Snow falls at Rosewood University in dry flakes, melting and disappearing into the dirt. The plants and bushes transformed from their rich lush green into a tangled brown bracken, and the trees resemble giant skeletal hands clawing from the ground. A heavy fog permeates campus and makes it difficult to see much further than a few feet ahead.

Head straight back into the building and call faculty services.

Yea, go back in and use the various communications infrastructure based devices you have access to, to signal for aid. If one doesn't work, methodically work your way through others. You have TOTALLY seen this movie before.

A little snow and fog never hurt anyone. Who knows the campus well enough to find the clinic like this though?

Tell marshall you're glad you are not the only one seeing this.

Call out into the void to see if anyone is out there.

"Oof..." Sherb says. "This isn't right at all. That's some really thick fog too..."

"Maybe there's a short-cut through the building we can take, or some faculty member can help us." Marshal suggests. When Marshal turns around to go back inside however, the doors are stuck. "It's locked!"

"But we just got out!" Sherb cries. He and Cookie instinctively push the doors, but they won't budge.

"I'll call Kiki!" Cookie says. "She can help us!" Good thing the two of them were already BFFs before this happened, because Cookie forgot to ask the phone numbers of everyone else in the literature club. She puts the phone on Speaker so she and the boys can hear.

"Hello?" Kiki asks.

>>1006511
Ask her if she's seeing this crazy fog. You're kinda worried about getting lost if you try to walk around in it, can she help you out? Maybe she can look up some campus numbers for you to call? Like... campus police? Campus police are supposed to escort you if you feel threatened.

Check the GPS on your phone

Well, if you can't get help or use the GPS, everyone's gonna have to stick together to make sure nobody gets separated. Then follow the paths. Your university has paths between buildings, right?

Does your university have those lit, hard-wired poles where you can press a button to call for aid from Campus Police for any reason? Go on the largest, most well-marked paths to the nearest of those.

"Wait, did Kiki say she just got home?" Sherb asks. "But she can't have left the building that quickly already! This is starting to creep me out..."

Cookie tries the GPS and thankfully it seems to be in working order. Nothing looks out of the ordinary.

"I don't think we should go to the clinic anymore." Marshal says. "It's obvious there's something wrong going on here, and maybe we should just get back to our dorms."

"It doesn't explain the weird noises you and Cookie heard though." Sherb replies. "I don't feel comfortable going to my dorm alone... I think we should at least get to the bottom of this."

Cookie thinks about it. Getting separated would be a bad idea with all this fog around; maybe they can use the GPS to get back to one of their dorms and have the other two stay as guests. But maybe they should still see the clinic after all... or there could be some other place they could go to instead.

Well shit I guess you're stuck in Silent Hill huh?
No reason to go to the Clinic right now. Head to either the Dorms or the Campus Police.

I get the feeling we should go to the clinic anyway. That was our planned destination in the first place.

Whatever you plan to do, be sure to take everything that isn't nailed down. You can return it after you're sure you're not in a horror movie.

Go to your dorms. They are familiar, which means you already know the entrances, exits, and where all the good stuff is.

"We can go to my place!" Cookie suggests. "It's a little small, but it should be enough to hold the three of us! That way, no one has to be alone."

The boys agree this would be a good idea and walk beside Cookie as she holds her phone out. Before she sets out however, she takes a good look at her INVENTORY:

Cookie has a SPARKLY BLUE NOTEBOOK, a MATCHING GEL-POINT PEN, her LAPTOP, her CELLPHONE, and ONE CHOCOLATE BAR.

She takes note of her surroundings as they clear into view in the fog. There's an old giant tree bare of leaves and large sprawling roots swimming out of the ground. Closeby is a Frita's, a fast-food joint usually bustling with hungry students. The window is opaque and shows only darkness.

Cookie puts her phone on flashlight mode and shines it on the Frita's window. No dice. The inside is as dark as ever.

The flashlight does reveal a Happy Meal on the window sill though. It's a plastic otter holding a scallop shell on top of a blue wave, and it runs on wheels.

Despite no wind and being perfectly balanced on the sill, the toy falls down. A thin wisp of smoke rises from the shell, smelling like plastic.

Cookie picks up a stick and cautiously pokes the toy with it. No more smoke comes out, so Cookie picks it up and adds it to her inventory. You never know what might come in handy.

With the help of her phone, Cookie is finally able to lead Sherb and Marshal to her dormitory. The doors are unlocked, but relief gives way to confusion. Where is everybody? What happened to the lights? Why is it so cold?

To the left of Cookie is a set of steel lockers and a hallway that leads to an old-fashioned elevator with a door like an iron gate. A crystal chandelier hangs above in the middle of the room, and in front of Cookie is a table and a painting. To the right is a hallway leading toward the stairs.

Examine the painting, but don't stand under the chandelier.

Cookie walks around the chandelier to get to the painting on the other side of the room. It depicts two polar bears tearing apart what remains of a shipwreck stranded in a glacier. The sails are soaked, moldy, and bloody, and one of the polar bears is chewing on the remains of an old ribcage. A sort of musket lies forgotten in the snow.

There's a slab beneath the painting that reads, "Man Proposes, God Disposes - Edwin Landseer, 1864"

"Is it me, or is there something sticking out of that painting?" Marshal wonders. "It's creeping me out."

Cookie holds her cellphone up to the painting to make sure. There's a small glint in between the second polar bear's teeth... it turns out it's a LARGE KEY. Cookie takes it.

"Um... Cookie, what floor is your room at?" Sherb asks.

"Third floor! We can easily take the elevator to..." Cookie's voice trails off. The elevator probably wouldn't be working. Would it?

We can always check.

Before Cookie had time to react, the shadow in the elevator lunges for her and tries to drag her in. She grabs part of the gate in time before being pulled in, and her free arm reaches through a newly transparent space. She screams to the shocked boys for help.

Cookie squeezes her eyes shut and screams once more. She lands somewhere with an odd crumpling sound. What she sees defies explanation: everything around her except herself looks like a children's crayon drawing, from the bright sky around her to the grass scribbled at her feet. There are darker green splotches that look like bushes, with red things attaching to them that must be... flowers? Berries? What is this place? What on earth is happening?

Afterlife? Heaven? Reincarnated in a drawing?

Well, stop and smell the flowers then Go pluck one and put it in your inventory.

Cookies hopes she's not dead! There's still so much she wants to do! Besides, she's got to look for her friends. Which... would require finding a way out of here first. She stands up and dusts off her dress.

She picks one of the red "flowers" off a "bush." Ouch! It's like getting a bunch of paper cuts on her hand. The petals fall apart like tissue paper and blow away from her hand.

There's a dark blue blotch ahead that resembles a lake. The gray stuff around it seems to be stone flooring for a garden, and the odd shapes around it and the lake look like statues.

Go swimming in lake

Be careful. Things here are not as they appear.
Get a closer look at one of the statues.

Cookie approaches the lake and the gray crayon blotches become clearer. She enters a stone garden full of statues: the biggest one is an angel statue with humongous wings missing a head. Another statue is a sad woman cradling the body of a headless man. In the middle of the garden is a sundial.

i guess that if we only find one head, then we gotta make a decision on who we gonna give the head too, the real question being how will this affect the future.

The shuffling and rumbling summons a strange hiss surrounding the garden. As though materializing out of thin air, little crayon creatures swivel toward Cookie carrying what looks like a long... stick? Spear? Spike? Their bodies are crafted out of steel wool with mitochondrial strings forming a heart. Their heads are made of soot, and swirling within their gaseous cranium is some sort of dark wiggly red fluid. Their hissing crackles like television static.

They want her dead.

We still gotta find the angel head. Unless the solution is to rest our chin where the head of the angel should be to make them think Cookie died and became an angel, I suggest running away. Maybe run in the direction where the sundial is pointing.

Once we get away, we should investigate this stone area later for anything that changed since we heard the sound of stone rumbling.

There's a gory mess beneath the chandelier; something that had once been a person. As a mouse (judging by their tattered ears and tail), their body is naturally small, so they couldn't have withstood the impact of a falling chandelier. Shards are embedded in their back, penetrating as deep as their spine. Their eyes are glazed with shock, their mouth frozen open in their final gasp as bloody saliva trickles from the corner of their mouth. Their arms are sliced up from the glass, ribbons of blood soaking into their fur. Maybe it was a student Cookie had seen once or twice on campus... but now she would never know, because however they arrived into this version of their school, they met with a horrible fate.

There's... nothing left to save.
So, make sure he's dead in this screwed-up zombie flick.

Take a picture of his dead corpse as proof, then search the body for an ID. His next-of-kin need to know.

Then rip the body apart so whoever tries to make an attack zombie out of this corpse will be sorely disappointed.

Maybe don't mess with the dead body too much, you've got to maintain your sanity. Also your friends would be kindof worried if you show up with blood all over yourself.
Don't you still have your cellphone? Try calling someone.

Since there's something out there which can animate corpses, it likely has the means to deal with... reasonably large amounts of damage to the bodies. And things like the butchering industry and history let us know that you need EXTREMELY specialized tools to easily and quickly dismember or decapitate or whatever large bodies.

Cookie tears her eyes away from the body. It's her first time seeing a corpse outside the news and various media, and even if she wasn't nauseated and terrified to the pit of her stomach, there isn't anything useful she could've done. The mouse carried no weapon for her to take, and most of their body is buried under the chandelier, which would be too heavy to lift off of them. Even if she could access their pockets, their ID wouldn't matter much anyway.

She shakily takes her phone out and tries calling Kiki again. All she gets is her voice message. After the beep, Cookie explains what has happened to her so far: she and Sherb and Marshal are at her dormitory and they are separated. Someone is after her and they took her to this bizarre crayon area full of monsters where she barely escaped. She found a body and she doesn't know if her dorm room is even safe, but please please please please please call or text her back as soon as she can.

A thought occurs to Cookie and she asks for Sherb and Marshal's numbers. If she could contact them, she might be able to find them! She asks for Muffy's too in case she's also trapped in this awful version of their school. She ends the call and cautiously looks around for anything that might have heard her.

Cookie uses the LARGE KEY on the second door to the left. This gives her access to the janitor's closet.

The room has a musty smell like a forgotten dungeon. The sink hasn't been used in ages, crawling with rust and weird tubes that don't seem like they go anywhere. The pipe it's connected to is aged enough that it could easily snap off. There's all sorts of detergents and sprays and bleach, along with the usual mops and brooms and swiffers. Yellowed stocks of toilet paper line the shelves, including more chemicals and bottles. A solitary toy wand lays forgotten on one of the shelves, striped like a candy cane with a star at the end.

If only it were that easy. Cookie puts away the wand for now and yanks off a piece of the pipe. She takes a few practice swings with it--it'll do as a weapon for now.

Cookie takes the stairs to the floor leading to her dorm room. The hallway isn't as fancy as the one from the lobby, but that's student dorms for you. Someone has made it to Cookie's room before her... the door is slightly ajar.

Cookie readies her pipe and nudges the door with it. There's a squeaky gasp not her own and she asks who's there.

"Cookie? Is that you?" Sherb is inside the room sitting on Cookie's bed. The walls and posters are smeared with soot, and the papers on her desk had rotted to dusty flakes. The window is too dark to see anything out of. The quilt and bedsheets are gray and dirty, and the carpet is dry and dusty with age. Sherb clutches his side where blood pools into his sweater.

Ask what happened after you got separated. Tell him got pulled into some kind of... weird crayon place and barely escaped back into this world.

That's a lot of presumably Sherb's blood staining his sweater, you should rip up some cleaner clothing into makeshift bandages to staunch the wound. It's better than nothing.

"Sherb, you're bleeding! What happened to you?" Cookie cried. She tells him about the strange crayon world inside the elevator and how she escaped.

"Marshal thought that awful monster took you downstairs, so we went there looking for you. A few of those crayon guys you mentioned were in the cafeteria, and we had to figure out how to get past them. Then when we got to the kitchen, the walls all around us starting morphing, then a bunch of sharp black spears were flying everywhere and--and one of them got me..."

"What about Marshie?"

"He--He pushed me out the door so I could get away. He's still d-down there... he could be dead and it's all my fault!"

Pity party. Tell him no, it's not his fault, it's your fault for getting caught in the first place and having to have them go down to save you.

>>1041465
we should still do this.

Putting pressure on the wound is the important part. The priority now is rescuing Marshie, and finding better materials for bandages.
Let's go downstairs, and find the location he's talking about.

"Don't say that!" Cookie exclaims. "If that monster hadn't grabbed me from the elevator, we--!"

Cookie rummages through her drawers, looking for a decent makeshift bandage for Sherb. Her "clothes" were reduced to rags, but anything that wasn't coated in too much soot and rust would do. She finds an old sweater that soaks up most of the blood and ties it around Sherb's wound.

"We can't give up! We got to go back to the cafeteria and save Marshal. I don't know how we can fight all those crayon creatures, but there's got to be a way past them! Is there anything you and Marshie haven't tried?"

Does Sherb have a weapon? we should find one for him before going down.

"Uhh... when Marshal and I were down there, there were a couple guards. He threw some junk to distract them and we ran past. I dunno if it'll work again, there might be more of them now."

"What about weapons? Do you have anything?" Cookie asks.

"I got a mop! It sorta works. I have this bleach spray too, and they really seem to hate the stuff."

"I got a pipe! If anything goes wrong, we can fight!"

Cookie and Sherb head down to the cafeteria. The tile floor is smeared with years of grime, and the tables buzz with small clouds of flies. The scattered trays stacked with brittle chicken bones nearly decayed to dust. The bowls and cups contain a dark brackish substance best left as a mystery. As Sherb predicted, there are more monsters surrounding the entrance to the kitchen.

Use the environment to your advantage, funnel the monsters between the tables so they have to fight you one at a time. If they're not quite that stupid, take the high ground on the tables instead.

You could also use chairs as improvised weapons, they're good to throw, mostly.

After whispering a plan to each other, Sherb crawls under one of the tables. Cookie walks up to the middle of the cafeteria, brandishing her pipe so it attracts the attention of the guards. They approach her one by one--she whacks the first one over the head. Under the shelter of the table, Sherb sprays the monster's legs with bleach--the monster convulses with a crackling hiss as though it had been splattered with acid. It collapses and twitches on the floor like a bug as the other guards lunge at Cookie. The chairs provide makeshift shields from their arrows, and help in a pinch by stunning the monsters when clocked over with them. Cookie and Sherb fend off the guards until they are finally defeated.

No sooner when they clamber inside that their whole surroundings morphs into the crayon world Cookie had been dragged into before. The staticky snarls of the monsters rise to a dizzying cacophony, but they are nowhere to be seen and neither Cookie or Sherb could make heads or tails of where the noise was coming from. All they knew was it was everywhere and they couldn't afford to stay still.

Cookie squeezes tight on Sherb's hand as they make a beeline toward the lake. The lake parts itself like a cell undergoing mitosis, its childish crayon waves like a dark blobby fog rather than a grand body of water. There's a stairway leading into the depths... Cookie and Sherb dive in.

The hallway underwater is suffocating, although there was plenty of air. The lake plunges far down as any ocean, chilly and isolating as the space stretches on far infinity--a walk in the wrong direction would ensure you were lost in the gloom forever. The water gurgles with fish and deep-sea creatures obscure in the shadows, the latter whose florescent eyes follow the two strangers fumbling their way through.

Marshal can't move. He's anchored to the trunk of the monster.

Cookie begs Marshal to hang on. She doesn't have anything to throw at the monster, but she whacks it with the pipe in an attempt to free Marshal. The behemoth is covered head to toe with barnacles, and zebra mussels grow around Marshal's eyes, nose, and lips. The pipe chips off several shells to reveal more barnacles beneath. Barnacles upon barnacles upon barnacles.

The font says christian. Is Marshall Christian? Do we have to pray to Christ? Do we have to pray to Richard Dawkins? What does it mean?

Uh..do we have something to cut Marshal's arm loose?

>>1058576
Symbolism. Barnacles are parasites, hangers-on, burdening/slowing ships down. Tell him he's not a parasite. You enjoy his company, and he can stay with you as long as he wants.

Despite Cookie's best efforts, Marshal remains glued to the monster.

Cookie frantically tells Marshal not to give up. He's not a burden or a parasite or anything like that! Though she doesn't know him well, she had a great time with him at the literature club and wants to be his friend. He's kind and thoughtful and he worked hard to find her and put Sherb's safety before his own. So please, hang on just a little longer!

One of the tentacles flashes and positions itself above Cookie.

Cookie's eyes water as she forces herself back on her feet. She clutches her wound.

"OW OW OW! It hurts!" Sherb suddenly shouted, collapsing on his knees. "It hurts it hurts MAKE IT STOP!"

A persistent wiggling sensation jabs Cookie, like someone rolling pushpins into her penetrated skin.

Grab Sherb, and together, limp away as fast as you can from the threat! As you go, yell something like, "Marshal! You will never be forgotten! We will avenge you!"

Loose zebra mussels lay in Cookie's hand. It turns out barnacles grow from open wounds - Cookie winces as she yanks them off, as the barnacles attach themselves to veins and arteries - trying to remove them just makes the bleeding worse.

"I'm afraid I don't have much time to explain!" Kiki says. "Cookie, did any of you find a wand?"

Cookie still has the TRANSFORMATION WAND in her inventory.

"Whew, this makes things much easier," Kiki answers. "Cookie, you need to use that wand and become a magical girl!"

"But how? When I tried it, it didn't work!"

"It will now. Just raise it in the air and you'll transform. I'll look after Sherb. You go fight the monster and save Marshal!"

Beneath the prism, Cookie's clothes change. Bows as dark as the midnight sky adorn the top of her ears, and she wears a wizard's robe that glitters with stars from the deepest reaches of space.

Cookie now possesses the power of fire, sourced from none other than the Big Bang, the birth of the universe. It is up to her to use these flames to cleanse and heal. With that in mind, how does she approach the monster? How will she save Marshal?

>>1076945
Well, first, experiment with your power. You have some mussels embedded in you, can you purge them with fire? Can you extinguish the flames at will?
Once you have a handle on it, engulf the main body of the monster. If the flames are harmless to friendly targets you may as well cover Marshall in them, but if the purging process is painful you might have to take it slow with him once you've gotten him separated from the monster.

So, you don't necessarily have fire as you understand it. You kay have some sort of incredibly hot and dense and fast moving and pressurized plasma, the makeup of which will depend on how long after the Big Bang you are making your draw. Or, since Magical Girl, you probably have something that is more conceptually associated with dense, hot, fast moving, uniform plasma. So, you know, if you throw a fire lance at someone (and it'd be a beam, cause pressure and speed and such), it isn't necessary a WMD with you at the epicenter. Though you probably COULD do that. Regardless, it's an amazing weapon that shoots hot not-even-a-gas-yet at things.

Anyway! Conceptual! This plasma is astoundingly pure in nature, since nothing that has had a chance to change or dilute it has yet had a chance to exist. So you could take the concept of purity to cleanse corruption or impurity that way. Further, this is also, conceptually, the initial act of creation, the Roar Of God, as it were. So you can link that concept to thec reation of things like a new, healthy body and soul and spirit where tainted parts had to be purified out.

Give birth to Marshall, just like the Big Bang gave birth to everything! He'll uh, he'll be fine.

So, something to keep in mind about the time right after the Big Bang is that the heat of it is way, way, wayyyyyy hotter than fire. So you know the main states of matter, in increasing level of heat? Solid, Liquid, Gas? And how there's one beyond that, Plasma. So Fire is generally hot gas, maybe with some plasma at the hottest parts, for the hottest fires. But there's a state BEYOND plasma, a FIFTH state of matter. It's called 'Quark-Gluon Plasma', and it's where not only are there no molecules (too hot!), not only do atoms get stripped of their electrons (too hot!), not only do the nuclei of atoms get split apart (too hot!), but the actual neutrons and protons (and their antimatter equivalents, antineutrons and antiprotons)... just melt. Leaving raw quarks and gluons and things of that scale. THIS is what is present in the first 0.000001 second of the Big Bang!
