Peace and Serenity
[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!)

It's just like...[She looks towards the painting on the wall. Vita will remember looking at it during her investigation.]
There is a story that we of the Order know of; a man named the Beyonder came to our universe and helped defeat the Red Army many years ago. And he left as soon as he came. I wonder because it is said that he too wore the same as you had arrived with.
no subject
[ That's it; that's his focus. ]
no subject
no subject
Of course! I would be honored to!
[She nods and claps her hands together.]
Ten thousand years ago, the universe was in danger. The two major powers were the White Army and the Red Army. One day the Red Army was taken over by a brutal king, and in establishing their empire, they nearly wiped out the White Army, disrupting the balance of things and plunging everything into chaos. But it was in that moment of darkness that the Beyonder came and with his powers, slayed the monstrous Red King and saved everyone.
The Neutral Zone back then was a little like it is now - the place where all of the universe's discarded things and trash accumulates. The only two inhabitants were our orders' founders, Crackle and Sherry. The Beyonder enlisted their aid in the final battle against the Red King, and entrusted them and their successors to the keeping of the universe and its balance. The Order of the Sherry and the Order of the Crackle have been carrying out this task to this day, especially in light of the Demon's ascent in the universe.
We always knew the Demon would strike and try and end everything, so we've been preparing. We just never knew when it would happen!
no subject
And what have you guys done in preparation for this?
no subject
[Vita had definitely suspected Marie wasn't the head of this and just a peon who was assigned to a task that no one else wanted. But her thought when she hears the word "Demon" is of one of her Enforcers who is part demon and that's not exactly likely to be an accurate representation.]
no subject
[Then she folds her hands into her lap.]
The last I had heard from other members was awhile ago. There was some sort of lead and decided to follow...not only that but the Priest of the Crackle went to the Base but I haven't heard anything from him either.
It's just me here.
no subject
How long ago did they go to the base?
no subject
no subject
[That really narrows it down.]
Hmmm when he left it was...oh dear, I think about a month ago...?
no subject
[ He was asking because he wanted to know if there was any way it could be connected. ]
no subject
Unfortunately, all our group had our belongings taken from us. Outside of Marie, we saw no one else.
no subject
[Worried? Y e p.]
no subject
[ He twists a strand of bangs. ]
I don't believe everything we saw there is all there was to see, after all.
no subject
I wonder if there is any possibility that we could rescue him and our friends.
no subject
[An answer to both. She's honest to goodness lost on what to do and she rubs her head in concern.]
There's a lot to try and take in right now...
no subject
Then... for now, how about we focus on settling in? [ a beat ] Maybe let... Kerri-san have a moment?
[ After another pause: ]
Is it okay if, after we've properly thought things over, we talk with you again?
no subject
And until we can figure out what we're doing we'll be glad to help out here. It truly is very kind of you, Kerri, to take in complete strangers like us.
no subject
It would be wrong to turn you away after what you have gone through. And we are on the same side after all and I want to do what I can to help. I just do not know what yet; but I can at least offer shelter here at the temple.
