LABYRINTH: FIELD TESTS
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. (Which, thankfully, we can now bottle!)
Life in the dome is filled near to the brim, for most, with fear. But it is usually fear you can outgun, outrun; But this, this is fear incarnate. This is fear inescapable. The Keepers have begun experimenting with an aerosol chemical known as LABYRINTH, a gas that creates waking, inescapable hallucinations in whoever inhales it. Subjects essentially become trapped within the confines of their own psyche, often seeing, hearing, feeling, believing their worst fears have come to life; their world has become consumed by fear itself. For some, there is no escape. But for others, perhaps there is a way to escape the labyrinth.
The first round of Labyrinth tests performed by Keepers were conducted in controlled rooms inside the Compound. Keeper R&D (Research & Development) are initiating Labyrinth Field Tests to see how well the aerosol can be deployed in the field. This means your Shifters will be running into Labyrinth 2.0, even just taking a stroll through the daisies. Don't stop to smell the roses -- you might hallucinate them ripping your face off.
How will your Shifter respond to the added stress of environmental dangers? Will they endanger their friends? Will they fall prey to enemies while trapped in their own minds? Will they just curl up in a ball and ride out the trip?
NOTES:
This is not a Fic contest, this is canon! As in, it actually happens to your character physically/mentally/emotionally and has consequences.
It can be a one-shot, fic-like post (our word count minimum is the minimum length) or it can be several posts, or can involve the use of other people's characters (with their permission) or even be roleplayed out with another person. There aren't really limitations to it in that department.
Can be posted anywhere in the dome this year!
