"Well... I'd still love to vet things, y'know? I'm not here to tell you how to live, but we're all responsible for your safety and your chance to learn, Layla."

Leon

Layla took a shaky breath, and nodded. ”Of course. You can be present for whatever you'd like, I want the Temple as involved as possible. When I go to visit uh, Luna's friends, I'll make sure you can tag along.”

”... Don't let it happen again, okay? I don't want you here, but obviously everyone else doesn't see the same way, so let's just stay away from each other. Capice?”

Drake

Luna threw up her hands in surrender. ”Capice.”

She wouldn't be the one to argue with that. It was a better outcome than she had hoped. Drake was gonna let it go, for now. Luna couldn't be happier. As long as she kept her distance, she was one step closer to delving deeper into the Coven. Spreading her roots.

Before all he'll broke loose with Clancy barging through the door, clearly in pain. She gaze at him dispassionately, head tilted in curiosity. His ‘innards’ were exposed to the world. A secret not even she had figured out.

How interesting.

Luna took a step back to give the heavy hands more space, while Layla was desperately clutching Clancy's chest, staring in panic.

Layla could hear, vaguely, shouts for her to get away. She could hear the crackle of electricity, and hurried footsteps. But she couldn't take her eyes away. She had seen from Void's memories, this was the boy Void favoured. It would be a disservice to Void to abandoned him, especially in his apparitional state.

Alas, the choice was taken from her with a tingling sensation. Tickling pain that set her senses on edge, that something was very wrong. She turned just in time to see Luca’s hand on her shoulder, and without resisting, she moved out of the way. Looking down, she could see stripes of her black sweater dress marked in a handprint, and pursed her lips, scooting back further.

The Rot was something else….

She watched incredulously as the crystal she had seen lodged in the boy dissolve, and Luca fainted.

Sully was quick on the drop, giving both a dose of elixir. Stormy, damn that Stormy, following up with wards to make things easier.

Then Stormy asked the question on everyone's mind, and the boy responded.

"She wanted me, didn't mention anyone else. I told her to get bent. Go figure.”

Clancy

Layla sat there, her mind racing through Void's memories. She knew of the incident at the strip club; some of the names dropped rang a bell. But she couldn't figure out who it could have been that did this to the boy.

Luna behind her only frowned. “There's more than Father Wolf and 8th Street after you people…”

"Um, pizza's here!”

Jessica

Aislin's eyes lit up as Greenwood walked into the bar. From where she stood with Todd, she waved at Ruby and Jessica. ”My best friends have finally arrived! How did you know I was starved!”

“Which ‘white-haired bitch’ were you talking about outside?”

Lila

Immediately, Luna and Layla shared a look. An incredulous, ‘what the hell’ type of look. A self-conscious type of look. Before both, in unison, stared at the Greenwood Coven.

Luna coughed, half-turning away. She was hopeful Greenwood wouldn't bring up the fact that they cornered her ass at the mall the other day. But that was resolved the same day, and she was working to be in the good books now. Her little slip-up that day wasn't about to bite her in the ass, was it?

Luna stared at Greenwood for a long, long time. She didn't have any beef with them that she knew of.

But… She did have a memory. One of her own, and a couple of Void's…

A memory of a girl, passed away, in the morgue of the Temple, Void saying his goodbyes. A memory of Void, fighting with bikers, a white-haired Alizée by his side. Another memory of Void… and Greenwood.

Luna kept thinking of Void, how he was willing to sacrifice himself for Alizée that day, when instead, she was the one who fought and died for him. Layla slowly stood, her eyes misting over.

“Is the one named Naomi here…?”

Luna's eyes bugged out a bit, knowing exactly what Layla was referring to. She walked up and threw an arm over the girl's shoulders. ”Not now, Layla. Come on, let me get you a drink. You need it.” And she tried to lead Layla back to the bar.

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!
