Understandably, the person she just pointed a stick at would be a little bit confused. Any normal person has no idea what in the world is going on in this town, but Britney was faaaar from normal. She nervously chuckled as she looked left and right, making sure that nobody was creeping up on her. Honestly, she would be a little confused in the same situation, fortunately, she knew just how to diffuse the situation!

"It's a... uh... long story..."

Meaning she has no idea how to explain anything to this newcomer in a way that makes any sense at all! Britney still needed to get this person out of here before they get hurt. "There's something on its way... a monster of sorts. The same thing that put me and my friends in the hospital- wait..." She trailed off, after realizing something that Charlie had said:

"I know the town has gotten crazy..."

"... What do you mean the town's gotten crazy?" Britney asked Charlie, as she remembered that, besides Scott Reese's rampage, the town was in perfect condition. Which means that the Glutton probably decided to throw subtlety out of the window and plunge the town into chaos. What reason does that thing have to be subtle? It gets stronger from emotion and so much power that nothing conventional can kill it. Which means that there are possibly armies of people he's corrupted by now. "Either way, we really have to get out of here, you gotta believe me we're gonna die!" She pleaded with Charlie.

"If you want to know how I made this, then..." Britney put both of her hands together as if she was cupping water in her hands. She created the wheat-colored energy in her hands, creating an orb in between her palms that only the Awakened can see. It was merely a test to see if Charlie had awakened.

For some reason, Kimberly didn't believe that John's dream was the only one that Rien had (going off of the "some" part). She knew that it'd be wise not to prod because she had some things that she'd... rather not go into herself. Either way, it didn't matter because they were finally back together! "It doesn't matter. At least not anymore, we need to get the hell out of here." Kimberly said with a nod of her head, as she extended her hand towards Rien. Seems the other guy left, but she wasn't really in the mood to deal with ghost boy.

"But not now-"

Justin had his reasons for not telling Zoey right at this moment, he saw that it's a very, very, bad time to drop the bomb on Zoey. Given that, from his understanding, the last thing that Zoey even remembered is Claire. Which effectively should have been a few moments ago in her head. And the fact that they don't know what's coming next - Justin would rather have everyone perform at their very peak. Of course, before he could even continue, many more people ran for the lobby.

The boy recognized them, but was afraid that they were more freaks - but one of them started talking and then Penny started shouting out all this bullshit. Zoey was completely floored, she stood silently would her jaw to the floor in a state of shock. A surge of fire erupted from Justin because of how annoyed he was at her bluntness... it quickly faded. While she definitely pissed him off, he couldn't help but agree with her. This was a deep down thought, but he knew that every word out of Penny's mouth was correct. He got reminded of that woman, who was almost always blunt and honest about her emotions, even when it was rude to do so. Justin always admired that aspect of the woman, but he knew speaking his mind all the time would prove fatal.

Though, he wondered how well Zoey was going to take this...

... Zoey breaking out of her moment of shock, grabbed Penny by the shoulders and damn near shoved her into the wall. Zoey looked the girl dead in the eye as she hissed the words, "Listen here, bitch," She hissed, "I want you to fucking tell me what happened to Claire. Right. Now." She stared Penny dead in the eye as she said this... but arcs of electricity danced across her skin as she spoke as Justin noticed a glowing mark literally appearing on her hand. It slowly faded in... did Zoey awaken?

Either way, as much as Penny is an ass, he didn't want Zoey to kill her. Especially now of all times.

"Zoey, calm down..."

Welcome to Vivid Recollections: Into The False Light, a story influenced by series such as Life is Strange, Stranger Things, It, Until Dawn, and Dead by Daylight. Though, it takes elements from Life is Strange and Dead by Daylight above all else.

Vivid Recollections will be a small town-type story set in Farmer Hill, Montana, a town built by the mountainside. To the average person, there's nothing notable about it other than its picturesque appearance. It's just a small farming community that exports crops, people go to work, kids go to school, and so on. The town has a secret like no other... and without the knowledge of many is host to some eldritch monstrosity. The story will follow a group of students that attend Grand Ridge Academy that are just living their lives when they're involved in a situation that was straight out of a horror movie. They come out of the situation with magical powers known as Abstractions and eventually come in contact with a being known as the Glutton, an eldritch God that has the power to consume all creation but is trapped in the mountain - threatening to break free of it's confinement.

After the fight with the being goes horribly wrong, the group is all knocked into a coma. The story will begin with the cast awakening in a hospital and finding out that Farmer Hill has changed a lot; people are going mad and killing each other, monsters roam the streets, and people preach about a "redeeming light". Worst of all, the Glutton is close to bringing about the end of days. Many more Awakened have been knocked into the coma, but once they Awaken they will have to face the Glutton and it's dark legion in a battle that they're not sure its possible to win.

This story will be an urban-fantasy story that will cast a certain light on "magic", while leaving it ambigious whether or not it's truly magic or not. The storyline will have elements of superpowers, horror, and more - but the story will be a very dark cosmic horror stoy. The theme of Vivid Recollections will be Memory, Emotion, Connection, and Repression. A big part of the story will be the characters having a repressed memory, or emotion, that sabotages them in some way. How they'll get over that repression, and help them connect with other people. I also want the story to be dark, and very symbolic in nature. I won't be providing clear answers to everything.

Chapter 0: Apathy

The story begins with the cast attending a simple summer-camp. Many were bunched around a fireplace, while others were helping each other in the infirmity. However, it was made clear that there was something very wrong going on at this summer-camp - there was something messing with the minds of the students. Which nearly caused a brawl when weed was passed around, and a hallucination was mistaken for the drug being spiked. After being taken away, said student (Claire) was accosted by Scott Reese, son of Sheriff Reese and general pain in the ass for the students. He demanded that he sleep with her, and when he was refused, he got violent. However, another force spoke to him and guided him deep into the woods - offering him the power to get revenge on them. After accepting the power, Scott underwent a supernatural transformation and became a hulking brute wielding an ax. After making his presence known by killing one of the teachers and a foolish student, he went on a rampage through the camp - attacking whoever he came across. The students were trapped because the bridge was destroyed, but the only way they could escape was via boat. One small group got the boats ready, while another alerted everyone to the escape plan. After everything was ready, everyone met by the docks, and Scott pursued them. The students were saved by another Awakening and stopping time to give another time to bind him.

The students escaped, and while trying to row back to shore, a large orange being appeared high up in the sky and attacked them. They were knocked unconscious by the being and appeared on the shore... having Awakened.

Chapter 1: Anticipation

All the Awakened experienced a dream of two children wandering through the woods getting attacked by a monster and being saved by men and women in robes. This child was known as John Reid when he was younger. One month later and the Awakened were slowly discovering their brand new abilities, and realizing that Farmer Hill was more than just some small town in the middle of nowhere. They were drawn to each other but there was a sense of dread among them because Awakened were being murdered by Scott Reese left and right. One Awakened, testing their ability, caused a small explosion in Grand Ridge that caused the fire alarm to go off. This caused varying situations that ended with Britney Williams to assemble the Awakened into a "support group" for survivors of the massacre.

The support group was gathered the next day at Grand Ridge after their classes and it quickly went off track. The subject quickly went towards the Awakened where Britney explained that John Reid was the "Guardian" of the town, and he left behind a book for the next generation of Awakened. A tome that that was scattered and that they needed to find, as it had all the answers - and a way to end this madness. What really caught the group's attention was the rivalry between two members of the group. When the support group was going to reach it's most violent the group was whisked away into a vision; it showed the town destroyed and littered with bodies. They were approached by an ethereal being in the shape of a child (Nicknamed the "God-Child") that warned them about a being known as "The Glutton", and told them this is what the thing will do to their town. The God-Child then showed them a vision of a group of Awakened being attacked by Scott Reese and pointed them to John Reid's farmhouse. The group broke off to help the Awakened and they managed to scare off Scott Reese and explain the situation to them.

A few hours later they all went to John Reid's farm and quickly split off into groups to investigate it, each group investigating a different part of the farm. They found nothing of note, but the situation took a turn once a strange being came and attacked the group. A brief fight took place before it noticed that somebody came home; Sharon Reid. The being went straight for her and broke her arm, and Britney killed the being, but she noticed a huge swarm of insects incoming and came to the realization that Sharon had awakened. The group was forced inside the houses while trying to find a way to get out of the situation, through careful planning they were able to disable Sharon and the insect swarm dispersed.

After a few hours, Sharon came to and the group questioned her. She was reluctant to share any information at best and downright hostile towards the group at her very worst. Through convincing, she ultimately directed them to Hillview High, where her father operated out of, according to her and they all went to the school.

Unaware of what they'll face there.

Chapter 2: Dread

Upon arriving at the abandoned school, they noticed that it was coated in near-obsessive graffiti - preaching about getting redeemed and some orange glow. The group ultimately ignored this and pressed on to where Sharon was leading them - a very special room that was covered in photographs of various people in Farmer Hill. They were accessed by their threat level and if they were too much of a threat they were "eliminated", and soon Sharon began firing accusations off towards Britney, who tried to defend herself. Once enthralled by an abstraction she admitted everything, that she was apart of a group known as the Watchers and had been manipulating the group from the beginning. Before she could reveal more, Scott Reese attacked the group, killing one of their comrades in front of them. A battle took place that ended with the death of Scott Reese by his own weapon, and in his last moments he reverted back, bawling how he was sorry and enthralled by his "Master".

And warning them that the master was coming.

Revealing itself in a glorious orange light the Glutton attacked the group, seemingly immune to all of their abstractions. So they had no choice but to flee but the moment they made it outside the Glutton trapped them in a net and killed one of their friends. They were scattered by the Glutton and some began fighting among themselves out of panic. The Glutton resumed it's rampaged and killed another member of their group, Claire, and sent them running. They all were chased outside of the school where it seemed that the Glutton had them dead to rights - however, a group of robed figures came and held the Glutton off, even giving a portal to escape from. However, the Glutton didn't like this and overwhelmed the group with a horrible sound that knocked everyone present unconscious.

As they were falling unconscious, the group were being teleported away by the God-Child, saving them from the Glutton.

It wasn't long before everyone began to speak up, as more and more of them were being teleported into the room. Some questions could easily be answered by Praxis, some... was going to take a lot more explaining. "After I am done, I will explain everything to you at a slower rate." The young hero from the Asnoga universe's question was, unfortunately, the only one ignored as the machine had very little time and too much to do. She hopes that he understands.

"Hey, are we supposed to keep this place a secret? Or even the existence of a multiverse in the first place?" she asked again. "I warn you though. No matter if I accept or not, I would still deliver this knowledge to my world. You have to erase my memories first before sending me back."

The angelic machine looked at the young alchemist for a moment, as she was scanned. The girl, Elune, was a genius alchemist in her own universe and managed to create a portal at such a ludicrously young age! However, such a question irked the android, but she answered in a surprising manner.

"You may bring knowledge of the All-verse back to your home universe, as knowing that there are other worlds out there is useless," The android simply answered as she moved over to Elune. "However, you may not bring any technology from other worlds, otherworldly knowledge that would disrupt the balance of your world, or create, or condone the creation of, anything capable of crossing worlds. If any of you are caught breaking these rules, your memory will be erased."

The machine blankly answered as she turned to android, who still looked quite on edge, despite her attempts to ease. She still believed that the inhabitants of her universe could even reach her all the way from a completely different universe. Praxis wanted to tell her the hard way that they will never find her, nor will she likely ever see them again. Worst of all, she asked an awfully specific question that Praxis couldn't answer.

"So uh...that means...this event is why our creator vanished? Only a few models in my branch have been alive since then, so I don't well...know much about that time."

The android shook her head as she decided to simply be honest, it was the best thing to do in the long run. "It's possible, but there's nothing concrete in my databanks," Praxis started off, "Your 'Goddess' could have been sucked into the All-Verse, but it's still possibly that she still exists somewhere in your home universe." She shook her head, waiting for a response.

"Worst of all, there are thousands of disruptions in the All-Verse going on as we speak, and we have a limited amount of agents available to correct them all. With more popping up around the time we correct those. So it's impossible to tell at the moment."

Next to speak was a member of the Zoololith-Korth Coalition... They were quite troublesome in her eyes, and in her opinion, she should have never let it reach this point. This point is that they have citizens and embassies on a refuge for those who have lost their home universes. However, she saw usage in them, much usage. One, in particular, would be great for her team. He asked a question that she had the perfect answer for.

'I' am Kosnitch Yovun, representative of the Zoolith-Korth Coalition. You have supposedly brought us here to form some form of team to solve things, yes? This is based on Praxis, yes? Then who am I discussing and functioing with?'

"Praxis." Was the machine's first and most vague answer. "I am Praxis, the AI inhabiting all you see here and I am the Initiative. I have been since it's creation." She said it loud and clear for everyone to understand, and would gladly say it again.

"One very important question I think we all need to know the answer to is, how different are magic and alchemy in each universe? Let's just say that I might not be able to use my skills in a world without Heroes. Then again, maybe I can think more clearly elsewhere."

"The rules for each universe are different," Praxis started off, "However, when you are in another universe, you are fed the power from your home universe, thus none of you have to ever worry about being powerless." She nodded her head before she returned to the center of the room.

"Before we continue, I have to know of your participation," Praxis said, "The All-Verse is in a constant state of peril, and the Initiative is on sort supply of agents. If you help me, you will be ensuring that your people, and your universes as a whole, are protected from the threats and imbalances that are out there. If you choose not to, you will be returned to your home universe and will be free to reconsider at any point, but even with your strength I cannot guarantee your safety."

Praxis shook her head.

"So who's with me?"

It was a mildly tense moment for them... as nobody was sure who would put their hand up first.
