Introduction
Rules
-The abyss exists in a separate universe, plane, and dimension than the Multiverse, and you cannot use a portal to travel between them. Nice try though.
-I'm imposing a limit of 10 character, all of which require approval, so that the roleplay doesn't get too crowded. This does not include my character, which is the primary antagonist.
-This is a dangerous roleplay, and you can die. Remember this when you want to port your Multiverse character, because you may not want to potentially lose them.
-Everyone starts the game in the foyer, awakening from a deep sleep. No exceptions. If you join the roleplay late it will be assumed that you have been unconscious in the foyer the entire time.
-Read the area descriptions before you roleplay in them. They're important.
-Write in the third-person. Complete sentences people. With subjects. And by subjects I don't just mean he/she/it. You need to give some indication as to who or what you're referring to!
-NO TWILIGHT STYLE-VAMPIRES. EVER. I hate them so much. If you submit one, I will reject them and drop them into the story at some random point later on to be killed. By auto-hit. No arguments. Seriously, don't submit one.
Reviews
Ylanne wrote:The writers could work to make their posts cleaner, freer of common mechanical errors, and develop their characters and a sense of place more clearly. Otherwise, the primary source of tension is clear in the first few posts, but the sense of foreboding seems to dissipate quickly over the next few posts. Obviously, this is only the beginning of a story, and so the complete picture is not yet drawn, but these are the first impressions.

These poor, unfortunate souls were once a part of this great world, but have been abandoned. Why don't you consider viewing their profiles and making a decision on whether or not you can roleplay them accurately?

Places in The Mansion on the Edge of the Abyss
4 postsThe Abyss
You have entered a huge black nothing. It is safe to assume that you are probably falling right now, in which case you will fall forever until you die.
0 postsThe Floating Island
You are on a floating island just outside the wrought iron fence surrounding the mansion.
0 postsThe Front Yard
You are in a pristine yard. North of you is an imposing mansion.
0 postsThe Garden
You are in the garden behind the mansion, on the north side of the Floating Island. There are all sorts of vegetables here.
0 postsThe Shed
You enter the shed in the corner of the garden. It is dark and decrepit.
1 postsThe Mansion
A large mansion with two floors, an attic, and a basement.
0 postsMansion: Floor One
The first floor of the mansion. This floor contains a kitchen, a dining hall, a foyer, a den, a study, and a bathroom.
0 postsKitchen
A large, clean kitchen containing many appliances and instruments used in cooking and food preparation.
0 postsDining Hall
You stand within the stately dining hall of the mansion. It contains all sorts of finery and decadent cloth.
24 postsFoyer
You stand in a sunlit foyer. Which is strange, because there is no sun here. The room is bare except for a circle of chairs in the center. There is a staircase here that leads to the next floor and a door that leads to the basement. Finally, there is an old-looking elevator here that leads to the attic.
0 postsDen
A posh den full of various hunting trophies, comfortable sitting chairs, and a marble fireplace.
0 postsStudy
The study you stand in isn't much to look at. It's a small room with only one window that leads to some of the little land that rests outside the fence (and thus the grounds) of the mansion. It contains a desk and a piano.
0 postsBathroom
You are in a clean and pleasing bathroom on the first floor of the mansion. It contains the usual amenities: bathtub with shower-head, toilet, and sink.
0 postsMansion: Floor Two
The second floor of the mansion. This floor contains a master bedroom, a guest bedroom, a grand bathroom, a library, and a rec room.
0 postsMaster Bedroom
You stand in a stately and beautiful bedroom. The bed here looks most inviting, decked out in red velvet, and a picture window overlooks the garden.
0 postsGuest Bedroom
You stand in a long, spacious guest bedroom. There ten beds here, each rather plain in appearance and feel. The room is dull and boring in terms of color, and there are no windows.
0 postsGrand Bathroom
The bathroom on the second floor of the mansion is truly a sight to behold. The floor, walls, and appliances appear to be made from solid, reinforced gold. It would be very pleasant to use, but for some reason the bathtub, sink, and toilet to not run water, but rather black inky fluid.
0 postsLibrary
You are in a spacious library. The many rows of bookshelves contain all sorts of books, but mostly books on science, engineering, and cryptozoology.
0 postsRec Room
You stand in the rec room of the mansion, a medium sized room containing all sorts of pleasing diversions including a bar, games of chance, darts, an old-fashioned television, a record player, and numerous comfy chairs.
0 postsMansion: Basement
You stand in a dank filthy basement. The entire room is flooded, and the lights are out. The substance that has flooded it resembles black ink in consistency and appearance.
0 postsMansion: Attic
You stand in the attic of the mansion. The wooden floorboards creak constantly and seem unstable. The room is full of cardboard boxes. There is a mannequin in the corner that appears to be coated in a black ink-like fluid.

Covered in darkness. But beautifully made. Where was she? Never before she had seen something like this. Swallowing for a second she croaked out, "Hello?...Hello..."
OOC Notes
Scott slowly sat up, wincing. He felt soar all over, like he got run over by a bus. Where the hell was he? What happened? Scott did not go to bed like this, that's for sure. He tried to stand, but his legs wouldn't let him for now. "What's going on..." said Scott in a haze of confusion.
OOC Notes
"Aaaaaahhhh...." That hurt his neck, very much. He could feel it's movement in every click. Too fast! Too fast..."Hello?" Getting up would be good. His legs weren't that badly beaten up to be honest. Lets just get up...The movement was cautionary. Slow rolling onto his feet before pushing upwards off one knee and the top edge of the sofa. His legs felt stable enough. Not particularly reassuring but he was upright, wasn't he? Steps came naturally despite a troublesome, persistent bruise on his leg. It was the window that stole him away though. She couldn't help but stare, his lightly-hampered walk towards the glass presented a massive curiosity.
A black sky. Night isn't as simple as being black often enough. The sky always has blue lurking somewhere within. A sort of dye the atmosphere carries but jet back just doesn't normally happen. It's odd to stare at something wrong.
OOC Notes
Frowning as she was a little upset that no one was responding. Are they all dead? Or did they not understand her. Maybe she had to try something else. Writing?
OOC Notes
"Howdy!" He said, waving to her with one and but slipping the other in a jeans pocket. "I'm Tyro. Aaaand you are?" He said as twin tails waft slowly behind him.

Weak and small as she finally screamed and ran out down the hall way screaming help.

"Uuuu-huh...." The fox said with a slow, confused nod of his head. He watched the diminutive girl rush off. Was, was she actually scared of Tyro? He'd only grinned, not smiled. He'd bore no teeth at all. He wasn't that intimidating. Tall? Yes. Able to use it to intimidate? Not so far. Surely he should have arms able to bend steel before small, green-haired girls freaked. With a sigh, Tyro takes light steps towards the hallway before crouching just before.
A scarlet shape could be seen in the corner of Rayo's eye galloping past. It stopped in front of her. The small fox with the two tails bigger than its body, bent low and yapped a little, shaking the tails back and forth vigorously. It's big, brown eyes stared straight up at her. Its mouth hung loose in exited anticipation.
The Fox wanted to play.
OOC Notes
He wasn't waking up.
OOC Notes
Rayo jumped and let out a yelp. Scrambling back from the fox that blocked her path. "Oh gods there are two of them!"
She looked back over at Tyro and shivered. Rayo put her back against the nearest wall and curled up into a ball. She bit her tongue hard. Tasting her blood in her mouth as she sobbed. This can't be a dream. So it must be hell. Rayo shut her eyes tight as she started to remember all of those stories her mother told her about them. "Don't eat me...Don't eat me. Please."
OOC Notes
So the fox slowly trots forwards. He slumps next to her, looking up hopefully before letting his head rest on his little black paws. He begins to whine in the most pathetic way he can.
OOC Notes
Not finding anything that she could give the thing. It should have attacked her by now. But why hadn't it? It was slightly offensive to think that she didn't look that appetizing. "Can you talk?"
OOC Notes
OOC Notes
At this point she was more confused than scared. Finally getting a grip on what was happening. She took a slow look around her. "Where am I."
OOC Notes
Tyro shook his head and hoped never to have to go down that line of thought ever again...He banished it to where it had come from to make sure as Rayo got up.
"It's another name for a soft toy." He said as he stood.
"Where am I?" She asked as she took a slow sweep of the room.
"Your guess is as good as mine."

But, the little girl will definitely freak. Her dead body is supposedly hanging from the ceiling. He was used to illusions but this bunny-rabbit of a girl is just going to freak out. If a small, deliberately (and hopefully) adorable fox makes her recoil then this will just make her run or something. Tyro's fur could be felt on her leg as he sits next to her, looking up.
"Its not real. Your fine..." He said. "You can hug me if you like..."

OOC Notes
Her voice echoed down the halls shivering her her fetal position. Screaming out at both of them again. "Who are you people!? I don't like this. I just want to be back home.."
Trailing off as she whimpered. Half of Rayos mind grinding gears to get herself in gear. This wasn't going to help her live if things like that kept popping up.
OOC Notes
"Shhhhh..." He said moving a little closer to her face. "I'm Tyro and I'm here to help. As long as we're probably stuck here, I'm going to make sure your perfectly fine." Right...ummm...Oh!
"Hang on, hang on!" The pressure from the paw alleviated as he trotted away for a few seconds. Countless thuds like bean bags littering the hallway. Silence then the noise returned with a slight jingling noise. The paws could be felt on her arm again but something quite warm flopped between those paws. You could feel the glow with its orange warmth.
"Wear this. You'll feel better and it will probably keep you safer than not having it. It does get a little warm though." There was a quick lap from something a little damp but ruff...rough.
"Hello? Come on! Pretty, glowing jewellery?"

Nah, I probably will. Maybe with zombies this time, although I would really like to bring the Shadow-Nightmare back.
