Hello. I joined the forum to run an ISG, with my friend syvarris helping me with the writing. I hope you enjoy it!


You feel sick.

There has been a prickly feeling in the back of your head for the last month.  A sensation like an insect crawling up the nape of your neck.  You couldn't find any answers as to why; you had tried to ignore it and hope it'd go away, even as it kept building.  Getting stronger day by day.  Now, you know vaugely what it was.  A warning, of sorts.





Today, you woke up here.  In this strange dungeon.  You were warm last night, curled up in your familiar bed, but now you're cold and alone.  And the pricky sensation has encompassed your entire body ever since you woke up.  You feel terribly disoriented, your thoughts muddled.  Almost alien inside your own head.  It's hard to focus on anything concrete, let alone understand what has happened to you, or why.

You find yourself repeating your name to yourself.  It's something you can ground yourself with, something that gives your dizzied brain some focus.

First!

_{Good luck, little catgirl}

+1, “First” sounds like a great name for a cat girl.

[King Zultan]

+1 to First as it shows we are number one!

I think “Ichigo” would be a better choice.  It’s an actual name, and it means “first child” or “first girl”.

[Maximum Spin]

I'm fine with "First", but crazyabe asked for a sensible name (even though he voted for "first"?), so I suggest "Edward". It's a very sensible, down-to-earth name.

Our name is First because we ain't gonna tell strangers our true name.

_{Also, good luck with ISG, they hard to make and lead.}

What?  Edward?  You're... a girl.  You knew an Edward, once, but it's certainly not your name.  Why did 'Edward' pop into your head now?  Your name is...

Ichigo.  Right.  Your name is Ichigo.  You whisper your name softly, the familiar sound comforting you. It reminds you of your mom, the way she would softly call out to you to wake you up.  The thought of her hurts.  It's been a long time since you've talked to your mother.  You... you should, when you get out of this place, and get back home.



You sigh, repeating your name again.  It does help, despite how sad you are.  As you listen to your own voice, it makes you feel a little more solid.  A little less disoriented.  You are Ichigo.  You're trapped in some awful old dungeon, but you're still Ichigo.  You'll figure something out, you always do, you just need to calm down and think.

Your thoughts are interrupted by a quiet sound, from outside your cell.  The first sound you've heard from outside, since coming here.  It's a short whoosh, like a breeze, or the rush of air as something falls.  It's brief, and barely audible... but repeats after a second.  Then repeats again, audibly closer.



Something is coming towards your cell.  Slowly, and a fair distance away... but you can't run anywhere.  You have no idea what would make that sound.  It's not fast like a flying bird, or loud like footsteps.

What should you do?

Grab the pot. For comfort, maybe for self-defense if needed.

+1 The pot shall protect us!

Stand in the corner. Blind spot. Do not move.
