Where kindness was forgotten | Open
WHO: Cole and anyone game to deal with him
WHAT: Cole goes exploring underwater and doesn't like what he finds
WHEN: Early/mid January
WHERE: The flooded corridor or elsewhere in Anchor
WARNINGS: Cole. Probably distressing topics, will warn as necessary.
Cole didn't tell anyone he was going exploring. He explores all the time, but there's a new bit to explore and people are forgetting, and not like he makes people forget, to smooth over bad moments, but forgetting and having themselves reshaped by it.
He goes down under the water, not breathing because he doesn't really need to. He goes down the end to begin with, where others have been and are going and he drifts about, increasingly uncomfortable with what he finds there, with the trembles and quiet reshaped by those things.
In the search for answers, he picks a door and goes inside, thinking his way to the other side and into stale air and memories.
Minutes later, Cole appears in a burst of smoke and hoarfrost that spirals from his feet. He exists for a moment, already running, wet and covered in a fine layer of freezing water that cracks and falls as he runs.
He doesn't know where he runs. He moves with thought and without it, real one moment, smoke another.
He eventually calms. Whether anyone finds him before that or after that is to fate.
