[As soon as you enter the game, you find yourself in a vast, seemingly endless forest. The wind blows cold and harsh, whistling through the trees, and you can barely see what’s in front of you. The only light in the area comes from the moon shining down upon you, mostly blocked by the thick branches twisting together overhead. In the distance, it's almost as if you can see and here flashes of movement, moments of sound (a wolf howling, the sound of crying, or even that of screams). Try as you might, you can't tell where any of these sounds come from... Perhaps it would be best to explore and find out. Stranger yet, you feel as if you must explore...
From here, you can go either left or right. The two paths are indistinguishable from each other.]

[uM.
Well, this is just really promising. He mmmmay be clinging to someone's sleeve nowso he can use them as a windshield.]

[ damn, this kid again.

Wolfwood lets him cling, mouth set in a thin line. ]
Oi.

Y-yeah?

[praise the heavens, it's arachneechan. Chimera is in harmless little kid mode since there's a cat in the room, of course.]
I dunno!
[but it sure is windy and cold in here!]

It's only wind, don't get all worked up just yet.

Not one thing, can you?

[ wind, the casual screams of the damned. what's the difference?
makes the hair at her nape stand on end. ]
Whatever it is, there's no helping it, but you can choose whether or not to keep your guard up.

[ooh, now that you mention it... man, it feels weird not being able to see properly in the dark.]
Um... I guess it doesn't matter? [not like they have any way of telling what's down either.] We're not gonna split up, right?

Let's go right.

[heading right, you find that the path narrows, as though the trees are slowly beginning to close in on you. It makes it difficult to walk as a group, and soon you have to go one by one, or else a branch may smack you in the face.
As you proceed, however, you begin to feel a prickle on the back of your neck, as though something's watching your group as they walk along. The temperature begins to drop, the further you get, until you can see your breath misting out in front of you - but just barely.
And then you see it, up ahead and just to the side of the path - a light, moving slowly through the trees, almost hovering there. It seems to tempt you to follow it, to leave the path and go with it between the low-hanging branches.
You can either follow the tempting light, or remain on the path]
[single... file...
who's up for a handholding chain? chimera is absolutely up for a handholding chain. especially if he gets to be in the middle.
But, yeah, anyway, that sure is a suspicious light thing. He eyes it warily.]

[ taking up the rear, naturally, and opting out of the hand-holding, thanks. she does, however, catch the closest Vanara by the back of their collar the second that light gleams out at them. ]
Don't.
Don't.
Yeah, um, let's... not.
[Tears his eyes away from the light.
Is there anything else they can do, though? It doesn't look like they have any options beside the obvious... unless they want to go charging off away from both the path and the light or climb a tree or something.]

No matter which way we go, we're headed for trouble, is that how it is...
[ jerking her head, birdlike, to peer into the dark back the way they came. nothing, nobody, but she swears... ]

[Looks back down the path when she does, uneasy.]
Maybe we should just... I dunno, keep moving?
[there has to be some sort of goal. this is a game, after all.]

[ can't hear a damn thing in this wind, not even if something were crashing through the branches towards them. after a long moment of staring into the blackness, she turns forward again, and stares at the light instead.
they're gonna have to walk past whatever the hell that is if they plan on pushing forward, but leaving the path's outta the question. no maneuverability, too dark. ]
Keep close. If that light does any weird shit, stay on the path and don't stop moving.

[you decide to follow the path, and thankfully, the path widens as you come to a roped off road. Nothing seems to be stopping you from proceeding, and squinting through the darkness ahead, you see the faint outlines of a chain link fence.
Of course, that light from earlier is there, too, further off the path from before. And like before, you’re welcome to follow it]
