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.]

[ Pfft no she's not getting behind him, but she'll let him toss the rock in. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... I was hoping we might learn something from the rock going in there, but I guess not.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

I guess we'll just have to wait, then.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess so, it probably isn't a good idea to get too close.

The data is impossible to analyze.

[Yuki speaks as if she had been standing there the whole time.]

Essentially, it is unprocessed raw data that cannot be evaluated accurately due to the inherent instability of its nature. Previous holes displayed a corruptive property that would similarly degenerate all data with which it came into contact, similar to the inducing of misfolding by the human protein class known as 'prions'.

Due to increased instability, I am uncertain of this property is currently present.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

... Great. So we're going to have to go into it.

[tenderoblivion]

No.

You will stay.

The danger is too great for any organic being.

[Without any further ado, Yuki will take a few ghost-like steps towards the portal.]
