Behind Closed Doors [Fantasy, Semi-Lit] *Not Accepting*

Ryley sighed, once more confused by the maze of the warehouse-type place. The voices were nothing more than soft breezes to his ears, and he had thus decided he had gone in a complete opposite direction, or he was going crazy. At that moment, he was believing the latter. A door appeared in front of him and, out of mere curiosity and boredom, he tested the door. He found it unlocked, yet it led into the room he had started within. "This place makes no sense," he growled in frustration, slamming the door shut as he turned to go another way.

He dragged his feet against the floor, his head still throbbing but, whether it was from an injury or a hangover he had no idea. He ran a hand through his scruffy hair, turning down hall after hall until he heard the voices once again. "I'm going mad," he muttered to himself, yet his brain happened to instinctively carry him towards the noises. Afterall, it didn't hurt to check. As he made his way down one hall, he came across a figure slouched against the wall, and several other voices that sounded around the corner. Maybe I'm not crazy, then, he thought quietly, his pace slightly quickening. Unless they're ghosts, argued his brain. Well, ghosts should know the way out, Ryley informed his brain, before deciding he was at least partially mad, arguing with himself.

Kat's eyelids fluttered open and she let out a soft groan, as the pain that she had accumalated in the night reached her. Her back ached and when she sat up, she heard her neck click. But soon her pain was the least of her worries. "What the...?" she muttered looking around her. She was not where she had fallen asleep...but then again she had been at a party last night and had been drinking, although she was sure she had managed to get back to her house before she collapsed onto a sofa. It might not have been hers but she was pretty sure she had arrived at her small country cottage. She stood and her eyes travelled around the cavernous, empty room. Strange... she thought There's nowhere in AshWood village like this! and Kat knew everywhere in AshWood; it was the first place she'd ever felt loved and as if she had a home. Then she spotted a door and she quickly jogged over. Trying it, it swung open but what she saw there made her mouth drop.

A huge room with many hallways leading off, with doors lining every inch on them. Then a new thought came into her head. What if...it's a dream? she shuddered, for she hated her dreams and it was one of her weaknesses. All the same she started down a hall and soon found she heard voices. "Hello? Anyone there?" she called, her cute british accent clearly showing as she looked down the hall. On instinct she tugged on a handle of a red door, but only to find it locked. After trying some other doors to get the same result she frowned and bent down to look through a keyhole. Her eyes widened in shock and she stumbled backwards slightly, standing and staring at the door as if it was impossible for a moment, before shaking her head knowing that what she had just seen could only be true in a dreamworld.

But then she saw a figure come round a corner and she waved nervously. "Hello?" she called again, hoping he was in the same situation as her and not completely mean or...well, weird.

[She has seen Ryley ^.^]

Ryley lifted his head at the new voice. It had been close, very close. It only took a moment for him to scan down the hall before he spotted where the voice had come from. A girl...but she seemed just as lost as he was. But at least he had proved to his brain that he was completely mad walking around searching for unknown voices. "Uh, hey," he greated, or it was half a greating, as he neared her. The tone of his voice betrayed his unsurity and nervousness of the situation. "Do you have any idea what's going on?" He asked, deciding to get straight to the point. "Or at least a way out?"

Ryley glanced up and down the corridor, feeling rather odd standing around, lost in what he could only describe as a labyrinth, talking to a stranger. In his head he had concluded that this was all the doing of some drunken night or a very vivid halucination. It seemed unlikely, really, but there weren't many other possibilities. He had fallen asleep in England, but this place was nothing like England. He had never seen anything like it. Well, if it is a Labyrinth, let's just hope there isn't a minatour at the end, he thought, slightly metaphorically.

Username: puppyeyez94
Character's name: Adam Valex
Age: 18 almost 19
Gender: Male

Personality:
Because of the experience of his father leaving their family at an young age, he's had a couple of trust and anxiety issues that he is still struggling from. Adam is a little bit wary of strangers, but once he gets to know them, he is out-going and friendly. He is also a very down-to-earth guy, but can have a bit of a temper, so you would want to stay on his good side. The 19 year old can be a bit of a risky daredevil, loving the adrenaline and adventure. Adam can be very loyal to his family and loved ones, but he speaks up for himself even though it means offending those he cares about the most.

History:
His mother is a well-known artist and her father is an author and studies animals for a living. Adam is the second child of four children; Kourtney, his 21 year old sister, Luka, his 14 year old brother, and Rynn, his eleven year old sister. Despite being an upper-class citizen, he's had a rough childhood. Adam's father left his family when he was nine, but later realized what a big mistake he has made by leaving. His mother already had a boyfriend by the time her father came back, and he found it very hard to trust him again. Her father pried his way back into their lives, and then his mother broke up with her boyfriend. Their parents remarried each other, but that whole experience has left a huge impact on the four kids. While their father was away, their mother was like a zombie- she would care for their natural needs, but was mentally far away from them. So Kourtney and Adam had to help take care of their two younger siblings, especially Rynn since she was only four when their father left them, but thankfully Luka was sort of old enough to help out with Rynn, since he was 7.

Strengths and Likes:
He is very good at making friends and seems to attract people with his charm and good looks, which is helping with his anxiety and trust issues. He also speaks up for himself and for others which can be both good and bad, and is very loyal to those he's close to. Adam has always been very fond of the arts, and even has a talent of drawing, acting, and making music. He also loves animals thanks to his father, and wants to help them.

Weaknesses and Dislikes:
Adam has a bad temper when he gets angry,, and angers quickly, especially when he feels like someone has betrayed him. He has a one-track mind, often acting before thinking. He speaks up for himself even though it means offending others. He also hates the heat, but loves tanning interestingly.

(If Adam's accepted, Isi has a crush on him..)

Isi turned a corner and found another door that was locked. She cursed, "D**nit, why are all the fricken doors locked!?" She rattled the handle and shoved the door, but it wouldn't budge. Sighing angrily, Isi kicked the door and continued walking, quite p*ssed that she had no clue where she was and why all the doors were locked. Isi wandered through the halls aimlessly, looking for other people, if there were any. She heard voices and stayed near enough to hear them, but out of eyesight, checking to make sure her father's gun was still in the back of her jeans.

Nick slid down the wall, wondering where the h**l he was, just like everyone else. Except, he didn't know there were other people, and he had no clue how to find them. Twisting the ring on his finger, Nick thought about yesterday. He'd been walking home from practice when someone grabbed him and knocked him out, after that, he couldn't remember. Suddenly, Nick heard voices, and followed the noise. Rounding a corner, he saw two people, "Oh wow, thank God there are other people here," clapping his hands together, he asked, "So, what the h**lis going on?!

((Everyone's waking up and wandering around the warehouse. Morgan and Simon have found each other, as have Ryley and Kat. Anyone else who's together has stumbled into a big room. I'm pretty sure that's Cole, Chase, Cathy, and Eden. Everyone else who's posted is still alone.))

(Thanks.)

Zara groaned, sitting up painfully. Her head ached, making her nauseous. She swayed, clutching her head slightly, trying to rid herself of the tunnel vision. Finally her head cleared, leaving only a dull pain that made her sick. As she looked around she saw a room of an old warehouse.

Standing, she stumbled, remembering nothing of how she got here. She groaned again, clutching a table to steady herself as she walked forward into the unknown. Blinking back her own mental illness she wondered from her place of refuge into the darkness of knowing beyond.

Her hazel eyes flashed open as she heard someone approaching. She looked up to see a young boy, well he was older than she, but not quite adult-looking. Slowly, she stood, leaning heavily against the wall. She thought that he was going to come talk to her, but he turned at the last second. Her brow creased in confusion. Was he real? Could he have been a ghost? Eden shook her head to clear her thoughts. Of course he wasn't a ghost. Ghosts weren't real.

Eden turned and walked the direction she had come. Then she noticed the doors. They were everywhere. How hadn't she seen them before? Cautiously, she approached one. With a shaky hand, she reached out and turned the knob. It was locked. She moved to the next, and then the next...and the next. All locked. She kicked one of the doors in frustration, letting out a small grunt.

Giving up, she returned to her spot against the wall. She peered into the room to see if the others were still there. None of them had moved an inch. She listened to what they were saying. She wasn't trying to eavesdrop...Okay, maybe she was.

Isi saw another hallway and cautiously tread down it, hoping to find some more people. Reaching for her father's gun, Isi brought it to her side, walking with it like they do in movies and stuff. Her gray eyes flicked back and forth, constantly looking for something or someone. She turned yet another corner and stepped into the large room. Isi, taking cover immediately behind another wall like her father taught her, she looked around the corner, surveying everything and everyone in that room. Isi closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her finger moving to cock the gun. Her instincts were the only thing controlling her now since she had no clue where she was and why she was there. She cocked the gun carefully and as quietly as she could but kept it by her side, like in the movies. Isi looked around the corner again, taking another deep breath. Her mind was racing furiously, trying to decide what to do, how to do it, or if she should just wing it like always. She decided to wing it and waited for anyone in the room to make a move or something.
