Thread: (Yuu Inohara) Strange New World (Eshbaal)

Matt could not bring out a single word, not even a confused mess of sounds as he stared at the impossible phenomenon taking place right in front of him. Defying everything he knew to be real, the book floated in front of him, inching closer and causing him to take a few stumbling steps backwards as if it was holding a sword against him, almost stumbling over one of the boxes behind him as his eyes were completely locked upon the vortex in the book, occasionally flinching at the sparks that seemed to fill the room and flow straight toward him. And just as his mind was staring to accept at some crazy level that this was actually happening, a pair of hands appeared, seemingly some creature dragging itself out of the vortex towards him. Strangely, the hands appeared very feminine, and so did the rest of the body as it started to appear, leaning out of the strange swirling portal towards him as the otherworldly woman's face appeared. As his eyes met hers or its, he was not sure which, he seemed to get completely locked in place, unable to take those few precautionary steps back that he had taken before. Watching as the woman began to reach for him, his breath was clearly getting heavier just by her presence, her entire existance seeming to have an alluring quality to it. And as he heard her voice, so sweet it seemed impossible and felt those graceful, delicate fingers caress his cheek, he seemed to almost fall to his knees, completely wrapped in whatever spell she had about her. And then tons of arms appeared, roughly grabbing at his shirt, arms, even one taking hold of his hair and began dragging him towards the book, and his fear returned inf ull power as his vocal cords began working once more and produced a nothing short of terrified howl as his entire upper body was now inside of the vortex, trapped in this impossible place as he watched the woman begin to slip away into the distance... and then he heard a sound like a book being slammed shut as he flew through the vortex. It was a strange experience, a tunnel of light that he seemed to fall through at immeasurable speed. And even with all of this, he clearly felt every single touch of the dragging, groping hands that seemed to inspect him like an animal would get a taste and the scent of its prey, causing him to writhe in their curious grip. And then, before he knew it, he felt himself fly through the air, suddenly feeling both regular breeze and seeings unlight as he finally landed on the ground, hearing the sound of something else landing beside him. Panting in an exhausted panic, he hurried to his feet and inspected the thick forest he had ended up in. For a long moment, he simply stood there, trying to figure out where he was, before he even thought of checking his glasses, which thankfully had survived the trip. Looking next to him, he saw the book lying open, and took a quick step back, afraid to even touch the thing. But it seemed that nothing more was going to happen. Slowly and carefully, he reached towards it and picked it up carefully, inspecting the first page he could even see, noting that one had disappeared. Okay. This is ... unusual, he muttered.
