Round 4 graveyard

[When your character dies, however that may be, they will feel themselves floating. For a moment or two they will linger at the site of their death, hovering just above everyone, watching.

Then they will feel a pull and they will get tugged all the way to the studio, through a wall, through the hall, through a door.

The place they end up in looks to be a backstage area. There is an area for storing supplies, a coat rack full of empty prinny costumes, a lounge area, and a place to rest. All of these areas are marked by a green border between the described rooms and the doors that go elsewhere. You will see prinnies come and go, hurrying around as they do their work for the day. But within those borders, some of the prinnies will take off their suits, revealing the human souls within. Men, women, old, young, there is a large mix. They are all very dead, though, and seem used to being dead.

And among all of the dead is one living girl, one who seems to be running the show behind the set. She can be found giving instructions to prinnies and telling them where to put things, but she will always take time to give everyone who arrives the same warning:
]

Hi there! I'm Marona, and this is the backstage area. There's a lot to do yet, so if you could help us out I would really appreciate it.

All the areas with the green on the floor are safe to be in as ghosts. Your souls won't get pulled away as long as you stay in the safe areas. If you want to go outside of there, though, you have to put on a prinny suit. And if you do that, you have to follow the rules of the prinnies: no killing anyone, follow the orders you're given by the living, and try not to blow up too much.

If you have any questions, I'll be here! But you can come and go as you like. Just don't give Mr. Dazai too much trouble, okay?

I do not need anything Leonardo Watch, at least nothing you can provide me. [ His posture is entire casual, his knees loosely drawn to his chest, his arms resting on top of them. ]

I feel it is also unnecessary to ask you the same question. I do have a different one to ask you, however. Why are you here instead of Silver?

[Why does everything that comes out of Alcor's mouth sound so damned condescending? Leo doesn't have the patience for this, but he's too tired to get into a fight right now.

And then Alcor asks that question. Leo doesn't want to tell him the truth. He doesn't feel Alcor deserves it, not when he might question the validity or logic of giving your life for a friend.]


... does it really matter? Someone was going to die. Silver or me, it's still a life lost.

[ Tilting his head to the side. ]

A life lost is a life lost, yes. I would not say it "matters", but I will say I am curious. Is that a sufficient answer?

Are you gonna make fun of me for my reasons? Try to argue that I'm selfish?

[Even dead, he swears his chest feels hot and tight with anger, but he keeps his voice level. Fuck it, if what he expects to happen actually happens, it will just prove that Alcor can't ever understand the humans he claims to love.]

Because I already know I am. I made a choice, and now Silver's the one who has to live with it. No matter what, one of us was gonna be stuck mourning the other. And that's all because of the morons who put us in this mess because they don't think any of us deserve to live.

[ Maybe it's frustrating, but there doesn't seem to be any rise in Alcor at all, judgemental or otherwise. ]

I did not say either of those things. I also do not derive enjoyment from the anguish of others. [ A pause while he shifts on the rubble. ]

Prior to this game, I would have told you that I do not understand your use of the word selfish in this scenario. However, I believe I do now. I will not tell you whether your actions were selfish or not, but Silver very well might. I will tell you however, that you seem to be assuming many things yourself.

Perhaps that is to be expected, though.

Well, it's Silver's right to give me a bunch of shit, not anybody else's. I just....

[He feels himself deflating, not having the energy left to be mad at Alcor or anybody else, except himself.]

He already died once, he told me. And dying that way... it was horrible. I didn't want him to go through that. I just wanted to protect my best friend.

So you sacrificed your life in order to prevent him from experiencing such a thing again. Some would call that heroic, and others would call it selfish. Doubtlessly there are many other ways to describe the choice as well.

I wonder—what ultimately decides what your action will be viewed as? [ It's very much said aloud to the air. ]
eldritcheyes: (It's sweet and bitter)

[personal profile] eldritcheyes 2019-07-25 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
... it doesn't matter. It's done, and the only person whose opinion matters is Silver. If he's mad at me, I'll accept it.

Perhaps to you. [ He stands, glancing briefly upward at the sky. ]

Welcome to the afterlife, Leonardo Watch. [ And with that he's going to peace out unless he's stopped. But if Leo wants to shout anything to him he def has the opportunity. ]
