Who: The Alices
What: The next World's door isn't opening, but the Cat's left something open behind him instead
Where: ▒▒▒▒▒
Warnings: Potential for (non-permanent) death, there's a few body parts around, an eye in a jar, and also mentions of a sewing needle; will update with further info

The Cat hadn't shown up the entire time everyone was in the Hub. It probably was a tiny bit disconcerting. But still, they are ushered on to the next World. But as they go, they'll be greeted with the Cat... Walking away with his back turned to them. He steps through a literal hole in the wall, perfectly round, on the far side of the room where the doors are. And then, it stays open. Should they try the doors, only the ones they've been to previously will open. That hole must be awfully tempting, if the Cat left it.

When they enter, they awaken to a very odd place indeed. An alleyway with one end fenced off and a large grave in the middle of it. The only other way to go is an old factory. Upon entering, they will find the space is off in itself. The machinery is all rusted, but there's the sense that touching the controls could turn it on. And in one corner, in an area that's far more warehouse because this place seems to be patched together from a factory, warehouse and basement, is an old mattress with bloodstains on it and the floor around it. Various body parts, some fresh, some far more decayed and only bone, all seem to be scattered around. There's thick thread--almost like wire--and a large sewing needle that's definitely seen use. On a stand next to the old beat-up mattress is a jar with a single eye in it, red in iris coloring. All of the text everywhere is garbled and unreadable, and the entire world is inverted in coloring. It's probably disorienting.

The Cat doesn't seem to be anywhere they can find, although scraps of cloth in a few places look similar enough to what he wears. There's definitely more to this place beyond the fence outside, but there's no discernible way to get past it. No powers that could help them get over it are accessible, and trying to use any extrasensory powers will earn a splitting headache and nausea similar to that caused by the mysterious voice from before. In fact, the entire area gives the sense that they're not normally supposed to be here.

Where did they get to now...?

Not much, not yet. The grave seems like it was put down before the stones... it's odd that it's still there.

[It's still a little awkward talking to Otoha, but not quite as much as it had been.]

That's weird... anything inside of it, though?

[personal profile] frozentear 2016-08-15 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
There's stone below it so I couldn't get very far.

[Hmm...]

You're pretty strong, aren't you? Maybe you could get further.
bakegarasu: (always in the end)

I can try.

[He heads over towards the grave with Sebastian. Gonna look down at the stones... is there any way he can tug a stone out of place from the seams?]

[ They're definitely not entirely flat. It was all laid by hand, it looks like, and the stone matches what's obviously hasty handiwork. ]

[If he wedges his sword into it, will he be able to pry up anything loose or will it break his sword? He'd stop before any damage is really done to his sword.]
bakegarasu: (determination of the strong)

[personal profile] bakegarasu 2016-08-16 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He springs up as soon as the Cat starts talking, backing off.]

... Yours?

Nah. I came back, so it can't be mine.
