October Event Information - Part 2
October Event InformationIt's also time for us to reveal the new imprint location for this event! Please note that while this location will be appearing in the physical world of the game after the event ends, it will not be exactly as it appears in this event. We wanted to go a little more wild with the details since everyone will be stuck here for the duration of the event, but it will be a bit smaller and more toned down once it settles into the void proper. Of course, that isn't to say those other features won't make a reappearance in the future...
Without further ado, welcome to your worst nightmare!
Event Location: Mementos, Heart of the World
Deep below the world's surface lies a maze of dark tunnels, connecting each of the train stations that exist in the above-ground. Something else has seeped out of this place, however, leaking into the sleeping minds of the people. A restless labyrinth built out of fear, reflecting the darkest nightmares the world can imagine...
Entrances may be found on the uppermost level of the maze, and it is here where the dreamers will find themselves. Though darkened and in disrepair, it appears to be nothing more than an abandoned subway station. The distant sounds of running trains can be heard deeper in, and a steady, humid breeze blows through the area, almost like breathing. There are stairs and pathways leading back to the surface... or, at least, they would lead back to the surface. Translucent membranes of flesh block all exits, and though they may look fragile, no amount of force can rip them apart. Attempting to bypass the barriers through any other method will also prove fruitless - even if you could somehow get past, the path ahead would only grow longer, longer, until the ground opens up at your feet or some new obstacle appears to stop you. Try as you might, escaping from the dream simply won't be that easy.
The only way forward is down towards the tracks, and as one descends the true nature of Mementos becomes more apparent. The tunnels are much larger than those found in an average train system, illuminated by a dim reddish-purple haze of light that permeates the area. Parts of the walls are made of thick muscle, curved and slick with an unknown organic fluid, and the connections between the walls and their respective ground and ceilings are sealed with networks of spidering veins. The upper parts of the walls are covered in a more translucent flesh, allowing one to peer into nearby tunnels and the areas in between. The ground is lined with modern-looking subway tracks, but no trains appear to be traversing through the walkable areas. Despite this, an echoing sound can be heard on occasion, along with the shadow of a speeding train in the distance or through the walls. Everything pulses and throbs as if alive, and the thundering beat of a distant heart can be heard no matter where you go. The flesh in the walls and ceiling cannot easily be destroyed, but will bleed and convulse violently if damaged.
There are several levels of elevation within each set of tunnels, connected by banks of escalators. Sometimes, a small rest area will form between levels, providing a small amount of peace and shelter to anyone traversing through the tunnels. The first couple of floors are relatively calm and there seems to be no end to them no matter what elevation you’re at, but the tunnels become more active the further one descends. The thin veins that previously only connected in corners now spread off of the walls like a large spider’s web, and the train tracks that were made of more conventional materials are now composed of hard bone and cartilage. Even the rest areas are not spared this treatment, with seating transformed into rows of carved teeth. Larger chambers can also be found in the lower floors, filled with unknown liquids, strange bulbous organs and tentacle-like appendages that hang down from the ceilings. Bridges of flesh and bone allow the tracks to pass through these chambers safely, so long as you're carefully not to slip and fall.
Like an immune system trying to expel a virus from its host body, the tunnels will fight back against anything perceived as a threat. Tentacles with fanged mouths at the ends can spring out of nearly any fleshy surface, attempting to devour whatever is causing a disturbance. If one is caught and swallowed, they'll be deposited into some other distant part of the system, likely alone and surrounded with dangerous nightmare creatures and other hazards. Thick walls of tentacles may also spring up to form a wall, stopping intruders from venturing too deep into the innermost layers. These walls can be broken down and torn through, but not without resistance and apparent distress to the living parts of the tunnel that has summoned them - loud, pained shrieks will ring through the tunnels until the wall has been damaged enough to recoil back into the floor.
Though reaching this chamber may prove challenging, no further physical deterrents will try to stop intruders that have found themselves here. Instead, an overwhelming aura of dread permeates this chamber, growing more and more intense as one approaches the heart itself. Attempting to damage the heart in any way is ill-advised - it would feel no different from striking your own heart, and the results would be just as fatal.
