retellers | WEEK 1: CYOA (Alex, Blanca, Shiro, Sora)

[ Wherever your character might have been walking to before this, the moment they pass through the next area, whether through a door, the bridge or even the elevator-- they'll wind up somewhere... somewhat unexpected.

It almost seems like an extension of the space station. The walls and floors around them are the same, at least, though they won't recognize this area at all. Behind them is a wall and no way back. The corridor they find themselves in is dimly lit compared to the rest(?) of the spaceship, and extends to the right and left of them. Both sides seem empty, though it's too dark to see further in. What might be more of interest is what is on the floor to each side.

While there is nothing in the middle area they have found themselves in, to the right of them is a trail of what looks to be blood, like something was dragged around. To their left, there are spots of some sort of odd purple goo that glows brightly, almost like something that was dripping down from time to time.

There is no sound around them coming from either direction to hint at what may have made such messes. They will simply have to choose. ]

[ To the left Sora and Alex go, following that beautiful trail of shiny purple goo. The puddles on their way are inconsistent in size, and still seem fresh. Despite the seeming darkness in the corridor when they started, the lights seem to work normally as they walk on by.

They eventually reach something, however; what looks to be an industrial elevator... next to a set of stairs leading upwards. The goo trail heads to (from?) the elevator. There is only one button to push to get the elevator, so there's no telling immediately where that will lead them. ]

[ No, I do not regret this title.

The walk to the right following the blood is... interesting, to say the least. The further they go, the less light there is. And while the trail of blood started off fresh, it seems to get dryer and dryer as they walk, though it's hard to tell with the light being so dim... and flickering, now.

They have chosen to keep pressing on despite the impeding darkness, but once it arrives, it does not last long. They'll only take one step into the dark before the lights flicker weakly back on... Revealing they are once again not where they expected to be.

Gone are the metal floors and walls, replaced with delapidated wood. The blood trail they were following is now an old, dirty red carpet seemingly leading them further in. A quick glance around will show that there is now a large double door behind them...and in front, what looks to be the entrance hall of a manor that has seen better days? ]
