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?]

Well, hopefully we shouldn't have any blood here. [ He's not afraid of that smile, but he is absolutely aware that it's dangerous. ] But have you been in a lot of bloody fights? [ Curiosity killed the cat although he's not... sure if he'll actually answer. ]

[sotoshini]

Mhmm. [ Which is kind of a shame but he's here for watching this because it's ridiculous. ]

Not here, except for one exception. [ Y'know. When you killed him. Just throwing that out there, though his tone is still level. ]

[excavated]

I see. You sound like you enjoy that sort of thing.

[ Based on that... smile, to say the least. ]

[sotoshini]

...yeah, I think I do. I've figured out a few things about myself, here.

[ That may or may not be surprising to hear. Whether his interactions and relationships with people have shaped him for the better is highly suspect, but he has no regrets. ]

[excavated]

[ He is actually not surprised in the slightest bit. ]

That's a good thing, I guess.

[ He doesn't even sound condescending or anything, just... accepting of the manner. ]

[sotoshini]

[ In a weird way, Syaoran somehow knows Natsuno better than most people here. Helps that he probably saw sakura confession time though. ]

Third life's the charm, or something like that. What about you? [ This may be a slight dig at everything that's happened post chapel extravaganza, and while he knows the other has no regrets he's still somewhat curious if he expected everything to turn out like this. ]

[excavated]

I'm not necessarily a fan of drawing blood unless it's necessary. [ Basically. ]

[sotoshini]

"Necessary". But I guessed it worked out for you, hmn? [ Sardonic grin with shows just a bit of fang. ]

[excavated]

[ He doesn't even seem to react to that grin, keeping his expression completely neutral. ]

I was aware of the consequences of my actions and I took on the price for my sins. That is all. If I wanted to save someone, there are times when I might have to do something that might potentially make them hate me.

[sotoshini]

[ He seems to consider that for a bit, not bothered by the non-reaction. Takes one to know one, or something like that. ]

Sounds familiar. [ It's impossible to tell whether that's a good or bad thing. In the end, he just shrugs. ]

I'd say no hard feelings, but I don't like lying.

[excavated]

... Fair enough. [ He honestly doesn't have much else to say to that. ]
