(ooc notes: I will state any possible content warnings in the subject line of the mod response when it comes up. If anything makes you uncomfortable, please tell me so I can back off and refocus the thread.

There will be no tag order, and a mod response will come after at least 4 player responses OR the next day, whichever is earlier. Please note this means that if you're absent for a day or more, the thread will move on, but I will pace things so that people aren't missing large plot beats.)

[ Smacking people's asses may or may not be productive, but every time one of them extinguishes a light, they can see and feel their surroundings change. The ground becomes uneven, full of gnarls, something slick and wet curls around their ankles from the darkness but pulls away as they walk by. The air becomes chilly, with a sticky dampness that clings to the skin and squeezes on the lungs. The movement in their periphery slows and speeds up simultaneously, golden eyes a streak until they blink away into the dark. The ringing in their ears becomes louder and louder and louder and louder until it's almost painful, until it's all they can hear and nobody's voice can reach them, not even their own.

Only a few lights remain. Two. One.

Zero.

Silence. Darkness. Emptiness. As if starting all over, they find themselves standing in a void of nothing and nowhere, but this time, even the floor is taken from them and they plummet all at once, falling, falling, gaining speed with nothing to slow themselves with, nothing to do but brace for the impact if it would ever come— and come it does, after three solid minutes of falling, in an explosion of shredded nerves and splintered bone and blinding light. ]
