Dreamland (round 3)

[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?

Gigais...

[He murmurs slowly, examining the pile of bodies]

So we have at least that.

[Now the trick is making sure every soul survives to the end]

[He nods]

That is why Watanuki has been keeping your souls safe here.

[Shadow looks down, conflicted]

... I so wish I could tell the pieces still in play that their loved ones are here, safe. That they will see them again. But if Nirrti knew...

She would come here -

[Though he wonders if she really was that ignorant]

And depending on the living, it might make them more desperate, thinking they have to try harder to protect us here.

[Shadow isn't entirely convinced Nirrti still doesn't know -- but like hell he's going to be the one to mess it up. His heart couldn't take it.

He could barely take it week one when he thought they had permanently killed an innocent girl.

... Speaking of which. I think I need to go speak with Dr. Muller. He's... fragile. I don't want him to do something he'll regret.

[Sherlock would need to find Karen, her execution would've haunted his dreams if he still had the ability to dream. Without thinking, he puts his hand on Shadow's arm]

Please do... I do fear for him. I know there's things you can't tell him because of it, but -

[He falls silent]

[Shadow looks at the hand on his arm, then up at Holmes... then he nods solemnly] ... I will do what I can, Holmes. You have my word.

[he hopes that by just pointing out the still remaining command seal on Watanuki, Erhard will understand.

Shadow then takes his leave, heading back outside into the yard and beyond the gate, into the darkness
