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.]

[Slugger raises his bat as if in defense but the knives seem to pass easily through it and himself with no remarkable effect. Still grinning, he isn't angry about the surprise attack, just curious.]

What?

[princecreepshow]

[ Bel's grin widens as he sees the knives go right through him.

He ignores that Slugger has spoken, to ask a question of his own. ]

Are you an illusionist?

[strike_you_out]

I don't know. [lowering his bat] ...What's that?

[princecreepshow]

[ Bel tilts his head to the side. He plays with a knife in his hand, looking at Slugger beneath his fringe. ]

You serious? Who doesn't know what an illusionist is?

[strike_you_out]

Me.

[It was someone capable of creating illusions, he's sure, but thst definition could just as easily describe a magician or someone without supernatural abilities.]

Are you one?

[princecreepshow]

[ An illusionist is definitely not the same thing as a magician, if you ask Bel.

He snorts. ] No. But I know several.

[strike_you_out]

Know any monsters?

[princecreepshow]

Sure I do. [ Depends on what you mean by 'monsters', of course. ]

[strike_you_out]

Here?

[He actually seems quite curious.]

[princecreepshow]

Ye~s~ What, wanna slay some?
