<div style="color: #CCFFFF;"> <p class=ngm><B>BLOODLETTERS.</B> A super fun tour of purgatory! A few tourists have gathered at the meeting space, a stone building just outside of the city. It looks like it would be the set of some cheesy old horror flick, or the favorite hang out for teenagers practicing fake witchcraft. <span class="time">-Eliza</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum Leigh: </span> Callum sighed as he wandered toward the dimly lit building, a cheerful girl skipping along behind him. He should have never made that bet. But how was he to know she'd have such accuracy with a handgun? "Okay, you may have well deserved this, but that doesn't mean your gunsmith training is on hold at all. Glass bottles are one thing, moving targets are another, especially if you don't want to kill them. As soon as this tour is over, you're going right back to the gun range, you hear me?" he barked authoriatatively, even if it never seemed to phase her in the least. The young woman only grinned and nodded quickly, crossing her arms behind her back innocently. "I promise, Cal. Though you shouldn't have underestimated me in the first place just because I'm a girl. That's your own fault." she laughed softly before gripping onto his right arm, grinning up at him. He merely rolled his eyes and continued looking around, searching for their guide. His hand lifted to stroke behind his left ear where his bloodletter had been carved earlier, eyes flicking over to Halla to make sure hers was still intact as well, just under her left collarbone, smeared in her blood. <span class="time">-06:19 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> Eliza herself didn't look like a cheap horro movie knock-off. But she did look like the typical tour guide. Slacks, a simple black button up shirt. A jacket that had pockets stuffed full of stuff and a messenger bag slung over her shoulder. Eliza was glancing at the watch on her wrist with only a mild bit of impatience. People payed her good money to be here, the least they could do was show up on time, right? <span class="time">-06:21 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> (You're good. 8D shorter, quicker posts will help though. >:D) <span class="time">-06:22 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> Equipped with a sound recorder, strictly for taking notes, the young and ambitious Satoru stuffed his hands into the pockets of his hoodie. The stonework of the building was a little banal in his opinion and it only seemed to serve as a way to make him feel colder than he already was. It would be a sucky first field study if his hands and nose never warmed up. He didn't know anyone in the group, so he was content with just standing there, staring around and committing everything he saw to the file in his memory marked "useless". <span class="time">-06:28 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "I guess everyone that is going to make it, has made it." Eliza muttered, looking at her watch again before pulling a clipboard out of her bag. She counted at least seven heads. That would be easy enough to keep track of, so long as everyone followed the rules. "Welcome to the Tour, I am Eliza, your guide. Before we start, I need everyone to show me their bloodletter. You will, absolutely not, enter through the doorway without a bloodletter. So, lets start with you." She pointed at Callum with a pen first. <span class="time">-06:31 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum Leigh: </span> Finally catching sight of a few people, Callum quickly pulled Halla toward them. <b>"This is the Purgatory tour, yes? </b> he asked one person standing there as he looked around and noticed the one who he assumed was the tour guide. He looked up as she addressed him and pulled a face behind his <a href='http://tinypic.com/r/wl3j1w/6' title='http://tinypic.com/r/wl3j1w/6' target='_blank'>black trench</a> that covered his mouth. He looked aside to Halla before pulling back his hair and moving his ear slightly to show off the letter. Halla stood to the side with a smile, her chest cleaqrly showing her own Gamma symbol. <span class="time">-06:36 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "Good. I need everyone to remember that the bloodletter MUST remain covered in fresh blood at all times. Should it start feeling dry, you are to tell me immediately." Eliza moved, becking a few of the others in the room to show theirs before she was stopping by Nozara. "You too, I need to see." <span class="time">-06:38 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> "It appears," Satoru said softly into his recorder, "that the letters are taken very seriously. Is this still some kind of superstition, some kind of morbid hoax for the amusement of the tour staff? Or do these symbols really protect us? I'm going to find out." He hit the stop button on the recorder and pocketed it again, then stepped up to the guide with a smile capable of only an insincere professional with the letters "Dr" preceding his or her name. Casually, he lifted the hem of his hoodie and the faded band-tee underneath and showed off the symbol carved just above the waist of his jeans. "Do I pass the test?" he asked, cocking his head to the side, <a href='http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g339/ComposeMySoul/Real%20Life%20Characters/Real%20Life%20Males/Close%20Ups/5f4471a9.jpg' title='http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g339/ComposeMySoul/Real%20Life%20Characters/Real%20Life%20Males/Close%20Ups/5f4471a9.jpg' target='_blank'>dark hair</a> bouncing to one side of his face a moment before he righted his stance again. <span class="time">-06:45 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FFFFFF;"> [Madison Amelia walks up to the small group of people, her notepad in hand to take notes for her internship at the local paper] <span class="time">-06:47 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> Eliza's eyebrow quirked up just a bit at the man, but she nodded. "Additional rules for this tour are as follows. You do not break away from the group. You may take pictures, you may look. Do not touch anything. Do not try to open random doors. Do not follow anything no matter how much it begs you to. Do not <i>speak</i> to anything outside of the group." Eliza was still crossing the space, now stopping by Madison. "Show me your bloodletter." <span class="time">-06:49 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum Leigh: </span> Callum's remaining eye twitched when he heard the tour guide mention that their letters must have fresh blood over them at all times. He waited until the woman was done inspecting the scientist before stepping closer. <b>Does the blood have to be our own?"</b> he asked cocking his head slightly as he watched her approach the student. If he could help it, he wasn't going to force Halla to cut herself again and would sacrifice his own blood to keep her safe. The girl beside him pouted and elbowed him in the side, as if she knew what he was thinking. <span class="time">-06:50 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FFFFFF;"> [Felicity McCannen runs toward the group, her heels clicking loudly on the stone. ] <span class="time">-06:52 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> She tilted her head to regard Callum for a moment, narrowing her eyes just a bit at his exchange with the girl. "No. I have blood that can be used." She was patiently waiting on Madison. <span class="time">-06:52 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison Amelia: </span> She looked at the other two three people and offered at small smile. She gripped her notepad tighter, almost breaking her pencil in the process and mentally reminded herself to breath and that she was here to land that job she was working for hard for as a journalist. She bit her bottom lip nervously as the tour guide asked her for her bloodletter and lifted her sleeve modestly to show hers under the loose fiitng sleeve and smiled. "Is this okay?" She asked softly, wanting to fade into the crowd. <span class="time">-06:53 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "It'll do." she mumbled, seeming to be scribbling down everyone and their letters on her clipboard. She moved to Felicity and made the same request to see the bloodletter. "Remember, if at any time it goes dry, I need to know immediately. This is the one rule you should not break. For your own safety." <span class="time">-06:55 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> "Excuse me, but," Satoru spoke up, moving close to the guide again. "Does only the blood <i>you</i> possess work on these symbols?" She hadn't been very clear when she'd answered that other guy. <span class="time">-06:58 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #01C5BB;"><span class="username">Felicity McCannen: </span> Felicity looked around breathlessly at the small group assembled, tugging at her blouse to smooth it while she caught her breath. She felt a little elbarrassed now that she saw that they hadn't departed yet. Brushing a stray strand of hair out of her face and finally breathing normally, she looked to the woman with the clipboard. Obvously their guide. Felicity smiled a little sheepishly as she unbuttoned the first two pearl buttons on her lilac-colored blouse to reveal the mark carved into her chest. "I'm so sorry, I was running behind..." <span class="time">-06:59 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison: </span> Madison scribbled down her own notes and glanced at everyone with her eyes hidden by her dangling hair so she could take notes of their letters without seeming like she was just....starting. She glanced to the newcomer and smiled at her warmly, then went back to jotting notes and listening to the Q&A being tossed between the group. <span class="time">-07:01 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> She looked briefly annoyed, as if the question was a stupid one. But didn't vocalize her thoughts. "Your own blood works just fine, but I figure no one here wants to constantly be digging a knife in to their own skin. Was I wrong?" Eliza jotted down Felicity's. ...that should be everyone. "Before I open up the doorway, do we have any more last minute questions? Anyone need to go to the bathroom or something?" <span class="time">-07:01 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum Leigh: </span> Callum eyed the group assemeled in-so-far and was thouroughly unimpressed. What were 'normal' people like this going on a tour of Purgatory? Two of those girls looked like they'd scream if they saw a mouse but that scientist seemed a little off, as if he was accoustomed to this sort of thing. He moved to grip Halla around the shoulders and pulled her closer. He wasn't about to let his ward run off and get seperated. <span class="time">-07:03 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison: </span> Madison slowly raised her hand up and swallowed nervously, notcing the look the guide gave the other person. "What happens if we get seperated?" <span class="time">-07:05 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> He certainly had no problem drawing his own blood for science, but Satoru supposed she had a point when considering the rest of the group. "Yes I have one last question," he said, digging out the recorder again. He clicked the record button and held it in the space between him and the guide. "How many of us do you figure will make it out of this alive? A rough guess is perfectly fine." Friendly smile. <span class="time">-07:05 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #01C5BB;"><span class="username">Felicity McCannen: </span> "Oh thank goodness. I was really wondering if we would have to somehow... use our own." Felicity looked uncomfortable at the idea, and even more disturbed by the scientist's. They would all make it out... right? This was just a tour after all. They had a guide and everything. Felicity looked from face to face nervously. Maybe this wasn't the best idea she had ever had. <span class="time">-07:06 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> Eliza pointed at Madison first. "If you get separated, you will get lost and likely never be found again. You might keep yourself safe for a time by letting blood from your letter to keep it fresh. But eventually Purgatory will have you." Eliza then turned to Satoru and almost looked as if she wanted to slap that recorder out of his hands. "If everyone is smart and is does as they are told, no one will die. I've already been paid, so it would be wise to be responsible for your own life..." She cast a bit of a sardonic smile for a moment. "Any other questions?" <span class="time">-07:08 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum Leigh: </span> Callum took this moment to speak up.
"Yeah, can we get this show on the road? I'm getting bored here." he grumbled out, his pale eye glaring down the others. He didn't pay to stand around and hear questions. Halla again frowned at him, but he looked away, ignoring her disapproval. It was ridiculous that he had to be here in the first place. NEVER again would he bet against her skill. <span class="time">-07:11 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> He didn't have any more questions at the moment. He was sure more would present themselves to him soon enough but for now, he was happy with what he'd already learned and simply shook his head. Underneath his cool, calm exterior, he was excited and anxious to get this, as another had put it, <i>'show on the road'</i>. <span class="time">-07:13 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison: </span> Madison scribbled down notes and glanced back up, thinning her lips to keep the hum of excitement from escaping her. She was excited by the lick of fear crawling down her spine and it caused her skin to tingle under her sweater. The sane part of her screamed moron at her over and over, but the part of her hidden behind logic was as curious as a child gazing at the night sky. The wonder of what hid behind the darkness was always enticing. She took at step closer to the other girl that arrived late and smiled brightly, hoping to have found a friend to stick with. "No use in being a loner, right? I'm Madi." <span class="time">-07:17 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #01C5BB;"><span class="username">Felicity McCannen: </span> Somehow their guide's words weren't exactly reassuring. Felicity gripped her purse tighter in order to disguise the shaking in her hands. She took a steadying breath and thought of her purpose. More than just to gawk; some had said that you could gain insight and understanding here. And the was in need of both. <span class="time">-07:18 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "All right there. Stay close, do as I say, don't do anything stupid." Eliza eyed the group, doing one final headcount and a quick memorization of their faces. She finally crossed the room towards a large stone wall. It was bare, except for a big rectangle shape drawn on with white chalk. Her clipboard disappeared in to her bag, and a small knife took it's place. With a quick series of motions she carved out a symbol on the palm of her hand, then pressed it against the stone wall. In the blink of an eye the shape flashed! Leaving a strange ripple effect on the wall. "Follow me." Eliza stepped through first. <span class="time">-07:18 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum: </span> Callum grinned beneath the fabric of his trench and followed after the guide eagerly, Halla under his arm. He wasn't sure what to expect here, but he was always one for adventure. Purgatory seemed a good place to start on his mission for life lessons and if lkuck was on his side, he'd come across his old nemesis in Death. <span class="time">-07:21 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> The recorder was in his hand again and Satoru was mumbling more words to it as he followed behind the guide and the first few to pass through the "wall". <span class="time">-07:28 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> On the other side, everything didn't look much different. It was almost like passing through a mirror. Only instead of a perfect reflection of the stonewalled room, it was stretched out like an endless hallway filled with doors. Eliza was there, waiting by the doorway, counting people as they passed through. They were taking their sweet damned time with it. How long did they think this tour would last? <span class="time">-07:30 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #01C5BB;"><span class="username">Felicity McCannen: </span> Eyes wide, Felicity looked at the guide and the rippling wall with stunned amazement. She hadn't seen anything quite like that before... She got in line to go through the rippling doorway, fear and excitement warring within her as to what might come next. <span class="time">-07:30 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison: </span> Madison walked through the wall and went wide eyed as she walked through to the other side. She flipped her paper, then scribbled down notes, followed by doodles to the side. <span class="time">-07:31 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> Still muttering notes to the recorder hidden in his sleeve, not that he thought he was doing anything illegal. He probably looked stark raving mad, whispering things to his hoodie's sleeve, gazing around with piercing eyes. <span class="time">-07:35 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #b22222;"><span class="username">Aiden Brooks: </span> Aiden pushed red lockes of hair out of his face to see clearly, nodding to the guide. Don't do anything stupid, a simply enough instruction. In his hand rested a notebook, a few writing utensils tucked away in his pocket. He'd already noticed others with similar ideas of documenting, holding paper and such, and even a camera. Intent not to fall behind, he quickly followed the group inside. A seemingly endless hall waited on the other side, opening his notebook, he made a quick sketch. <span class="time">-07:36 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum: </span> Callum looked up and down the hallway, noting all the doors and wondering where each one led. He was a naturally curious person, but seeing as this wasn't his neck of the woods he decided to keep to Eliza's advice. His eyes strayed to halla who looked around in wonder, snapping pictures with her digital camera, grinning wildly. That girl was some kind of special.. He looked to the guide and waited for her to start speaking of the tour and space they were in. <span class="time">-07:38 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "Let me remind you again, not to open any doors or leave the group..." Eliza muttered as people passed her. She was pensive, slightly stiff... and very very watchful of the room and halls around them. Once every last person passed through, she placed her hand back on the doorway. The ripple ceased and they were sealed in. Couldn't let <i>things</i> escape purgatory, could they? "Welcome to Purgatory! -What- this place is, is still under debate and exploration. Theories include; Hell Part One, Ghost Territory, Simple Mental Mindfucks, and my personal favorite, the place between dimensions. If you'll continue to follow me, please..." She started walking down the hall. Now that they were moving, it seemed like the hallway wasn't just one continuous hall. Ever so often they would pass a previously unseen turn or bend. The entire place must of been like a maze. <span class="time">-07:40 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #01C5BB;"><span class="username">Felicity McCannen: </span> Felicity looked around. She was somewhat disappointed with just how normal the place seemed. She had expected more... something. Nodding to the guide, Felicity kept with the group, taking out her phone to snap and few pictures nonetheless. <span class="time">-07:42 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison: </span> Madi wrote down notes of the doors. Each one seems to have its own design. And each door screamed sinister, beckoning, enticing imagination. Her hands twiched on her notepad, but she kept them where they were and followed the guide into the maze. <span class="time">-07:45 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> "The 'Purgatory' is one giant optical illusion of a maze. Edges and corners blend like a chameleon to its surroundings so it is easy to see how one would quickly become lost." He was still talking to the opening of his sleeve, gazing around with a smile on his lips that really shouldn't have been there. It was as if he were taking a quiet stroll through the park on a warm, breezy spring day. "Judging by the guide's sudden change in behavior, refering of course to tense and slightly worried aura, our survival rate has just dropped to roughly seventy-four percent." <span class="time">-07:48 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #CCFFFF;"> <p class=ngm>The deeper the group traveled, the less and less 'normal' everything seemed. Walls were warped. Doors twisted and crooked. Before long the hallway got wider and instead of a deafening silence, it almost seemed as if there were whispers all around them. <span class="time">-Eliza</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "Do you not have a better way to collect your data? Video tape like a normal human being?" Eliza exclaimed out loud, casting the 'Doctor' a dirty look over her shoulder. She had done many of these tours, and there was always at least one whackjob to get on her nerves. <span class="time">-07:50 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> "Note to self: Purgatory <i>starts off</i> as an optical illusion. Be sure to edit." He clicked off the recorder to conserve memory space and smiled softly at the guide. "I won't even listen to these tapes. It's the act of saying the details and thoughts out loud that helps me remember them." He'd brought the recorder because he'd seen a cop do something similar in some old detective movie and thought it'd be fun. <span class="time">-07:53 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum: </span> Callum smirked as Halla jumped beside him at the guides sudden outburst and let his eyes stray to the other man. <b>"Maybe <i>your</i> odds have dropped, but I'm not worried in the least for myself and Halla.."</b> he husked to the man with a grin. <b>"Perhaps it would be better if you didn't alarm the ladies of the group with your pessimism though.."</b> he finished, his eye scanning over their surroundings. <b>"I'm quite sure this group was not formed so people could pay to die, correct, Miss Eliza? In other words, pay attention to your surroundings and follow the rules and your odds are increased."</b> <span class="time">-07:55 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #b22222;"><span class="username">Aiden Brooks: </span> Aiden shared that personal favorite of Eliza's. If this place a way between dimension, then how many dimensions were there... how great it would be to explore them, see things that no one else in their world has? It would be great, too bad he'd have to stay with the group. He continued to sketch more scenes as the surrounding changed and started to look more like an M.C. Escher piece. <span class="time">-07:55 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison: </span> Madison looked to the man talking in his sleeve and smiled at him, scribbing down more notes in her pad and fixed her pace with the crowd. She was starting to walk ahead like an excited child. The walls seems to talk to her, calling her name, finding the part of her soul that made her skin run cold with dread and wonder. "What is it about this place that makes you want to shed all logic and reason and venture out?" She whispered to herself, more than to anyone. <span class="time">-07:57 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #01C5BB;"><span class="username">Felicity McCannen: </span> She cast a wary glance at the man in the hoodie. She reeeaaaly hope he was pulling those percentages from somewhere and that they had no actual bearing. The surroundings were also beginning to change, taking on an unnerving carival funhouse quality that set Delicity's teeth on edge. She took another picture. Returning her phone to her purse, she gripped the straps until her knuckles were white and looked around at the rest of the group. She really semed to be the only one bothered. Even the little girl seemed more collected than she herself felt. <span class="time">-07:57 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> Satoru couldn't recall ever saying their odds had dropped <i>permanently</i>. However, he simply smiled at the disgruntled man and continued to gaze around. <span class="time">-07:57 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "Yes, lets not talk about death. This place listens." she muttered. Eliza was still a little cross, but she seemed to swallow that and resume the tour. She stopped near dark oak wood door, pumping her hand to make sure her letter was sufficiently bleeding before she pressed it against the door. As it creaked open, it revealed a completely different scene. Dark black caves with stalagtites and stalagmites all over the place. Glints of color in the stone. For anyone daring enough to lean for a closer look, it almost seemed like there was movement... <i>live</i> movement deep in those caves. "~This~ is an example of what you might find beyond the doors. A tame example." <span class="time">-08:00 Oct 13</span></div>

His eye narrowed and he moved to pull a switchblade from his pocket and quikly sliced open his thumb. He let the blood in the cut pool for a moment before swiping it over the teen's Gamma letter then over his own Zeta behind his ear just to be sure. Soon after, they were given the view into the caved room and his eyes narrowed in suspicion. No, this was no normal plane after all.. and as Eliza said, this was tame. "If someone were to enter one of these doors and you accidentally enclosed them within, would their escape be impossible without that sigil on your hand?" he asked curiously, trying to figure out the logistics of this place. <span class="time">-08:07 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #b22222;"><span class="username">Aiden Brooks: </span> "Listens?" He asked, suddenly interested in what was being said.

<div style="color: #01C5BB;"><span class="username">Felicity McCannen: </span> Felicity gasped softly. The walls in the cave just beyond the door were beautiful. She leaned within, looking at the play of light, the subtle almost half-imagined movement. Was it the shadows? Or something else? She reached a hand within her purse to draw out her phone and snap yet another picture. Her numb fingers fumbled and it fell, skittering across the cave floor. With a soft curse she stepped past the threshold to get it back, supporting herself on one of the strange stalagmites so as not to topple to the uneven floor in her heels. <span class="time">-08:10 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "Escape wouldn't be impossible, if you knew what your were doing. Improbable otherwise. Don't break away from the group." Eliza reaffirmed the rule, giving them all a pointed look. "As for whether or not this entire place is alive... I don't know. It does seem to have a mind of it's o-gah...!" The woman Felicity was getting away! Eliza was on her heels quick, snatching her by the back of the shirt and pulling her away from the stalagmite. She looked alarmed, pausing for a moment, waiting to see if something would happen. "I told you not to touch anything!" <span class="time">-08:12 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #CCFFFF;"> <p class=ngm>There it went again, those faint whispers in the main hall. But in the cave... the movement out in the shadows quickened. Turned. Shifted through the darkness. Never taking visible shape, but the scraping of something sharp against stone was echoing off the cave walls. <span class="time">-Eliza</span></div>
<div style="color: #9B30FF;"><span class="username">Nozara Satoru: </span> How curious and fascinating. A building that had, to some degree, sentient life. Suddenly Satoru had a million and one questions but at the moment the guide was clearly annoyed with how blunt he'd been. Perhaps a softer, more subtle approach was necessary. "Miss Eliza, may I ask if it's <i>'this place'</i> that is whispering with many voices at this very moment? Is it the creatures?" His facial expression was akin to a child feigning innocence...at least until he realized that Miss Eliza had run off to Felicity's aide. He sighed, putting a hand on his hip. At this rate, he'd learn next to nothing about this place. His mood was turning sour, but then something echoed in the cave. It was sinister sound and it immediately lightened his mood again. Recorder next to his lips, he watched the scene like a great hunter lying in wait for its prey to think it was finally safe to come out of hiding. <span class="time">-08:17 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison: </span> Madison gasped at the figures in the caves reached through great lengths, making it seem as if the walls were moving. It was a twisted, sicking, cruel feeling and she back away from the door, bumping into the person with the tape recorder and looked down, blushing. She stepped away from him and stood back in her normal spot, glancing back up at the caves. They seemed to be calling them. <span class="time">-08:17 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> This wasn't good. Eliza was dragging Felicity by the arm towards the door, none too kindly. "Stay in the hallway!" She shouted at the rest of the group, but she didn't get much further before there was something creeping in to the way. Her vision of the doorway was blocked by something dark. On her and Felicity's end, there was no more light to be seen! <span class="time">-08:23 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #CCFFFF;"> <p class=ngm>The view from the doorway revealed a much more sinister look. Black and leather, the creature was a good ten times the size of a human with a shape that only vaguely resembled a robot. The jaw was cut back so wide that there were rows and rows of teeth. Light from the doorway was making it's skin glisten and the whites of it's teeth glow. And just like that, with a movement almost too quick to catch with the human eye, it slithered in the darkness. Barreling in to the two women inside the cave and disappearing in to the dark. ...along with Felicity! <span class="time">-Eliza</span></div>

His eye widened as the walls of the cave seemed to pulse and come alive, scraping and clawing it's way toward the two women. Leaping into action, he pressed Halla close to the woman named Madison And slipped through the door to help. Then the creature showed itself. It was unlike anything he had ever witnessed and before he could blink the girl was taken. He quickly grabbed Eliza and pulled her back through the doorway, moving to slap the woman's hand over it to seal it back up. <b>What in the name of the gods was that?!"</b> he husked, gripping her shoulders. <span class="time">-08:26 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #EB5E66;"><span class="username">Madison: </span> Madison stared in awe at the creature, then reached out for Felicity and she was snatched away, but she was entirely too slow and the woman was gone.

Her voice was cold. <span class="time">-08:28 Oct 13</span></div>

There was literally only a glimpse before it was gone and the thing looked more like a badly put together fake. Satoru sighed, stuffing his hands back into his pockets. What this all just one big hoax? But what about the disappearances? Not that they mattered to him. He was only here to study the creatures and if the next few "monsters" looked fake as well, then he'd just leave. However, if they happened to be more realistic, then he'd be thrilled. And despite his logical, scientific thinking, he wasn't ashamed to admit that he was just a little worried about his own safety. Of course sacrifices had to be made for the greater good, especially when it came to science. But those sacrifices were named "Felicity". And maybe "Callum".

<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum: </span> Callum frowned as Eliza glared at him. Not like had just <i>saved her life</i> or anything. He rolled his eyes and moved to gather Halla back to his side, the younger girl gripping him around the torso tightly. He himself didn't plan on being taken by any of those creatures and he'd be damned if they touched his apprentice either. He pet the girl's auburn hair slowly until she looked up at him. Surprisingly, there was a big smile on her face. "I got it all on my camera!" she beemed, lifting her wrist to show off the screen. He sighed and dropped his fist on her head gently. <b>"You idiot."</b> he mumbled. He'd never understand her fascination with danger. Girls were supposed to be delicate, not crazed adrenaline fiends. He looked up as he sharp ears caught an oozing sound and smirked at the scientist. <b>"Better be careful, Doctor."</b> he grinned before turning away once more. <span class="time">-08:46 Oct 13</span></div>

"Yes, we need to move on." she blurted out quickly, turned on her heels to start marching onwards. Despite the many twists and turns, corners and doors, Eliza knew exactly which direction they were going.

A small shiver ran down his spine and a thought entered his mind - no, a <i>belief</i> - that the bloody message was directed at him, regardless of where it'd been written. "Maybe. Maybe not," he said with a smile. Talking to the wall. Because that wasn't crazy at all. And after the piercing scream, he slowly lifted the recorder to his lips and said, "It appears I've pissed off Purgatory." As an afterthough he added, "At the moment, I am feeling overwhelmed by the atmosphere. The air feels thick, nearly suffocating. Excellent results so far.

He for one, knew that panic was an enemy. It was one of the first lessons he'd been taught. He looked up as Eliza spoke, noting the bit of worry he heard in her voice... something was definitely wrong. His fingers absently went behind his left ear, nodding in approval when he noticed the re-application of blood was still wet. But no-one else had bothered, he noticed. <b>"I'm not going to die in this place because you simpletons can't follow a few simple rules."</b> he hissed to the crowd of followers before noticing Aiden take out a knife and cut open his letter again. <b>Take a hint like this kid and mayhbe you'll survive."</b> His eye narrowed as he heard the static-like recording repeat itself. <b>"Nice going, Doctor."</b> he mumbled sarcastically. <span class="time">-09:01 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #99182C;"><span class="username">Sabrina: </span> Sabrina looked at Eliza then at halla that slipped through, and let out a shriek as a hand flung through. Quickly, she escaped through the door letting out a "thank god!" as she did so. <span class="time">-10:31 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> "...two!" Eliza couldn't breathe! Her hands gripping the arm as she struggled to get free. ...maybe it was futile after all! Her hand reached out towards the doorway. If she was going down, she was making sure nothing else left this place. <span class="time">-10:33 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum: </span> Callum groaned as his back hit the ground and moved to kick out at his attacker, his hand moving to cover his wound with a hiss. <b>"You're fucking possessed still! I knew it! I knew I couldn't trust you!"</b> he spat and moved to kick the blade away freom the man, panting roughly as the blood oozed between his fingers at his exertion. <span class="time">-10:34 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FBEC5D;"> <font size=2>[Nozara gripped Callum's throat, pulling him into the wall with him. His eyes were bone white, his teeth grinning and jagged. "YOU'RE COMING WITH ME, CALLUM!" His flesh began to meld with the stone]</font> <span class="time">-10:35 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum: </span> Callum grunted as he felt the stone slip about his throat and grunted angrily. <b>"Just... Tell me she got out..."</b> he huffed, struggling to breathe as he began to sink into the porous rock. <span class="time">-10:40 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FBEC5D;"> <font size=2>[Nozara grinned, his breath like sulfur and the rotting dead. "She's with us now, Callum. For all eternity."]</font> <span class="time">-10:42 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> No one else was coming. They were lost to purgatory. So she was wrong after all, and it claimed what it wanted... Almost there...! Eliza reached and stretched until her fingers crossed over the chalk line and her bloodied hand was pressing against the rippling doorway. <span class="time">-10:42 Oct 13</span></div>

<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum: </span> Callum growled at the beast and struggled. <b>"You lie!"</b> He squirmed until he was able to slip his head under the stone arm, the tight grip pulling of the patch covering his left eye and scraping his forehead. He made a dive for the doorway and sealed it with his bloodied hand before stumbling down the hallway. Left, right, straight, straight, right... His mind grew foggy as he squinted into the darkness, seeing the rippling waves of the door, Halla sprawled on the grass just beyond. He grinned slightly and panted as he saw Eliza move to cover the door with her hand to close it up, most likely until the next tour. His eye met hers and he stopped dead, wondering if he was better off staying behind. <span class="time">-10:47 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FBEC5D;"> <font size=2>[Madison's arm tightened, the nails digging into Eliza's shoulder. It was trying to pull her back]</font> <span class="time">-10:47 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #2F4F4F;"><span class="username">Eliza: </span> She wasn't like the others, she wasn't so easily pulled or swayed or played with! The wall was solid against her back, but then that also meant she was being choked to death! Her vision was starting to black and she couldn't tell if she had managed to close the doorway or not. Her had slipped away from the chalk line and her body was falling limp. <span class="time">-10:51 Oct 13</span></div>
<div style="color: #FF3300;"><span class="username">Callum: </span> Callum blinked as he saw the pale arm jutting from the wall clinging into Eliza's flesh. Shuddering softly, he gathered what little energy he had left and ran at the woman, essentially tackling her out the door. He panted as he sunk to his knees just inside of the gates of Purgatory and lifted the arm from his gut, smearing it over his side of the rift. "See you on the next tour, 'Liza..." he husked just before the door sealed shut, his smile almost warm. <span class="time">-10:52 Oct 13</span></div>
