"No!"
With a gasp, Asher awoke, sitting straight up. He immediately began to regret it as his vision swam, his surroundings vanishing into a swirl of darkness. His own outline was hard to distinguish, clad as he was in a black t-shirt and grey jeans; much less the rest of the room. With a groan, he laid back down.
His vision eventually snapped back into focus, and he ran a hand through his curly blond hair as he sat up. He seemed to be in some sort of library, with shelves stretching away into the distance as far as he could see (which, admittedly, wasn't far). However, most of these shelves stood empty, with only one or two books sitting on them, their titles conspicuous only by their absence. A door was set into the wall a few feet away, and though windows were placed high above, they let in no light.
Standing up carefully, he staggered into a bookshelf, using it to hold himself up as he inspected the rest of the room. It definitely wasn't where he had last remembered being, with the bright light and crushing stone. Shaking his head, he thrust the thought from his mind and released the bookshelf. Feeling steadier, he walked to the door and carefully opened it and got his first glimpse of what was assuredly Hell.
The sky was empty; no sun, stars or moon shone their friendly light down, and no clouds floated high above to obscure their welcoming gaze. The street was decayed in several places, with holes worn into it here and there, reaching down into dark oblivion. The buildings were likewise crumbling and destroyed. Several seemed to be missing doors and windows, while others were completely boarded up. One was splashed with what looked horribly like blood.
All in all, not the best place to find yourself in.

Erin Laidlann
Takaneko City, East Harbor
The scent of salt water filled the air, carried by the wind and into her nostrils. She couldn't help but lose herself in thought, surrounded by the smell for the moment.
She stood fairly tall, with pale skin and freckles framing the sides of her face. Bright orange hair curled in an unruly manner, several crazed strands handing down to the sides of her head. A thick hair-tie held the majority back into a low ponytail, the hair hanging from it bursting outwards like a budding flower, trying in vain to escape its confines.
A green turtle-neck covered her torso, consuming her figure and hiding it beneath its folds. Jeans covered her legs, slight tears beginning to form along the knees, and boots protected her feet, large and a dark brown.
Takaneko City.
Those words. They were the first thing she remembered. She had apparently died, that much she knew.
Or, at least, she should have died. Yet here she stood; Erin Laidlann. She had thought long and hard, but had no idea what 'Takaneko City' might have to do with her past life. Or even what any of that past life was.
Her hand stopped, gripping the sharpening stone tight. Slowly, she placed it back into the bag beside her, hefting the pack over her shoulder. Her other hand handled the broadsword carefully, raising it and placing it into its sheath upon her back.
Time to see why this place was so important.
The formerly dead girl began walking, leaving the scent of salt water behind her.

Asher stepped warily outside, observing his surroundings carefully. The street seemed deserted, though the back of his neck prickled ominously, warning that this was not the case. As he began to walk, footsteps echoing down the street, the feeling only intensified. He looked around fearfully, but saw nothing.
He was truly spooked now, and began to run, only to trip and nearly fall on his face as a gigantic sound reverberated across the street. The sky flashed a dull red, then faded back to its featureless grey. Asher steadied himself, then looked up at the sky. This time, he was prepared as the sound blared again, and he was able to discern what it was: the beep of a hospital monitor.
At that moment, however, he heard a thunderous roar echo down the street. He glanced over his shoulder as the ground began to shake, then started to run again; where, he did not know.
As he rounded the corner, he saw an arrow spray painted on a wall nearby, pointing down a side street. Without hesitation, he followed it, ending up on another dark, decayed road. As he sprinted down it, he noticed yet another arrow. Underneath was written a single word: hospital.
Outside, in the real world, his heart began to race.

"Oooooh, sounds like some havoc's about to drop!" A voice giggled, listening to the roar of one of many strange things in the streets.
The woman's head leaned out a window into the alleyway, half shaved and the other half a bright neon blue, laying flat over her head.

Takaneko City, East Side
Erin made her way through the streets. She wondered exactly what was important about this island.
She could feel something, something drawing her deeper. Her boots clicked against the sidewalk, the woman quickly following the streets.

Takaneko City, East Harbour
The boat blasted forth its horn across the busy harbour. Seagulls took to the sky at the mournful roar, screaming over the lap of waves and murmur of conversation. His boots, polished to a shine, hit the wharf. His long coat was buttoned against the chill, white. He was pale and thin yet tall, his clothes hung off him as though once fit him, but no longer. It was done up to the throat, as if he was afraid it would be caught by something. His green eyes were clear but somehow sad, his hair parted in the middle to either side, black and curled yet pale like himself. From one hand hung a heavy suitcase.
He stood on the dock uncertainly, a white figure surrounded by the grey of cement and bricks. Even the sky was a dismal colour, like someone had drained it of life. He glanced across it, thoughtful yet wary. All of a sudden he sighed and started off, his steps purposeful, though he hadn't an idea where he was going.

"Now who wants to see a trick!"
The crowd of Japanese and Chinese men and women shrugged uncertainly at this flashy man in his scarlet lined cap and tall top hat. He grinned, mustache blooming from his face in a handlebar. "Well ladies and gentlemen I see we have a discourse. Now, observe, nothing up me sleeve, as you can see," he declared, tugging down his white cuffs and showing them around. "Quite spectacular no? And yet, oh my!" The crowd gasped as, from his fist he seemed to draw a long elegant blade with a silver pommel. "Yes! Look and be amazed! Where does it come from? Not my sleeve, I showed you. Dare you challenge the proof of your own eyes!" he cried, swinging the sword about. "Do not be alarmed folks! I have a license to carry a concealed weapon. Oh! But what's this?" Suddenly tilting his head back, he fed the blade down into his throat, much to the crowds increasing delight. He swallowed thickly, then performed a deep bow.

Asher glanced up, hearing a voice, then was almost immediately diverted by another arrow. He glanced back, and new life sprang into his steps as he saw what was chasing him: what seemed to be a coyote on hind legs, lacking any fur. Sores and lesions pocked its skin, and it let out another high pitched shriek as it darted towards him.
Asher tore around the corner and spotted it ahead of him: the hospital. Spotlights shone from the courtyard, and the doors stood wide open. There was only one problem: the large concrete wall surrounding the hospital campus. The gates were blocked by a series of wreckage, stalling any entrance into the building.
He skidded to a halt in front of the debris, eyes wide. Looking back, he spotted the coyote run around the corner. He pressed up against the debris, eyes wide, and felt his body begin to
shift
. He could hear tendons crack and bones shift as he wormed his way through the wreckage, appearing on the other side.
From beyond the gates, he heard a frustrated howl.
In the real world, Asher began to twitch, grunting, as the veins in his arms began to write like snakes.

Takaneko Island, Otherworld
The girl moved through the building, dancing through halls and rooms, snatching a weapon up as she passed by it.
Coming to another window, she raised it. The rocket-propelled grenade launcher required her to hold it with both hands, a bulbous projectile sticking out the front of the long pipe. She was muscular, but not so much so to erase the natural curves of her form. Her clothes were scarce; a tube-top covering her breasts, ribbons falling from the back of it like a tattered cape. Cargo pants covered her legs, lined with an absurd amount of pockets, only added to by the pouches hanging from her belt.
"Here doggy!" She shouted with a whistle, firing off the rocket. The projectile screeched through the air, twirling and gaining far more speed than it should have.
It suddenly erupted on impact with the beast.

Erin slowed somewhat, noticing the gather crowd. She stepped through it, watching the man curiously as he swallowed a blade seemingly summoned from nowhere.

The explosion districted the coyote by launching it into a brick wall with a nasty splat. This gave Asher enough time to slip through and inside. As he stepped through the doors, the world began to grow black, and the omnipresent sound of the heart monitor began to grow louder.
Asher awoke with a scream.

The woman squealed in delight, quickly retreating from the window and tossing her weapon aside. In its place she retrieved a multi-barreled minigun, quickly vanishing into the halls with the clicking of shoes.
The sounds of skittering filled the halls behind her. Her grin faltered for the first time, and she instinctively itched her own arm, her pace quickening. The wallpaper grew out like bubbles, popping and tearing.
Reaching a stairway, she was quick to grab the railing, hoisting herself up and sliding down. She grinned, glancing upwards, only for her smile to falter again.
The skittering grew louder, echoing down the stairway behind her.
"Right, the neighbors don't like the nose." She exclaimed, quickly hopping free and beginning to hurry down the stairs quickly. "Duly noted, time to go."

The monitor began to began to beep so quickly that it sounded like a continuous drone, then suddenly snapped back to a normal pulse.
Asher's arched back fell back to the bed, his muscles relaxing and allowing him to breathe normally again. "Where..." he whispered.

Asher nodded his thanks as the doctor left. Only then did he notice the other boy sitting in the chair. He pushed himself back. "Who...?" he asked, then cleared his throat. "Who are you?"

"And now!" the man cried, sweeping off his top hat and holding out so the crowd might examine what lay within, "I shall pull something out of this hat! Is it not an ordinary hat? Gaze in it. Ah!" He suddenly drew the cap back, tipping the edge so the crowd might not see its contents. He wiggled his brows expressively. "Yet, should I put my hand within..." He did so. "And pull it out, what shall we find? Oho! A cat!' The crowd gasped as, indeed, the man pulled forth a tired looking tom. The tabby looked at the crowd listlessly until the magician put it on the ground, where it promptly began to clean itself.
One individual, who had looked ready to pass, stalled and had joined the crowd. Cecil riased a brow in surprise when the cat was produced, though for some reason he refrained from joining the crowd in applause.
