Darkness surrounds Platypus until he falls onto a fluffy white cloud. @Ookla the platypus Quote He's now in a realm, where basically the floor is white clouds on a grey sky.

InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Forest of Tal'rin Insa got up and started attacking the dummies and sorting through memories. Looking for a reason. There had to be a reason, something she had done. But she couldn't remember. She kept fighting her way through the dummies bits of pieces of memories coming back. There was only one dummy left and suddenly she could remember everything. She dropped her sword panting. She stabbed the last dummy with her dagger. Sticks and stones may break my bone but words will never hurt me. What a stupid lie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue she/her Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Forest of Tal'rin Rue shoots some dummies. I'm not as good as I used to be, she thinks. It doesn't matter. Even at her peak, the dummies would have been nearly impossible. And now...it doesn't take long for them to close in, making her bow useless. She falls to the ground. After several more attempts, she's mad. She wants to kill something, which is ironic, as that's exactly what she's struggling to do. Every time, she thinks. I fail every time. I am so tired of failing. But she stands up to try again, listening to a voice deep within her. @Ookla the Myopic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And two the dummies were stationary targets , but having them move towards her is fine.

Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) The Clinic Something moved. Jimmy Thunder looked up from the magazine he'd been reading on his comfy chair in his living room. He had a large apartment in the building. What was that? He looked around wildly, something was here besides him... Something told him it wasn't some sort of being like Shadow. Annoying, yet somewhat helpful. The lamp on his coffee table flickered, like a pulse going out. "This... this is unnerving." That was just when he noticed his shadow pointed the wrong way. He cursed, stumbling back. The shadow didn't move with him and checked behind him, his normal one was there. "Okay, something freaky is going on..." Jimmy walked out of the door, peeking at the weird shadow on the floor and then left. He walked down the hallway and smiled, he hoped- the shadow was back right in front of him. Great. Something grabbed his foot and he tripped. Jimmy fell on the shadow, it felt goopy... Some sort of red aura seemed to emanate from it, an evil aura. Jimmy tried to get up, but the shadow seemed to stick to him, pulling him down. He shouted for help, but the shadow covered him, pulling him into the floor. He sank into the shadow, making a ploop noise. A shadowy version of Jimmy stepped out of the goo, an illusion covered it and it appeared just as Jimmy had. It smiled eerily then made an expression much like Jimmy would have. It strolled along as if nothing had happened. Quote mmm... fyi, this only works because Jimmy doesn't have any powers besides good food making skills.

A grin spreads over Emma's face and just for one second it seems twisted and dark. Her sword falls into her waiting hands, the blade now a dark, murky grey.
