P A R T 3 {OPEN} EVENT
E V E N T :: E N D G A M E :: P A R T 3
OOC
Your characters are in complete darkness, even the communicator can't really illuminate the surrounding area. It's thick and murky and you'd insist yourself blind if not for the ability to see the communicator.
Your characters cannot feel anything if they reach out and around, it just feels empty. Calling out, however, may or may not get a response from other characters in the same predicament. Sound travels through whatever you're stuck in, and it sounds as if the person it quite close no matter who responds (but there's no way, because you can't find them by feeling about).
The further you descend/the longer you're at a standstill (it's all perception isn't it?) the better you'll feel able to move about, to get your bearings. And you think it may be getting less dark, less hopeless (but you can't be sure) and maybe it is. And maybe, if you try hard enough, you'll be able to find someone you're looking for in the darkness.
**It is possible for people seeking each other out to actually find one another physically, just make sure that they have a difficult time/show they put quite a bit of effort into finding the other person eventually. You'll need to action log it in order for two characters to successfully find one another. Once they do, even though there's no light, lighting from the communicator screens will illuminate to at least act like a flashlight and let you know it's really them.
**Respond to this log like you would a network post. Since there's no surrounding area, there is no action log to be done really unless your character is going to search for something. Make separate comments for each of your characters to "identify" that they're present, and then respond to other people as you see fit. Hijacking is of course encouraged and your characters can hear everyone else. Basically, treat this as a 1st person post, but it's offline and *only* in voice.
**There eventually will be a comment showing up to transition your characters to the next step, but as for now, treat it as a big entire game conversation opportunity to try and figure out what just happened.
Any questions, go here or ask personally! THE SETTING
You've fallen, you're sure of that. You felt the ground give way, you saw the floor crumble away from under you, you heard the sound of it all collapsing, and you tasted the dust from demolition (in the back of your throat, trailing down right into your lungs).
Your stomach lurches, your ability to see left with the world above as you descend into complete blackness. And you may pass out, may never figure out how long it is you fall until you wake, but at some point you do.
And still there is nothing around you. You can't tell if you're floating, falling, standing, or even sitting, anymore because there's no ground, there's no way for you to identify your surroundings to properly give you a perception of your current reality. Your feet can't register solidness even in what you're sure is a standing position (but then again, you could be floating upside down for all you know… the only thing that's different is that stomach sensation has long since disappeared).
You feel alone. At first, it's hard to talk even if you want to, even when you will yourself to it's almost like a dream where you have no control even though you should. But with enough willpower it comes, and then it comes easier and easier until you can speak more as you once thought yourself able to.
There's no echo, but somehow it's still a very hollow feeling you feel concerning your surroundings. The only thing that peers out of the darkness is if you have your communicator equipped one you. Even if you don't (perhaps you dropped it at some point during your fall), it'll eventually float up beside you, screen illuminated as if it's been in use quite recently (and the way it "ascends" is your only reference, and you want to think you're falling still-or floating-but somehow you just can't be sure.
The communicator works, everything you've had saved, stored and filed is still there. However, there is no network signal and searching for one will have the device search only to return the answer that it can not find any signal (of anything).
