[IC] World Of Colors

[XxLyraxX]

Level 1 - White Room

What a strange place this is...

You awake in a room much similar to the one you had just been in. It looks almost identical to the main Gallery area but...why are the lights out? And where was everybody? You can wander the entire Gallery but will find no one. The door will not budge no matter how much you beat on it and all the windows are locked with no way to break them. The world outside it as dark as night with no light shining out in the darkness. As you awaken you notice that you are not alone; there are others waking up around you wondering the same question:

Where am I?

As everyone awakens they will notice that stamped on the floor in front of them are blue letters:
"Come play below with me~"

An arrow points upstairs where you will find that the rope safe-guarding the Abyss of the Deep has been moved with a blue arrow pointing at the painting.

Do you dare take the plunge?

Primrose

Thick lashes flutter back to reveal magenta orbs, a dazed look in them. The eyes stared up at the ceiling for several moments before slowly looking around at the surroundings. A small hand came up to rub at them as the small girl slowly sat up, feeling slightly dizzy. What in the world happened? She had been happily looking at the artwork with Garry. Why was she on the floor? Had she fallen asleep? She continued to rub at her eyes as she climbed to her feet, looking around. Strange. This looked like the Gallery but why were all the lights out? And...Where was everyone? An uneasy feeling stole over her as she started around at her dim environment.

"G-Garry...?"

Her voice came out as a whisper, echoing slightly in the quiet room. A small whimpered bubbled up in her throat and she felt tears spring to her eyes. What happened? Where was her brother? She wanted to go home! A soft rustling sound drew her attention away from her panic and she whirled, gasping softly to see other people laying on the ground. Her eyes widened and she rushed over to a boy around her age with soft blonde hair. Se hesitantly reached out a hand and shook his shoulder.

"H-Hello? Are you alright?"

Allen

Allen made a soft noise as he awoke, blinking open his eyes. At first, he was very confused to find himself on the floor with a girl that had very long hair leaning over him. "Stella?" He mumbled as he slowly sat up. He rubbed at his eyes and discovered that this girl was in fact not Stella and he frowned at her. "Who are you? Where are we?" Now that he was looking around he realized that while this looked like the Gallery, something was different. Where were all the people? And were the lights out? Had they been locked in? He climbed to his feet, the girl at his side doing the side. He could see she looked nervously, hands clenching at the front of her dress and worrying her lip between her teeth. "My name is Primrose. A-And I think we're in the Gallery but it's dark and I don't know where everybody went."

Allen was alarmed to see tears in the girls eyes and felt panic rush through him. Like any boy of his age, he didn't know what to do with a crying girl. Trying to calm her down, he placed a hand gently on her shoulder. "It'll be okay. We'll figure something out." He gave her a comforting smile as he looked around them. As he took in his surroundings he blinked in surprise to see that there were more people lying on the ground like he had been. Geez, what in the world happened? He frowned worriedly and approached one the people laying on the ground.

"Hey, you alright?"

[Krauxis]

..."Hey, you alright?"...

Cat

This is... The gallery, wasn't it?

What had happened? Cat had been studying the paintings, of course, and then... the lights went out... right? And then... Nothing. She was drawing a major blank. Obviously if it had been under her own power, she'd have never elected to sleep on the floor. Thankfully it was just some dust that easily wiped off, but she still got the shivers thinking about it. Who had put her here? The obvious culprit was one of the other people laying around her, just a handful compared to those who had been in the gallery before. Most of the people around her were younger than her - children, really. With one notable exception, she didn't think there was anybody who could strongarm her, not to mention everybody else here as well. And that wasn't even taking into account the people absent from the museum. Of course, Cat had come here alone, so it wasn't out of the question that she'd be left behind, but these young kids probably had family with them, or at least some form of guardian. They wouldn't be left behind so easily.

Too much to think about right now. She needed to do something.

There was a young boy and girl who were already awake, but it looked like she'd been the third in line to regain consciousness. The young boy... had perhaps woken her up?

"...Yeah. I'm fine." Cat had gotten her bearings. There was no reason to be scared here. And neither of these two children could have knocked her out, so there was no reason to be suspicious of them.

"I guess you two don't know what's going on any more than I do, huh." She rolled through her options in her head. She'd like to get everyone... almost everyone... up and on their feet in case anybody knew what was going on, but somebody needed to take stock of the room, look for clues, etc. What was the right course of action? It took a moment, but she come to a sort of conclusion.

"Listen, do you two mind seeing about waking the others up? I'm... not the greatest with people, I don't want to scare anybody. I'd like to take a look around and see if I can figure out what's going on." She didn't know if taking charge of the situation was the best course of action for her; these kids didn't have any idea who she was, probably, and had no reason to listen to her But if anybody was going off clue-hunting alone, Cat would rather it be her and not them, for safety's sake. She'd stay close by if anything happened, though. Just in case...

Trilby

What the fuck happened? he looked around himself quickly and saw his cane laying beside him, Ben grabbed it and used it help himself up, he rubbed his head in an attempt to sooth his aching head as he tried to remember what he had been doing before waking up. he had been on the phone with Gin while going over some of the painting then...? 'i fainted? I think?' "Fuck why can't i remember anything else?" Ben reached into vest as to grab something but he found nothing "And now my god damn flask is gone!"

.."Hey You Alright?".. Ben looked down at the kid. 'how had i not noticed them before?' he scratched his head before answering "Not really Kid"

Ezra

A sharp gasp escaped Ezra's lips as she came to consciousness, her hand reaching towards her side where her pen had been jabbing into her hip. She angled it so it slid correctly into the pocket of her shorts, before her eyes began to adjust to the dark room. "What the.." she whispered harshly. Trying to remember what was going on before she was here. Was she drugged? Kidnapped? She hadn't even done any drugs before her interview in fear that she might have had to done testing on the spot.

The sound of voices chattering was admittedly frightening, and the bodies that seemed lifeless surrounding her was not helping the situation. Gathering strength, Ezra hoisted herself up into a sitting position and eventually got herself standing. She adjusted her clothing, running a hand through her dyed green hair. "What the hell happened?" Ezra demanded, originally not too concerned with how her tone sounded. It was then she noticed the voices were of children that she had some empathy. Her teeth sunk into her lips, before speaking again, "Sorry. language. Are you guys okay?" she asked, trying to make out the situation.

Lila

Lila was always a very heavy sleeper, and she enjoyed her naps. However, she hasn't ever picked the floor as a good napping place, and she had a feeling she hadn't today.

She slowly opened her eyes, only to find it wasn't bright enough to be cautious. She didn't recognize anything around her to be her room, or any other room in her house. In fact, the last thing she remembers is the gallery. She shouldn't be anywhere else. She heard other people's voices and saw people moving, but she didn't immediately recognize anyone. Slowly she woke herself up enough to be able pay attention, but by then she didn't have enough context to know what was happening.

"What's going on?" She asked groggily, though it was likely too soft for anyone to hear. She slowly pushed herself off the floor, with everyone either being just as confused as she is or just as asleep as she was. She softly shook the body next to her, figuring that the best way to figure out what was going on was to have everyone talk it out.

Tino

“Ouch…” A single groan could barely be heard as a young black-haired youth’s eyes squinted into the darkness. Tino lay on his back, his neck felt stiff in addition to his arms and legs. Unlike the familiar warmth of his home’s wooden floors or the fuzzy piles that was his pets, the ceramic tiles became last on his list of things to sleep on as its coldness breached his blue cotton sweater. His hazel gaze drifted from corner to corner. A few people loitered within sight.

Did he fell asleep on the tour guide’s endless droning? Did he tripped and knocked himself out? A prank? As he took a moment of silence, Tino felt something wasn’t quite right. It was the same room his class had entered yet this place looked completely different in the dark.

With a gasp, his body was shaken by someone. He turned his head to see a girl around his age with purple hair and matching eyes who asked him what’s happening. She looked equally as confused as he did if not a bit groggy. “Uh… Shouldn’t I be asking that too?” He could barely wrap his head around this curious situation. With a huff, he wriggled a bit on the ground before lifting himself up. When no answer came to mind, he shrugged. “Dunno. My mind is blanking out.”

He squinted into the unlit space until he could barely make out the shape of a lady with weird green hair. “I- I’m feeling a bit blind. Where the heck are the lights?” He asked, stumbling over to the nearest wall. It would really brighten his day if he could just find a darn light switch. He didn't have time for his eyes to adjust. Just what the heck is happening?

Daniel

---

A groan escaped Daniel's lips as he awoke. His mind was fuzzy, as if all his memories had been shoved into one of those old time telelvision sets. Everything was just a big blur. He remembered being at home, then driving in the car, then seeing the gallery, and then...then nothing. He had no clue of what happened or just where in the world he was.

Daniel bit back another groan as he struggled to sit up. A look around soon answered his last question. He was in a gallery, except at the same time it wasn't. It looked like the gallery, but it was darker. Much darker. His parents, once loudly bickering on the side, were no where to be seen or heard. The only ones present were several others laying around him, some older and some much younger. "What--" Daniel's voice croaked, and he coughed to steady it, "What's happening? What's going on?" The confused boy wobbled to a stand and took a hesitant step back. "Who are you people?"

[TheSeriousJoke]

After everyone's surprise question answer session, the room fell into silence. Lila didn't know what to do next. She had never seen anyone of these people before, and the same seemed true for them. The room at least was a bit more familiar, on a physical level, but something about it made it feel completely different. Not to mention waking up like this... Lila was starting to get uncomfortable with the strangeness of everything going on, so she decided to try and make things less strange.

“Hello! I'm Lila! I'm eleven years old, I'm an A/B student, my favorite superheroes are The Powerpuff Girls, and I came here with some friends of mine and then… I ended up like this.”
