> Lucia: Find a scarf or rip a piece of fabric from your blankets/sheet so you can keep your new night vision on constantly.

>Lucia: This is a world building practice, right? Make something, whatever you want as long as it's simple.

>Lucia: Attempt to make a perfectly generic object.

Lucia: look at how the Ira in the beast mark in your door is asleep, isn't that cute?



You examine the mark that Ira had drawn. Its Ira sleeping. This won't do! You need her awake...



Suddenly there's loud banging on your door, it startles you to shut your eyes harder since you can't see well otherwise.

???: May we be of service?
???: May we be of service?
Lucia: Who's out there?!
???: How can we help you??
???: Let us serve you.
Lucia: .... Answer my question first.
???: We only wish you help.
???: Allow us entry.

You're not sure what to do now.

>Lucia: Prepare for a fight

>Lucia: Demand that they help you by explaining themselves.

>Lucia: If they wish to help and serve, shouldn't they be listening to you? There might be more at play, but maybe you should conjure something to help you before opening your door to suspicious voices.

>Lucia: Is there a way to see through the door or at least what is on the other side? If not, then ask them to identify themselves and why they are here, which would help you in determining who are you allies and enemies.

Lucia: Demand that they help you by explaining themselves



You demand them to reply to you but instead the banging on the door becomes louder...

???: LET US IN!
???: WE WISH TO SERVE YOU!
???: LET US IN!
Lucia: N-no! Go away!!
???: WE MUST SERVE YOU, LET US IN!!
???: THERE IS NOTHING FOR US HERE, PLEASE!!
Lucia: No!!

With the banging growing fierce, whatever is out there will soon be inside, your fear increasing has lowered the effectiveness of your night sight. Fear is a crippling thing in here it seems, and whatever is out there can smell it.

>Lucia: Tell them to stop banging on your door! What kind of servant destroys their master's property? They can come in and serve you when they behave. Be assertive, these things obviously think you're their master, and they are desperate to help you.

>Lucia:Whatever this thing is it's full of shit about helping you. Get a weapon to teach it a lesson.

Seconding... and if that fails, we still have the Fort under the bed.

Lucia: HEEL!
???: ...
???: ...
Lucia: You will state your names this instant.
???: ... W-we are the servants of the Pitch black, we have no names.
Lucia: What use do I have of you?
Pitch Black Servant: .... We are but an extension of your will, Madam.
Lucia: ... What was the meaning of that excessive banging.
Pitch Black Servant: W-we were only trying to stress out importance... Forgive us.
Lucia: Very well. You may enter.

Two towering shadowy figures enter your room, you soon realize you could see with your eyes open, but not for very long...

Lucia: Whoa....
Pitch Black Servant: Please Madam, give us your command.
Pitch Black Servant: We are yours to control.
Lucia: .... Uhh, what the heck?
Pitch Black Servant: Are you confused, Madam?
Lucia: Hell yes, what the heck is all this?
Pitch Black Servant: ....?? Are you not well? Don't you know where you are?
Lucia: No!
Pitch Black Servant: Ahh, then let us remind you.
Pitch Black Servant: You are in the Pitch Black. This is your asylum.
Pitch Black Servant: We sought you out as soon as we spawned, Madam.
Pitch Black Servant: Yours to do with as you wish...
Lucia: But you didn't sound so friendly before...
Pitch Black Servant: It was... a sour part of our nature, you must understand...
Pitch Black Servant: It won't happen again.
Lucia: Good.

You are now accompanied by two servants. The more servants in your command, the stronger you'll become.

>Lucia: ask them if they know where ira is. If they really want to do something while they talk, they can clean the room a bit.

First of all, name your loyal servants of the shadows.

I vote Mortadelo (for the one eyed one) and Filemón (the three eyed one)

Seconding these two, but will merge them together.

If they do, then name the one with a single eye “Mortadelo” and the three eyed one “Filemón”. If not, then ask if theres a way to individually address them, to avoid confusion.

Seconding this.
Good edit :)

>Lucia: ask then if they know where Ira is, if not then have then help you search

>Lucia: Your servants' first task will be to lead you to Ira.

> Lucia: Ask your servants what the Pitch Black is, if they know where Ira is, and what it means to be an extension of your will.

Important thing here is to not show weakness in front of these types. I don't like the difference between their earlier acting and the current. Anything that can switch that fast can't be trusted as to what its true behavior is.

If they serve her for now that's good, but let's not give them a reason to turn on Lucia while her back's turned.

Lucia: I'm looking for my friend Ira, can you help??
Pitch Black Servant: Yes we know of Ira, she is what we are.
Pitch Black Servant: ... In its most basic sense.
Lucia: What?
Pitch Black Servant: Extensions of yourself.
Lucia: We're just going around in circles with this aren't we? -sigh-
Lucia: Well can I name you?
Pitch Black Servant: We are not separate, Madam.
Pitch Black Servant: I as well as it, as well as Ira are all the same consciousness.
Pitch Black Servant: If you think about it, you've already found me. ouo
Pitch Black Servant: But we're lost in a sea of aimlessness. Your guidance is needed or else we'll cave to our base desires.
Pitch Black Servant: That is... to wreak havoc.
Lucia: .......
Lucia: So you can hear me, Ira?
Pitch Black Servant: Yes, Ms. Lucia.
Lucia: Lead me to you then!
Pitch Black Servant: It's not so easy... I identify with the servants as one.
Pitch Black Servant: To me, I'm already with you...
Pitch Black Servant: It'll be up to you to find wherever I seem to be sleeping...
Lucia: Dammit, this couldn't just be easy couldn't it??
Pitch Black Servant: I'm afraid not.
Lucia: Well in any case, my dusty ass room is such an eye sore, think you guys can take care of that?
Pitch Black Servant: Oh with pleasure!

The two servants scrub the room from head to toe with what seems to be a cloth made of their own shadow form. It's looking better already!

Lucia: Ira, how do I control one or the other of these guys?
Pitch Black Servant: It's like moving your fingers, Ms. Lucia.
Pitch Black Servant: Although each finger is different you can move each one separately if you wish to.
Pitch Black Servant: You don't even need to speak to them.
Lucia: .... I don't feel them though. To me they're as separate as another person.
Pitch Black Servant: You will understand better while you're here, don't worry.
Pitch Black Servant: Shall we continue?
Lucia: Okay!

As you exit your house you immediately notice that the realm has taken on a new look entirely...

Lucia: Okay, what the heck is all this?!
Pitch Black Servant: This is the Pitch Black. It is nothing you have known before it seems.
Pitch Black Servant: This will be a brand new adventure, one wrought with danger though.
Lucia: Whoa, what? Danger from monsters?
Pitch Black Servant: Not quite....
Pitch Black Servant: There are rogue servants wandering about... searching for command.
Pitch Black Servant: Because you are not the part of you that has created the Pitch Black they are disconnected and need to be reminded of their master.
Pitch Black Servant: That's you.
Lucia: Okay...
Pitch Black Servant: If they confront you, they'll try and kill you unless you can remind them that they are your servants.
Pitch Black Servant: The deeper you go in your search, the more disconnected they'll be.
Pitch Black Servant: And the more convincing your reminder needs to be.
Pitch Black Servant: The more servants in your command, they more convincing your reminders will be.
Lucia: Ahh, so I gotta collect them all!
Pitch Black Servant: Perhaps not all, but enough until you can find me.
Pitch Black Servant: This is what I understand of it.
Lucia: I guess that's pretty helpful. So where should I go first?
Pitch Black Servant: There is only one way to go. Down.
Lucia: Looks scary...
Pitch Black Servant: Fear will be your death Ms. Lucia, Please remember this!
Pitch Black Servant: If you get too frightened, a servant may rebel against your command...
Lucia: Oh shit...
Pitch Black Servant: It may lead to a chain reaction and even cause a mutiny. So be your bravest self in here, even if you are scared do not show them.
Lucia: I-i'll try my best...

Although your asylum is named Pitch Black, you can actually see fine on the outside, the environment appears to be mostly black with sketchy looking objects of monotone grays and there are creepy ass eyes staring at you from seemingly every direction... You have no idea what to make of any of this new information or if you will be able to rescue Ira or not...

>Lucia: Take a deep breath, summon all your courage, and head down those spiraling stairs.

>Lucia: You'll definitely be able to rescue Ira, just not as you are now. Accept that saving Ira is currently, but not eternally, beyond you, and focus on correcting that. Practice controlling the servants now, before you run into anymore of them. Once you've mastered that, heed Ira's advice, and head down into the depths and remind your wayward servants who's boss.
