[@this-is-not-an-alien – The entire character castle is going to regret your choice.]
[You do nothing, save crossing your arms and smirking at the blinking, glowing buttons. For you are stubborn.]
[Stubborn as the foundations of this castle.]
[Stubborn as a mountain and violent as a storm.]
[And your decision will be met with equal violence.]
[The foxfire blazes up suddenly. The buttons melt, dripping onto the floor around you.]
[One splash of molten lands an inch over your eye, stopped by an invisible wall. It drips down slowly as it solidifies just an inch before your nose.]
[The ground trembles violently. Marble tiles crack apart, leaking out the thorns and roses within them.]
[You hear the boom boom boom boom boom echoing louder and louder and louder either somewhere in the far reaches of the room or outside of the room entirely. You cannot tell.]
[Then, all is still.]
[All is dark.]
[All is as silent as the grave.]

[@ragnarok]
[So you have seen the truth.][But you have seen it too late.]
[As you shift forms – become the monster you were made into and rejoiced in becoming, the castle around you trembles in agony. Something has changed – you don’t know what.]
[The vines tremble – they retract away from the splintered fragments of the mirror.]
[Then – as suddenly as it started – the world stills again]
[The vines resume their feast.]
[And]
[Then]
[All is still.]
[All is dark.]
[All is as silent as the grave.]

[@everybody! 😊]
[Amnesia feels the pull against his power – the yin to his yang. The darkness to his light.]
[She is almost here.]
[She is as destructive as ever.]
[And she is hungry.]
[Amnesia grins.]

[You remember exactly where you were an instant ago – or so it seems to you.]
[You remember exactly what you had last seen.]
[You remember exactly what you had last done – or were doing.]
[And then]
[All became still.]
[All became dark.]
[All became as silent as the grave.]
.
.

[You have no memory of the trembling violence. The dramatic upheaval as two rooms-filled-with-worlds disintegrated from at the whim of the {redacted}.]
[No, the next thing you are aware of – after the silence and darkness and stillness – is water.]
[Water everywhere – or at least, it moves like water and tastes like water and you hope it is water…]
[As you jerk hopefully upward, you find glass.]
[You feel around yourself – glass everywhere.]
[You are running out of air.]
[And these are not your clothes – they are simple draw-string shorts and a hospital gown tied at the back. Foreign to you as the place you are in.]
[In the darkness, you can see nothing.]
[Nothing save a faint, faint, faint glow on your arm.]
[You hold your arm inches from your face – you see three shimmering, disturbingly anatomical hearts written in your skin.]
[Something tells you that these are not random images – but rather an exact view of your heart in your chest.]
[Or at least, you hope it is still in your chest – when you rub your breastbone, you feel a long, thin scar.]
[You need air urgently and dismiss this problem for later, instead exploring your trap for an exit.]
[But everywhere you touch is glass and water glass and water glass and water.]
[Then you go down – it is narrow, and your elbows and knees meet glass frequently.]
[But when you hit the bottom, you feel … metal and plastic. Probably.]
[And you find a switch.]
[Do you flip the switch?]
{Yes} or {No}
{If yes – flip the switch.}
{If no – bang on the glass as loud as you can and hope someone hears.}
{I’d hurry if I were you.}
{Or you might find out why you’re here…}

Okay, in all seriousness, the IRL reason you’re here is because I … I’m bored waiting for my group to do anything with your group and since we have several inactive characters, this was a good way to stasis them until their authors are ready to return to them.
I! Asked! Ragnarok’s! Permission! Before taking over his castle and this is the only real takeover I mean to do!
Also, shout-out to @ragnarok for leaving that little teaser updates and updates ago. I didn’t pull ‘she’ out of thin air people!
Funnily enough, the entire reason this ‘game’ started because I was desperately trying to figure out how Search’s psychometry works!!!!! Why didn’t I think of that earlier?!?!?!
