Introduction

You have been pulled into a new world. It is a strange and creepy looking place.

More importantly how do you get back? Prepare to embark on a steampunk journey in "The Afterverse".

Joanne stared at Simon and the woman with a literally blank expression - her pupils weren't invisible. The girl grinned. The grin turned in a chuckle, which morphed into a hysterical laughter.

"Putting spells on other women, mr Glunwick?" She blurted like she was drunk. "I thought you had a mutual and natural romance with Tallya! What happened?"
The girl ran towards Simon, charging her fist at him.
"Tell me now!" She yelled.

Joanne froze in place and went silent. Her pupils appeared on her eyes again.
"Oh, Mr. Glunwick, we found you! Have you seen Tallya and Izzy? Who's that woman?"

Simon stared at Joanne and blinked slowly, he stood there scared. These illusions were claiming his friends left and right, he looked at Joanne intensely before speaking.
"Joanne, this is Solaris. . . The owner of this house of horrors and she. . ." Solaris gracefully stepped forward cutting off Simon's train of thought.

"Why don't you sit dear? I'm sure you've had a day of it . . ." Solaris spoke with a charm spell casting over to calm Joanne as sh poured the both some white wine.

(Sadly, xxMCxxMIKEYxx won't be participating in the story any more. From now on according to aleksiempainen, Tallya's actions can be controlled by everyone, as long as she stays in character.)

Joanne's eyes were half closed, a light smile formed on her face.
"You are the owner of this place? What it is like?" Joanne asked calmly, like she have already had her glass of wine.

"What... just... happened... What was that thing? Where is everybody?" Tallya thought and started running.
She was surrounded by darkness, not being able to see anything. She reached to take one of her matches until she remembered Simon's words...

"This is a light trap corridor. ANY light at all and it sets off blackpowder charges."

"So it's either wandering around without any sense of direction, or being slown down by numerous illusions." Tallya thought and grinned.
"Both are difficult, but neither is impossible." She thought and lit a match.

"The latter is more fun!" Tallya exclaimed and started running. She could see an enormous pit in front of her, yet she ran over it. The pit disappeared. She was a bit surprised when rocks were falling in front of her, but that was it. Her legs were being attacked by snakes, she could even feel the pain from their bites slowing her down a bit. However Tallya kept running, until she could see light in front of her.

"Is this an illusion too? There's only one way to find out." Tallya thought and blew the match. The light was still there. Probably it would lead her somewhere.


"Tallya!" Joanne exclaimed. "We're gathering! Only Izzy is left"

Izy coukdnt breahe. He watched as the figure of his father got closer and closer. It was so real, the smell of alcohol and cigerettes and the big meaty fists. He backed into a wall and ducked down waiting fir the hit.

Simon sat there clutching his glass of wine in one hand and clutching his head in the other as he was slumped down in the chair. He felt more sober the more he drank, more sane. He didn't want to be sane again. . . Sanity hurts. . .
"Joanne. . . This. . . This is all my fault. I should have known sooner I. . . " Simon bit his lip as Solaris glanced over to him with a slight frown splayed across her unblemished face.

Solaris then glanced over to Joanne speaking smoothly like syrup.
"Owning this place is a gift, a truly magical gift indeed. . . My special talents assist me in maintaining this place and . . . 'helping' those who get lost."
