[open] all the cool kids like existential confusion

Who: Sans + anyone! Seriously, the first part of this is essentially a scenario meme. No CR or interest in Sans even required.
When: Accessible from the 10th-16th
Where: THE VOIIIID. Okay but no, seriously, it's a vast expanse of nothingness.
What: Curiosity kills the skeleton. Sans has gone to see what has become of his world, and it's not pretty. Come explore the void? Feel that existential sting? Log split into two parts -- exploring the void with a partner (either in search of Sans, curiosity, or whatever reason you like!) and trying to rescue Sans from the pull his world has on him! Unfortunately, Sans is a little... different. He won't be coming back without a fight.
Warnings: A few flashing images, serious existential despair, violence and nightmare magic, impalings?? idk, man, this is gonna be a bundle of fish.

(ooc: please forgive the formatting, which I have cribbed heavily from memes. I figure it is the best way to create a play space for people! Feel free to dip in and out regardless of your character's interest in Sans!)



enter the freakin' void, scrubs
it'll stare back at you or something, probably

Maybe you're just curious? Maybe you want to find a friend? Maybe you saw a certain network post and decided to see what the fuss was about? Or it could just be an accident. Whatever your reason for walking through this particular Ingress portal, you will find that the sensation of falling that accompanies your jump into a new world... doesn't appear to be stopping. A void of blackness streaks past you, intangible in all respects save the push of wind whipping your clothes as you fall.

Your fall will continue unabated until you, quite simply, decide to stop falling. Upon making this decision, the laws of physics will appear to jolt and shift, leaving you suddenly standing upright. Hopefully whoever you are travelling with makes the same decision as you, or else they might just tumble further down into the abyss.

Luckily, it appears physics don't have much say in this place. That's convenient.


PROMPTS:

Physics? Psh, What Physics?
The darkness seems to stretch out forever, physics bending to your whims. It might take time to learn to control, but soon your character will be able to jump, dodge, twirl, soar, and plummet to their hearts content. It might not even be so bad, as far as featureless wastelands go.

Just be careful not to stray too far from your partner in your excitement. Finding people in the void, well, it can be a little tricky.
Greetings, I am [NAME].
The only noise you hear as you traverse the blackness is a whistling of wind, eerie considering the stillness of the air around you. However, if you listen closer different voices come to the fore. They're faint -- and not meant for you -- but a child's voice can be heard asking to make a deal. The influence of your own world is making itself known, and the child's voice seems to know exactly what it is you want above all else. And what's more, they're willing to give it to you. They just need a little something in exchange.

Your soul. That's not so bad, is it? Whether you resist on your own or with the help of a partner, the voice will retreat back into silence. Every half hour or so, though, it will return, once again tempting you with what you desire.

If you accept, you and who you came with will be forcibly ejected from the void and back to Amissis-Re. You probably still have your Soul. Probably. Either way, whatever it is you wanted? Nah, son.
A Little Something From Home.
A void should be empty, but this one very suddenly isn't. Your own world's influence has infiltrated, presenting to you something you recognize. A house, a trinket, a car, a friend -- whatever it is, it's something or someone that matters to you for better or for worse, floating unattached along with you in the Void.

Only upon closer inspection, it's not what you remember at all. There's a hollowness there that defies immediate description. Buildings will be empty and lifeless, familiar items will appear lesser in an indistinguishable way, and living things will scatter into a cloud of dust upon contact. No matter what you do, you can't seem to get the dust to stop sticking to you.

Do you chase them? Do they chase you? That's up to you, but keep an eye on your partner. You wouldn't want to get separated, right?

(( As you can probably tell, exploring the Void and expecting to find anything is pretty tough. Sans is entering on the 10th, and will be found on the 16th. That's 5 days of Void jumping which your character can enter any time. If you'd like your character to spend all that time in the Void until Sans is found, that's fine! Or, if you'd like your character to get pulled out via Ingress tug and need to make the choice to return or not, that's equally chill. Have fun with it!

Feel free to mix and match these prompts however you like, or just use them for general guidelines. Have fun exploring the void, friends! ))
