⠀ 【 Ink coalesces on pages, spelling out a query: 】 “ ᵈᵉᵖᵉⁿᵈˢ ᵒⁿ ʷʰᵃᵗ? ” ⠀
⠀ 【 And yet the winds do whisper, as if carrying a message from mouth to ear. 】 【 Nothing concrete. No intelligible meaning. They may not even be there at all, merely a product of paranoia... 】 【 Yet the dim yellow glow ahead would suggest otherwise. 】 ⠀
[ it feels like needles — no, something more subtle. a cold draft — prickling against his nape. he touches it, and as soon as his hand lifts, it ebbs its way back. ] [ where is this coming from? he’s alone. he /has/ to be. ]

⠀ 【 In all truth, it may as well be. The bodies that have fallen in the wake of either ancient horror are countless, undoubtedly — combined, the number would be beyond horrifying. 】 “ ˢᵘᶜʰ ⁱˢ ᵗʰᵉ ʷᵃʸ ᵒᶠ ʰⁱᵍʰᵉʳ ᵇᵉⁱⁿᵍˢ. ” 【 Page space has run out. 】 ⠀

⠀ 【 Pages shuffle as if blown by the wind, only settling when empty page space is visible. New words are scrawled in fresh ink by an invisible pen.】 “ ⁿᵒᵗʰⁱⁿᵍ ⁱˢ ᵒᵘᵗˢⁱᵈᵉ ᶜᵃʳᶜᵒˢᵃ'ˢ ʳᵉᵃᶜʰ. ᵃˡˡ ⁱˢ ᵐʸ ᵏⁱⁿᵍᵈᵒᵐ. ” ⠀

🇨 🇴 🇲 🇵 🇪 🇹 🇮 🇹 🇮 🇴 🇳 The word is spelled out with the limbs of those who have read that dreaded play. The bleeding arms make the manuscripts wet.

rain i would not ask this guy a DAMN thing i wanna keep my sanity thank you very much
OOC QUESTION If you could ask your muse a single question that they will answer honestly, what would you ask them?
⠀ 【 Smoldering manuscripts in a heap spew black smoke into the sky. The remnants of the great work bearing his name are turned to ash, and the words - those wretched words - are sent beyond the Heavens to disappate and disappear, such that they may never be read again. 】 ⠀

⠀ 【 A gate has opened. 】 【 A small, ripped piece of paper with the Yellow Sign carefully drawn upon its surface floats out of it. 】 ⠀
⠀ 【 There's a manuscript here. 】 【 Frantically scrawled upon aged, yellowed paper. 】 【 Strange symbols and splotches of what looks like ink dot the margins. 】 【 It speaks of a pallid mask and a strange land where black stars hang in the sky. 】 【 It feels strange to look at. 】 ⠀
