Alex said to the pale girl, "What about the man?" He saw Clamet poking him with a stick, then jumping back. At least, we know that he's solid and not an illusion. "Should we carry him? And, Clamet, could you hold on to the lantern? Don't lose it this time, now," he said. "What about the cabin? There might be something in there, too." So many options, so little time.

Alex guessed that the man would be very heavy. Now that Alex knew that the man wasn't an illusion, he couldn't leave him alone. Alex decided to carry the man by draping him over his shoulder. He was dead weight but, he might know something. "You guys go on and find shelter. I'll be behind you," Alex said. "And, please move slowly," he said under his breath.

Abberdean saw the boy haul the man over his shoulder.

"Hi." She approached the boy. "You, uh, need some help? I could help you carry that, uh, guy. If you want some help." She realized she was being extremely awkward. She stared at the boy for an awkward moment before saying, "If you need it..." She smiled shyly.

[What's an OC thread, again?]
Darius opened his eyes. He was in a cabin roughly the size of a toolshed. There was a warm fire pleasantly crackling in the fireplace built in the wall. It cast enough light to clearly make out a bookshelf on the wall opposite him. A quick check told him that he was in fact sitting down. He got up and almost fell back down.His head was pounding and his muscles were sore, Getting up made the ground feel like it was spinning beneath him. He stumbled to the window and looked outside. He could see a patch of earth at the doorstep lit by a lantern, but beyond that it was black. Looking outside the window, something itched at the edge of his psyche. He turned around and the itch subsided.He paced to the bookshelf and traced a finger across the selection. All of the books were unmarked and colored various earthen tones, arranged in no particular order. With no indication of what would particularly tickle his fancy, he pulled one out brought it to the chair...

[And now we're in intro state. Darius is incapable of doing anything until outside influence gets off his ass. EDIT: And apparently lots of things have gone down since started writing. Darius wasn't just laying there, though. I intentionally left out what he was doing while he forgot. That's why I put it down as a two-parter intro in the OC thread.]

((I am going to use a part of one of my nightmares for this roleplay. I also think I may add some more fears to my list after this post.))

I wake up. I was still in this weird dream, or was it a nightmare, or was it real? I ignore my thoughts and decide to keep moving. The forest glistened with frost as I walk. I walk about a quarter of a mile and something falls next to me. I look at what fell. A plank of wood. But why was there a plank of wood in the middle of a forest? Would'nt it be just a normal stick? I look up. There was a small rotting house in the trees. I tilt my head and see a ladder. I climb up the ladder with ease and look at the house. You know how people somtimes comment on how it is bigger on the inside? Well this looked tiny, but inside it looked giant. It had a weird creepy feeling. Out of a sudden I hear a door shut. I look around. Everything was normal, no doors had shut. I then hear quick, hushed voices. I cannot make out what they say. But then one voice loudens. It sounded like my uncle. How was he here? His voice sounds angery. A different voice raises. The voices are arguing. I suddenly hear the sound of something hitting flesh. Did someone just punch someone else. I hear a voice yell a curse word then ask my uncle to leave. I look around. Where was he? I hear a door slam and feel a hand patting my head.

Everything stops. I was still in this creepy house. Wait a second. The last door that slammed sounded...Louder... I look behind me. The door was sealed shut. I run to the door and yank on the knob. It would not budge. Out of the corner of my eye I see a shadow about my height. And the sick sound of bones breaking, or being created. What I see next I wish I had never seen.

[I did. In the OOC thread that I had assumed everyone would check before posting. And maybe use for their OOC posts while they were at it.]

((You said there would be two posts.
You did not say you were inside the cabin.))

[I assumed that when I said two posts, you wouldn't interrupt between the two. I was inside the cabin at the end of post 2. Anyway, maneuvers are over and he is now where I intended him to be. I have set my tone and made my intro. I shall now get back in line and conform with normal RP convention.]

((Whatever. I blame ASDF.))

((Well, I am just gonna continue.))

The shadow rips itself away from the wall and stands before my very eyes. I have no were to run. My eyes widen in fear. The figure is twitching as its dark hand slowly turns into a human hand. A black sleeve comes from the hand then it slowly turns into a figure. I am stareing at myself. "It's" eyes are closed. It tilts it's head with the red hair moving with it's motions. It opens it's eyes. Hello me. It says with a grin. It takes a quick step forward so I can smell it's breath. But the breath had no smell. It would not have any smell fore it was me! All that is different is it's eyes. They were black with bits of white swirling around in them. I know that you would like to run. You would love to hide, and never see me again, or should I say yourself. Do you not remember your nightmare from oh so long ago? Is'nt this recognizable? It stops grinning.Leave me alone! Please! Go! Just go away... I yell in a terrified wisper.The only problem is that I will not go. I will not rest. Nor will you. Don't you miss your parents? The body stays the same but the head changes into a horrifying cross between my mothers face and my fathers. There are bits of glass in the face and it is smeared with blood. I close my eyes very tight. I wanted them back! I wanted to leave this awful dreamland and go running into their arms. The face changes back. They thought of you. Of how you did not want to go. You wanted to stay behind and play. Your selfishness killed them, and I will haunt you till you die a slow and painful death. You will never be free Anne Graybell. So, how would you like this to happen? A running and chasing scene, or I wound you and watch you crawl around? No, I think I will let you go. I am getting very strong already. It chuckles as it grabs my hand. You will be meeting a couple people. Be careful. Blood seeps from the wrinkles in my hand painlessly then get sucked back in. Same as the nightmare I had all those years ago. The deed was done, there was no escape. It grabs my shoulders and spins me so I am not facing it. I turn back around only to see it has gone. It's words linger in my mind as I look around the creepy tree house. It now looked like a normal tree house. It was normal size too. I sit down on a dusty bed. It felt like somthing important had just happened. Why did I feel creeped out like I saw something? Oh well. A creepy house is better than no house.

((Don't worry, I can fix this.))

Alex snapped back to reality, if you call it that. What was he doing again? He was following the group to a safe place from the Baloth. Then, what about the cabin and the man? Did he imagine it? He decided to ask Clamet, "Hey, did we go to a cabin?" He doubt that she would say yes. Maybe it was all an illusion after all.

((We will arrive at the actual cabin shortly.))

Alex noticed that she seemed a little...dreamy. She wasn't quite focused. He said to her, "You seem dreamy. What are you thinking about?" He glanced back, from time to time, to make sure that the Baloth wasn't behind them.

((I am writing this for me so that when I come and interact with you guys soon, I will seem horrible and terrifying. Also the part with the rodent exploding is achualy able to happen, it happen to my uncle.))

I could not sleep. I kept feeling like there was something important that I needed to remember. I let out a sigh. I get up and walk to the old ladder and climb down. I had heard a trick before to get water. I shiver in the cold wind again. I look for something sharp. A then walk around the tree house looking for something then I smell a awful stench. I plug my nose. I look for the smell and find a old, dead, decaying rodent. I causiously walk to it and rip it's biggest tooth out. It pops covering me in rodent guts. I gag. It was disgusting.I wipe the old blood off my face quickly. I wipe my hands on the frosted ground and take off my shoes. I throw them into the woods with disgust. I try and rub the rest against the ground but only dirt and bits of grass join the messy mistake. Now I smelled like something had crawled into my stomache and died. I ignore the fact. I was very thirsty. I go to a thin tree and stab it with the large rodent tooth. It takes a while of stabbing but I fianally start feeling drips of water. I press my lips against the tree and suck the little water that the tree has. I start to feel better, beside the fact that I looked like a killer. I look at the rodent tooth. I grab a long stick and pull a bit of string from my coat. I tie the tooth to the stick and use some of the rodent's blood like glue for it. I now had a really crappy spear.

I go back inside the warm tree house. I was feeling sick from the guts exploding onto me. I lay on the bed and rest. After a little while I hear something. Trees falling, and crackling. I go outside one step and see that the woods are on fire.I let out a small yelp as I stumble out and trip over the ladder. I fall on the ground and run. The fire was spreading fast. Fianally warmth, but I would rather live then be warm.I slam into a couple trees as I run. The fire was right behind me. I run faster. My legs were hurting. My head was pounding. I felt dizzy. I get far away from the fire and see a light. It looked like there was a wooden structure. It looked just like the summer camp cabin that I had been to last summer. I smile a little bit wearily. I had not made it to the clearing. I trip and do a roll before stopping. I rub my head. What was I thinking!? There could be anything in there. I see someone standing next to the cabin. I duck into a bush. I was getting less dizzy now. Who were they? I did not want to find out. They would not see me here. I look around causiously.

After walking for a while, Alex was becoming more and more tired. But, he could see a was yellowish light up ahead. This made him go faster, hoping that it was shelter. He arrived at the light. It was the cabin from his...vision? There was the same door and lantern, except there was no man lying at the grass. He decided to check the back of the cabin. He walked around the back and saw another man peering in. Alex panicked, grabbed a nearby stick and pointed it at him. Probably not the best idea.

I see more people show up. I slow my breath worried that they could hear me. I barely understood what was going on. I always liked having friends, but right now I wanted to be alone. What if I changed my mind? Would I want to join them at some point? Did they know what was going on? I calm down, I would follow them. I was good at hiding. They would not see me. I look at myself. I was covered in rodent guts and blood. I realize they would smell me. I back up but only enough that I could see them. They looked like they had not smelled the foul stench yet. Hopefully it would stay this way.

The man ran away and Alex relaxed. He was curious and decided to peek into the cabin as well. He was surprised as he could see the man in his vision, sitting there and reading as it seems. What does this mean? Alex couldn't make head nor tail out of this.

I see one of them turn around. He then sprints off into the woods. Towards me! I stumble up and run behind a tree. I said in my own head, Do not see me. Please do not see me! Now I was in trouble. He would likely smell the rodent, but on the other hand, I would look like something from a horror movie and he might run. I stay hidden.

Abberdean peered through the window next to Alex. There was a man. He appeared to be.. Reading. When they were being chased by some monster. Abbedean stared at the man for a second.

"Lovely," she muttered. Then she knocked on the glass of the window and called, "HEY THERE! DO YOU HAVE FOOD?"
