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.]

...

Keep close.

[This is spoken to Kyon, naturally, as she reaches out a cold hand to grasp hold of his arm. Kyon will find that so long as he maintains contact with Yuki, he has no difficult in keeping pace with the movement of the bubble.

She will let Shana take care of the drones as she prepares something else. The whispers were growing to be more than a nuisance. Countermeasures must be made.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, this is looking a bit less Smash Bros. and a little more like Resident Evil...

[Not going to let go of Nagato. Dying doesn't sound like a good plan right now.]

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

[ Shana fights on, terrified of seeing someone she can't destroy. Like Haruhi. Or.... Wilhemina. ]

[tenderoblivion]

[After a few minutes of silently walking forward, Kyon will find Yuki attempting to lift his arm.

She appears to be attempting her creepy vampire bite again.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ack, ow!

(Dang it Nagato, can't you warn me before you do that!?)

[tenderoblivion]

[Kyon will find that anything within the frequency at which the whispers are registering has become almost inaudible.

Hopefully no one nearby has a vocal frequency that falls in that same range.]

The effect will be removed within an hour.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

Mou! What are you doing?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

N-nothing? Just, magic alien things.

[tenderoblivion]

[Kissing Kyon on the wrist, OK?? Don't be so jealous. Yuki lowers his arm and continues to walk forward at her unhurried pace without giving Shana an answer.

She expects the girl should be able to resist the whispers on her own with her glut of superpowers.]

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

[ Damn right she can! Not like she'd ask you for help anyway, HMPH. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

So...

(... Nice weather? Not exactly.)

... I wonder where we're actually headed here?

[tenderoblivion]

...Where the 'memento' is located.

[thank you, yuki]
