Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

@Estylwen Heey lovey! As you know I got back yesterday from camp, and I am very sick! Camp was nice, though. I am just catching up on sleep and everything. I need to catch up reading, too, and then I'll be able to write! <3

@Days

Oops! Right I almost forgot. Glad camp went alright, take some rest. Would you like to post after Angel or do you think you'll be alright?

Your worst fears are realized.

You didn't think much of it, dropping off your child at the local daycare. A new place, with painted hills and blue skies on the walls. You went to work, thinking nothing of it. Until, finally, you came to pick up your precious child.

When everything was shattered with a scream you knew too well. The scream of your child.

The scream caused you to fall into a wall.

You thought you were still in the daycare. But everything looked… different. The attendants were missing. Your child also, was missing. You began running down halls, only to realize they spanned on endlessly. To turn back, you had already lost your way.

You've ended up in a strange world indeed.

The world of the backrooms beckons you to complete its tests and unravel its mysteries. Done well, and you may please the backrooms enough to earn your freedom, and find that lofty exit sign.

Fail to impress, or cheat your way through, and you will find the backrooms to be a very, very hostile place.

Remember, your child is somewhere here, crying. You must find them before time runs out, and make an escape for the both of you.

The Backrooms

The backrooms are considered to be the backdrop of reality, existing underneath or outside of everything. To reach the backrooms, one has to no-clip, or glitch into it. To escape the backrooms, one has to complete the challenges presented by the backrooms represented by levels. Every level completed brings a person closer to the exit, and escaping the backrooms back to reality.

In the backrooms, it's necessary to look for food and water, as resources are few, and it's possible to die of lack of food and water.

The backrooms is home to mystery, with clues painted on the walls. Unraveling its secrets can give a person an edge in traveling the levels.

The backrooms is also plagued by mysterious entities. These entities often seek to cause harm to persons in the backrooms, and should be avoided. Some, however, are benign, and may offer insights or help.

Tips on How to Play

x Each room has a specific purpose, and has a different level of survivability. Keep your wits about you as you venture.
x It is recommended to draw a map of where you've been to keep track of your location, and make backtracking easier.
x Since each player is in their own parallel dimension, the only way to interact with each other is to affect the rooms. You can affect rooms by moving objects, leaving notes, and solving puzzles. Other players will be able to see these.
x You will be informed when you have completed a level, and have moved closer to the exit.

---

The Rules:

x No godmodding. You control your player, and that's it. This will be strictly enforced.
x Post at least once a week. Those who go longer than two weeks without posting may find their character met with a terrible fate.
x Player death is a very real likelihood. Be prepared to make new CS sheets in the event you don't make it. Your next spawn will be closer to the exit to make your next playthrough a bit easier.
x GM and Co-GM have the final say.
x Ideas and collaboration are recommended. Have fun while you solve puzzles and explore!

Thanks @Lexisheeps! Welcome @Vertigo! And enjoy the show, @Expllo.

We have enough people now! I'll have the OOC up today.

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

@Estylwen Since we'll be in a collab-heavy period, I'm thinking we could have a side-story scene with Headmaster Ashan and Matriarch Jezebel. Maybe she's there during the timeskip period to teach at the College, officially at least, while behind the scenes, she'd be scheming with the headmaster, maybe with the goal of sabotaging the Royal Gardeners. Hey, anything to help realizing her daughter's mission (Read: her ambitions) easier. 😏

@Izurich

The post looks great! Will Kronos be headed toward the Ravenfell castle?

Sure! That sounds good to me. Feel free to write out an intro and PM it to me!

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

Side note but those parchments/letters were a nice touch! I did struggle a bit trying to reach them though... Damn you, cursive.

Will have an NPC sheet for you to look at soon(-ish).

Just had a quick question on Ravenfell: is it common knowledge that its people are (pretty much) ghosts?

@Irradiant

Glad you liked the notes! Sorry, I know theyre a bit hard to read. If you needed the text copy, I would be happy to write it out again for you. ^^;

Sounds good on the NPC sheet!

Yep! Word would travel as merchants would travel the road across the border. They tend to stay away from Athroyeaux, thinking it's cursed.
