i like giving you character questions that make you think hard on it and i also like seeing blorbos in situations so i'mma ask a heavy one
(but also feel free to ignore this if it's something you dont wanna talk about its all cool :D)
Give some of your horror characters the Silent Hill treatment. What kinda horrors are they experiencing in the town? Would any of them be able to escape?
Crazily enough actually, I think of a scenario somewhat similar to this whenever Ivy enters the Mordeo forest, it's like an out of body experience to gracefully explain it as well as I can. Because for someone who a hybrid of this demonic cannibal species, whenever the curse tries to grapple onto her and finish the overall transformation, it doesn't budge, really, from the state that Ivy's in, half and half basically, yet at that point it's Mordeo instincts surging through a piloted body that can dole out the damage that Ivy knows, and can witness doing but can't stop.
She's within the forest, overhearing the Queen's beckoning calls for her to come home and truly be who she is while her body is reacting to the basic natural instincts of the Mordeo.
-I feel like North's would definitely experience feeling like he's not a human. It's staring, judgement, whispers that are just out of earshot but he can overhear his name on the wind. The weight of his previous deformities still settled on his skin and flesh so he's probably again scratching and clawing at the already damaged scars there. I think North would definitely survive because, this is just him, he is his trauma and the life he lives now in the woods is him literally just trying to overcome in and be better than it but humanity is humanity and still lump in it.
-Kurtis already lost his.
-Pa is a special kind here, honestly probably the most fitting in a scenario like Silent Hill. The volatile mixture of war trauma/PTSD (he doesn't have it but he does still react to certain things), with his daughter's death so the idea of witnessing crashed cars with broken bottles, wilted daises within the fog, newspapers blaming a drunk driver for her own death and it's lucky that the others survived (probably would see a bloodied, riddled with glass shards, broken body version of his daughter asking why he didn't save her or do more), though I do think Pa still could make it out.
-I wanted to leave this one for last because Salem's is...whew, man, his would be rough. The things that happened to him, the failed suicide, disfigured creatures resembling men chasing him, grabbing at him, touching him just before they get too close, (most certainly witnesses a lot of old pictures of himself younger with a kid Reed on walls), the pressure of something surrounding his neck and threatening to clamp down at any second yet it never does. Would he get out? Probably, but I don't think he'd want to, a lot of Salem's mentality is that he just wants it to end at that point.
