At first, all there is is darkness. Like stepping outside after staring into a lightbulb- -it has about the same affect on all of your eye sights. You can detect shape, but until your eyes adapt you can't really make anything out.

"Oh dear, this may be a problem." Guide's voice speaks from beside you. Something large, furry, and silver steps backward towards the portal just as the portal slams shut on itself. Once the bright light is gone, it's easier to adapt. The land was holding its breath, waiting for the vortex to disappear. Once the swirling lights vanish, a natural glow begins, emerging from the ground and sky at the same time.

Guide has vanished. Instead, a very large and frail-looking silver wolf stands beside you. It quivers slightly, ears fully alert and straining to hear. "It would seem that a few demons have beaten us here. This place looks different." unlike your other wolf companions, this one speaks aloud. It has the same lilting voice and calm mannerisms as your Guide, and it's pretty obvious that the elf and the wolf are the same thing.

The landscape is barren, but that doesn't matter. For those who may be queasy, this place will have you keeping your eyes shut. The horizon is accurate, but at the same time it's hiding behind you, creeping up next to you, doing backflips above you, and mirroring itself in front of you. Clouds drift by above you, and as they pass they float beneath you. Grey grass grows at eye level, but is felt by your knees. Some of you are suddenly upside down to the others, while others only appear in 2 dimensions.

It looks like someone spilled grey and white over everything. It acts like a badly rendered video game. It feels absolutely nauseating.

"Perhaps," Guide concedes, "This was not such a good idea. The demons have eaten away most of the color and fun things to do. Sadly, I can't make those portals at whim, so we're stuck for a while. Try to...be at home."

"Ugh," Terra falls down to her knees and rams her eyes shut, "You thought it was a good idea WHY? This place is terrible!" She tries to keep her stomach to herself, but she'd never felt so...spaced out before. Chancing a glance, and finding a grass blade at eye level she leaps to her feet---where the grass was brushing by..."Let's get outta here. I'll do anything I can to get out of here as fast as possible." (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 17:33:09 01/21/05 Fri
