(no subject)
Characters: Alfred Bester (equivocal_means), OPEN
When: April 05-11
Where: Bester's mind. Since he's a telepath, he should be used to the idea.
Rating: PG - PG-13ish?
Summary: A perfectly normal journey in the mind of a perfectly safe and entirely stable individual.
The interior looks like the inside of the Psi Corps building - cold, white hallways, the only decoration, the only feature being framed pictures of words, simple phrases - things like "OBEY" and "TRUST THE CORPS".
There would be doors, unmarked and unlocked, their contents identical - rooms empty of any sign of life, of personal identification. Nothing but empty tables, empty chairs. Occasional rooms would have a presentation going on a screen - nothing but Psi Corps propaganda though, explaining the goodness of the Corps, its service to telepaths, how it's a family. Nothing personal.
The atmosphere in any of these places is very very dead. No emotion, no spiritual presence. The hallways would be maze-like, nearly identical, the sort of place you could wander for a very long time and never find a way out, with the words of the Corps, the symbol of the Corps your only company.
There's only one place to find that's any different. A door, somewhere lost amid the hallways, the only one locked, the edges of it tinted with something like rust. While it's the only part that's flawed, it's also the only thing that seems vaguely alive in the whole place. The room inside is dark, yet warmer, if not precisely pleasant. Memories of Carolyn would be here, the only person he's genuinely cared for. Spend too much time there, and Bester'll probably notice and show up to throw you out. The rest of the building is safe enough, if you like propaganda.
