Somewhere in the Manor of Eternity
John looked at the grey note and began to think about what it meant. To be honest, John couldn't shake the feeling that somebody didn't want him to go down the the grey note's path. Perhaps they were hiding something down there. Of course, the inverse could be said as well. Perhaps somebody wanted John to go down the grey note's path. After all, why put a note at a path that lead to nowhere? Why wasn't the same done tio the other hallways? Either way, John couldn't shake the feeling that despite the other note telling him to go the other way, he was actually supposed to take the grey note's route. For some reason, he was drawn to it, as if by a gut feeling, or some other intangible feeling instead of logic.
After taking a moment to consider his decisions, John walked down the darker path where the grey note resided.
"Uh, John? Where are you going? The correct hallway is behind you.", Cortana said to John in a confused tone.
"I know that, but why would the doll put a note here? Why not the others? Something tells me that the obvious choice might not be the choice the doll wants us to take.", John said to Cortana.
"I'm getting that sinking feeling that we're walking right into a trap.", Cortana said.
"It might be a trap, it might not.", John simply said as he continued through the darker hallway, putting the strange doll into the storage compartment on his thigh.

Mima sighed at her situation. Stuckk on an island in the middle of nowhere, suspicious mansion, Lost memories, she hated it. Ah, I'm just tired of this. Master Spark would be so goddamn..."
Her staff lit up.
"Oh wait, nononono!" Mima cried out, but alas, it was too late, her staff fired off a large laser, removing a part of the wall of the mansion she was circling, along with sending a loud boom throughout the island.
She looked to her staff in somewhat amazement. "I..I have my powers back? Maybe this isn't as bad as I made it out to be."
Helios System
Eventually, SimO came out of it's state, unplugging the wires from itself, getting up and turning. A loud boom resounded through it's auditorial processors, along with the ship shaking. Quickly, SimO opened the pod, weapons on the inside of the doors, it's tesla thrower, and it's sniper rifle. It started out of it's room to see several soldiers rush past it. It in turn followed them until they came to a partially sealed door they couldn't open.
"Goddamn, it won't budge!" one of the men said. SimO approached the door, holstering the weapons on it's back.
"Allow me." SimO said, putting his hands in between the cracks and pulling open the door, to be met with a cloud of harmful spores. The soldiers coughed, and SimO pushed them back.
"Find assistance to stop this infestation." SimO said.
"And you?" another man asked.
"I think the course is clear." SimO said with a somewhat confident tone, and he disappeared down the spore coated hallway, as the others went the other way.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Eorthe showed no reaction as there was suddenly a loud boom. She simply registered the sound and turned towards its source and saw that part of the wall was now gone. That must've required quite a bit of energy, wonder who did that...Maybe it's one of those "others" the note mentioned. Seeing as no one else was inside the mansion with her, the other being must be outside. Eorthe retraced her steps out of the mansion and saw a strange floating creature with a tail staring at a staff she was holding. Judging by her expression the blast had been unintentional. So there were others here after all, Eorthe logged the details of the creature that she could see before losing interest. It wasn't a human, she had no quarrels with non-humans.
She returned to the hall and considered the two notes she had picked up before the blast interrupted her. She couldn't decide which note to follow, one seemed to lead upstairs while the other led onward. The notes seemed to indicate that the white note was the one to follow, why then would there be a second grey one? She shook her head slightly feeling bemused again, whoever had this power, she was enjoying his puzzles, after millennium after millennium of wandering. Well, who said I had to follow the rules? She closed her eyes and concentrated again, sending out her extra senses. Her attention was briefly captured again by the creature she saw earlier, it was made of a substance that she was not familiar with. She then put it out of her mind and concentrated on looking for any irregularities along the two paths.

Mima looekd back towards the newly made entrance, where she briefly saw someone go past. Mima's eyebrow rose, and even though she wanted nothing in this manor, her curiosity rose, and considering with her powers back, she certainly had the power to defend herself. She floated silently through over the ground, and entered the manor, following the person she saw.
"Hello?" Mima called out again.
Helios System
The hallway was entirely infested by the spores, and SimO was lucky that it couldn't breath at that moment in time. A form rushed past it's vision, and it brought out the Tesla firing weapon, it's blue glowing core illuminating the otherwise dark hallway. SimO's mind was on it's highest alert.

Eorthe opened her eyes again, her concentration broken. She turned back towards the entrance to see the creature from before. It seemed to resemble a female human from the waist up but had that tail from the waist down. Eorthe decided that this creature should be a female, assuming her race used the same sexual classifications as humans. She was a little annoying, Eorthe then shook her head slightly, she did not want to anger any of the natives any more than necessary, except the humans that had settled here.
Eorthe stepped into a patch of brighter light where she would be more visible, held a finger to her lips, then closed her eyes again, concentrating on her other senses, ignoring the other being.

Another set of grey notes rustled by each person in the Manor of Eternity's Halls of Time. These were different though...they had white words written on them.
"Stay in the light.
Fear all shadows.
Do not let the shadows leave the Manor of Eternity.
The walls are their prison."
"Should ye feel something grasping at you and you see a shadow, even your own shadow, chase it away with the power of light.
Do not let the Demonarcs pull you in."

Nothingness
"Where am I? a thought came, but no answer got back
"Is anyone there?" another question, but no response again
"Am I.. dead?" that question had a grim tone, but the darkness was still silent
suddenly a light appeared, it was growing and a hand tried to reach it
A well lit room
Falling from what looked like a tube chamber, the white haired bioroid was on all fours gasping as her lungs were filled with oxygen
"W-where am I" were her first words, but again there was no answer. Getting up from the floor, the golden eyed noticed the cables and tubes conected on her body to maintain her alive "A cryo-stasis?" she asked herself while taking off the medical apparatus off her arms
The room itself was quite simple as it had just the cryo-chamber and a small table with.. a doll? on it. Walking towards the table, Mara took the plush toy and read its words on both sides of the doll ("Someone is either testing my sanity or actually sending a message") she guessed while walking to the exit
"Let´s see what we can find" the bioroid said to herself

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

The grey note that everyone received rustled by the door where Mara was...
Its texture was different from the one on the doll as well as the text.

Mara read the texts and sighed ("Yup, this place will test my sanity somehow, if even my shadow can betray me, then anything can happen") she thought while walking throug the corridor
"I wonder if there are other people around" the bioroid said to herself while turning on another corridor

Halls of Time - 7th floor - East Side
As John walked further into the Halls of Time, the halls began to grow a little dimmer, due to the sun not facing where he was. All of a sudden, the wall right next to John suddenly had a note on it. John noticed it out of the corner of his visor and walked over to it, and after pulling it off of the wall, he read it.
"Stay in the light.
Fear all shadows.
Do not let the shadows leave the Manor of Eternity.
The walls are their prison."
John was slightly perplexed by the message on the note. Was it implying that the shadows themselves were alive?
"You don't think it means the shadows are alive, right?, Cortana asked John as John placed the note back on the wall.
"I don't know, but we better be careful.", John said as he held his BR85HB SR Battle Rifle a little tighter than before.
"Got it.", Cortana said.
As John continued to roam the halls, Cortana began scan the entire area for entities. If what that note was saying was true, then every shadow in this building could potentially kill her and John.
