About that one dreamer stuck in a nightmare.

[X] And then you look back at the lightcircle around you and at all the semi-visible chains reaching for the walls from the tight golden collar on your neck. It's an exquisite work of art and a morally questionable piece of jewelry to use as a betrothal gift, one that makes you a prisoner and a prison both at the same time. Your Lovely Dear was a true genius in all things nefarious, knowing the devious bastard, he probably still is. The connection with the circle might've been an honest mistake on his part or some kind of a weird break-up fee. Nevertheless it is yours to abuse now.

I like this idea of the protagonist the best. In my head they're a little co-dependent. Perhaps that's why they were drawn to a parental figure.

DAY 1
Time stops with an audible CLACK, then there is only darkness and the Mother's eyeless stare. A very long and drawn-out sigh later there's a single white flower beside your head. It crawls into your mouth in a manner of a spooked snake. Then time runs again.

THE DAY BEGINS

With a belated recognition you notice how colors start to seep into the world around. Where once was a black and white dichotomy now bloom sparks of red and chains of gold. Where once was a circle of light and sea of darkness around it now lays a valley of tiniest flowers in various shades of blood.

your stat rolls were crap, you've got second to last -and- second to best at the first impression and also apparently noone here wants to be an independent human being.
