into something small and round. Copper penny eyes looked down at the dice and gave a frown as the world shifted around them. "Oh dear. I've heard reports on these, we have to roll and cross a gameboard to break free."
~*~*~
It was slowly creeping up on a year that he had spend on Earth, only being able to visit his homeworld and unable to actually stay on it any longer. Agrawain couldn't say he was adjusted to it yet, nor could he say he was used to how there were regular times of the year where everyone knew that something would happen but could not actually stop whatever it was from happening. At least he was a bit more used to actually speaking to others, though he still wasn't comfortable staying around anyone for very long.
He was only a half step behind Hania when they arrived at the park and paused when the feline alien did, looking down to find a wooden dice of his own and could not resist the pull to pick it up. The darkness falling around them had him tensing up, and the words that Hania said wasn't enough to make him relaxed in the slightest. "We just roll?"

Hania nodded at the Senshi's question and carefully curled a paw around the wooden dice to pick it up. He used his claws to help hold it as he looked it over. It was a fairly unassuming but pretty dice to look at, belaying the fact that it trapped people in a what was either an elaborate illusion or managed to be the catalyst to bringing unsuspecting victims into another plane of existence. "I've heard that there isn't anything truly dangerous to it, but it will be unnerving as we cross it." The Guardian carefully rolled the dice in front of him, not too far so he could pick it up easily again for the next roll.
As the dice landed on a three, he looked up at the pathway before them, catching the different symbols on them but unable to understand them. With a sigh, he carefully scooped up the dice and walked forward three squares. When he came to a stop on the third, a fog rolled in and surrounded him. Even with his feline eyesight it was hard to make out details of the world around him. "I'm fine, just can't see well." He called out to Agrawain to reassure the Senshi. He did however just about jump out of his fur when the Senshi passed by him towards his own square ahead, having seemed like a shadow passing through the swirling fog.Hania: space 3/20 Quote: A strange fog rolls in once you land here. You lose sight of nearly everything, including the game board. If you want to roll, you’re going to have to get close to the ground to even see where you’re supposed to go next. Hopefully nothing sneaks up behind you. ~*~*~ Agrawain scowled at the dice in his hands as Hania explained farther about what to expect for what they were about to experience. He knew well that just because something was supposed to not be truly dangerous could in fact be dangerous, be it physical, mental, or emotional. Reluctantly he let the dice in his hands drop to see where it would land.
He watched it land on a five and he scooped it back up in time to watch Hania move onto the gameboard's pathway. He was about to step on to get to his own square when the third spot and Hania was swallowed up in a fog. Thankfully the Mauvian called out to him quickly enough that Agrawain just pushed forward to his own space. When he stopped on the space, he could suddenly hear and practically feel a very angry dog. His eyes dilated in the surprise of it and he started to let out a fierce growl in return. If it turned out to be a real creature, he would fight back using tooth and claw if he had to.Agrawain: space 5/20 Quote: A dog barks, fierce and frightening. You can hear its growl and the hackles stand up on the back of your neck. You can practically feel spittle on you. It’s close. And it’s big. And it’s angry. If this beastly dog could reach you, no doubt it would try to tear you to shreds.

...Hania: space 9/20 Quote: The smell of saltwater fills the air, and you can hear the water lapping against the shore. You hear boards creaking, and bells in the distance. And then, a song. Haunting. Ghostly, and calling you. For a second, you fall in love. And then, water fills your lungs. You’re choking, you can’t breathe. The song is loud and seems to caress you, even as a wet chill gathers in your square. Scaly hands reach for you, you gently caressing, and try to lure you into an endless sleep. ~*~*~ ...Agrawain: space 9/20 Quote: The smell of saltwater fills the air, and you can hear the water lapping against the shore.

...Hania: space 10/20 Quote: A swampy smell fills the air. You take a step, and you seem to sink into it. Mud creeps over your feet, and you sink rapidly. Ankle deep, knee deep. Whether or not you squirm and fight against it, you are sinking. The mud is crushing and painful, and if you sink too deep it steals the breath from your lungs. There’s nothing to grab onto; you have to roll your dice quickly before that too gets sucked into the muddy quicksand. ~*~*~ ...Agrawain: space 11/20 Quote: You hear a frantic flapping above you, but that’s all the warning you get before a hoard of bats descend. They scratch and slap and screech, but you avoid getting bitten. For now. You’ve invaded their space and they seem keen to defend it. You can try to fight them, but the only way to escape them is to roll again.

...Hania: space 12/20 Quote: The smell of smoke is in the air. You can’t see what’s burning, but you can hear distant screams, and–carnival music? It feels like people are running past you, and the air fills with panic and alarm–but there’s nowhere for you to go, and the smoke is so thick. You’d better roll quickly so you can get out of here. ~*~*~ ...Agrawain: space 14/20 Quote: The ground is sticky. You land on this and immediately dip, as though you’ve stepped on a trampoline. Close inspection reveals that you are standing on an intricately woven web–and your shoes are stuck. And something is skittering just on the horizon.

You pass through a haze of strange, green gas as you enter the square, but it fades after a few seconds. You feel cold. You feel empty. You start to decay. Maybe a part of you knows it’s an illusion, but in that split second when your body feels like it might go limp and when you look at your hand and see skin melting. You see bone. You’d best roll the dice so you don’t wind up a skeleton prop for the next player.

...Hania: space 20/20 (sixth roll so double of 5) Quote: The end; once you have arrived here you are free to leave. You will see be basked in the glow of a beautiful, opalescent aura that will take you back home. If you arrived with a guest, you can leave without them or choose to stay until they make it to the end as well. When you arrive back in Destiny City, you may choose to keep the six sided die–if nothing else, it’s pretty! Though, it doesn’t seem to have any magical qualities, that might be for the best. ~*~*~ ...Agrawain: space 20/20 Quote: The end; once you have arrived here you are free to leave.
