THE LOST DAYS... Round 1.
It's all darkness.
The feeling of nothingness, of being nothing. Of not existing. You have no thoughts, you will never have any thoughts again. While that fact is not comforting, because you cannot be comforted anymore, it is true.
There's a certain rest to being... nothing. And to both knowing and not knowing, that your time is done.
So it's all the more unfortunate when you feel, because you shouldn't feel. And the feeling is burning in your lungs, which you shouldn't have. Because you are- or were- nothing.
And then, you inhale a desperate gasp of air and open your eyes...

Arkham Asylum
But strangely… you see a flower starting to bloom amongst the cracks of this place. It’s a lovely flash of yellow amongst the drab, sterile browns and whites of the hallways.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
As you look on, you can see a room, and the laughing seems to draw… closer? It sets your teeth on edge, the more you hear it.
Re: Arkham Asylum
Talking isn't high on my list of objectives today.
[ Is there any way to move...away from the laughing... Regardless of if there is or not, Talon's eying the flowers to see if they seem to be more clustered in any specific location ]
Re: Arkham Asylum
...Is that one of the flowers from that Game?
Re: Arkham Asylum
They are spreading. :)
Re: Arkham Asylum
Wherever it's from, it does not belong here. We need to find the source of them, and I assume it is going to be the same place that laughter is coming from.
[ Heading further into the room, looking where the flowers seem thickest first ]
Re: Arkham Asylum
...Be on the lookout for clowns. You might not remember him, but there's no one worse in Jason's mind.
AN EVENT...
And you don't know what's next-- but with some quick thinking, or maybe instinct, dropping them seems to keep them from curling around you and making you one of theirs.
But your hand feels vaguely burned? You could check that out, except suddenly there is a flash of green, as roiling smoke fills the air, gathering like a storm cloud behind you.
It's coming from where you came. What do you do?
Re: AN EVENT...
"That's Joker gas! Talon, d'you have some kinda gas mask?!"
WE NEED TO LEAVE
Re: AN EVENT...
I don't—he's trying to herd us!
[ But what choice to they have but to go further in? He yanks his shirt over his mouth, backing away from the smoke and looking for an exit furthest from the gas ]
Re: AN EVENT...
But, there is a stairway.
As they move, a memory flashes before their eyes, and for a moment they feel broken. Like a useless toy, the stinging regret of being worthless, so worthless that they'd managed to double back in to a manic rage to destroy everything.
There's no failure in destruction, there can't be.
"Do you want to talk about it? It's important to talk."
As they slam the door to the stairwell behind them, it stops the gas. But the flowers are everywhere. It's a treacherous path up, or down the stairs.
Re: AN EVENT...
"Whatever happens, we can't breathe that in - or we're gonna end up killing each other instad."
Re: AN EVENT...
[ He frowns at the stairwell for a minute, looking up and down a few times before nodding down ]
The basement of a psychiatric prison seems like a good place to look for a mad clown to me.
Re: AN EVENT...
[Downstairs it is.......]
