Carcinoma is derived from the Greek word καρκίνωμα, and is most often defined as "a cancerous ulcer."

It's an oddly fitting description of the place you now find yourself standing in: a pulsating, gargantuan mass of something, most likely human flesh, floating in an endless void. The ground, as it were, almost looks like sinuous tissues, clearly visible under a thin layer of what can only be skin. There's no gore or offal to speak of here, but the air is nonetheless thick with the smell of eternally fresh blood. Explore to your hearts content, but try not to vomit.

It's unsanitary, you know.

the pit

[cheerupemoborg]

Had you been paying attention, a violent cacophony could be heard across the red plains the entire time you'd been here, the source of it emanating from behind some large hills far off in the distance. Approach, and the world will seem to shake beneath your feet, worsening with every step you take. Lights flare beyond the crests of the hills, and fire and explosions taint the air with the stench of burnt flesh. A new dread wells up in your chest, not unlike the one you felt when you looked into the light far below - but this one is somehow new, somehow different than anything you've felt before.

Once over the hill, the reason for all this becomes clear. In front of you is a pit leading deep down into the heart of this mass, cocooned in it's walls are a few of the people you'd seen earlier, and from it grows powerful tentacles of all shapes and sizes. In the sky above, Hank does battle with the many tentacles as they attempt to ensnare and drag him down to join those who already have been encased in the walls. Unfortunately, with every gain he makes against them, more appear and manage to pull him in a little bit more.

It's up to you, but it might be a good idea to leave.

Hook is aghast. There are not sufficient words in his extensive vocabulary to describe the horror he witnesses before him. He is about to sink to his knees in disgust when he hears the commotion.

Upon investigating, he see's Hank's predicament. He hesitates for a second, his fear battling with his sense of honor. In the end, Good Form wins out. Hook draws his sword and charges at the mass of tentacles.]

I'll not see this monstrosity claim me without a fight!

ooc: This could transition directly to The Struggle or stay in The Pit, however you want to work this.

"You do that."

[Hank continues his eternal struggle against the pit and it's tentacles, who now have taken notice of Hook.

Almost immediately, they converge on him to claim him as their new prize.]


ooc: guess we could keep it here!

[With a snarl, Hook lashes out with sword and hook, slicing and hacking. While hook is a master swordsman, there are a lot of tentacles, and only one of him...]

[They were expecting this. Another one? Why do they always fight?

The tentacles go for Hook's limbs trying to restrain him and get that sword out of the way.

By now, voices should be whispering into his ear.]
