THE ENDLESS HALL

AREA 2

DESIGNED BY: ana fell

THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS

[break]



With your waiver signed and your nerves steeled, you enter the looming mansion. You find yourself within a bare lobby, another GMH attendant standing in front of four distinct doors. After a moment of waiting, you are directed toward a door with a red handprint smeared across its surface. The attendant opens the door, and once you enter the door will close and lock behind you.[break][break]



You find yourself in a mundane hallway, unusually well-lit for what is supposed to be a haunted house. You begin your journey down the hall, slowly making your way to the red door that waits for you at its end. Unassuming mementos hang from the beige walls: a family portrait, a ticking clock, even some soothing paintings. Finally, you reach the door and open it without hesitation. However, on the other side of the door is the very same hallway—only longer and with more doors. These doors lead into the very same hallway, over and over again in an endless loop. As you keep moving forward, minor changes in the hallway begin to add up. The beige wallpaper begins to rot, the family portraits grow demented and violent, the paintings become frantic and grotesque. More and more doors get added to the hallway; sounds can be heard behind nearly every one yet they all lead into the same hallway. Every loop twists the hallway further, yet you have no choice but to move forward. There has to be an end—you just need to keep moving.

GUIDELINES

RULES

Your journey through the house has begun. It is now up to you to help your character navigate this haunted maze. Describe your character’s experience in as much or as little detail as you desire, but know that creative writing and displays of effort may be rewarded. You need not interact or acknowledge each other, but you are free to do so if you wish. For those who wish to practice their imagination, here are some resources to help you. [break][break]

What do they Hear: Behind the doors you can hear everything from laughter to shrieks of horror, unseen feet running through the hall, haunting music with no source—what else?[break][break]



What do they See: The hall grows more and more disturbing with every loop—in what ways?[break][break]



What do they Smell: The shift from a normal house to a dilapidated one—what does that smell like?[break][break]

The actual game occurs at the end of your post. Here is an overview of the rules:

• Roll three times. At least one of your rolls must meet the win condition of this thread. This Thread’s Win Condition: At least one rolled number must be Even.
• Every player starts with 50 resolve. Failure to meet the win condition on any of your rolls will cost the player 10 resolve. Reaching 0 resolve will eliminate that player from the game. Be sure to keep track of your resolve somewhere within your post.
• Continue taking turns posting until there is only one player left standing. Every eight posts I will interject with an event that may modify the game, so stay vigilant.
• There is no set deadline for posting, however to keep the intended pace there is a penalty for slacking. If you cannot post within two days after the post before you, you will be skipped over and lose 30 Resolve.
• Unless requested otherwise, your character is entering their area ALONE! As such, you may note if you are open to interaction or not. If someone is not open to interaction, that must be respected. Additionally, just because someone is open to interaction does not mean you are obligated to interact with them.

THE GHASTLY GARDEN

AREA 1

DESIGNED BY: Elisabeth Fiorelli

THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS

[break]
With your waiver signed and your nerves steeled, you enter the looming mansion. You find yourself within a bare lobby, another GMH attendant standing in front of four distinct doors. After a moment of waiting, you are directed toward a door with vines hanging off of its frame. The attendant opens the door, and once you enter the door will close and lock behind you.[break][break]

You have entered a ghastly hallway overgrown with vegetation. Scattered ivy drips from the rotting ceiling, with several strands low enough to tickle the top of your head. The walls on either side of you are made of glass, and looking through them you will find miniature greenhouses choked with various plants. As your stare lingers, you swear you can see faces hiding within the foliage—surely just a trick of the mind. Roses growing from the floor mark your way forward, but do not stop to smell them. These Flowers give off a repugnant scent, a mixture of blood and mildew. As you begin your journey, you think that this horrific conservatory may not be as scary as you anticipated. That may change when you come upon a shattered glass wall, the plants that sat within mysteriously missing...

A SPOOKY ADVENTURE

SETTING: MAUVILLE CITY

GAME OF CHANCE

EXPOSITION

AS THE APOCALYPSE DRAWS NEAR, a cloud of dread hangs over the HOENN region. Public servants to the very end, GMH (GREATER MAUVILLE HOLDINGS) announces a block party styled Halloween faire within MAUVILLE CITY. Utilizing every connection he has, OSCAR CLAYTON sets up a spooktacular wonderland across Mauville's streets. Attendees can enjoy everything from costume parties to trick or treating, fun for everyone as they turn their attention away from their horrific and INEVITABLE DEMISE.[break][break]



None of that interests YOU though, or if it did you got through it far too quickly and now have nothing better to do. Luckily, Oscar has a special SURPRISE for those with--particular tastes. It's hard to miss: an enormous structure that you swear you've never seen before. The front had an elaborate façade meant to look like a dilapidated mansion, which hid a sprawling warehouse that could be seen from certain angles. When did they have time to build this? Or--was it always here and you just never noticed?[break][break]



You draw closer, curiosity overriding your sense of reason. In front of the path to the bizarre attraction sits a sign that reads thusly:

❝𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄, 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐒, 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃'𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄.

Hyperbole aside, a haunted house sounds like a fine Halloween treat, and so you pass through the rusted gates--unaware of the NIGHTMARE you are about to endure.
