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?

The truth?

Her father regretted coming to America with his dark-skinned wife and son. He sent the girl to the party, and then set the fire in their home.

Many people did feel badly for her... they didn't think she was a witch at all. But they were too afraid to say anything...

And her husband, even after he remarried and had children -- he regretted not helping her.

[Shadow does tilt his head up, toward Natsuno as he walks in]

Anything to add, Koide?

. . . So I was right.

[ That the truth was being embellished the whole time. Although the truth is definitely not something he entirely expected. But it is a little sad. But messed up. ]

How did the others react?

[ He's admittedly a little curious. ]

Most of them had similar suspicions.

That's good.

[ He's honestly relieved, actually. ] I think they can make it through this, then. It'll be alright.

[His expression was drawn as he took in this short but troubling summary, for a moment he thought of a little girl he once encountered during a case.

Time, grief, and the need to justify a terrible fate... it would distort a story]

What will they do with the information?

With any luck? Confront Nirrti -- or whatever her name really is -- with what they know. Try and get her to accept that she has both good and evil in her, just as the people in the village did. Just as we all do.

[except maybe Sora. That kid might actually be pure good]

[ He thinks that over for a bit before he responds. ]

She split herself in two. One part wanted to live, and one part wanted to die. You can't exist like that, with two dichotomies fighting for control in that way.
