''hey [[wake up]]''

''hey'' ''i said hey'' ''i said wake up'' ''[[HEY]]''

''WAKE UP!'' [[Do as you're told.]]

You feel your eyes open slowly as the voice continues to yell into your head. You don't recognise it, of course. If you did, you'd have already identified it by now instead of referring to it as "the voice". ''finally'' You look at your surroundings. [[Or at least, you try to.]]

[[...]]

[[....]]

[[.....]]

You see nothing. [[Just a void.]]

Darkness swirls around you. Can darkness swirl? Semantics. You wonder if you maybe you can't see. So you close your eyes. Believe it or not, the darkness has gotten darker. You open your eyes again. It's like a night time darkness, it seems. Just with no stars. Or visible light source. Or ground. It's not that you're //blind// persay, you deduce, just that the "world" around you is actually composed of darkness. [[None of this makes any sense.]]

''youre in a void, dumbass'' ''of course you cant see anything. theres nothing there to see'' Oh. Even though you don't understand what the voice is talking about, you feel really stupid now. [[Apologise.]]

you let out an apology ''you dont need to apologise to me, you know that right'' ''wait'' ''ok actually i wont ask that. instead...'' ''[[ask if you have any questions for me]]''

[["Who/what are you?"]] [["Where am I?"]] [["What do you mean by a void!?"]] [["Can I go back to sleep?"]]

''you... ... ... ... ..... dont recognise me...?'' [["No, I don't. Sorry."]]

''like i said, ,, the void'' ??? You don't get it. ''ok, right. think about it like this [[howve you felt recently?]]''

''yknow that thing where theres nothing'' ... ''ok that phrasing made no sense, my bad. yknow when theres a vacuum? a vast emptiness filled with nothing? thats where you are right now'' But, you wonder. How can you breathe in a vacuu- ''shut up. doesnt matter. think about //why// youre here.'' [[Why?]]

''no, dont ask stupid questions'' Well, that was [[disappointing|hub1]].

[["Who/what are you?"|who2]] [["Where am I?"]] [["What do you mean by a void!?"]]

''you... ... ... ... ..... dont recognise me...?'' [["No, I don't. Sorry."|no2]]

''...huh. that hurts. it really does. well, youll need to work that out. im sure you can eventually [[anyway.|hub2]]''

[["Where am I?"]] [["What do you mean by a void!?"]] [["Can I go back to sleep?"|sleep3]]

''no, dont ask stupid questions'' Well, that was [[disappointing|hub3]].

You have a think about your answer to the question, even though you already know it instantly. Things have been rough recently. Your mental health has been dipping for reasons you'd understandably rather not get into, your physical health has been slipping due to the mental health issues, and you've honestly been feeling pretty lonely. But what does that have to do with anything? [[And why should you even tell this weird ominous voice all about your life anyway?]]

You have a wee think about it. But nothing comes to you. Why would it? Things were going normally at h''//####//'' and then you fell asleep until you heard the voice's annoying pestering. ''//sigh// of course you dont know then let me ask a question [[howve you felt recently?]]

You open your mouth to [[lie]]. ''yeah, knew it.'' ?? What? ''ive literally already read your thoughts before now so idk how youve not, like, figured that you cant lie to me yet'' [[............]] Well, that's unnerving as all hell. How are you meant to react to that? A seemingly all-knowing voice that can read your thoughts, sasses you and won't tell you what's going on other than asking questions that just make things more confusing. Might as well ask though you know you won't get a helpful answer. [["So, how is that relevant?"]]

Probably something like "I'm fine, cheers. What the hell are you asking!?" or "'sall been good, aye" or "yup." The last of which wouldn't have even gotten close to answering the question, but you suppose that's the point. All that matters is that you don't answer the question, because you have a better one for yourself: [[And why should you even tell this weird ominous voice all about your life anyway?]]

Was this voice thing ominous and intimidating, or a weird joke? On the one hand, the whole thought reading stuff was spooky, but on the other hand it literally just said "idk" out loud (or as out loud as a voice that seems to be going directly in your head can be). And as deep as the voice is ''baritone, actually'' as //baritone// as the voice is, it seemed pedantic, immature and kind of soft and not very intimidating in tone. ''how dare you'' Point proven. Well, it would be if it weren't for its mystery, existence, weirdness and creepy words. ''anyway, can you stop dissing me for 5 seconds so we can get back on track [[please?|And why should you even tell this weird ominous voice all about your life anyway?]]''

''do i have to explain everything to you?'' You've never heard a sigh like the one the voice just gave, but it resonated deep in your soul. You feel yourself take a physical step back just because the fact that you could //feel// a sigh took you off guard so much. ''its a manifestation of your mental state, you dolt. think about it. youve not been feeling well. youve felt lost and empty. and where are you?'' Feels a little on the nose, but alright. That makes sense, you suppose. Well, not really. But what does any more? Might as well embrace what little you can. "So to leave, do I just need to feel [[better]]?"

''oh yeah, if you just smile and think about cats you'll feel much better and never feel mentally unwell again'' [[You don't appreciate the voice's tone.]]

[[You wait for the voice to apologise.]]

[[You wait patiently for the voice to apologise.]]

[[You wait very patiently for the voice to apologise.]]

''look, ok. fine. that was too rude. im sorry'' ... ''i said im sorry, ok! anyway, you want to know how to get out, right?'' You give a silent nod. ''you wont be able to get better quickly, but you //can// at least try to find some comfort. if youre comfortable with anything or yourself, even briefly, you should be able to leave'' [[Contemplate this.]]

You try really, really hard to work out something you like about yourself right now. You close your eyes and think super hard. [[Come up with an idea.]]

[[Keep trying.]]

''[[you've got this]]''

[[Give up.]]

Nope, nothing. ''ok, next plan is for you to actually go on a journey of the soul. i know that sounds like a joke but i swear to god im bein legit'' ...Maybe this is just a bad dream after all. How was that not the first thing you considered? ''dont even try and use that cop out. just walk through the void for a while and im sure youll think of something. and maybe eventually find your way'' [[Do as you're told and walk.]] [[Try and wake up from this dream.]]

You're skeptical, but screw it. What is there to lose at this point? You'll either escape, or wake up eventually. Might as well do as the voice says. At least until it leaves anywa ''im coming with'' ...Dammit. [[Start walking.]]

You close your eyes and open them again. You try this for quite some time. ''it wont work'' You slap yourself in the face. It hurts. You try this again and again for quite some time until it hurts too much. ''im telling you to stop'' You shake your head, your body, your everything. You try this for quite some time. ''look.'' But you won't give up. You'll wake up eventually you're sure. Or at least, that's what you keep telling yourself for quite some time until you suddenly fade into the void and become one with it. ''//BAD END - CAN'T WAKE ME UP INSIDE//'' [[Return to Start?|Home]] [[Return to Prior Choice?|Give up.]]

Thankfully, as you take your first few steps, the voice says nothing. And as you keep walking further and further into the aimless darkness - at least, you assume you're going further into it and not walking on the spot - the voice stays silent. Finally, some peace and quiet. Eventually you realise you must have been walking for hours. You take a look at your watch. Nothing. Guess it mustn't work in the void. [[Time passes.]]

You start to feel an unease as you realise you've probably not made any progress. What if you're trapped here forever? What if this void will become your new h###? What if this isn't a dream? ''what if this your life now'' what if youre trapped here? what if this ''is what you'll become? Another part of the void?'' [[You feel a headache building.]]

[["Where am I?"]] [["What do you mean by a void!?"]]

''...huh. that hurts. it really does. well, youll need to work that out. im sure you can eventually [[anyway.|hub3]]''

Your head starts to throb and tears begin to drip down your face. Your breathing starts to get <blockquote>Harsher</blockquote> and you feel every muscle in your body clenching. Each step is becoming harder and harder to push. ...And then you have the feeling akin to a [[collapse]].

It's worth noting that you haven't actually collapsed. You're still on both of your feet. You still feel conscious and awake. And yet, you feel like you've collapsed. You feel like you've fainted. Your breathing has ceased, or at least you think it has. ''breathe.'' The damned voice is still there. And it's still trying to tell you what to do. ''you can do it. just breathe. remember who you are. You don't know! ''remember where youre going.'' [[I don't know!]]

''then remember what youre looking for. ground yourself. breathe'' You scream internally for the voice to shut up. To leave you alone. To give you some peace and quiet! You can't do this. You can't do this. [[You ca]]

Your eyes open again. But this time, there's [[no void.]]

@@color:red;Colours@@ @@color:blue;swirl@@ @@color:yellow;around@@ @@color:magenta;you@@. Shapes of various @@color:green;colour@@ float around you and change shape and @@color:cyan;colour@@ at will. Nothing seems to settle for even a brief moment. When you blink, the surroundings @@color:lime;change@@ @@color:purple;again@@ and @@color:orange;again@@. Some of the shapes are identifiable ⃞ ⃤ Others, not so much. Some of these do not even appear to be real shapes that exist in your reality. Some with more edges than can even be counted. Some with no edges, and yet do not appear to be circular or round. Some with points in places that almost cannot be discerned. [[You appear to have left the void, at least.]]

!@@color:cyan;✰@@ Instead, you're in some kind of weird, abstract world. You look down @@color:red;↓@@. There's still no clear ground that you're standing on. Just more colours and shapes. You look up @@color:green;↑@@. There's still no clear sky above you. Or anything, really. Just more colours and shapes. You look ahead @@color:orange;→@@. You see no horizon. Just more colours and shapes. You decide to stop walking and consult the voice about [[where you are.]]

!@@color:magenta;⏢@@ The voice does not answer. You appear to be [[alone]].

!@@color:purple;▱@@ You feel yourself letting out a sigh of relief without even consciously doing it. You might be in a terrifying, bizarre, @@color:red;colourful@@ world, but you at least don't have a voice p e s t e r i n g you at every turn. ...You walk "forward" in silence. [[Step.]]

!@@color:yellow;◇@@ [[Step..]]

!@@color:orange;⧥@@ Loneliness is beginning to kick in. [[Step...]]

!@@color:silver;◯@@ You're alone. Same as always. Everyone leaves you. ''even the voi''ce. no//body// ''ever'' @@colour:teal;stays@@ [[Your knees feel weak.]]

!@@color:aqua;🞺@@ You must fight the urge to collapse. [[Fight.]] [[Give in.]]

!@@color:gray;♢@@ You push yourself to keep moving. You can continue on. You can find your way out. You can find yourself. You can't give up now. The voice was just annoying you anyway. A distraction. You aren't alone. You never were. You have friends on the other side, right? People who love and care about you. You try and think of them. And the colours start to fade away and the shapes become gradually more recognisable. [[At least at first.]]

[header] [colour code: #F92929] [shape: hexagon] [/header] [/colour code: #F92929] [/shape] Whereas earlier you felt the sensation of collapsing without actually collapsing, this time you actually just fall straight to the "ground".

Time passes with the end still out of sight. Even your positive thinking isn't enough to help when the never ending silence continues. Loneliness keeps poking its head in to greet you; no matter how much you try and avoid it. And eventually, you're back in the purely @@color:blue;colourful@@ world again. Shapes have become infinitely more abstract and surreal. Your senses are numbing. You can feel yourself becoming more and more uncomfortable as everything takes over. ...And then, a sudden primal fear begins to take over as you sense a presence behind you. [[Run away.]]

You try to run, but your body freezes. No matter how much you try and put a foot forwards, it refuses to move. You're trapped. And whatever is behind you is getting closer. [[Turn around.]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> [[-]]

You slowly start to turn around. And as you do, the threat to your life is beginning to become clearer and clearer. Until it's all in [[view]].

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> A giant floating cube has approached. Despite only being a cube, you feel shivers go down your spine as it eases closer and closer. If you thought the voice from earlier was ominous, then this is truly terrifying. [[Initiate.]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> A giant floating cube attacks. What do you do? [[Attempt to Run]] [[Attempt to Fight]] [[Attempt to Contact the Voice]] [[Beg for Mercy]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> Didn't we already establish that you couldn't run? Your body is still frozen in fear. Beads of sweat drop down your forehead, running down your neck and torso. Your body seizes up. The most you can do is take a gulp of air and hope this will be over with soon. [[Cube's Turn|Turn1CubeRun]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> You cannot move. You have no weapons. You only feel terror in the face of the cube. How are you supposed to fight? [[Cube's Turn|Turn1CubeFight]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> The cube does... something. You take 2 psychic damage. Your head is throbbing slightly. Nothing a painkiller won't fix, though. [[Your Turn|Turn1Run]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> As you lie on the ground alone and bleeding, you try to think of anything you can do. And as you come up empty, your life flashes before your eyes. Your friends. Your family. Your loved ones. Everyone who's ever cared about you. And who you are. And then you realise who you are. Who the voice is. And with this realisation, you know how to get out of here. [[Remember yourself.]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> You begin to remember times you've played video games. Times you've eaten some pretty amazing burritos. Times you've slept in for the hell of it. The cube shrinks. [[Remember your loved ones.]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> You remember celebrating the holidays with your family. Going abroad. Large meals. Arguing with parents about your future. You remember going to your friends' to play games. Fall outs you've had. Insults you've thrown at each other with a laugh. Hobbies you've shared. Late night calls. Texts. Compliments. The cube shrinks further. [[Remember the voice.]]

You recognise the voice now. It should have been familiar. But you suppressed it. You denied it. ''took you long enough'' As your breathing returns to normal. As the cube shrinks and the surroundings return, you hear the voice. But this time, you know who it belongs to. You know what it is. ''sorry for losing you there, but you were losing yourself you werent you for a moment'' The cube shrinks. [[Remember Home.]]

<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2GuOgWwAIdIva.png:large"> You and the voice remember home. You remember what your flat is like. You remember the guests you've had over, the smell of the food in your kitchen, your reasonably sized bathroom, the messes you've made, the tidying you've done... You remember the times you've felt at home with family. The times you've felt at home with friends. Even when not in the flat, you were there. You were always there. You were comfortable. And the voice was with you. The voice was part of you. The cube shrinks. ''[[embrace the voice]]''

The cube is barely visible. Opening your eyes wearily, you see a faint form that appears to be the source of the voice. Weakly lifting your arms up, you embrace it in a hug. The cube disappears. You are whole. 9 health recovered. [[Observe surroundings.]]

You look around. The @@color:magenta;coloured@@ shapes are still all present, but... they are beginning to s l o w l y @@color:grey;fade@@ away into nothing.

[[Think about your favourite food.]] [[Think about your favourite hobby.]] [[Think about your favourite view.]]

You think about your favourite food. You think about its taste. Its smell. How it's made. Its appearance. The times you've had it alone. The times you've shared it. And most importantly; the larger, overall memories of it. You miss it. You miss h##e. [[Think.|Think2]]

You think about your favourite hobby. Spending it with friends. Doing what you can of it alone, whatever it may be. The support your family has given you through it. The joy it brings. And you remember what sparked that interest. What made you want to do it so badly in the first place. And how it makes you feel when you do it. You miss it. You miss h##e. [[Think.|think4]]

You imagine you're there. Looking out at the surroundings. Taking in every detail you can remember. The skyline, or perhaps the walls?, the heights, the smells, the sounds, the textures and the feelings. The people you were with. The peaceful silence when alone. The temperature. The sensations. You miss it. You miss h##e. [[Think.|think6]]

[[Think about your favourite hobby.|hobby2]] [[Think about your favourite view.|view2]]

[[Think about your favourite view.|view3]]

You miss home. You miss everything that makes you feel at home. And what that is... is [[comfort]].

You walk through the corridor with ease as you think about all these things that made you feel comfortable and content. And as you do, walls beginning to spring up from the ground. A floor grows beneath you. Windows. Doors. Familiar sites. And the voice [[changes.]]

Your inner thoughts sound like yours again. You recognise yourself 100% truly at last. You're at home with yourself in your own body. You're [[you.]]

You walk to the bed and lie down. You're you. You're you. You're you. And that's ok. Because when you're happy. When you're comfortable with yourself. That's when you've [[found]]
