The world as you knew it is gone! Strange white drapery like a painter would use to protect his studio lay over and twist around everything! The cloth seems to billow in unseen and erratic winds, and cruelly they sometimes part to reveal the world they were concealing isn't even there anymore. It's cloth all the way down.
All natural and artificial light is gone, and pale grey-orange light seems to come from nowhere at all, dimly illuminating this wild phantasmagoria.

The scene as stated before - Monster Richie is losing his grip on his "bros," and Albert is running into the open fields of white cloth, beneath an indistinct dull white sky of canvas. What do you do?

 Leon tries but doesn't quite manage to jerk away as the world suddenly changes. He notices the strange landscape before he sees what became of Richie - the booming voice drawing his attention up. "What the fuck is that?!" The dark-haired youth goes tense, his fingers closing in a somewhat painful grip on Zazz's hand. And then he's moving again, trying to jerk away from the monster and take Zazz with him. He doesn't exactly run, not like Albert - although he does cast a worried glance behind him as his friend disappears in the undulating folds of cloth. "Albert!" |

 Zazz sits down before the monster. He didn't have anywhere else to go. He can hear Albert crying out this and that, but it isn't clear to him. Zazz is too occupied with how uncomfortably itchy he was sitting on this canvas. Zazz gently calls up the the new Richie, "Richie (if it's still Richie) can you tell us anything more than how to feel? People have tried that with me all my life, and It doesn't generally do a lot of good. Albert over there seems to be feeling similarly." |

(I'll have to adjudicate how this plays out because your actions are slightly contradictory... Also, Zazz wasn't exactly sitting on the cloth, since he had to stand to join hands with the others, though I wasn't explicitly clear about that, they were standing to talk and I never said they sat down... But of course, there's plenty to be uncomfortable about in this world.
Of note, the flapping and rippling in the environment is highly distracting, but at least the animation of your clothes ended when the world started moving.)
First, Albert broke the circle by running off, disappearing down what may have been the equivalent of the street behind the school. Next Leon jerked free of Monster Richie's grip and began to stagger back, hoping to get Zazz away and also hoping Richie thing would somehow explain the situation in a useful way.
Zazz slipped out of his grip and sat down at the feet of the thing, throwing Leon for a loop. He was still standing nearby, torn between helping Albert and seeing how this madness played out, when the thing answered Zazz's question.
MONSTER RICHIE - (still thunderously loud vibrating through your skulls, like the voice of god)
"FEEL BLISS, ZAZZ MOST PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE TO EXPERIENCE THIS UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH BENEATH THE FORMS WE WEAR YOU CAN BECOME ENLIGHTENED LIKE ME YOU CAN BECOME CLOSER TO THE DIVINE..."

Leon flinched when the thing spoke again, wanting to cover his ears - but that would leave him vulnerable if the thing attacked. His hands balled into fists again as he lost his grip on Zazz. A part of him still wanted to run, but most of him would much rather hit something. "Feels more like hell than heaven. Where the fuck are we?!" He glared up at the thing that used to be Richie, trying to keep himself from flinching again. |

It was hard to glare at it with no apparent eyes to engage, but Leon manages... it's hard to contain the animal terror that comes from seeing what you once thought was the solid, stable flesh of your species erupt into... whatever this is.
Monster Richie-
"IT'S TRUE, HEAVEN AIN'T REAL, BUT NEITHER ARE WE HERE YOU ARE A SCRAP OF NOTHING IN A SEA OF TRUTH HERE YOU CAN DISCOVER THE PAIN AND ECSTACY OF KNOWING TAKE ADVANTAGE DUDE"

"The fuck does that mean, we ain't real? I feel pretty damn real." Leon didn't like the sound of that, and he frowned, glancing down at Zazz. He wasn't sure where to look on Richie - it was also he could do not to shudder. He glanced behind himself again at the shapeless walls of cloth. "Should we go after Albert?" Leon was a bit worried, but it seemed like a futile endeavor - the landscape was disorienting. Albert would be able to take care of himself, wouldn't he? His gaze flicked back up to the monster. "This place, it ain't dangerous, is it? It's just... a trip, right? You 'opened our eyes' or whatever, but this is the same place, right? So, it's safe right?" |

The smell of band-aids and illness hung in the air.
Richie Monster-
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM A SIMPLE HALLUCINATION YOU'RE REALLY HERE THIS WORLD IS DANGEROUS TO THE UNINITIATED THIS WORLD TRIES THE SOUL ALBERT SHOULD HAVE STAYED CATS THAT PLAY IN TRAFFIC GET HIT BY CARS"
Leon heard a car's engine, incongruously, amid the fluttering and flapping of the weird world. Looking toward what passed for the street, he saw a cloth covered car shape driving angrily over the clots of cloth like they were sand dunes.

"But you invited us here! You said you'd help!" Monster Richie-
"I AM HELPING STAY WITH ME AND YOU WILL NOT BE HARMED RUN INTO THE WORLD ALONE AND YOU WILL BE TRIED" Leon's lips curled back in a snarl and he whipped around toward the sound of the engine roaring. What Richie said made sense - the place was disorienting, and Albert didn't know what to look out for... "Fuck! I'm going after him! I'll try ta bring him back here, if I can." He turned to glare up at Richie again, then flicked his eyes to Zazz. "You bastards'll still be here, right?" He waited at least long enough for Richie to answer, before heading off in the direction Albert had bolted - wary of any large, moving cloth-shapes. That there must be the street, so he should avoid it, and that way should be the school... Hm. "YOU WON'T BE BACK GOOD LUCK" |

Albert ran away from the school - in the direction that car had been headed, really. Leon ran with some difficulty over the uncanny dreamscape. Fortunately, the ground here was as open as it could be in this world, and he could leap over most obstacles.
When he reached the street, he heard more engine noises, and whipped his head this way and that. The car that had gone Albert's way was jammed in the front of a large cloth-covered structure, and was making metal-tearing shrieking noises, throwing sparks that singed the cloth. The make of the car was impossible to tell, and indeed it seemed less mechanical and more animal at this range.
Coming the other way down the street, another car seemed to be angling itself toward him.

Even if he had a general idea of where he was going, the cloth landscape was still disorienting. He was wary of the cars - if they were cars. Had that one got in a wreck, then? It was rammed into a... sheet that must have been a building. Maybe they weren't cars - it almost sounded like an animal growling. Leon was still considering the stuck 'car' when the other car appeared at the end of the 'street' - zooming straight at Leon. He didn't notice it right away, but when he did a rather vehement stream of expletives passed his lips as he bolted - shit! Was there something he could climb up somewhere?! Or maybe someplace he could hide?! |

Unbelievably, he tripped! He didn't fall, but was tangled in the cloth just long enough to get hit! Full on!
He flew through the air like a rag doll. Before he hit the ground, he felt a switch turn in his stomach and he let out a stream of vomit in a white arc in the sky.

END SCENE!
Kristi if you come back, we'll assume Zazz had a conversation with Richie or didn't, the drug wore off, and he went home or whatever. Check the OOC thread for details on posting in the new chapter - not yet but very soon.
