OOC: SCENARIO 9

Scenario requirements:
You reach a long barricade of thorns on the other side of the wall. They seem to be moving, pulsating with a life of their own and gift out a strange light. Flowers begin to bloom on the wall. When you press your hand against one, you are immediately assaulted with a strange vision (roll 1d6 to see what it is).

1. You see a skyscraper. At the very top there is a greenhouse. You feel yourself hovering above the greenhouse before diving right into it. There is a beautiful garden inside it, almost like a biodome. In the center of the biodome is what looks like some sort of chalice

2. You see hundreds of dead bodies, and a strange feeling washes over you. Apathy. You stand over the bodies and continue searching for at least one survivor. You hear yourself speak. "Are humans really so fragile?"

3. You fight against humans, but this time they are armed. Their weapons hurt. You are frustrated. They are eligible, but none of them will truly accept your wisdom. You kill many without ever feeling accepted. The feeling continues until the vision is over.

4. You fight against creatures of shadows, what you would consider your own breathren. They come in all shapes and sizes, large beasts and dragons, demons and even the undead. They refuse your knowledge. They are not compatible. They beg, negotiate and even fight against you to stop. You assimilate them for their treachery and refusal to serve.

5. You sleep in a long chamber of vines. Inside it are rows and rows of crystals. Each one is important to you. You tap against one, and it resonates, and you feel a strange sense of satisfaction. This is the power you have collected from those living and dead.

6. [ There is no actual image in this vision. Instead, you are assaulted with hundreds, thousands of conflicting thoughts, emotions, and ideals, all of them not your character's own. Your actual character's nose begins to bleed, and they fall to the ground, convulsing. They are unable to roll any other visions from the above if they reach this prompt and eventually pass out ].

Otherwise, you may continue rolling until you have fulfilled the 250 word requirement for it!

The thorns were weird.

Without Mia, Third was finding he had trouble concentrating.

Heh. Wasn't that a b***h? He really should have branched out, found some contacts in their little sector. Then again, the chestnut-haired son of a gun wasn't all that fond of getting up close and personal with people to begin with...and now that the real, honest-to-god apocalypse had kicked in, William Percy Jackson...the ********' Third....really didn't trust anyone. He did trust Mia...trusted to know when the blond was losing it and when he was lucid. Now that line had been blurred and it scared the s**t out of him.

Lines were continuing to blur.

You couldn't trust anyone...no humans, no shadows...nothing.

People arose in the darkness, enshrouded in fog. Third felt the hostility roiling off of them, they had knives, guns...and they were coming after him.

For what reasons, he didn't know. "I'M NOT ONE OF THE DAMNED UNDEAD, OK!? BACK OFF!" He lashed out with his knife....again, and again...he could feel their blades sink into him, and god...it hurt. He wondered how long adrenaline could keep him going, his gut asking him in a sinister fashion...if he was dying...and how long it would take him to bleed out.

Would Mia find him? God if Mia found his rotting body in truth then the poor b*****d would truly snap.

And so Third kept fighting.

It felt so alien....slashing down these meaningless human faces. Yet it needed to be done. They hated him, he could feel it...he'd been an alien to them before this ******** setback...this...infestation. Outcast.

He would not succumb to it, but he would not be made the monster.

As he thrust his knife into yet one more vulnerable carotid artery Third let out a low, barking laugh of soft surrender.

It didn't matter who won. If they were all eaten, devoured. No one was on the same side. This madness would destroy them.

The blood on his hands faded in and out, as though reality was phasing.

"No no no...this...THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT!" He stabbed his knife into the dirt below, falling to his knees as he screamed to the sky, trying to banish the hallucination.

He'd been many things...but this surging insanity was not him...and some part of him knew it.
