[ For each character, as they pass through an area—through a door, across the bridge, etc.—they'll find themselves... not where they expected to be! Instead, all together now, they're in some sort of dimensional corridor: all around them, it looks like the galaxy, if somewhat distorted. Though their feet will remain flat on the surface, as if they were walking on an invisible floor on normal Earth, it certainly doesn't look like they're anywhere normal.

In any case, within this strange place, the only direction to go now is forward. If they try to go back, it's as if they hit a wall. ]

GROUP 1 - SOO-WON & XIE LIAN

[retellers]

[ As Soo-won and Xie Lian walk, they will find that the space around them seems to... shift?

They appear to be indoors now, although the aesthetic will be nothing these oldies will be personally familiar with. Ahead of them is still a straight corridor, though now the walls are opaque, white, and made of some sort of futuristic material, and the entire hallway is lit up brightly. If they look behind to where they came from, it's just another wall.

Hm. What now? ]

GROUP 2 - OCHAKO, CHIRON

[retellers]

[ Ochako and Chiron may continue walking forward, if they wish. But Soo-won and Xie Lian sure did disappear! ]

RE... GROUP...?

[ When Ochako injects the serum, something happens.

Slowly, Soo-won and Xie Lian will begin to breathe once more. However, it soon becomes clear that something is... off. As they exhale, a dark vapour escapes from their mouths, and a number of changes occur—though one will only be noticeable at first to the two themselves.

All of their wounds heal, leaving not even a scar. It's as if any damage inflicted on their bodies never happened in the first place. Furthermore, small, flesh-coloured horns protrude from their head, and their teeth turn to fangs.

And, inside, what burns in their blood is the desire to kill. Not one another, but these lowly beings in front of them. Though there may be moments where they regain their senses, it will never be for long, and the clarity will not last.

Hey, the note warned you there would be side effects.

Meanwhile, all of the doors close shut, locks keeping them in place. Another holographic screen appears in the air. It isn't clear who it's for; perhaps, though, it's meant for them all. ]

Defeat the monsters.

[ Well then. ]
