The Essence of Souls [Open, PM me for bio submission]

[Battal]

<I seriously don't know what's going on, so...I'm going to sleep.>

Oxryklne flies down into Barry's bag.

[Ellebelly24]

"Crap!! This hat was brand new!"

[Percival]

The doll jumps onto Lily's head and tumbles on the ground. A cloud of dust billowed around.

(I half know, half don't know what is going on.)

[Blewcheese]

"Oxy, we could really use your help with..."

Barry shakes his head.

"Bah, forget it. Go to sleep."

(Well... I had something completely different in mind from whatever it is that you guys are doing. I'm interested to see where this goes...)

"Wait..."

*Lily picks the doll up*

"Use your head..? Does that have something to do with my hat...?"

[Blewcheese]

"But that would be your head. Unless the sign is directed towards you alone..."

Barry trails off, thinking.

[Percival]

(I am so sorry Blewcheese. Please forgive me.)

 

The doll, now has a blank expression. In its own hands is what resembles glowing coals, except white.

 

""Does quispiam have a tinted hydria?"

[Ellebelly24]

*Lily takes her hat off*

"... I'm so confused right now..."

*She looks confusedly at the doll*

"Why do you need a tinted barrel?"

[Blewcheese]

(Forgive you? For what? You didn't do anything wrong...)

"Use your head. That means think."

Barry groans with frustration and throws the sign to the floor.

"Why are we listening to a stupid sign, anyway?!"

[Ellebelly24]

"Ugh... I don't know, because we are stuck here unless we find some time if sorcerer..."

[Percival]

(Aw crap, the translator is broken. Google to the rescue! After this, I need to sleep. Bye. it was supposed to say jar. I'm sorry for messing up. I'll just leave now.. I have failed.)

 

"Et color est sicut murus."

[Ellebelly24]

(What? No!)

*Lily takes her hat and slams it on the sign*

[Blewcheese]

(Aw, man. Well, goodnight.)

Nothing happens to either the sign or the hat, but something dawns on Barry.

"Hold up... Use your head. Use your head. Your head. Not someone else's. We don't have to listen to some stupid sign! Where did it say to go? To the right? Well, I'm going to the left!"

Barry marches off with something of a crazed finality.

[Ellebelly24]

*Lily grabs her hat and runs after him*

"You must be crazy!"

[Blewcheese]

"Yeah! I am!"

He keeps running, laughing. As they run, the cave grows narrower and narrower.

"Hey, at least something's finally changing!"

[Ellebelly24]

"I don't think this is very safe though!"

[Percival]

(You guys forgot me I don't need to sleep yet. )

Barry laughs again.

"Of course not! Because nothing in this god forsaken place is safe!"

They reach a dead end with a ladder leading down a hole.

(Well, you're with us, aren't you? Lily has you...)

[Percival]

(I don't see that anywhere. It just says you guys ran down the cave.)

Edited December 6, 2013 by Pecival

[Ellebelly24]

(Yeah, you're with me!)

"Great another hole..."

[Percival]

(Well, I shall be silent for a few posts...again. I'll reply later!)

[Blewcheese]

(Lily was carrying you the entire time. Through all of everything.)

Barry starts climbing down the hole, and a creaky and hoarse voice shouts a welcome.

You made it! Took you long enough!

[Ellebelly24]

"Who are you?"

*Lily jumps down the hole, and right before she hits the ground, she grabs the ladder*

[Blewcheese]

There is a somewhat large cavern, the size of a large room. In the center there is a cage made up of shadows, and therein is an odd looking man. He wears a suit and tie, and has an oddly shaped nose. The rest of the cavern is chock full of chests, farms, beds, anything a survivor could need.

Just a lonely man. You did say you'd give me company, remember?

(Maxwell...)

"Sure...? So, why are you so lonely?"
