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.]

There's one girl here who lives in the same house as me. She got here before I did, and I guess I need to look out for her or something. [She's just a girl, after all.]

[encored]

[geez Czes it's almost like you're from the 30s or something.]

Will you be jumping if she jumps? Or are you going to go regardless? [some genuine curiosity there, like he's trying to gauge something.]

[cursedtolive]

[Just almost!]

I'll be going unless something happens here that'll get her hurt. If something happens, I'll grab her and take her home -- the guy there would probably be able to protect her.

[encored]

How good of her to have a safety net. I doubt you'll have much to worry about by way of harm up here, though. [a glance around the area reveals that much; from what he's observed, almost everyone seems focused on the void and the void itself hasn't done anything irregular.]

[cursedtolive]

Mmm, well, if she's here, she's probably going to jump in anyway.

[encored]

I do hope she's well-equipped. [as far as he's concerned, only the best of the best should be willing to jump into the glitch pocket.

which is why there isn't much hesitation as he approaches its edge a second time, only pausing to spare a glance over his shoulder.] I'll see you on the other side then, hm?

[cursedtolive]

I dunno, but I'll keep an eye on her.

Are you jumping now? I'll see you there, then.

[encored]

Good luck to the both of you. [with that said, he gives a little wave and steps off of the solid ground and into the void.]
