"this is a dialogue."
swirling darkness. a faint hum. the weight of the world on her chest. those were the conditions persephone was in as she struggled between consciousness and unconsciousness. her mind willed her to move but her body wouldn't allow it. the humming continued to grow until it was almost a ringing sound in her ears. god this was giving her a headache. open your eyes. move. yet nothing. she focused on taking breaths, at least she knew she was alive. a groan escaped her as she tried to force her eyes open. but they were heavy, oh so heavy. the ringing grew louder.
the ringing was insufferable. she could barely focus on anything because of it. every time she thought she was about to move, nothing happened. until finally, a twitch of her fingers. that was the breakthrough she needed. open your eyes. get up! with another groan, she sat upwards, eyes groggily opening. she felt like she had been run over 6 times be a semi, but she was moving. her vision was blurry and quickly her hands moved to rub the sleep out of her eyes. expecting to be in a bed of some sort, when she finally was able to take in her surroundings her heartbeat skyrocketed. this was not her bedroom. wait what did her bedroom even look like? she couldn't remember. how did she get here? she couldn't remember. the only few thoughts passing through her brain were bright white lights and a syringe of some kind. that's it. her breath quickened as she felt panic start to set in. thank god the ringing had finally stopped.
her eyes started scanning the room as she scampered backwards, her back hitting the wall with a thud. there were other people here, most of them still unconscious on the floor. what the fuck was going on? she couldn't think straight, she couldn't remember anything. she pressed herself further against the wall as more people came to. she thought if she pressed hard enough maybe she could disappear inside of it. she found herself scanning the room for an exit, anything. a door, a window, a crack in the wall. but there was nothing. not a door or window in sight. just these looming walls and eerie green lights. her stomach twisted. was this some kind of sick joke? she hit the back of her head against the wall, hoping to jog some sort of memory. but still, nothing came. more people were moving now, her eyes drawn back to the commotion. some were starting to talk but she was not listening. she grabbed herself and started clawing at her arms. she was panicking. she needed to wake herself up or something. tears brimmed the corners of her eyes but she didn't stop clawing away. someone was approaching her but she wasn't paying attention. she hit her head on the wall again. wake up. wake up. WAKE UP!
the figure was next to her now, she couldn't ignore their presence. her eyes shot up to meet them, fearing they were here to do something awful to her. upon eye-contact all that fear evaporated. instead, a feeling of serenity clouded her. he was a giant man, at least over a foot taller than herself. however she didn't feel cornered. he has shaggy brown hair and dark brown eyes. she slowly stopped clawing at herself, not even noticing she was bleeding a bit now. she swallowed hard, her mouth dry. she had no words. the feeling of comfort was stabbed by a loud crackling followed by a voice. an intercom system? her head tilted upwards in a feeble attempt to find the source.
"Ah good, you're all awake. Welcome to your new reality." the voice was followed by a half-hearted chuckle, as if they thought they were clever. The room of people did not respond. The voice cleared their throat. "You are all now members of Duality. Consider yourselves the Zodiacs. Don't worry about your names right this second, they'll come to you eventually. If you take a look at the black tank top you're wearing, you'll see something embroidered onto it. That would be your zodiac." A muffled voice far away from the mic caused him to stop speaking. Taking this opportunity, she tilted her head down and read her shirt. It had Gemini on it, in simple block lettering. Before she realized what she was doing, her eyes were on the person still crouched next to her. their shirt also had Gemini on it. maybe that's why she feels like she can trust him. she was about to speak, to ask him if he knew what was going on when the voice started to talk again. "Well let's get on with it, shall we? Consider this a test. You 13 must work together to complete this little escape room we've concocted for you. If you pass you will join our ranks and briefed on what your purpose is. If you fail..." the voice trailed off before picking back up. "...you die. Good luck!" as the intercom clicked off, a riddle appeared on the wall. it was being projected.
It cannot be seen whenever it's there. It fills up a room, and is much like the air. It cannot be touched, and there's nothing to hear. It is quite harmless - there's nothing to fear. What is it?
as soon as the riddle appeared, all four walks began to creak and slide across the floor. they weren't moving fast but not slow either. if they didn't solve the riddle soon they would all be crushed.
she felt her heart start to race again. die? no. this simply has to be a nightmare. she felt the urge to start clawing at herself or someone else. her eyes found a girl not to far off with platinum blonde hair. she seemed weak enough. leaning forward she came to a jarring halt. what was she thinking? why did she feel an urge in the pit of her stomach to maul that girl over there? to see what she looked like on the inside? shaking her head she banged it against the wall again, another attempt to clear it and jog some sort of memory. once again to no avail. she turned to the person next to her and realized she felt no urge to cause them any harm. she felt the opposite actually. so instead, she grabbed onto his arm. another wave of comfort rolled over her, and she leaned more into him. still finding no words, she remained silent.
