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?]

Yes, the stress is unhealthy and I might die.

[anonnomnomnom]

You probably won't die again, but you might end up becoming a crazy vengeful ghost bound to this place, and then you could totally turn into those weird things Ichigo fights back home.

I mean, it's not likely, but it could happen.

[This has been a Hollow Public Service Announcement.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

If something like that happens, I'll haunt you.

[anonnomnomnom]

You'd probably have to get in line! Or you could try not becoming a vengeful ghost in the first place?

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's a strange thing for you of all people to say.

[anonnomnomnom]

Hm? Is it?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Whose blue truth was it that got me killed in the first place?

[anonnomnomnom]

Mine, of course.

[There’s no hesitation there.]

It was nothing personal, though. We all sucked at the Game back then, including me! So becoming a vengeful ghost about it would be like setting yourself on fire because you were the first to fall into a pit trap.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Pit trap...?]

I'm just saying I couldn't be a vengeful ghost without becoming a ghost first.

[anonnomnomnom]

[Pit trap!]

But you’re a ghost already, so what are you going to do now?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Find some way for Vinea to keep existing, I hope.

[anonnomnomnom]

I'm pretty sure we have that covered.

[Gigai are really very useful things, apparently. Even if they've set the graveyard on fire. Let's blame the alcohol for that one.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Maybe.

[anonnomnomnom]

Even if we don't, we won't be around to regret it.

[He shouldn't be so cheerful about this, but. Well.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

I'm sure there are a multitude of ways things could go wrong that would leave us here to regret it.

[wow, apparently being dead for a month and watching [description of entire round] makes you cynical!]

[anonnomnomnom]

If we're still around, then there's no time for regretting.

[Unsure if he's optimistic or cynical at this point, honestly. Optimynical??]
