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.]

[Unfortunately, Clo really isn't a "competent fighter". More of a playground brawler, really.]

What's even happenin'? With the hands, I mean. Are those drones or what?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Might be. Don't plan on getting close enough to figure it out.

[noluckduck]

No shit. [She sighs. God, she just had to jump in, didn't she?]

... Don't know what I was expectin'.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[He smacks at another hand]

Wasn't a lot of time to consider it. Now we just roll with it.

[Because that's what you do in the face of overwhelming odds]

[noluckduck]

Nice that you're so cool with it. [She stomps on a hand, more out of frustration than any particularly pressing need.]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Been fighting a war since I was about your age.

[He spots a glitch hole]

Get ready to jump.

[noluckduck]

... Oh. [As entitled as Clover can be, that is... admittedly pretty shitty.

But so are glitch holes.] Ah, crap. [She doesn't have that much trouble jumping over it. It's just annoying.]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[He'd rather be flying, but jumping works]

Leaves you with sharp eyes.
