characters: everyone.
location: around town.
date/time: october 9-17.
content: the hallucinations begin...
warnings: psychological horror. please cw tags appropriately.

it's probably something that shouldn't be said out loud

October 9 feels like a normal day at first, save for the red lighthouse beam cutting through the darkness overhead. You know by now—or you've heard—that the lighthouse is only active during ferry arrivals and events... And there's definitely no ferry docked at the, er. Beach. The town is quiet, the forest spirits behave business-as-usual, Rastus doesn't know what's up. Whatever's going on, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

And you will, though the hallucinations are subtle at first: objects moving when they shouldn't, people's proportions looking just a bit off, voices in an empty room, and so on. Is it just your mind playing tricks in the darkness? Might be! Will did warn you all about the effects of living without a sun and a proper day/night cycle.

As the days go on, the hallucinations are harder to ignore, no matter how much you may wish to wave them off as flukes. What's wrong with everyone's faces? When did all the howling start? Who do you hold onto when the world drops out from under you? And those hands...

While you might know it can't be real, it certainly feels real. But at least it can't last forever!

...Right?

[That's all he needs right now anyway. Ignis doesn't think he'd be in the proper mindset for anything more than just this. It is a reassuring thought, though, that Noctis is next to him. Unharmed. Out of reach from anyone that can injure him. This place has done nothing to calm his nerves ever since they arrived; so having Noctis just sit by his side and grip his hand is enough to calm him down.]

I hope so... this place is making me question everything.

[Especially just how reliable can he be to Noctis in situations like these. When the enemy is invisible; when the enemy is their own senses deceiving them. All he can do is try to promise to Noct and himself that he will always do his best to protect him. At any time.]

Thank you for believing in me.

[For (almost) the entirety of his life, Ignis had been a constant, calming pretense. A steadfast, immovable force that would constantly be at his side. As surely as the sun would rise and set, Ignis would always return to him. Like a moth draw to a flame, tides giving into the will of the moon. They were two equal parts of the same whole, a matched set that left one incomplete without the other.

Noctis' belief in Ignis was absolute. There were no terms and conditions that came along with it. Freely and wholly given, handed over to this man who had done everything to deserve such blind faith.]

Always.
