[IC] When looking for lost ancestors...

[oztensibly]

[wandering around in his own head]

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Where did you go?

[there is the familiar expanse of emptiness and the sound of water dripping in the distance, otherwise the space seems vastly, echoingly silent]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Ahh, why is he hiding... Jaaaaaaaaaaaack!

[continues to wander]

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[more emptiness! oh wait -- is that a shape in the distance?]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[uho]

Jack!

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[and yet no matter how far you walk, the object seems to stay the same distance away]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[stamps his foot]

Stop that!

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[a particularly pronounced water drop then utter silence]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

This place is mine. If you insist on behaving like an errant child, I will treat you as such.

[your brainspace is lovely dark and deep with miles to go before you find Jack o/]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

A hundred years and he acts like he's twelve...

Jack! I said come out!

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[that object is suddenly a lot closer, and you actually seem to be moving swiftly towards it -- much faster than walking could account for]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Jack?

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[there is a platform of rock with a rectangular object at the far side -- do you investigate?]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[ Do nothing

> Investigate ]

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[as you step onto the platform and move closer to the object, you may see a shape in it walking back towards you]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

Jack...?

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[the figure doesn't reply, it's shadowy though, indistinct and the mirror itself seems old and worn almost tarnished]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[reaches out to touch it]

... Jack...

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[your hand passes into the glass and something latches onto your wrist, pulling you deeper in]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

A-Ah--!

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[it is pulling you in |)]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[struggling to pull himself out]

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[up to your shoulder now]

[oztensibly.livejournal.com]

[fuuuck]

[precedent-hero.livejournal.com]

[pulling your head in now -- once your ear passes inside, you might hear a very very familiar song being played softly in the distance]
