YOU CREATE A VESSEL...
You don’t really have a lot of time to think, and run on pure instinct as you pray dream logic is kind to you. Swimming through the water, you’re able to gather the random assortment of supplies you need from Volkan’s former office. Somehow, you’re able to cobble together just what you need in order to create a steady enough raft, and climb aboard to free yourself from the dark, murky waters.
You paddle your way towards Volkan, the worry on his face growing as the desk he has attached himself to slowly dips and falls beneath the surface of the water, “Oh dear…”
As he lets go and begins thrashing in the water once more, you paddle faster, heart racing as you reach out your hand towards him. At first he doesn’t seem to notice, the panic on his face saying all you would ever need to hear. Determined to get him out of here, you extend yourself further, nearly falling off the raft yourself as your fingers brush against the collar of his shirt. Aha!
With all your strength you yank him free from the water, the mayor of the city flopping onto your raft like a freshly caught bass before sputtering and sitting upright, “Ah.. Aha! Oh! Well done!” He cheers, before coughing some water free of his lungs, “Ah.. Phew…” he chuckles softly, “I’ve uhm… Never been one for water, as you could imagine.”
Who would have thought…? Lucky for him, you’re paddling the both of you out of this dream, and back to the safety of the waking world.
WHERE TO GO?
You have unlocked the chance to vote for which door you'd like to enter first.
To vote, simply ping Volkan with: @Volkan: I vote for [this door].
The door that receives the highest votes will be the thread unlocked tomorrow at 6pm Voltra Time.
Doors Available:
1. The Caged Door:
A Metal Barred Door With Darkness Behind
2. The Reflective Door:
A Double Set of Mirrored Doors
3. The Unlucky Door
A Chipped Door With an Upside-down Horseshoe

Your feet slosh through cold water as you approach this wooden door. Water leaks heavily through the cracks and seams of the wood as the doorknob sputters out sprays of salty water droplets. It’s not difficult to imagine what’s going to be waiting for you on the other side of this door.
As you open the door you make sure to plug your nose, bracing yourself for a sudden rush of water. Fortunately for you, that doesn’t seem to be the case, and as you look around you find yourself in a vaguely familiar setting… Voltra’s city hall?
It dawns on you pretty quickly who this dream belongs to as you walk up to the mayor of the city, Volkan Aria, as he shuffles around some work papers with an exhausted expression. You try to get his attention, but he doesn’t seem to notice, his bushy eyebrows furrowing as he picks up his pen to sign some papers.
You shuffle awkwardly before coughing, finally causing him to give you a quick glance, “Ah! I’m sorry, quite sorry, but as you can see I’m very busy at the moment!” He grabs a stack of papers, slamming them down against his desk to get them in order, “Yes, yes… Phew! At this rate I’m drowning in paperwork!”
A strange sound from above suddenly catches your attention. You glance up, only to be shocked by what you see: thousands and thousands of sheets of loose paper, falling from the sky! You don’t really have time to react as the two of you are swept up in the sudden pooling wrath of the gathering paper, the rush of it carrying you away.
“Oh! Dear, at this rate I really AM going to drown in my paperwork!”
Ugh… A pun dream? You don’t even have time to react before a real danger begins to present itself, the rush of paper transforming itself into a real rushing torrent of water. You watch as Volkan coughs and sputters, grabbing onto his floating desk as he calls out to you, “Quickly! Find something to hold onto!”
That desk isn’t going to stay forever… Perhaps you should come up with something a little more seaworthy?
Art by ghost.
