Dreamland (round 3)

[foundationmods]

[A strange house of some sort sits in the pitch black nothingness that exists around it. For those just now wandering in, they will be drawn to the building, finding it lit up in a way that it should not be. It's as if the whole area- house, yard, fence, and giant sakura tree- all give off their own light, and the newly-arrived are drawn to it like a moth to the flame.

Inside the boundary of the yard, the familiar faces of those who have passed on already will greet them. Depending on who is asked, they might give an accurate explanation. But even if they don't, one thing is clear: you don't want to leave this place. The area outside feels Dangerous, and it is probably best to stay put.

Fortunately, the house is built in an old style, and there are many rooms to explore. One room on the second floor seems locked, but the rest are open to explore as desired. The standard rooms are easy to find: kitchen, a W.C. and a bathroom, a sitting room of some sort, and a couple bedrooms (with plenty of futons for the dead to use). There are also several tatami mat rooms with nothing in them currently, but it seems like there might be some use for those rooms.

Around the house, perches for birds can be found. No birds are on them currently, though.

Sometimes Watanuki can be found in the house, but most of the time the dead will be left to their own devices. The question is, what will they do here?]

[ uhhh don't mind ryuji

he's just going to lie on the ground

and







pointedly not look at akira ]

[foundfate]

[Hi Ryuji, there is a small fuzzy face peeking down at you.]

[kiddatheart]

--Huh?

[ it... takes a moment for him to register it. he's still out of sorts from you know. dying, killing his best friend thinking he saved him, and then finding out said best friend actually killed him on purpose, but cute fuzzy snake gets through. ]

What's this? [ raising a hand, fingers outstretched, to touch it ]

[foundfate]

[It's a snake! A snake that is fuzzy and has a fox head.

And it is going to snake around that outstretched hand, eventually rubbing its head against Ryuji's knuckles.]

[kiddatheart]

You're kinda nice.

[ bringing his hand closer now that fuzzy snake is around it

then speaking quietly: ] You're not going to betray me too, yeah?

[foundfate]

[The fox pauses, and then it glances over to Watanuki. Then back at Ryuji.

He's friendly, but he's also got clear loyalties. Don't betray the noodle and you good.]

[kiddatheart]

[ looks over at the witch noodle before looking back at the fuzzy noodle ]

I think I got it. We're good here.

[foundfate]

[Good.

Then the little fox will unwind himself and go in to bonk Ryuji on the nose, with its own nose. A friendly greeting, maybe.]

[kiddatheart]

[ a small breath is released that could be a laugh?? ]

Ya know, I don't say this a lot, but you're kinda cute.

[foundfate]

[The little fox seems to preen at that. You've made him happy!]

[kiddatheart]

You like that, don't you?

[ small sigh ] I bet everyone would love you.

[


SURPRISE IT'S GRANDPA]

Going to lie there forever, boy?

[kiddatheart]

Fuck off, why don't you.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

At Least you've got plenty of spirit left!

[NOT PHASED IN THE SLIGHTEST.]

Though you'd be better off putting it to better use than moping around!

[kiddatheart]

I got plenty reason to.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Just

Fucking waves it off.]

Psh, so you got murdered by your friend! You're here now, aren't you?

[kiddatheart]

--Where is "here" anyway?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Sakamoto-san.

[Holding a hand out to him, to help him up. She has Karen's blue eyes, not Vinea's red.]

[kiddatheart]

--Karen?

[ sorry he's openly gaping at her now AREN'T YOU DEAD







wait i'm also dead ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

I'm afraid so, and not because I've suddenly come back to life.

[kiddatheart]

So this really is the afterlife then.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Not exactly. It's more like a hiding place.

[kiddatheart]

From Nutty?

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's right. Watanuki-san set it up.

[kiddatheart]

So we should be safe here then.
