[INTERLUDE:PHONOPHOBIA]
{A ‘teaser’ thread to show off ‘gameplay’ in regards to surreal and a bit terrifying environments and events.}

[While customary to put the rules at the END of the thread, this is not customary.]

[You all control one figure. Think over and discuss your actions together, one strike and you are out, and we start over again.]

[As a teaser of sorts, this is a bit of a test to see if this is enjoyable. If it is, I will continue on with the series.]

[Please don’t be silly and act as is required of you, i.e be serious.]

[Criticism, if well structured and constructive, is encouraged.]
--------
You awaken in an uncomfortable blue padded chair facing a cinderblock wall with dull yellow lines stenciled onto it. The room is well lit by fluorescent strip lights running across the ceiling, accompanied by an intricate network of pipes and wires. The air is stale and filled with the dull purr of electric generators humming a steady tune. Somewhere an alarm blares loudly, repeating a low tone and then a high tone.

Your path ahead is unclear.

The door is wide open, inviting you to step into the corridors of this facility and out of the comfort of the little familiarity you have with this one room.

Do you dare take that risk?

[STEP INTO THE MIND.]

((I sit behind a metal frame desk ladden with computer monitors, bathing my face in a soft white glow. "Yus? Is this a statement of approval or a sort of passive agressive smear?" I say, only half looking at the newcomer. "If it is approval, please tell me why you like it so I can keep in mind what sort of content I want to place in later posts."))

You step out into the hallway which is lit similarly by fluorescent light strips dangling from the ceiling by wires. The room you were in empties out into a horizontal corridor with a similar scheme, industrial gray cinder brick walls with yellow stenciling running along it. There are faded green steel doors on each side of the hall, unlabeled except for one which is closest to the end of the left hall; the door in question being marked ‘storage’ in commanding black letters. The left branch ends in an elevator guarded by two orange striped road barriers that could be easily moved or smashed if you were feeling destructive.

The right passage has a collection of wires trailing along the ceiling, connected to the ones from your room. This way ends in a sharp cutoff, the hallway dropping away shortly to a dark black iron walkway lit by poles with blue lights stuck every four feet in the guard rails. The void seems bottomless, and a blast of uncomfortably warm air wafts up from it. The closer you get to this pit the stronger the sound of the generator’s tune becomes, until it almost draws you towards it.

You creep over to the edge of the pit where the hum is coming from and peer down, your vision being swallowed up by the endless, featureless oblivion underneath. Your imagination conjures up mysterious shadows and horrific shapes to populate the darkness in an almost mesmerizing effect. The longer you look the harder it is to pull away as morbid curiosity fastens you to the tile you crouch upon until you feel a hand slowly and ever so gently rests on your back and begin to ease you off the ledge and down into the inky void below.

I jolt, startled and stand up, looking at the one who pushed me.

I have to say I wonder what is in this hole, and why this person wants us in it. Although I agree with the choice to see who this person is. It's better than ending up in a bad situation and not knowing the "who, what, when, why and how."

You turn to find that there is no one there though the sensation of the hand still lingers. However, the lights in the hallway have changed from casting a stark white light to a cold blue one and the generator’s noise has been drowned out by the sound of a low pitched rumble filling your ears with a deep bass pitch, and if you stand still long enough, you can feel a slight tremor in the ground. Something else catches your eye though.

All the doors in the hall are open outwards, blocking your view of what may be inside.

I am curious about these tremors, but there is not much we can do about that at the moment. I agree with Ab, although I can't shake the feeling that something unpleasant will be behind one of these doors.

As you slowly approach the door the rumble intensifies until it fills your ears and the hall shakes. And then the tone ceases for a split second as each of the doorways slam with an ear-splitting bang; leaving you with a dull ring in your ears. When you come to your senses, the hall is lit in white again and the generator continues to chug along. The alarm that has been whining all this time has now stopped, and in its place it has left an uneasy air.

I back away and run from the corridor, scared.

I would vote to stop running as soon as possible and recollect ourselves. As scared as we are, we do not know the layout of this area and running will only get us into a situation we don't want to be in.

You flee back down the metal catwalk over the void and make it a good ways down before a part of your mind forces you to stop and regain your senses. The darkness here is eerie, and the lights cast a smaller circle of light than the ones in the hallway; which is not visible from your current standpoint. Your heart pounds in your ears, a rhythmic thumping that drowns out other noise. The generator’s hum isn’t as loud as before, and it doesn’t retain the same drawing qualities.

I vote to grip your left wrist with your right arm and walk slowly but cautiously forward.

(Don't ask, it's just something I do when I'm nervous irl, but it honestly helps)

You advance through the darkness from pool of light to the next; back towards the hallway with the shadow figures you imagined earlier beginning to reappear; though instead of being mesmerizing they now seem frightening and horrible. Your footfalls create a dull, hollow metal clang with each you take, growing a bit louder to closer you come to the pale white light radiating from the way you came inset in a solid wall of concrete, wires, pipes, pistons, and machinery. The wall stretches off into the darkness on either side, dwarfing you with its sheer size.

You climb over the railing and onto a good sized pipe jutting from the wall of equipment and begin to shimmy along it until the pipe abruptly ends a couple feet farther when it goes into the wall. A couple thinner pipes remain going the direction you are travelling, but they may not support your weight for very long, if at all.
