Lost Souls

[You don't wake up, exactly, but at some point you come to. There's something wrong with you, a numbness and translucency. Should you try to touch something, your hand will pass through it. Why, it's as if you were a ghost. So that's the bad news. Sorry about that. The good news is that mentally, you've woken up entirely. You remember the real truth of who you are, your relationship to your so-called "family," and all the other lies you've been fed by the Shimmering Lady.

You can move freely around what you will soon realize to be the village. The reason why it may take moment of realization is simply because it doesn't look anything like you remember it. The sky is black, the grass is dead, and the cottages are run-down and shoddy concrete buildings. The pond is dirty, and there are no animals whatsoever, anywhere.

And the temple. It's more like a storehouse than a temple. The Shimmering Lady is there, or that mass of flesh and tendrils that calls itself the Shimmering Lady...

She doesn't seem to see or hear you. When the others exit their "homes," neither will they. And there's some strange force keeping you within the walls...]

((Popcorn, mingle, curse the Lady, etc! Also! There will be a special thing for you to do here once Night 01 starts. Watch for it~ :>))

[ Apologies won't do anything to fix this. But neither will getting mad at Oswin for an action made in good faith so he'll accept it. ]

Don't worry about it. I'm in a dangerous line of work, so I can't complain about a little setback like this!

[ Also if he dies for good he might as well go out with a smile... okay, so they're working hostage negotiations but the major's in charge and Bulat HAS DOUBTS about his ability to deescalate a conflict. ]

[ It's clear from the look on Oswin's face that he doesn't much appreciate the flippancy, but he's not going to push the issue, either. ]

[ And he's not getting anything more honest - well, anything more serious; Bulat's being completely honest in a technical sense - unless he pushes it so it's the immovable object against the other immovable object over here. ]
ill_hearted_gentleman: (And I guess this new set isn't.)

[ God, Bulat, why did he ever marry you oh wait ]
