UNHOLY DISORDER

[Something is wrong with the room you are in.

At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.

But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.

You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.

You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.

But so are you.]

[ He was halfway to pulling out a book and he just drops it at that sound.

His hands move reflexively to his ears as if it can block out the shouts, but ofc it doesn't ??? It's all in his head and the torrent is there and he just - ]


Stop. Just stop. I can't help you from here.

[ It's an outloud plea of a desire to help and find, but he can't with mind swimming. And he wants to scream - who? where? ]

[Wow. He hates this a lot. Teeth gritting, he thinks for a moment over what they might be able to do.]

Hey. If I played music, or something, would that help drown anything out?

I just have to deal with it.
