>>5883243She's gone... In the blink of an eye, your partner has completely disappeared.
>"Huh... What... the fuck..."You look around the park, searching for any signs of life. Zero. Negative. You look at the outside, towards the streets, no one is there. No one is anywhere! What's going on?!
>"Eua'bk jutk... ckrr yu lgx... se jkgx rozzrk yzxotm vavvkz... Lux euax klluxz... O'bk ynuct eua g mrosvyk... ul znk xkgr... Uazyojk znoy yzgx..."A voice, no, multiple voices layered on top of each other, emerge from between the dead forest, whispering words in a language you can't comprehend.
>"Haz eua sayzt'z... xat gcge lxus euax vgzn... znk ktj oy tkgx...">>"Wkuhh pruh... ohwwhuv... olwwoh rqh...">"Ju tuz jkbogzk... gte laxznkx... Irosh znk zuckx... gtj gyiktj... Znk iaxzgot igrr oy... tkgx..."The snow covering the ground shifts into a slimy magenta sludge, and from it emerges a forest of tall mushrooms, with stems thick like tree trunks and caps overbearing like palm leaves. Their roots grab you by your feet, pulling you down from the swing, into the toxic slime.
>"Znk zuckx...">"Ghyuxh znk romnz...">"Ux hxkgq znk romnz..."The voices become numerous, too numerous for your mind to comprehend. Like a string puppet in a theater show, this entity tugs at your limbs and laughs as you struggle.
>"Vrgezosk ngy mutk ut... zuu rutm...">"Znk iaxzgoty sayz iruyk, se rozzrk yzxotm vavvkz..."The voices grab at your ears and slam you down further into the pinkish substance. Your lungs give out and you open your mouth. Pink goo irritates your throat as it descends down further into your bowels. You try to scream, but you're unable to make a sound.
>"Lotoyn euax gyyomtsktz, yzuxq... Utik euax puh oy lotoynkj... Eua yngrr subk zu znk mgrrkxe... cnkxk eua hkrutm...">"Zuey.. zngz igt'z larlorr znkox vaxvuyk..."Unable to say anything. Unable to proclaim your existance, that you are real.
>"sayz xkzaxt... zu znk..."The voices drown out all rational thought. You sink, deeper, and deeper... Into a nice... dream...
>"...zuehud..."Before you realise it, you've walked right up to the base of the bigass tower. Surrounded with a huge crystaline fence, and overrun with security on all sides. You doubt any kind of seduction strategy will work on these guys, they look rather serious. Definitely looks quite hard to infiltrate! But still, something deep inside you tells you that that tower has all the answers you need... You need to go there.
What will you do?
