Oh, you got curious and clicked the discussion link? Well, well, here's the deal. I'll start with a story and pause it at a random point. The next poster will then take on and continue the story from there upto however much they like. And it goes on. Rules? Well, just follow the forum rules of conduct as regards to the content, try to not make it a low effort post, and use your boundless imagination. You can write from just a single phrase to a number of huge paragraphs in one post, so feel free. And yeah, one more thing, to avoid getting ninja'd, select and copy your entire post, refresh the page (to see if anyone has already posted something in the time you were writing it all down) and then (if everything's okay) paste it all back just before you post. So, with all that out of the way, let's begin.

@Arvia It's just a place I made up, thought it would sound catchy with that kind of name (I meant it to be a parody on those names in Gothic stories). Everything is open to imagination, and free of copyright and IP nonsense.

Feel free to unleash your creative skills!
