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~ :>))

Sir Oswin, then - my apologies.

[...Look, at least he's nothing if not polite.]

Either way, it's of utmost importance that we do...whatever it is you did to me, to as many influential people in that village as we can.

...You were woken up more than just physically. You saw the Lady for what she really is.

[fauxlosophical]

I saw everything for what it was. The village, my true relationship with Isaac, the Lady and the Gentleman both.

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

There is no Gentleman. All who fail to wake in the morning, be they targeted by demons, Maddened, or Avenger, are made so by the Lady. You'll see as much yourself tonight.

[fauxlosophical]

I don't doubt it's her doing, but let's say there's a very good reason I didn't want to be set in that godforsaken barn as punishment.

Either way. I assume someone has awakened Connor, am I wrong? Who else is there?

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

Haytham woke him as well last night. I do not know if anyone was woken the night before that.

Do we have any sort of actual plan yet? I'm personally not interested in doing nothing as long as we have the ability to affect change on the village's outcome.
