[AUDIO - and this isn't Cooper speaking. It's a strange, stilted voice you don't recognise.]

You are heere an thereis no place to g o ... BUT HOME!!

[After that, have some laughter. Again, not Cooper.]

[ACTION ANYWHERE: A lot of you know Cooper, but none of you know exactly how bizarre his life actually is. If you run into him today - anywhere, ( Read more... )

action: red room cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 19:43:37 UTC

[ichabod inhales sharply as he takes in his new surroundings. he's... not in the hollow anymore, is he?]

[he swallows. what is this place?]

cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 22:11:11 UTC

[probably not. maybe it's not even real. but it's definitely something]

[and, oh, yes, he will. and the sudden disappearance of the statue startles him yet again. where did it go? he has an awful lot of questions, but still no answers]

reddrapes December 10 2011, 22:17:22 UTC

[Well, there's nothing else in the corridor. Just air and emptyness and a confused detective who really shouldn't be there.]

[But if he continues through the curtains once more, there's that room again. The same room, but this time with only two chairs.]

[Katrina Van Tassel is in one of them.]

cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 22:28:43 UTC

[he hurries over to the girl]

Katrina-- [he speaks in an almost whisper, his words rushed as though he's afraid someone might be eavesdropping] What are you doing here?

reddrapes December 10 2011, 22:34:08 UTC

[She shakes her head slowly, something just a little off in her movements, and looks at him a little sadly.]

Icha-bod. [Slowly. Haltingly.] The Horseman eets corn. Whatch out.

cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 22:37:59 UTC

[he frowns]

The-- what? The Horseman? [he repeats] Katrina, what are you talking about? [and what's wrong with her voice?]

reddrapes December 10 2011, 22:43:26 UTC

[She doesn't want to answer. Either that, or she's unable to. She gives him a long look before she slowly rises and points the way back. Back to where he came.]

[.. but the flashing room is that way. Then again, is going forward a better choice?]

cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 22:47:07 UTC

Should I-- [he swallows] --go back there? [he asks in an attempt to sound brave, but fails miserably, because yes, he is very well aware of that fact]

reddrapes December 10 2011, 22:52:45 UTC

That's your choice. Maeke it r-ight.

[And with that, she'll turn and walk behind the chairs. Once she does, she's gone. Suddenly, unexplainably. But even if he wanted to try, he couldn't have stopped her.]

cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 23:00:33 UTC

Ka-- [he tries, instictively holding out a hand, but he lowers it as soon as he sees that she's gone]

[oh my what sort of mess has he gotten himself into]

[he glances toward the curtains, unsure what to do. but, assuming that there was -- or is -- actually a reason as to why katrina wanted him to go into that room... he should probably investigate it. it's his job after all, even if he's not very satisfied with it at the moment]

reddrapes December 10 2011, 23:05:24 UTC

[It's not easy being an investigator, is it?]

[But when he does go back, he'll find the same empty corridor. The statue is still gone.]

[Beyond that ... the same empty room.]

cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 23:08:27 UTC

[not under these circumstances, no]

[but... what if he continues further into the labyrinth of curtains and black and white floors? is there a possibility that the curtains in the corner of this room part as well?]

reddrapes December 10 2011, 23:14:20 UTC

[Of course. And once he parts them, he'll be back in the corridor ... with the statue.]

[Do you see, Ichabod? You're retracing your steps.]

cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 23:18:29 UTC

[... oh. he gets it know. but. how is that possible? not yet has he come to accept the fact that logic doesn't exist in this place, whatever it is]

[what's he even doing here? and is that statue staring at him?]

reddrapes December 10 2011, 23:24:03 UTC

[Is it? Maybe. It's hard to tell with her. She watches, sure, but staring might be a little harsh.]

[Will you brave the curtains again, detective? These lead to the room with the lights and the blood, don't they?]

[Oh, and that's right ... your hands are bleeding again.]

[Not much, not much at all, but it's there. And maybe you'll notice.]

cardinal_cage December 10 2011, 23:35:16 UTC

[will he or will he not, that is the question. as much as he would like to leave, right now, he still hasn't managed to get his head around this place. and that actually bothers him. it doesn't make any sense to him -- at all -- and ichabod doesn't like it when things doesn't make sense. he wouldn't say that he's accepted the fact that he's going in circles, but that's at least an explanation as to why he's unable to advance. and an explanation is as good as any]

[so, with that thought, he parts the curtains yet again, hoping that they will show him something he hasn't seen before]
