[popdrop] H1: Spectre & Poppy
[The first thing you notice is how dark it is. It’s really, really stinkin’ dark. You can’t see anything. Even if you naturally have the ability to see in the dark, well, not anymore. Which may be the second thing you notice - any powers you have, any magic is gone. Silenced. You can’t feel it, similarly to when you’re in the theme park, with an additional sense of anxiety and loss surrounding the inability to tap into it. Even a heightened sense of emotion won’t bring them back, like it might in the theme park. If you have other powers of some kind, enhanced physical capabilities or the like, they’re either gone or significantly reduced as well. You feel extremely normal and it doesn’t feel good.]
[Whether you stay still or stumble along in the dark, at least it’s not too long. You eventually catch notice of something illuminating the darkness. You find yourself drawn to it. It's a small spherical glass object. Near the edges, it's black, but bits of purple and violet appear, gradually brightening and swirling together in a spiral shape at the center. The spiral at the center is bright enough to bathe you and the surroundings in a soft violet light. As you get closer, you can feel voices coming from the sphere. You can’t tell what they’re saying, but maybe if you were closer. You feel a deep desire in your stomach to just…reach out….]
What are you doing?
[The voice, a woman’s voice, comes from behind you. You didn’t hear anybody approaching, but you’re immediately filled with an intense sense of foreboding. You turn and look, but you can’t see anything. The darkness is once again overpowering, the violet glow from the object next to you being the only thing that isn’t swallowed up by it. All you can make out in the darkness is what may be someone’s face and…two eyes. With nothing in them. Pitch-black.]
You touched the Heart…
You touched MY Heart!?
[There’s a lot of anger and it’s not making that sense of foreboding go away. The darkness and the person(?) inside it advance towards you, slowly engulfing the violet glow around you. Just when you’re thinking you’re gonna have to decide between fight or flight, here — something moves.
Towards you.
You feel something punch into your chest and before you know it, you’re on the ground, searing pain running through your upper body. A few things briefly pass through your senses. You hear a loud scream. If you tilt your head up, you can see a long black spike…embedded in your own chest. And you can taste… …yup. That’s your own blood.
That’s about as far as you get before consciousness leaves you.]

Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
... ... ...also, there's notes with helpful little pictures on which form of media goes where. Did Nell make this? Why did she make this?]
[It's a framed photo of Nell and Hex, both of them dressed up like witches, complete with the pointy hats and broomsticks, presumably for Halloween. Puck is with them, but he's huge. It's not clear whether this was done by photoshop or if he was actually made that big with magic for the photo.]
[You acquired Halloween Picture.]
[It's worth noting - clear age difference between Nell and Hex of nearly a decade in this picture.]
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
[The picture he takes with him, since he's supposed to be collecting important things. Then, he tuns to head out again]
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
Hi! Did you find anything useful?
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
[Heading over to show her]
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
[You can:
>Show Nell Halloween Picture
>Show Nell Trip Schedule
>Tell Nell about Reading Memory]
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
Oh...hehehe. That was a really fun night. I was so excited about wearing my costume and seeing other people's costumes...and that was before I even found out about the candy! Eheheh!
[Then, she looks at the schedule.]
Oohh....we haven't had a chance to do this trip, yet, but we're gonna do it, someday! It's gonna be great!
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
[He hesitates, then describes the memory]
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
Wow. That happened a really, really long time ago.
[She looks down, pensive. Conflicted.]
...it was hard, back then, but. I really did enjoy that time I spent with her. That was how I started learning how to read, after all.
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
I believe they will serve well for what has been asked of me.
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
You can have anything that you think will be able to help you!
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
Then, I'd best be on my way.
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
If...you think you can find anything that will help you open the last room here, feel free to come back!
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
I wish I could be more specific, but I'm not even sure myself. If I think of anything, I'll let you know.
Re: THE WITCH'S CASTLE
Then, I will continue my exploration.
