It drips off the edges, sizzling and hissing with threats of bringing harm upon anything that comes too close. It simmers just barely off the ground, vibrating bubbles exploding to reveal spotless vinyl floors. Gray floor. So very gray and pungent with the bitter scent of antiseptics and the artificial citrus of disinfectants. He scrunches up his nose, capable of recognizing those scents anywhere. They make him fucking nauseous. And, then there's those walls revealed by the dripping darkness... Those pristine white walls lined by gray doors. Those with handrails and signs and lights that flicker in alarm. There's so many alarms. Machines that constantly beep. The distant sound of hurried footsteps, wheels, and even an ambulance. Dissonant. A cacophony. It fills him with anxiety. The darkness takes the form of a place he has grown to hate. A place he knows well and yet that brings only reminders of death. Perhaps that's why he's silent when the Espurr by his side looks up at him with its huge deadpan eyes, its expression failing to reveal any emotion while Yuze's own reveals much more than what he would ever like. Deep displeasure. Concern. Uneasiness. Apprehension. Doubt. Dread. Despair. Pain. Stress. Anxiety. Dismay. And, above all, terror. Yuze is afraid. Of what? He would never say. It's the Espurr that continues onwards before he does, soft paws calmly stepping onto spotless vinyl as if drawn to what lies at the end of the hospital's hallway. Yuze doesn't want to see what lies at the end of the hallway. ESPURR'S HP: 100/100

Doors, doors, and more doors... He's not even sure which one of the Espurr this is: they have yet to be given names and there's no obvious way to tell them apart from what another. It does not matter. He follows regardless of which one it might be. Why? Why is he putting himself through this kind of torment? Morbid curiosity? A need to learn? Or... Is it perhaps that he thinks he deserves to go through this? Yuze's fists clench. A cruel laugh echoes through the hallways. They pass by that room. The one with the dozens of taupe colored chairs that look incredibly comfortable but never are. That room he has come to despise. The chairs are empty this time. She is not there. There is no one there. No doctors. No nurses. No tired and nauseous patients. Its deserted. The telephones ring and nobody answers them. The beeping won't stop. The alarms won't stop. There's no one to make them stop. There's no one here, but there's still that laugh. That laugh that haunts him as if it were right behind him. Where? Where is she? He had expected her to be here, but she's nowhere to be seen. This is all wrong. This hospital's layout is all wrong. The Espurr keeps on walking, as if drawn forward, and Yuze realizes he has no fucking idea where its going. Double doors. A red light. An operation currently in process... The doors open for the Espurr and it walks in. ESPURR'S HP: 50/100

Yuze • Weekend Warrior Mythstar Posts: 223 Trainer Class: Player Name: Vera Miroslavova Kovacheva, PhD OOC Username: Stells Arena Points: 70	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Yuze on Jun 3, 2023 10:10:34 GMT 9 There's bright fluorescent lights that blind him when first stepping into the operation room, needing a moment to adjust to the harsh change and to the sight of those dark corners where corruption still menacingly sizzles. There's cables and tubes that snake around every surface in the room. The walls, the ceiling, and especially the vinyl floors. There's the ceaseless beeping of machines, the flicker of monitors displaying scans of brain activity. No... They're displaying current brain activity. "No... They couldn't have..." Yuze whispers. But, unaffected by his concern, the emotionless Espurr points, drawing his attention to the most obvious thing in the room: right there, on the bed, lies her motionless body, countless tubes and cables connected flesh while blood drips down onto vinyl... Arms... Legs... Chest... Neck... Head. "Fuckers." Before even putting any thought to his own actions, Yuze runs to the bedside, tugging at cables in an attempt to pry them out of her, even using force if necessary. It's her body, so how could he not? How could he not panic? How could he not be angry? How could he not freeze when those eyes of burgundy open and stare back at him?... His blood runs cold. When her hand reaches for his neck, has no time to react, and even if he had had the time, he probably wouldn't have. She squeezes, sharp nails digging into his skin. A tube snaps. Liquid drips. Her eyes stare into his. She strangles him. The worst part of it all is that he had allowed himself to be fooled by it. To forget. The logic is so simple: just like when having vivid dreams, deep dive VR engages all the senses, and in these sensory responses, the brain treats these situations as if they were reality. Vera knows all this. She could go on for hours about the science behind it. And yet, here she is, caught in this waking nightmare. It's all real because her fear is real. It's all real because just before everything goes dark, all she can hear is the sound of her own cruel and mocking laugh while looking into her own eyes. ESPURR HP: 0/100 HgQ3s75q1-20 1-20
