Love me, normally

Michael Shelley • he/they • I remember weird doors haunting me in my childhood, I hope I'm not going insane

[doctor-not-monster]

Oh, is this on?

Hello! My name is Michael, I am an archival assistant at the Magnus Institute in London. My main responsibility is taking statements, so if you have something to report – let me prepare a pen and paper so I can write it down. Also I know my way around the archive and probably can help with the library, if you are in need of a book, but my boss required me to warn you that some of them are "cursed" and the Institute is not responsible for any damage they cause. I think that's silly, but-

Oh, I'm so sorry, I started drifting off again. Did you need something?..

(ooc: hi guys we've seen the fun everyone is having with the rp blogs and decided to join in!! meet Michael Shelley, he sure hopes he isn't disposable and won't end up being fed to an Entity🤭 also fyi this blog belongs to our Michael fictive)

Michael, I'm so sorry sorry for not being there for you and not even answering after... I forgot to tell you I tend to go offline off everything when I go deep into research

don't even worry, it's my fault for not trying harder to prevent this and I would never be that much of a dick to leave you. and it's not just my sense of duty, I promise. you're very dear to me

[doctor-not-monster]

Good to see you’re physically fine. I have some ibuprofen if you need it. It’s fast acting

As for Gerry…describe him to me. If he doesn’t answer by the morning, I’ll go hunting

Hello, Mr. Shelley? I have been assigned to your disappearance due to pleasant times leaving less wolves for me to hunt

Do you remember where you last were before you opened the door? Your job? An alleyway? A storefront, perhaps?

- @hound-of-god

I w@s ab0u† to wa|k !nto a smal| cafε wi†h no visιble sign. Cαn't remeμber ωhere iτ was thoυgh, sorry...

[hound-of-god]

I see…that does narrow it down, though. And did this door appear as the classic yellow of the Distortion? Or did it take on another form?

I ask because not a lot of cafes in the local area have solid doors. Most are glass or have quite a few windows in them

[doctor-not-monster]

[hound-of-god]

It’s quite alright, Mr. Shelley. I’m honestly surprised you’re still aware enough to remember that

But that does help. Considering I don’t think you’d willingly go into the Distortion, that means I have to locate a cafe with a similar door. Narrows the hunt down quite a bit. I know the Distortion is mobile, but tracking its previous locations does help the search. Are there any additional details you can remember?

[doctor-not-monster]

Would You Like To Speak To Someone Going Through A Similar Situation? Their User Is @doors-are-wrong And They Are Also Becoming Part Of The Spiral, Only They Have No Idea What The Spiral Is. I Do Believe That You Two Could Help Each Other Out, Or At Least Have Someone Else Who Understands What You Are Going Through.
