Snow falls at Rosewood University in dry flakes, melting and disappearing into the dirt. The plants and bushes transformed from their rich lush green into a tangled brown bracken, and the trees resemble giant skeletal hands clawing from the ground. A heavy fog permeates campus and makes it difficult to see much further than a few feet ahead.

Head straight back into the building and call faculty services.

Yea, go back in and use the various communications infrastructure based devices you have access to, to signal for aid. If one doesn't work, methodically work your way through others. You have TOTALLY seen this movie before.

A little snow and fog never hurt anyone. Who knows the campus well enough to find the clinic like this though?

Tell marshall you're glad you are not the only one seeing this.

Call out into the void to see if anyone is out there.

"Oof..." Sherb says. "This isn't right at all. That's some really thick fog too..."

"Maybe there's a short-cut through the building we can take, or some faculty member can help us." Marshal suggests. When Marshal turns around to go back inside however, the doors are stuck. "It's locked!"

"But we just got out!" Sherb cries. He and Cookie instinctively push the doors, but they won't budge.

"I'll call Kiki!" Cookie says. "She can help us!" Good thing the two of them were already BFFs before this happened, because Cookie forgot to ask the phone numbers of everyone else in the literature club. She puts the phone on Speaker so she and the boys can hear.

"Hello?" Kiki asks.

>>1006511
Ask her if she's seeing this crazy fog. You're kinda worried about getting lost if you try to walk around in it, can she help you out? Maybe she can look up some campus numbers for you to call? Like... campus police? Campus police are supposed to escort you if you feel threatened.

Check the GPS on your phone

Well, if you can't get help or use the GPS, everyone's gonna have to stick together to make sure nobody gets separated. Then follow the paths. Your university has paths between buildings, right?

Does your university have those lit, hard-wired poles where you can press a button to call for aid from Campus Police for any reason? Go on the largest, most well-marked paths to the nearest of those.

"Wait, did Kiki say she just got home?" Sherb asks. "But she can't have left the building that quickly already! This is starting to creep me out..."

Cookie tries the GPS and thankfully it seems to be in working order. Nothing looks out of the ordinary.

"I don't think we should go to the clinic anymore." Marshal says. "It's obvious there's something wrong going on here, and maybe we should just get back to our dorms."

"It doesn't explain the weird noises you and Cookie heard though." Sherb replies. "I don't feel comfortable going to my dorm alone... I think we should at least get to the bottom of this."

Cookie thinks about it. Getting separated would be a bad idea with all this fog around; maybe they can use the GPS to get back to one of their dorms and have the other two stay as guests. But maybe they should still see the clinic after all... or there could be some other place they could go to instead.

Well shit I guess you're stuck in Silent Hill huh?
No reason to go to the Clinic right now. Head to either the Dorms or the Campus Police.

I get the feeling we should go to the clinic anyway. That was our planned destination in the first place.

Whatever you plan to do, be sure to take everything that isn't nailed down. You can return it after you're sure you're not in a horror movie.

Go to your dorms. They are familiar, which means you already know the entrances, exits, and where all the good stuff is.

"We can go to my place!" Cookie suggests. "It's a little small, but it should be enough to hold the three of us! That way, no one has to be alone."

The boys agree this would be a good idea and walk beside Cookie as she holds her phone out. Before she sets out however, she takes a good look at her INVENTORY:

Cookie has a SPARKLY BLUE NOTEBOOK, a MATCHING GEL-POINT PEN, her LAPTOP, her CELLPHONE, and ONE CHOCOLATE BAR.

She takes note of her surroundings as they clear into view in the fog. There's an old giant tree bare of leaves and large sprawling roots swimming out of the ground. Closeby is a Frita's, a fast-food joint usually bustling with hungry students. The window is opaque and shows only darkness.

Cookie puts her phone on flashlight mode and shines it on the Frita's window. No dice. The inside is as dark as ever.

The flashlight does reveal a Happy Meal on the window sill though. It's a plastic otter holding a scallop shell on top of a blue wave, and it runs on wheels.

Despite no wind and being perfectly balanced on the sill, the toy falls down. A thin wisp of smoke rises from the shell, smelling like plastic.

Cookie picks up a stick and cautiously pokes the toy with it. No more smoke comes out, so Cookie picks it up and adds it to her inventory. You never know what might come in handy.

With the help of her phone, Cookie is finally able to lead Sherb and Marshal to her dormitory. The doors are unlocked, but relief gives way to confusion. Where is everybody? What happened to the lights? Why is it so cold?

To the left of Cookie is a set of steel lockers and a hallway that leads to an old-fashioned elevator with a door like an iron gate. A crystal chandelier hangs above in the middle of the room, and in front of Cookie is a table and a painting. To the right is a hallway leading toward the stairs.

Examine the painting, but don't stand under the chandelier.

Cookie walks around the chandelier to get to the painting on the other side of the room. It depicts two polar bears tearing apart what remains of a shipwreck stranded in a glacier. The sails are soaked, moldy, and bloody, and one of the polar bears is chewing on the remains of an old ribcage. A sort of musket lies forgotten in the snow.

There's a slab beneath the painting that reads, "Man Proposes, God Disposes - Edwin Landseer, 1864"

"Is it me, or is there something sticking out of that painting?" Marshal wonders. "It's creeping me out."

Cookie holds her cellphone up to the painting to make sure. There's a small glint in between the second polar bear's teeth... it turns out it's a LARGE KEY. Cookie takes it.

"Um... Cookie, what floor is your room at?" Sherb asks.

"Third floor! We can easily take the elevator to..." Cookie's voice trails off. The elevator probably wouldn't be working. Would it?

We can always check.

Before Cookie had time to react, the shadow in the elevator lunges for her and tries to drag her in. She grabs part of the gate in time before being pulled in, and her free arm reaches through a newly transparent space. She screams to the shocked boys for help.

Cookie squeezes her eyes shut and screams once more. She lands somewhere with an odd crumpling sound. What she sees defies explanation: everything around her except herself looks like a children's crayon drawing, from the bright sky around her to the grass scribbled at her feet. There are darker green splotches that look like bushes, with red things attaching to them that must be... flowers? Berries? What is this place? What on earth is happening?

Afterlife? Heaven? Reincarnated in a drawing?

Well, stop and smell the flowers then Go pluck one and put it in your inventory.

Cookies hopes she's not dead! There's still so much she wants to do! Besides, she's got to look for her friends. Which... would require finding a way out of here first. She stands up and dusts off her dress.

She picks one of the red "flowers" off a "bush." Ouch! It's like getting a bunch of paper cuts on her hand. The petals fall apart like tissue paper and blow away from her hand.

There's a dark blue blotch ahead that resembles a lake. The gray stuff around it seems to be stone flooring for a garden, and the odd shapes around it and the lake look like statues.

Go swimming in lake

Be careful. Things here are not as they appear.
Get a closer look at one of the statues.

Cookie approaches the lake and the gray crayon blotches become clearer. She enters a stone garden full of statues: the biggest one is an angel statue with humongous wings missing a head. Another statue is a sad woman cradling the body of a headless man. In the middle of the garden is a sundial.

i guess that if we only find one head, then we gotta make a decision on who we gonna give the head too, the real question being how will this affect the future.

The shuffling and rumbling summons a strange hiss surrounding the garden. As though materializing out of thin air, little crayon creatures swivel toward Cookie carrying what looks like a long... stick? Spear? Spike? Their bodies are crafted out of steel wool with mitochondrial strings forming a heart. Their heads are made of soot, and swirling within their gaseous cranium is some sort of dark wiggly red fluid. Their hissing crackles like television static.

They want her dead.

We still gotta find the angel head. Unless the solution is to rest our chin where the head of the angel should be to make them think Cookie died and became an angel, I suggest running away. Maybe run in the direction where the sundial is pointing.

Once we get away, we should investigate this stone area later for anything that changed since we heard the sound of stone rumbling.

There's a gory mess beneath the chandelier; something that had once been a person. As a mouse (judging by their tattered ears and tail), their body is naturally small, so they couldn't have withstood the impact of a falling chandelier. Shards are embedded in their back, penetrating as deep as their spine. Their eyes are glazed with shock, their mouth frozen open in their final gasp as bloody saliva trickles from the corner of their mouth. Their arms are sliced up from the glass, ribbons of blood soaking into their fur. Maybe it was a student Cookie had seen once or twice on campus... but now she would never know, because however they arrived into this version of their school, they met with a horrible fate.

There's... nothing left to save.
So, make sure he's dead in this screwed-up zombie flick.

Take a picture of his dead corpse as proof, then search the body for an ID. His next-of-kin need to know.

Then rip the body apart so whoever tries to make an attack zombie out of this corpse will be sorely disappointed.

Maybe don't mess with the dead body too much, you've got to maintain your sanity. Also your friends would be kindof worried if you show up with blood all over yourself.
Don't you still have your cellphone? Try calling someone.

Since there's something out there which can animate corpses, it likely has the means to deal with... reasonably large amounts of damage to the bodies. And things like the butchering industry and history let us know that you need EXTREMELY specialized tools to easily and quickly dismember or decapitate or whatever large bodies.

Cookie tears her eyes away from the body. It's her first time seeing a corpse outside the news and various media, and even if she wasn't nauseated and terrified to the pit of her stomach, there isn't anything useful she could've done. The mouse carried no weapon for her to take, and most of their body is buried under the chandelier, which would be too heavy to lift off of them. Even if she could access their pockets, their ID wouldn't matter much anyway.

She shakily takes her phone out and tries calling Kiki again. All she gets is her voice message. After the beep, Cookie explains what has happened to her so far: she and Sherb and Marshal are at her dormitory and they are separated. Someone is after her and they took her to this bizarre crayon area full of monsters where she barely escaped. She found a body and she doesn't know if her dorm room is even safe, but please please please please please call or text her back as soon as she can.

A thought occurs to Cookie and she asks for Sherb and Marshal's numbers. If she could contact them, she might be able to find them! She asks for Muffy's too in case she's also trapped in this awful version of their school. She ends the call and cautiously looks around for anything that might have heard her.

Cookie uses the LARGE KEY on the second door to the left. This gives her access to the janitor's closet.

The room has a musty smell like a forgotten dungeon. The sink hasn't been used in ages, crawling with rust and weird tubes that don't seem like they go anywhere. The pipe it's connected to is aged enough that it could easily snap off. There's all sorts of detergents and sprays and bleach, along with the usual mops and brooms and swiffers. Yellowed stocks of toilet paper line the shelves, including more chemicals and bottles. A solitary toy wand lays forgotten on one of the shelves, striped like a candy cane with a star at the end.
