[ The ground rumbles and shakes - and then opens up. The earth swallows you whole, leaving you in front of . . . blobs . . . Oh they're a little cute, aren't they?

But the world is a bit dark, isn't it? It's a little scary . . . isn't it? ]

Pre-Fight Mingle

[hot_mess_express]

[ You can interact with the blobs here when they're cute! You can also hang out to see who's around. Did you fight the blobs before? Were you eaten before? Maybe it's time for some info sharing! ]

[nihilmancy]

[she literally just got here and just fell down a hole and is still sort of panicking, so she backs awayyyyy from the blobs]

Re: Pre-Fight Mingle

[purrtagonist]

[AKIRA HAS DEFINITELY FOUGHT THE BLOBS BEFORE. was not eaten!! but he's definitely staring at the mass of blobs with an exasperated look]

Go awayyyyy. . .

Re: Pre-Fight Mingle

[howlsitgoin]

[What in the world is this and why?]

Well this is stupid.

[poking a blob with his foot]

[assassinatedassassin]

Why are you touching it.

[What if they bite! They don't have mouths but what if they bite!]

Re: Pre-Fight Mingle

[hot_mess_express]

[ it pokes you back. hello ]

[assassinatedassassin]

[ugh no why he doesn't want to be down here. Hopping up and sideeying the blobs while brushing dirt off of himself.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ They are in fact, a little cute!

She's poking one. ]

What are these?

Re: Pre-Fight Mingle

[legis_vox]

I'm starting to think I'd prefer the Bane. At least they're less...slimy.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ it was already dark and scary thanks

blobs aren't people though which means slowly extending one foot to try to boop one seems like a much better idea than acknowledging anyone else ]

Fears

[hot_mess_express]

[ What are your character's darkest fears? Please treat this like a signup so I know who's playing! ]

Hlasoh

[nihilmancy]

Her own de-powering here in Aurora, being imprisoned, being deprived of her agency, the fact that she was literally mind-controlled into murdering her friends, the fact that she was cursed with a kind of magic that makes her inherently more bloodthirsty and thus that she is an awful monster that deserves to be destroyed, people discovering she is an awful monster and condemning her for it

Yona / Dahlia Maple

[dragonheartedgirl]

Unknown deepest fear is abandonment and/or watching the people she loves die.

And uh. HM. I guess known deepest fear would be... being poisoned again? Or just general powerlessness. |D; she's an amnesiac and she hasn't taken any memories yet. whoops.

[purrtagonist]

His inability to protect the people he cares about! Notably the phantom thieves, his confidants, and here in Aurora that would include Clover, Aria and Timur.

Other fears include bindings and/or restrictions, like chains or jail cells or anything that would "trap" him so to speak. Also anything that messes with his sense of agency! Taking away his control and messing with his emotions/thoughts is included in this.

Re: Fears

[strelizia]

uhhhhhhhhhhhh lets go scientists

does angry fear work

Pathiri

[assassinatedassassin]

Getting ditched or otherwise abused by people he cares about, but that's kind of hard right now since he's memloss so also: scary spooky stories. Generic spooky monster things threatening harm should be fine.

Re: Fears

[howlsitgoin]

Failing to help people, not understanding important emotional shit, being the reason other people are hurt... More straight-forward, he's kinda spooked by being burned now thx dragon

oh yeah he doesn't like bugs v much but it's not really phobia-levels

Timur

[legis_vox]

Joining the common theme of failing in his responsibilities, watching people he cares about die while he can't help them, that kind of thing. Having to kill people he cares about is also there. Not a lot of concrete fears, unfortunately, though the Voices of Nerat or Tunon the Adjudicator from his canon would ping him in various of the abstract ones.

Kaiko

[ghostfromthemachine]

Unknown deepest fear: Losing who she is as a person and being entirely swallowed up by her "role" as an agent of vengeance/bad karma, finding out that she'll always be an existence that primarily hurts others

Known deepest fear: not knowing who she is and/or what she's capable of, particularly with regard to the fucked up murder urges she's been getting; losing control of said murder urges

laughs for a million years

MONSTER ACTION

[hot_mess_express]

[ The laughter echoes throughout the tunnels as the blobs grow larger and larger, surrounding everyone.

Several blobs are attached to people, or otherwise mirroring them - Kaiko's own blob swells to her size, eyes glowing red as she gives a malicious smile. Hlasoh's blob digs into her foot as another blob drops from the ceiling to land on her face.

The Naans have. . . dissolved, for the most part, but they are all screaming - these sound like recordings, too. Like the real Naan had screamed, somewhere. They're joined by the Jusisblobs, all of which start attaching to themselves to create several conglomerate human(?) figures.

It's a cacophony of noise, laughter and sobbing, and they're closing in on you all, separating you individually. Pathiri will find himself trapped between several of the ghostblobs in particular. ]

PLAYER ACTION

[hot_mess_express]

[ Do you know how to fight them off? What will you do? ]
