Okay bro I wanna make sure that this is enough to make Kazuo piss his pants because I love torturing everyone. Just look at Nihil.
So if we're doing specialized dungeons for shadows then I got this AAALLLLLLLLLL planned out.
Here and
here are good themes for this. Mainly the second one. :3
The dungeon starts out like some sort of twisted mansion. The entire place is fairly dark, most of the lights in the ceiling are either dim or flickering. The walls and most furniture is covered in some sort of dark red/pink, leathery substance. The floor is also made out of this stuff, but there's some sort of clear coating to it. The coating is some sort of crystal or glass-like layer giving the floor a hard surface. Though it is not made of ice, due to the "frosted" look of the floor, someone might mistake it for ice. The temperature isn't freezing, but it's cold enough in the dungeon to be uncomfortable to people not wearing warmer clothes. There is constantly a faint heartbeat, along with the occasional dripping sound accompanying a soft crying echoing throughout the halls.
Every once in a while, there is a framed portrait on the wall. The portraits seem relatively normal, except there are large, bleeding scratches where the faces should be, as if they were swiped by large claws. A lot of the portraits are clearly supposed to be Nihil from various ages, or at least a girl who looks very similar to her. As the group moves on, there'll be furniture and props displaying a clear theme of exclusion. A doll table set up with two regular chairs for two parent dolls, while the baby chair is smashed in pieces on the ground, with the child doll ripped to shreds. A pair of what seems to be two human hearts that seemed to have been sewn together at one point, however now the thread is ripped. Eventually there is a painting of a silhouette with a red string attached to their finger that trails off to the other end of the painting, which is scratched out similar to the portraits from before. There's other things like that scattered about.
As the group goes deeper into the dungeon, the leathery walls start to fade and are replaced with that same crystalline material, though sometimes shards or cracks in it are a blood red rather than clear. The place also gets slowly brighter, the older lights being replaced by brightly glowing crystal sections in the ceiling. The portraits become scarce and are replaced with carvings in the walls. Again, where the heads should be, they are gone, though this time where the head is, there's a charred black mass covering it, as if someone tried to burn something stuck to it. Though at the beginning, most of the pictures were clearly Nihil, these ones would be nearly unrecognizable to the rest of the group. The dripping and heartbeat fade away, but the crying only grows. Leading up to the final room, there is a long hallway filled with more pictures. However, these ones are different. It might be a bit hard to tell at first, but each one is someone in the persona group. Instead of having burnt faces, the faces are missing entirely, and the portraits are cracked, as if they had been smashed.
The final room is some sort of long throne room leading to a sort of stage where there is a crying Shadow Nihil, sitting atop a throne that looks like it's made of ice. The stage extends from the left wall to the right wall in the back, no spaces. On both corners there is a set of stairs leading down. At the bottom of these stairs are both carved reliefs of Nihil in a dress that gives an air of royalty about her.
As far as Nihil's dungeon goes, if anyone wants to see the possible scenario I've come up with so far and an explanation as to why I chose all of this stupid shit for her dungeon, then just ask. I love sharing my creative process-y stuff.
