Canis's heart
The moment you step through the mirror door, you seem to - slip, as if the floor were made of wax, but when you fall there is no floor to catch you; only darkness.
You fall for some time. Eventually, it feels as if you're not falling at all - but rather, floating . . . and some time after that, it almost feels as if you have no body at all. The light from which the entrance of Canis's heart is disappears quickly, and you're left with nothing - not even your own screams, if you have any; nothing seems to leave your throat, and there's no sound at all, besides. Even the rushing of wind is gone, and your own pulse seems to fade away. . .
. . . what penetrates your consciousness next is the soft sound of music. Someway or another, you find yourself on a white platform; you're dressed in plain clothes of your team color, all items gone from your person. In front of you, four stones float; all perfectly square and identical to each other. Each have images - a sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, and a sparkling circle . . . you understand what you must do.

PORT BAGHENNEN
It's definitely a town though, you can tell - there's the ever present bustling of people, a number of various people wandering around and going about on their daily lives. The main road - the road you're closest to, is paved yellow, and you can see several vendors advertising their goods to the people.

On the bright side, reviving was painless and you're only sore from whatever wounds you obtained earlier! Not only that, but you actually still have all your items and EXP which is a blessing, let me tell you.

Once you enter the clearing, there are a number of things here. . . small jellyblobs of all team colors. All of them have little "LVL 1"s floating above their heads. There are also a few clear-colored jellyblobs, with LVL 4 floating above their heads.

[well that's disconcerting. he feels vaguely unsettled and kinda wishes he wasn't here alone, but he is, so he bites his lip and tries to ignore it.
the jellyblobs look sort of cute, though? he thinks about touching the one that matches Barghest's colours but...maybe he'll just examine one of those clear ones instead. just a close look. he's curious :|]

You wake up flat on your back, staring up at the ceiling of a tannish gazebo. It feels warm, but not hot, and out of the corner of your eye you can see the clouds softly rolling by. . . everything seems to be so peaceful, it's vastly different from the chaos that you'd been in before.
You have entered AR█A THR██: █MOT█O██.

It's nice. Moreover, it's home, and you're overwhelmed with a sense of peace. Unfortunately you have no place to relax here, because everyone's already in the pillow pile - everyone. . . people you might not recognize are here too, but if you've been here since the very beginning, you'll remember these are the first Barghests. Echo, Eltanin, Corvus. . . as well as a smaller Lepus and Lupus. Aquila and Sirius are in the middle of the cuddle pile with Canis, and two great big seals wrap themselves at the base, creating a protective circle. All sleep peacefully . . . but - ?
Something is wrong. If you look closely, they begin to pixellate; the whole room seems to fzzt out of the picturesque scene, flickering between two: the peaceful team sleeping, and. . . . blood. Blood, blood, blood. Eltanin's missing a foot; Echo's head has been lost and red stains Aquila's lips. Everyone is mangled on some level, or distorted - broken legs, smaller body, and bloody all over, the selkies shifting into black tendrils that coil around the team, suffocating them, and the entire living room torn apart and broken.
. . . . but then it flashes back to the peaceful scene, perfect and unmarred. . . . well, mostly unmarred. The entire earth shakes every so often, with small tremors in the ground, though not enough to cause much alarm.

This time, in the pillow pile, there is Lepus, Lupus, as well as Draco and Cepheus. No selkies wrap themselves around the pile, but black wings seem to shield them all regardless. They're all transparent to various degrees, untouchable and unreachable. . . all is peaceful, though occasionally some images glitch into pixels before returning to normal.
