Have you ever thought of Bad Future Timelines for your stories? I have!
Here's a character chat for all your bad future besties! They don't necessarily have to be protags-turned-bad or main antags. As long as they're affected by the Bad Future in some way, it's fair game! I'd say an upper limit of 2-3 characters per person, just to keep things fair. You can definitely just have one if you feel like, though!
There's no set plot at the moment, so I suppose this is more of a "whatever happens happens" chat.
Responses don't have to be too long (see any of the three Chaos Chats for ideal response formatting), although a little introductory bit in your first response would help. Just something about what the character used to be and what changed, or what they were doing before they showed up here.
Speaking of how they showed up, here's a starter premise:
This fog shouldn't be so dense… right?
It was normal at first: a thin cloud that rolled over your character(s) and settled for a few minutes. But now your character(s) can't even see their own nose(s). It's been a blind fumble for any recognizable landmarks, but so far, nothing. Your character(s) can't shake the feeling that they're going in circles.
And then the fog begins to thin. It's a slight change at first, but soon, it's undeniable. Formerly veiled limbs become visible, and the air itself feels lighter. As your character(s) try to breathe a sigh of relief, a surge of dread runs up their spine. Between the elaborate marble floors, the echoing of your character('s/s') own footsteps, and the floor-to-ceiling mirrors that they swear they didn't bump into, it's clear that they aren't home anymore.
The real question is: where are they?
And why do they get the feeling that they're not alone?
