"Sort off. This isn't really a home, but it's where I live."

"Hmm, well... what do I call it?"
-
"Rapture." [b]The bathysphere eventually came to a gate, beginning to move forwards instead of down[/b]
-
"Rapture? What was the cause to build this Rapture?"
-
"The people wanted a better life. A free life. That's why they came here. That's why Andrew built this place. To be free of the parasite."
-
"I think I already like this Andrew character" Chesh said with a grin. Apart from the smile Cheshire was hard to read. He seemed to be either scheming, enjoying, or maybe simply intrigued. It could have been all three with someone as complex as him.

[b]A door opened, and the bathysphere was now inside. The door closed, and it began to move up. It ascended above some water, and locked in place with a set of pistons[/b] "Ah. Here we are."
-
"I'd be shocked not to see a sea food restaurant" Chesh joked while he took in the scenery.
-
[b]The door opened, and a mechanical bridge connected to the bathysphere to allow them to step across[/b]
-
He wasn't really sure what to expect. A city under water. Could such a thing function? Perhaps, perhaps not. Either way he was definitely about to find out.
-
[b]He began to walk forward, gesturing for Chesh to do the same[/b]
-
"Hmm..." Chesh followed along with the man. It somewhat reminded him of wonderland. Down the hole to a whole other world.
-
[b]Large windows allowed for visitors to see the city in all it's glory. Neon signs pointed to shops, stations, and major locations[/b] "Now, if we can just get past the Splicers and they're little gang, we should be able to get to where we need to go."
-
"And if I tear off their head they will be dead, right?" Chesh had a sadistic look in his eye as he proceeded to protect and retract his claws.

-
"You never know" Chesh said in a joking tone while he approached the door.
-
"I hope this works." [b]Something clicked, and the door slid upwards.[/b]
-
As silent as a cat, Chesh snuck around swiftly in a sort of recon as he hunted for these splicers he was warned about.
-
[b]In the hallway ahead, there were signs a battle that had occurred moments earlier. There were several corpses scattered around, with an injured man propped up against the wall[/b]
-
Chesh wasn't sure if the man was a one of the splicers he was told about but assumed to and snuck up from behind to smother him with his massive hands.
-
[b]He sent out a shockwave of electricity the moment he felt the grip, knocking Chesh off[/b] "Who the bloody hell are you?!"
-
Chesh jumped from the jolt of being shocked before reappearing somewhere else. "I was told the splicers should be made dead. So so I went to grab you and snap you're head."

Edited by Wheatley: 7/16/2017 2:20:33 AM"Hmm. That means one of them loyalists sent ya? This city don't belong to you, understand? It belongs to us. Ya hear me? Rapture is OURS!!!" [b]Several Splicers emerged from a hole in the wall that led to some other area. They all possessed a number of supernatural abilities, and mainly wielded very common weaponry (pistols, shotguns, and machine guns)[/b] [spoiler]It's good you at least know the series. Makes it easier to explain.[/spoiler]

Chesh chuckled from wherever he was hiding. A loud screeching sound from a pair of claws echoed from seemingly everywhere and without warning, a sharp metal playing card was sent whizzing through ones skull. "So I have a riddle for you I fear. It's quite simple but complex I hear. I'm the third in the sea and the second on land, but also the second you find in your hand" A riddle I fear. What could the wonderland creature mean by that?
-
[b]The Splicers didn't care, they were too insane to even think much about anything. But somewhere someone was watching. They gazed upon the area from hacked cameras, enjoying the riddle and what it could mean[/b]

Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 7/17/2017 10:08:15 PMAs time passed and he heard no answer, Chesh took it upon himself to consider it an incorrect answer. A dark substance as black as a starless sky began to take the entire room. It was as it drew closer it became clear, it wasn't a substance but rather a endless dark with seemingly no end in sight. Within it was a pitch black Big Daddy, then two, then several. A large twisted smile hung from the darkness with no face to carry it. It seemed the Cheshire cat had dragged them into the abyss of Wonderland and was manifesting something that they could fear. The floor felt strange, below them were several Little Sisters sucked dry of any life and the Big Daddies seemed enraged at what they saw.
