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~ :>))
irenicly: (♨ that she's got you by surprise)

[Oh my god.

And he agreed with Kimblee about this.

HE CAUSED THIS.

[ they'd all seen what happens when one listens to kimblee and yet they went ahead and did it

what have we done what has he done ]


...Ah. Well.

I don't think this was part of the Lady's plan, either.

[ Said in the slightly manic tone of a man who is trying to cling desperately to optimism in the face of literally everything that has happened in the past four days but especially this one ]
irenicly: your heart desired (♨ she stole everything)

[HOW MANY TIMES WILL THIS HAPPEN BEFORE THEY LEARN]

No, I don't think so.

[If there was a chance of him waking up alive after all of this, it's gone now, but...

It's kind of looking like the entire village is going to burn down and that's not good either.]
steel_over_blood: (Oh shit thats who phone is)

So much for him being a voice of reason among the demons.

In hindsight, we should have woken up Clover. Now there's a kid with her head screwed on the right way.

[ Shit, Clover. She's still brainwashed, a little, she won't take this well from her beloved brother-

SHIT.

CLOVER. ]


...You don't suppose she's still in...?!
irenicly: (♨ doesn't even matter)

[personal profile] irenicly 2014-12-10 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

Oh god.]


I... don't... know.

[Why this Major?!]
steel_over_blood: (Looming serenely in the back of the room)

[ Oh. Okay, good, there she is, she's not dead just traumatized forever and questioning her life choices. Bulat feels some definite empathy there. ]
irenicly: (♨ doesn't even matter)

[Thank goodness for small miracles.

Poor Clover, though. She's still brainwashed.

From her perspective, her brother has gone completely insane.]
