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.]

[Loosha's really getting tired of this. The drones, she's managed by slapping them away with her tail or ramming them with her side (although she's gotten some bites that way from the ones with teeth on their hands, they didn't phase her much.) But the voice is really starting to agitate her.

She hears only one: Arianna's.

"Loosha," it calls sweetly, and gets progressively meaner until it's screaming. "I'm here. Won't you come to me? Come on, Loosha. I thought we were friends! Why are you running away?! Don't leave me behind! Come back! Get out of there!"]

(Stop! Stop it!!)

[she wails, and soon she's fighting more than she has to - anything to help her focus on something else. She knows that's not the real Arianna, but she might be looking a bit crazy.]

Hey! [Every bit of this is overwhelming and Clover hates it, but Loosha's distress stands out from the chaos, even for just a moment, and it's enough for her to decide to intervene.]

Don't listen to 'em! [She tries to touch Loosha's side, thrashing be damned.]
