A fold in the universe exists in the ether of the fifth dimension. This place, because it is somehow a place, consists of nothing, exists nowhere and nowhen.

Yet you find yourself in it.

To the eye of the mortal mind, this space appears to be a white, featureless room, and the portals that have brought you here appear to be nothing but empty thresholds. How you arrived is anyone's guess. Perhaps you were transported while in the throes of death; perhaps it was something so simple as passing through a doorway in your own world.

While here, others may be transported into this dimension join you. At there mere thought of your most treasured or needed possession, the item may appear on the pedestal within. Visitors can freely go to another world contained within one of the portals if they wish, but you must have a companion for the dimensional shift to work. Otherwise passing through the thresholds will be of no effect.

This is no dream; this is no afterlife. And you are in it. What happens next is up to you.

How to play:
↳ Write an intro post detailing your character's arrival to the fifth dimension
↳ Tag around to document your character's interactions with other characters

This is hardly the first time Loki has been in a place like this, and when something interferes with his teleport, sending him here, he can't help the mingled panic and resigned despair that hit him for a moment.

"Oh Hel no."

Prompt 1: Reality is Illusion

Such an empty realm is not entirely foreign to Zhen Chan. Always looking inside of himself to comprehend reality, discarding external stimulation to produce a perfectly clear mind created a similar sensation. His surprise at arriving somewhere he had no intention of travelling was slight and passed quickly, accepting the unpredictability of the world as he did. Deciding what to do afterwards however, would take some thought.

So that is how he can be found, the huge man floating unbound by gravity in the lotus position. Silent and contemplating in an utterly serene manner.

Prompt 2: The Old Man at the Crossroads

As it had become his goal to learn more of the secrets of the universe by speaking to people from all walks of life, this place had proven to be an invaluable tool. Beyond the universe and beyond even the gigantic differences between people of the same world, Zhen Chan could learn more of the truth here than anywhere else.

Cloaking himself in an incredible illusion as a fragile looking old man, a wide straw hat casting shadow across his face and walking stick across his knees, the disguised god sat with his back resting on the mysterious pedestal that provided possessions to those that passed through. With a scrawny hand petting the enormous and healthy looking black bull that sat beside him, the old man spoke to a new arrival in a shaky voice. "Welcome, to a crossroads of all crossroads. Will you stay a while and speak with me?"

Lockheed doesn't not being transported to unknown dimensions well, muttering angrily in an alien dialect and blasting out bursts of flame, but he soon calms down and folds his arms on his present perch.

"Hmph."

As a general rule, Crowley disliked spending time in Hell.

He'd only meant to go Below for a minute - just to receive a new job assignment, and then get out of dodge before a mug of cocoa had time to turn tepid. Back to his car, and back to spreading inconvenience in the way he'd spent several thousand years perfecting.

But this was very much..not Below.

Adjusting his sunglasses, Crowley straightens up, and looks around, brows furrowed together.

"...What...the tits..."

There were a few places unknown, tucked within the three kingdoms of the gods. They were hidden below the sea, up in the skies, and deep under the ground, all surrounding (mundane) human beings. Hades didn't bother to roam out of his realm. His brothers never bothered to invite him to the meetings on Olympus. He didn't even have a throne among the twelve and thus he ignored the surface at all costs. There were no hefty reasons to lurk.

Rare occasions called for him, and the rampage of a serial killer on a mass murder spree had to be one. He had payed his ferryman, and upon seeing the light opening up a vast entrance he expected to see vines of branches curled around trees. What he didn't expect had been the white blunt color starting at him. A light chill had resided his skin and if it could make the Lord of the Underworld shiver, then something had to be off.

Doors curled into a circle, nothingness between them and he turned to look where he had come from but all he saw was more white. Turning back around he found someone he did not recognize. What was going on? Hades simply stared at the stranger, expression impassive and very thoughtful.

It was just blank. Nothing. Just endless white walls. It was unnerving to say the least. But more than that, it was the not knowing where the hell - pun intended - it was that threw Crowley off more than anything. It wasn't Below. And unless Heaven had had a complete do-over, it wasn't Upstair's either.

Scrubbing his nails through his hair, he turned on the spot, muttering under his breath before he realized he was no longer alone. Startling back, he collected himself quickly and cleared his throat.

"Oi! - Excuse me. Ah...Where are we? Any ideas?"
