Though you have no idea that you are one of the many Vanished, you are Vanished. One moment you were either walking along the newly built streets of Gloom, or sleeping in your hotel room, the next moment everything ended. A pitch blackness, an emptiness, only the sound of your heart beat, just maybe, and if so, it is very faint. Your entire world is nothing. No sounds, no vision, no feeling beyond a inner cold that feels empty. No way to call out. No sounds if you try. Nothing. This is what death feel like? A complete lack of everything, except, you know you are there in this absolute nothing. Time stretches and your senses are continuously assaulted by a lack of everything. No sensory input is damned frightening. The void fills you, engulfs you, tears your mind and soul.
An eternity later you still have no sight. Two new feeling come to you. One: you are cold. Shivering cold and it feels like you are laying on cold wet stone. Two: sounds. An occasional cough. Sliding on wet stone. Your, or someone close to you, rumbling stomach. Then: ”Fuuu what happened...” Not your voice. Or was it?
Moments later, in the darkness, you hear: ”No... where is the staff? Oh please no.” Sloshing sounds of skin on wet stone can be heard. Like someone crawling across the ground. ”It’s here. I think. I feel it. It’s behind this wall. Close. So close.” Sounds of soft sobbing is heard.
GM Note to Players:. The first posts are from you, the Vanished, awakening to pitch darkness and laying on cold wet stone. Nude and all Power Points gone. You feel drained, mentally and physically. You are cold, hungry and sightless due to being in a place with no light source. You can talk to each other. See who’s here. As it happens the voice that asked ... what happened ... was Lady Viggo. Everyone has 1 Fatigue level. (-1 on Rolls). New GM Post for Vanished will be up over next day or two with more info (lights might go on).
