[open, network and action]

[the_horror]

Trying not to repeat what everyone else has said, but this place is a nightmare. I turn around and the door I just went through disappears. I'm in a hall way, somewhere, and at least this time nothing is going on, but it's still a bit annoying to just walk and walk and get no where. Someone talk to me?

Rikki, if you're hearing this, I hope you're okay. I tried following you through that door but it just wouldn't open.

---

To anyone who wants to run into him though, he is literally walking down a long hall way, alone, bored, and looking for a door out of here. If you happen to open a door on his hall way, hold it open for him, yeah?

He's in black suit with the jacket off and in his hands. Dark hair is well combed and in place still, but he looks tired. Looks uncomfortable. Ben's been walking for a while. He's looking for Rikki still, or just a open damn door. Hopefully one that doesn't led to pool again. He's been there at least once.

Ben's not dead here. Not a ghost. He's physical and alive and tired. He's not felt tired in ages. Or temperature either, and he was feeling over heated right now. Worn out at least. He's sure this hall way was ramping up the heat too. But he walked, looking back once in a while, or even wandering back and checking floor and ceiling for doors as well as walls. But nothing. It was like it was doing it's best to keep him separated from others.

( Well shit... )

I'm fine. Just...scared me is all. The elevator. And I didn't put it on audio. I dunno how that happened if you heard that, but I didn't do it.

[BEN]
Yeah, well...I'll burn this stupid house down around us if I have to. I'm not a lab rat.
They'll be sorry if I ever find out who they are.

That's a point... Let's just find one another first, yeah?

[the_horror]

Did you have anything in your pockets? That part was confusing. I was really hoping there was more to it than all that but, that's what we got too.

Yeah! As in it felt like someone shoved the door right in my face, and I was part way over the threshold? So I ended up shoved back into the room we had been in.

[the_horror]

The elevator. Don't tell me it dropped you.

Well, it went to audio just in time to catch your fall.

[RIKKI]
Lets try not burning the house with ourselves in it just yet, but if it comes down to it, that's not a bad idea.

Okay, this might not work, but I'm banging on a wall right now. Can you hear it?

[sweetfloozy]

That part didn't make no sense to me cause my dress didn't have no pockets. I reckon that means we all got the same message?

[the_horror]

Rikki had the same issue. No pockets. I'm trying to figure if it was metaphorical or something. Like, did we miss something?

[Jacob, you have a dress? Huh. He's not going to judge. Klaus does it all the time.]

[captpaininass]

Preaching to the choir there. I knocked down what I thought was the front door and it was just another hall full of useless doors.

Can't speak for anyone else, but if you make noise and I hear I'll try and give you a hand. Not exactly easy in this place, though, I'm contemplating pulling a Hansel and Gretel at this point and leaving breadcrumbs.

[the_horror]

At least you had doors. This is the second hall way I have found that was door-less for a while.

I tried that with my friend, but I can do it again. Banging on the wall right now. It's almost soundless in this hall, and it's dark as hell. I feel like the sound is disappearing into the darkness. A dumb as that sounds...

[sweetfloozy]

Or maybe somebody somewhere did get something in their pocket and it was a special message mixed in or something?

[the_horror]

That's a possibility. Especially if we all got the same message.

[captpaininass]

This place is never going to make any sense at this rate.

Considering how many other things in this place that don't follow the normal rules of reality I'm not putting anything passed possible or dismissing it as dumb, personally. I'll bang on doors I pass too - if I hit one near you bang back and I'll get through one way or another.

I'm Carol, by the way.

[sweetfloozy]

I ain't figured out how many people are here yet, but maybe everyone needs to check their pockets who got em anyway.

Did the room off of the dining room look all ransacked when you woke up there too? There was stuff torn up and thrown around everywhere when the two people I woke up with and me went thorugh and we was wondering what happened in there.

[the_horror]

Ben. I'd say it's nice to meet you Carol, but the situation is terrible. Nothing makes sense and everything seems upside or wrong. I'm not dismissing it, but I'd really like at least one thing to make sense, you know?

[and he is banging on walls as he passes them, because that's all he's ran into are walls.]

[the_horror]

Well, anyone reading this, check your pockets.

And no. We went from a dining room to a hall way to, um, well, it was dark. And we ran into a lot of water. Nothing torn up other then the fact everything looks extremely old.

[insufferablysmart]

Nah, I figure that was just a passive aggressive "haha, fuck you, buddy" from them to us.

That's fucked up, dude. That's real fucked.

[justaddh2o]

I won't, then.

( It happened, but if he doesn't want her to tell him that it did, then she's happy to take that literally even though it's clear he doesn't mean it that way. )

...brilliant.

[BEN]
Well, it's not my first choice, obviously. But I'm also not above it if there's no other options.

No... I suppose I should start moving to see if I can eventually hear it, though, yeah? Keep doing it.

[sweetfloozy]

Is there more than one dining room in this place or that the rooms get rearranged sometimes?

If the rooms get rearranged that's gonna make it real hard to get any bearings here.

[captpaininass]

I get the sentiment all the same, Ben, no worries. And I'm pretty sure we're all feeling about the same here because this is a pain in the ass to put it lightly.

[the_horror]

Oh, that helps. God, did the elevator really do something stupid? Are you sure you're okay?

[RIKKI]
Right. We can hold off on the burning for now. Still, not a bad idea.

Yeah, I'll keep it up.

[the_horror]

Man, I didn't think of that.

Yeah, I'm already so lost I don't think I could find the dining room again anyhow.

[the_horror]

This entire place is more than a little fucked up, honestly.

[the_horror]

You would think at least something would follow the laws of physics.

[justaddh2o]

Just...I wouldn't recommend the elevator for future use. I'm sure I'm okay, Ben.

[BEN]
Oh hold on, I think I heard that, mate. Unless that's someone else.

[captpaininass]

Seeing as it's not, though, I think it means whoever is responsible for all of this has some hella kind of juice behind it all.

[insufferablysmart]

To say the least.

[sweetfloozy]

I wonder if the walls got some kinda mechanics in them, or some kinda motor that helps em move around like they do? Have you ever heard any kinda whirring or anything before you get lost?
