Lost Souls

[shimmershimmer]

[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~ :>))

Oh. Yeah, that was him. I think he's over that way right now.

[He may have done pretty bad stuff, but whatever they were while Ladied doesn't matter much now.]

Besides, Isaac told me it wasn't you guys that did this to me.

[fauxlosophical]

...Did he do that to me intentionally? Do you...understand what you're doing to people, when you wake them up?

[thefinaltarget]

Well, no.

But that's something you should probably tell all of us, not just me.

[fauxlosophical]

Oh, believe me, I intend to.

Would you like to work more frustration out before I do so?

[thefinaltarget]

Nah, you're expecting it now. Wouldn't work as well.

[fauxlosophical]

[...Really.]

You know, it's a shame we lost you so early.

[thefinaltarget]

Aren't you just saying that because you were tricking me into thinking I was the false seer?

[fauxlosophical]

[...Ah.]

If that's what you would like to believe. I know that my word means nothing to you at this point, and I'm not going to try to convince you that it should be otherwise.
