WEEK 2

WEEK 2

[It is again early morning when the train docks next. This time, however, the dock is not as busy. There are few trains to be seen, and even fewer people. Only a man stands at the dock, teeth sharp in his smile, scelera a deep gold as he stares beneath his fedora.

"Unexpected," he said with a smile. A two-dimensional dog with the head of a scribbled black cloud hops by, ignoring him. "But not unwanted. Do make yourselves comfortable."

This new place is known as Victoria's Chasm, named after an Empress. No, not that one. Her Thrice-Renewed Majesty is quite comfortable on her Throne, and rulled for much longer than 99 days, thank you very much.

In the distance, black begins to erupt like tendrils. Lightning flashes through the clouds. This is the land of monsters; tread carefully. And do not despair, whatever you do.

There are fifteen strangers left in this place.]

Huh...wait, doesn't that mean if you put an eye on someone you can hear as well as see through it? [Eliza blinks a little.] Do you think you might be able to do that again?

... Yep! Not sure how that works.

[He scrunches his face.] I wanna say yes, but I also don't like my sides being used like cutting boards... Besides, I think she still has it on her?

Ah, that moment was how you got close enough? [Eliza flinches a little.] Alright, definitely don't do that again. I guess as long as it's still there you might be able to find out more...unless it gets tired. Do extra eyeballs get tired? Or have to blink?
