[ WEEK THREE – ??? (NATALIE) ]

[sheriffexe]

[ The skeletons drag Natalie down for a while, through a thick layer of them -- scratching and tearing and even biting as they go. Any sounds she makes will be muffled and the small amount of light from the pit will eventually fade after a while.

She'll even lose her hat. Shame.

But eventually the skeletons will let up, fading into more of a dirt tunnel than anything else. She'll slide down that for a while until eventually being spit out and landing on a concrete floor.

When she looks up, she'll find herself in what appears to be access tunnels, light bulbs hanging from the ceilings to provide dim light and pipes going along the walls going every which way direction. The room is square and plain and on every side of it has four different tunnels to lead her whichever way she chooses.

She could go forwards, backwards, left, or right. Which way will she go? ]

[ It's a very normal bedroom.

But it is rather tempting. Don't you want to take a nap, Natalie? You've been awake for a while, after all. ]

[robitussin]

I don't trust this. Any of this.

[Just, you know, for the record. So the bedroom knows.

...She's going to sit on the bed for literally one second before hopping off again to see if anything happens.]

[sheriffexe]

[ Nothing happened!

:) ]

[robitussin]

[Somehow she feels like this room is mocking her so she's l e a v i n g.

...After sitting for two minutes. It's fine.]

[sheriffexe]

[ NOTHING HAPPENED, NATALIEEEEE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST EAT THE FOOOOD

OR SLEEP IN THE BEEEEDD

It's all normal and fine :'( ]

[robitussin]

[SHUT UP BRACKET TEXT!!!

She's grabbing her plate of food and leaving.]

[sheriffexe]

[ :( :( :(

But okay, fine. Keep walking then!

She'll have to walk a bit actually because it'll take her two hours to get to the next intersection. Still basked in cozy wood though. What now? ]

[robitussin]

[At least she has food for this part! Eat it, terrifying devil cave.

Next, she's going to head to the left.]

[sheriffexe]

[ UGH, WHATEVER.

When Natalie turns left, the corridors will change again. Wood slowly turns softer and softer until Natalie will find herself surrounded by... uh, fur.

Plush orange and white fur on every side, kind of like tiger stripes but lighter. Almost like a creamsicle.

And the more she walks, the more she'll hear a fainting purring noise coming from... everywhere?

Honestly, it seems to be coming out of the walls. ]

[robitussin]

[She... freezes, because holy shit?

Okay. Okay, this is very weird but she has to just keep... moving forward. Quickly. Very quickly? She's running.]

[sheriffexe]

[ The purring grows louder. ]

[robitussin]

[NOPE!!

time to turn around immediately this is Bad]

[sheriffexe]

[ Except the moment she turns around, it's going to start growling. :( ]

[robitussin]

[Screams internally. This is fine.

Okay, time to turn around again!! Hopefully this stops the growling.]

Uh... Nice kitty?

[sheriffexe]

[ Purr purr purr :3 ]

[robitussin]

[She regrets every decision that has led her to this point.

Time to hurry through this area, then, because this is creepy. Bye cat hallway??]

[sheriffexe]

[ The cat hallway keeps going for about two hours and as Natalie exits it, she'll feel the ghost sensation of a cat tongue on her face.

But she's in an intersection again! And this one is just made out of concrete again. Where to now? ]

[robitussin]

[LITERALLY WHY!!

She shrieks a little and nearly drops her plate of food in her haste to rub at her face, shuddering as she looks at the hall behind her. Gross.

This time, she continues forward.]

[sheriffexe]

[ Forward march!

It all seems pretty alright as Natalie goes along but then the walls sort of start getting... slimmer... and slimmer.

And then it grows darker.

It grows darker until the only glint of light are the spikes coming out of the walls, metal and pointy and so, so very close

They also seem to be vibrating, as if they wanted to just push in and... squish... her.

Walk carefully, Natalie. The halls are narrow. ]

[robitussin]

[Oh. She just kind of stands there and stares at one of the spikes for a second, but.

Nope she's going back to the last intersection and going left?? Bye.]

[sheriffexe]

[ YOU ALREADY COMMITTED!!!

So, sucks 2 b u, Natalie, but it looks like the intersection closed up the moment you made your choice. Yikes. ]

[robitussin]

Oh, come on, seriously?!

[TOSSES A PIECE OF MEAT AT THE WALL like a mature adult. Whatever!!

I guess she's doing this spike thing. Very slowly and very carefully.]

[sheriffexe]

[ The piece of meat screams. ]

[robitussin]

[she pauses for a long, long moment before she just

sets down the entire plate

and scoots it away with her foot]

[sheriffexe]

[ Good move, Natalie!

So, she'll walk, right? But prepare for the longest walk of your life because it will take nine hours to walk through those spikes.

And be very, very careful not to touch any of them. ]
