Peace and Serenity

[strangerpeople]

[Dying hurts doesn't it? Feeling such horrible pain as you realize that you're breathing your last moments. It makes someone wonder about what would be waiting for them in the beyond. Some would say there is an afterlife and it would depend on how you acted that decides where you will stay for the rest of eternity. But is it fluffy clouds and wings or pitchforks and brimstone? Will you remember anything that was once missing?

Not in your case. There's no clouds or fire nor any of your missing memories restored. Ain't that a bitch.

When you come to, you will be lying on a futon and tucked in like you had fallen asleep there all long. You will also notice that your clothes have been replaced with simple cotton shirts and trousers (for both men and women, hey we feel the ladies can wear pants too!) for better movement. But in Vita's case, probably a blessing considering. But something will stick out about yourselves: any wounds you had on you are now gone and healed. The room itself is simple with a couple floor lamps, a floor length mirror, a window, and a dresser but there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary-wait, a window?

Yes, there is one and when you look out of it, it's sunny. Not only that but there are signs of trees and a river flowing around where you are at. So there are two big things that you will now realize: This is most definitely not near the Base

And...you're not alone.]





(OOC: Welcome to Deadland everyone! This is the overall mingle log for Round 3 and due to the nature of it, this will be a bit more relaxing than the game itself. And since the setting is different from the Base, here are the places where your characters will be able to go to:

EXTERIOR:

-The Temple: Your place of residence for the duration. Unlike the Base which is constantly in a strange futuristic setting, this has the feel of a much simpler time.

-Outhouse: Where you can go to the bathroom. There's only one but thankfully it's actually got plumbing. Just a toliet and sink to clean up once you're done with your business.

-Baths: Or rather one bath. Not many folks live here after all. However, the tub is large enough to fit several people and and there is a box where soap and shampoo is stored.

-River: This river seems to be where a lot of folks like to wash up on. It's really weird according to the one who is living here.

-Pink Pond: ...no seriously, there is some weird pond in the back of the temple with a pink colored something. Are you brave enough to take a dip or a taste?

-Vegetable Garden: A large plot of land behind the temple is reserved for growing various vegetables. You have the normal kinds such as eggplants and carrots and celery but then there's smaller trees that grow warm bread and al dente noodles. We are not joking. And they are delicious.


INTERIOR

-Strangers' Room: This is a large room where the Strangers will be sleeping in throughout their stay. There is a dresser large enough for storing things if they wish to do so but it's mainly for extra clothing. The beds here are not bunks but rather the futons they will wake up on. It's easily foldable and there's no set spaces where you are able to sleep. And yes, both men and women will be sharing this room so I hope you kids have some manners and try not to peep on the other like a bad harem anime trope.

-Kitchen: 'Rustic'...is one way to describe it. But hey, at least there's an ice box to keep things frozen, counters to chop things up, tools to do cooking in, a sink with plumbing, and a fire burning stove. Just clean up after your mess, no one wants to disappoint the person living here.

-Hallway Closet: A walk in closet where extra futons, blankets, and towels are stored. Nothing fancy.

-Locked Room: ???

-Pink Bedroom: Someone lives here and would appreciate it that no one snoops through her things.

-Main Hall: A large room that also works for meetings and gatherings. And for fighters, a good place for sparring. There's several wooden poles for training but that seems to be it.

Enjoy your stay, Strangers!)

[Well, good thing Vita does know how to swim, but fast currents definitely require preparation. Sounds like she also wouldn't even be able to see the bottom. So are there any good anchor points where she could tie something on?]

[strangerpeople]

[There's a tree with a branch above the river. The branch is sturdy enough for someone to hold on.]

[illusionarymelody]

[Is the branch low enough that she could grab it and not break it by lowering it too much? She's not exactly tall, but the tree and something as a rope may work with her height if it came to it.]

[strangerpeople]

[It is! Will she need a spotter?]

[illusionarymelody]

[Vita's actually a good swimmer. Water is her natural element, after all. And truly, she's not sure if she can trust Akira enough to assist and she barely knows Richard and NPC-tan. As long as she has something to hang on to she should be fine. It would be better if she had a bathing suit, but she's definitely not stripping and risking someone getting another good look at her. If it seems too much, then she'll get out and ask for assistance.]

[strangerpeople]

[Sounds good!

Hopefully she will have a good grip on the branch during this but Vita will learn that the river is about three feet deep.]

[illusionarymelody]

[Not bad, but still very possible for an unconscious person to drown, especially with those currents. Whatever location they drifted from can't be too far off even with the swift currents.

So Vita definitely wants to look upstream. Before she heads in that direction, does it look like there are any buildings in the distance?]

[strangerpeople]

[No buildings to be seen but she will take notice of the metal scrap and trash in the distance.]

[illusionarymelody]

[She'll go ahead and walk over by that seems rather out of place. Not fond of the idea of digging through trash, but what can she do? She'll just grab a bath later. So what does she find in there?]

[strangerpeople]

[It's metal scraps and such. Things that may appear as waste to everyone.

[illusionarymelody]

[Does the material seem similar to what was used in the base? Also are there any smaller pieces of scrap she could take? If so it might be worth it to bring one back to show the others.]

[strangerpeople]

[It is. There is a nice rod you can probably bring back. Nice and sturdy and maybe good to keep perverts away.]

[illusionarymelody]

[Definitely grabbing that. For one, the others may be able to figure something out she can't and having some means of defense can't hurt. If there's nothing else of note, then she's going to walk upstream a bit and see if there is anything else to find.]

[strangerpeople]

[Enjoy your walk and seeing more scrap along the way!]

[illusionarymelody]

[Is there still pretty much nothing to be seen? Vita is definitely trying to figure out where they all may have entered the river.]

[strangerpeople]

[All there is to be seen is trash and scrap unfortunately.]

[illusionarymelody]

[No signs of other people even having been present in the area besides all the trash? Or anything else potentially of interest among the trash and scrap?]
