[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.]

Everyone, stay together and stay quiet. Something is watching us, and it means to make us prey.
[ not that she's actually going to argue that, because this sure does feel like it could be the setup of a horror flick, but-- ]
How can you be sure? It couldn't just be... some kind of animal?

Animals make noise. They chitter and squeak and rustle about, all in a pattern. These sounds are uneven, unnatural--and I think that's deliberate.
Come on, we've got to keep moving. The more we stay in one place, the easier it is for them to track us.

Okay.
[ she does feel a sense of urgency to get out of here, and frankly--even her tail is kind of ruffled with fear. ]
Should we... go left?

Should we... go left?
I think it's deliberate, too. We can't stay here, though—whoever or whatever's doing it wants to get us, and staying here just means that they have a better chance of doing it.
And I don't know if we want that.

Yes, I think we ought to. And quickly.

We'd better choose a path then, and quickly.
Then... then, let's go.
[ hands into fists, she'll start off for the left path, trying not to walk too fast but also feeling like she really needs to move faster ]

[ sorry hawk sort of headed left already--maybe. grab her if you want her to stop? ]

[making sure everyone is sticking close to each other as we take the left path]
[After walking for a while, the trees become more sparse, until they disappear. All the while, it's as if you can feel somebody watching you...
You come to a corn field. The plants rise up high, past your head. Luckily, you can see an entrance not too far from where you stand. There isn’t a sound to be heard except the sounds of cicadas somewhere in the distance.
Do you enter? Strangely, you strongly feel as though you should.]
[ roc's seen some scary stuff, but somehow-- ]
I don't want to go in there.
[ maybe because she can't figure out why her gut is trying to tell her she should ]

You feel it too?
[ looking around ]
Do you see anyone?

I don't either, but we must keep moving.

There's not... a way around?

Right... It... would be pretty impossible to see anyone through all this.
