(Footnote reaches a spire, one of gold and grey. It's not the main spire in the centre of the city of course, that lies much further into the gold city. Besides, going there risks being seen by the red star who lies at the centre, and no one wants that. She's died four times to that star, and every time the hallucinations have gotten worse.)

(Oh, yes, the hallucinations. Footnote is hallucinating. Has been for a while, actually. Her mind is crumbling. How sad. I suppose that's what you get when you venture into lost Carcosa, especially when its engines aren't doing so good.)

(Her mind is filled with thoughts, not good ones but certainly her thoughts. "Burn them in fire and brimstone" they say, "Slaughter the rats who fired me" they cry.)

(She enters the spire, although you wouldn't know that from looking at her. She is suddenly standing high up in the sky, facing down one of the black stars upon the yellow sky.)

(Now, the black stars are not stars, they are black holes, however Footnote does not know this. She was never exactly inclined towards space.)

(It speaks, its voice ice. Every word, even for the real Footnote, not her character, her, feels like getting a bucket of icy water poured on you.)

(It demands... Something. Not sure. It doesn't speak English, although it has a very demanding tone.)

(Oh well.)

(Footnote exits the spire, determined to relocate the dome containing a portal she entered from. Mostly because it's rather boring being in an area where all the enemies can instantly kill you, and also because of the whole Eldritch nightmare thing. She's not yet made the correlation between Carcosa and her slowly crumbling mental state, though.)

(WAHHHHHHHHHHH GET JUMPSCARED!)

H-Hey there, [[PERSON UNDESCERNABLE]]. I'm Fembaster, short for Femboy Asterisk. At least, that's what I think my name is. I keep feeling like [[FEELING UNAVAILABLE]]. C-Can you help me [[HELP GOAL INACCESSABLE]]?

(The radio comes to life.)

What? Who are you? Are you real- like am I hallucinating again?

[third-footnote]

(Ah, I see. And why are you meta who gave you meta powers. If I scream would that be a jumpscare for you. The radio that Footnote can speak through is by a weird abandoned mine, in a campsite.)

H-Hey there, [[PERSON UNDESCERNABLE]]. I'm Fembaster, short for Femboy Asterisk. At least, that's what I think my name is. I keep feeling like [[FEELING UNAVAILABLE]]. C-Can you help me [[HELP GOAL INACCESSABLE]]?

(What could happen? I'm mildly confused.)

(No there's like a radio that Footnote talks through.)

Writing this because- Well what the fuck? It's four fucking AM, I just had a knock at my door, and I mean, who fucking knocks on someone's door at this ungodly hour? I don't fucking know! Well, actually, I do, apparently it's fucking me*! I don't fucking get it.

I walked to the door, right? I wasn't going to open it, obviously, but I wanted to see who it was. And it was me. I was standing there, on the other side of my door, grinning. Knocking repeatedly, and demanding to be let in. It spoke from beneath radio static. It stared directly into the fucking camera†, I know it couldn't see me, but it was still horrifying!

So then, it just. Stops knocking. And walks away. And obviously I'm shitting myself‡, what the fuck, why was I trying to get into my own house? And then I realised something. The door was unlocked. I know I locked the door, how the Fuck with a capital F did it get unlocked? Only I know the door code!

* Not me, a doppelgänger.

† I have a camera outside my apartment door, it shows me whoever's on the other side.

‡ Not literally shitting myself.

*they are going to a lake in the middle of nowhere

*a snow storm continues to surround them blocking off most sounds from reaching her

(More static. It does not appear Footnote can respond right now.)

[third-footnote]

*its only noteable because it doesn't melt for years at a time

oh alright !

*they leave the camp site as fast as they could manage which isn't much

*the sounds of their footsteps carry for quite some time given they are constantly walking through snow

I- Are you still there? I can hear you walking. Don't go to the mine. It's dangeroUS-

(Static.)

[third-footnote]

yes i can hear you !

*the floor around where they stand is covered in snow where it wasn't before

*snow begins to fall around them

(Note that Footnote cannot see the figure, as she is currently elsewhere and speaking remotely via a radio.)

That's-

(Static. For around a minute.)

Sorry, my radio's transmissions started getting burnt again. That's good, still working both ways. Would you kindly leave my camp?

[third-footnote]

*crack*

*creak*

*CRUNCH*

*a figure wrapped in a light blue coat ascented with white snowflakes walks out from somewhere

hello ? is anybody there ?

(The radio comes to life. It is left at a campsite in a forest, not far from an old abandoned mine.)

Hello? H-

(Static.)

Hello? Can you hear me?

Footnote's in-game avatar looks like a human, but it has four huge black angel wings covered in blue human human eyes. The avatar wears a black robe dotted with light blue eyes. It has a light blue halo, torn into floating segments.

Its chest appears to have been torn open, with its insides being made of black stone. There is a single floating giant blue eye where its heart should be. Its hands are claws surrounded by black feathers. All its teeth are sharp fangs. It has long black and blue hair.

It is equipped with a giant sword made of bone.

Outside of the game Footnote is a tall sort of goth woman who dresses vaguely similar to her in-game avatar sometimes.

Usually she talks via an in-game radio, as her character is currently in a location most difficult to access for most people.
