Chiasmata: Found Footage

>Watch the building coming closer

The building, or whatever it is, approaches. Inexorably.
The noise as it strikes the first of the rocks is tremendous.

You're Bonnie, by the way. You're pretty sure you're real, but you can't speak for the other version of yourself.

DANIEL: "Oh. Oh no."
BONNIE: "Wait, Sam and Ash aren't durable and they can't fly!"

You all watch, with a certain level of horror, as the rock fractures.

OMAR: "It's not... falling?"
BONNIE: "That's pretty strange, but at least the people on there won't fall?"
BONNIE?: "Dunno if it's weird, actually. The rocks are already floating, so why shouldn't they keep floating?"
OMAR: "That's a very good point, actually."
DANIEL: "I guess me and Clara are still stuck in the 'can't see' club, then?"
CLARA: "I think I remember having glasses. Did you?"
DANIEL: "No idea. Haven't been given my memories back spookily, remember?"

You watch a moment more, until you're sure that you see Ash and Sam moving about, safe, at least for now.









>So what is it, then?

That's the kind of very good question you have no idea how to answer.

DANIEL: "It looks big and grey and square, so maybe it's that place where we started? The Location?"
OMAR: "Did we ever leave the Location?"
DANIEL: "Is there actually an outside? That Archivist person was very confusing about some of the weird dimensional alternate-earth stuff."
BONNIE: "So this place, where we are, is a location that isn't the capital-L-Location? Maybe?"
OMAR: "That's kinda convoluted. What about the numbers? And some other symbol I don't know?
CLARA: "Mm-hmm. Those sure are some symbols I can't read from this distance."
DANIEL: "So, what's wrong with your eyes?"
CLARA: "Can you read it, though?"
DANIEL: "... no."

Clara giggles.

CLARA: "But, seriously, where do we go from here?"









>Through one of the windows

A plan occurs to you.

BONNIE: "Daniel, do you reckon you could get us up there?"

He winces.

DANIEL: "Yes? I think I could get there?"
OMAR: "Wait wait wait, I don't want the only thing between me and falling to my probable death to be Daniel's magic powers. No offense, Daniel."
DANIEL: "Some taken?"
BONNIE?: "You can carry us all at once?"
DANIEL: "Actually, I can avoid that! The rocks float on their own, so if I break off a chunk small enough to easily propel and large enough to hold us up when I need to take a break, it should be easy!"









==~>

BONNIE: "You doin' okay, Daniel?"
DANIEL: "YepI'mfineokay. Where... do you want to go?"
OMAR: "Ash made a hole down there - we should follow her and Sam, stick together."
DANIEL: "Okay... Gimme a sec, and we'll go down."









==~>

You're not sure, but this doesn't look much like the Location you've been in. Darker, for one. Less clean? There's actual dust you can see in some places, and you're only now realising that the rest of the Location had no dust at all.

OMAR: "Huh. Dark. That's strange."
BONNIE: "Yeah, I don't think this is the Location."
BONNIE?: "And where've Sam and Ash gone?"

SpoilerThis place looks fun and not at all hard to draw. An entirely different kind of ontological mystery approaches...
