event: portal seven | the void

[mayfield_mods]

The final portal doesn't seem to be a portal at all. It's a glitch hole.

Located on the lawn of the library is a hole much like the ones that have plagued every new location for the past week. As with them, it hurts your eyes to look at too long, but even if you should muscle past the pain and stare straight into it, you can make out nothing on the other side. Nothing, save for a shifting, twitching, swirling void.

Unlike the portals, which were vertically placed like doorways, the hole at the Library is strewn across the lawn: if you want to enter it, you're going to have to jump. Of course, there's no guarantee it will even lead anywhere. Touching the hole or sticking your arm in doesn't have any effect: you'll pull your arm out unharmed. As far as jumping in completely goes, those who jump in disappear from sight. As long as you're on the Mayfield side, there's no way to tell what lies beyond the hole.

There's only one way to find out.

[ooc: Feel free to roleplay up to the point your characters jump in, assuming they do. A single group subthread will be created in a few hours revealing what happens on the other side.]

[It was a bad idea. Luke knew it was a bad idea. After testing the portal and finding that it wasn't hurting him, he knew that if he really wanted to find out what was going on, it was time to stop hesitating.

As much as he tried to ignore it, there was no denying it: Mayfield was falling apart, and now it was more important then ever to try and seek out the truth. He wasn't sure what would happen. He could die, he could disappear. He wasn't really all that scared to die, not really. Although if Mayfield was in this sorry shape, he wasn't entirely sure he'd be coming back. And that did frighten him.

But it was time to stop being afraid, and to seek out a way to finally solve this puzzle.

Luke takes a few steps back, staring down at the hole. He looks like he's trying to prepare himself to jump in.]

[Having promised to protect him, Loosha tried not to stray too far from her friend. She spots Luke preparing to jump into a hole in the ground, and immediately calls out.]

(Luke! What're you doing?)

[hintcoinplz]

[Loosha's voice pulls him out of his thoughts for a moment, but he doesn't look away from the void.]

I think we're supposed to go in, Loosha.

[calmingmelody]

[Loosha waddles over, and looks down.

Her eyes twitch.]

(Um.... you sure?)

[hintcoinplz]

I don't know. People have been disappearing in and out of portals, and I think this might be one of them.

[calmingmelody]

(It's so weird. What is it for?)

[Luckily, Luke doesn't have to worry about hesitating or preparing for things. Annie does that shit for him.

Which is why she's going to be picking him up like a football and diving into the portal.]

YIPPEE-KI-YAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

[hintcoinplz]

ANNIE WHAT ARE-

[That's about as far as he gets before both of them dive head-first into the portal.]

[Sora's looking at the portal. People have been disappearing for awhile now into them and well, it's time that he explore one too. Seeing Luke beside it, the teenager stares down into it. Looking down at the boy, he grins.]

You ready to go?
