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!)

I haven't had a chance and truly I don't want to risk upsetting someone who has been nothing but kind to us unless I have to.
crouching_sin: (so call me maybe?)

I suppose. Well, we'll figure it out eventually. Perhaps it will unlock once more people show up.

That's possible. She did mention someone she knew had gone to the base as well. It just feels so wrong to wish the others would join us even if we aren't really dead.
crouching_sin: (threads of fate)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2018-08-11 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Of course. It's never pleasant. Still... it would be nicer here than at the base.

It is much nicer here. We can actually see outside and have a nice bath and decent clothes. It's quite peaceful too. But I also worry every day about everyone else. I worry about my friends back home and what is going to happen there. My world isn't peaceful and things are just going to get worse. I'll never be forgiven for what I did there either... or what I tried to do to Akira because I put my duty first.

... For what it's worth, I don't blame you. Heh. I do want to go home, because of the whole Kazuya situaiton... but mostly I wanted to know if I could get away with it. I nearly did. ... I probably could have, if I lied.

That's true, you strike me as being like myself. It's far easier to lie by keeping to the truth as much as possible and keep the only lies to being things that would go against the role you are playing.
crouching_sin: (but here's my number)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2018-08-11 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. And... well. I've had to lie a lot. I've found it easier just to say enough to answer what people want and let them fill in what they think makes sense around it.

And react in ways that are normal rather than ways that are abnormal. But there's little reason to lie about what I am now. The only thing I hid from you was that I'm part of a society that is very disliked by the Church because we're trying to unseal the Goddess' relics. In my world we're disliked by anyone who knows of our existence.
crouching_sin: (look to the sky)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2018-08-11 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh.

[He's quiet for a few long moments, before sighing.]

... I helped to engineer a situation in which hundreds if not thousands of people died. Admittedly the war for the title of King of Demons was coming - but I did provide human with the chance to fight back in some way. I did push the Shomonkai towards making things a bit worse, but that was in pursuit of putting my cousin in a better position to become King. After all, a demon gaining that much power would be awful. A human with the power of a demon? Much less awful. Depending on their choices, obviously...

[And Kazuya made the wrong one.]

I admit, outside of the people dying I don't understand much of that. But I'm getting the impression that you and I both did what we felt was right and didn't care if people died to get there if that result was better than the alternative.
