Sara: The Twilight Lands

Sara stepped into the rings in one moment and then into the same exact forest the next.

It was the same forest wasn't it.

All of the trees were the same. All of the rings were there. But instead of the bright fluffy, and airy nature of the forest it was now somewhat dark and foreboding.



Sara walked slowly through the forest, the bare branches spiked into the sky - no sign of life to be found anywhere. It was so dark she was barely able to see where she was going. There were only small sounds of rustling bushes and the howl of the wind. Sara didn't know what laid in the dark forest, all she knew was that for the time being, she was alone.

And that was how she liked it. For the moment.

Setting her jaw, the girl pressed on. She was not sure what she was looking for... probably more rings?

Sara: The Twilight Lands

Sara walked through the dimly lit forest, branches and leaves crunching under foot. The forest had an earthy, peaty smell like dead plants, moss and dirt. Every thing seemed still.

There was something about this forest that was different from any other kind that Sara had walked through before.

Sara: The Twilight Lands

Whatever it was, Sara couldn't place it amid the strangeness of this new and dark environment.

Then there was a sudden sound.

Rrrrriiiickkkkkkkkk....

A creaking sound. Followed by a series of other-worldly whispers as if something had been disturbed. She had been walking for nearly 10 minutes now, the landscape the same. The forest and its trees seeming to pass by with endless infinity.


Rrrrriiiickkkkkkkkk....

The creaking and the whispering again. A chorus of whispers that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. A creaking that more than a single creak. It was as if all of the branches of all of the trees were creaking.

Sara: The Twilight Lands

Sara came to a halt. She wasn't afraid, or so she kept telling herself. This was just a dream, or something a lot like it... It may have been real but it wasn't all the way real. So, why fear it? "Who's out there?" she called out.

Sara: The Twilight Lands

A plume of black, inky smoke billowed out in front of Sara's path. Spiraling tendrils of black mist pooled together and in the center the form of a figure began to take shape. A tall, skinny woman, but Sara could only see her outline. She stood at least seven feet tall.

"Who are you?" Sara demanded. "Are you that... tattooed lady?"

Sara: The Twilight Lands

Sara spoke the words into the pooling darkness. The inky mist spread wide. There was ink floating around everywhere. Ink among the trees, ink all over Sara's clothing, ink her eyes.

The figure stepped out of the mist, revealing itself to be exactly what Sara had guessed: A Tattooed woman. Her skin was covered in red, green and black tattoos.



The look on her face was the same that someone might give a beetle: fascinated, disgusted, and ever so slightly disdainful.

Sara stepped back, then set her jaw and looked up defiantly at the figure. The ink was eerie and gave her goosebumps, but she did her best not to show it. "Do you talk?"

OOC: 05:53, Today: Evil Circus - The Tattooed Lady rolled 2 successes using 7d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s ((2,8,6,7,4,1,8)).



Sara had ran hundreds of times across the playground at school and watched thousands of kids play games of chase, but she had never seen anything move quite like the Tattooed Lady before her, never seen anyone move so quickly.

The creature lashed out with one hand and seized the side of Sara's face, arm just bolting out like some kind of snake. And just like a snake bite, Sara felt a sudden painful lance of pain shoot up the side of her face where the creature had grabbed her and into her head.


OOC: Sara Gains 'Condition' immobilized - Unable to Move. Sara suffers 2 lethal damage.

Sara let out a stifled cry. She tried to lunge, but... couldn't. "What are you doing?!"

Sara: The Twilight Lands

Sara had been lifted off the floor of the forest, feet dangling in the air. The woman's hand had been gripped onto her fact. But now, to Sara's attention, she could see that the woman's fingers were now part of her face. The tips had burrow in and there was no separation between the skin on Sara's face and the skin on the woman's tattooed hand.




"I'm just markin' you up, Darlin'."
the woman's voice responded with an easy, mild tone, like the two were walking in the park.

"I'm just goin' to mark you up real good. I'm going to give you a tattoo. That way, I'll always be able to find you. Always be able to call you." She said, as if that was supposed to mean something to Sara somehow.

"Don't you know who I am?"

Sara gasped. She tried to move again, to wriggle free. She reminded herself that this was a dream, or like a dream. But it felt all too real. "The Tattoed Lady?"

"Why yes, Darlin'."
the woman said, voice all silky and smooth.

"Now, just a little bit longer. I've got to get enough ink in you. Then we can get to work."
She said the last part 'get to work' as if it was obvious that she was going to do something to Sara.

At the same time, Sara felt a pulsing sensation in her face. It was coming from the woman's finger tips that dug deep into her skin. There was a tingling, burning feeling, radiating out from Sara's face and down here neck.

Sara looked at the lady's hands in morbid fascination, eyes darting back and forth.

Sara: The Twilight Lands

And the next moment, Sara was being dragged, the woman's arm suddenly unnaturally long, and monstrous. The Tattooed Lady pushed forward through the forest, her arm lagging behind, hand and skin attached to Sara's face.

Sara smelled the wet earth of the forest as her body was dragged behind the woman. Suddenly she was hauled up into the air and placed unceremoniously down onto a log.  The branches of the fallen log closed all around her, forming arm and leg restraints and a sort of chair.



"This is where we'll go to work. Now that the ink is in you, I need only to return with my needles and we'll make a proper and fine tattoo on your face and body." The Tattooed Lady promised. And with that she stalked off into the forest, perhaps looking for the needles.
