Welcome to Dead

[strangerpeople]

[You Are Dead.


Your last thoughts before the finishing blow may differ as well as if you had felt any pain or not. Let's be real, folks have been extra in the mansion so it's more than likely some crazy way to go. What can you do about that? But if you were thinking that death involves going to a place filled with fire and brimstone or a place filled with fluffy clouds and golden gates...sorry to disappoint.

When you wake up, the first thing you will notice is how cold you feel. Whatever you were wearing before, it will not protect you against the snow and wind. Nothing was taken from you but you cannot help but feel for some reason, it feels like your privacy was violated. But that's small potatoes compared to where you happen to wake up: a hole in the ground. Just a typical average sized human sized hole, no big deal.

Once you get out from your 'comfy' hole, you will see markers by each hole...best not to think about those and focus on finding shelter for now. You might want to be aware of that massive tornado that can be seen from your wake up points. Try NOT to leave by swimming into the water behind said points.

Better hurry.]

WEEK 3

[strangerpeople]

[Welcome The Embarrassing and The Ursa.]

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ Coming back to consciousness was somewhat abrupt, with Akko jumping a little as if shocked. She raised a hand to the back of her head but found there was no injury OR pain. Huh. That was odd. But so was the weird hole she was in, considering she last remembered being in the mansion. ]

W-Wait a second... I was hit with a plate by Mrs. Parham, but now i'm here.

[ Give it a second or two. ]

NO WAY! I couldn't have died from being hit over the head, right? That'd be horrible!!

[ She has priorities, shoulders slumping a little. That was until she clapped two hands over her cheeks with a nod of her head, moving to stand up so she could climb out of the hole and realizing it was just SO much colder! There was so much snow and the wind was absolutely chilling, causing her to shiver as she clutched her arms around her with a small shiver.

There were several other markers by other holes kind of like... NO! She wasn't going to think about that. Firstly there was a GIANT tornado in the middle of this place too and being out here wasn't going to do her any favors, so after a look around, she started venturing forwards, not paying attention to the other markers and trying to see if she could find something that worked for shelter. ]

If this is some kinda weird afterlife, what's the deal with all the snow and the crazy tornado?! They have a really, REALLY weird way of greeting people here.

[belovedsuffocator]

[So, for final moments, those were some pretty terrible ones. Everyone hated her, she nearly got away with it all, only for her own slip of the tongue to ruin everything, and the last thing she ever saw being the remains of a secret before a saw dug into her flesh. Very terrible, would never recommend.

Now she's...in a hole? And it was...cold?? this isn't hell what

And...a voice?]

What's...what's going...on...

[Well, that certainly is Atsuko, looking very alive and fine now. Don't mind Felicity, head sticking out of her grave, just staring at her.

This is...confusing...]

???

[strangerpeople]

[There seems to be some sort of shuffling happening in Coach that the residents of the plane will be able to hear.


>Take a look?]

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ At the time she'd been trying to get a bit of rest when the sounds got her attention, blinking a bit before smoothing out her skirt and standing up. Not wanting to bother Felicity, she headed down to Coach curiously to see what was going on. ]

Hello...? Is someone there?

[ That's all it could be, right? Maybe? ]

Week 4

[strangerpeople]

[Welcome The Scorching, The Noodles, and The Scratch.]

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus sits bolt upright, panting and clutching his chest. There isn't even any blood anymore, and the biting of the wind is obviously the bigger problem here. Still, for a moment he just sits there, shivering slightly before attempting to summon a bit of flame close to him, as he slowly starts crawling out of the hole.]

So...that part was real, at least...

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ Being in shelter was nice, but sometimes there was times when one had to go outside for some fresh air. Even if it was cold out, she figured a small walk around wouldn't hurt. Informing Felicity about her going out - since being on good terms with Eddie was questionable - was the last thing she'd done before stepping outside of the plane, deciding to walk up the path aside the tornado while giving it as much space as she could.

Rubbing her arms the best she could, Akko shook her head and let off a small sigh. ]

...I wonder if that creepy girl's still out here.

[ She's coming up to where she'd crawled out of that hole before, but wasn't looking close enough to see if anyone was there yet. ]

INVESTIGATION THREAD

[strangerpeople]

[If someone is near that massive storm, they will see glimpses of what appears to be movement within the winds.

>Approach?]

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ Since Franciscus showed up, she's been taking periodic small trips out of the plane and this time she feels like checking out the big tornado thing. So that means she's gonna get a bit closer to it now.

Just what's in there anyway? ]

MEETING

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ Once having arrived back in the plane, it's not long that Akko had went to tell everyone - even Eddie - that she'd found someone who could tell them more about what's going on and to meet her down in coach.

Once everyone is gathered, Akko moves to gesture at the blond pigtailed girl who is now here with them. Someone who is now decidedly a lot less crazy and creepy this time around. ]

Hey guys! This's Maka Albarn and she has information that I think we need to hear, regarding the one who's in charge of that creepy mansion we were kept in before we died.

[ She gestures for Maka to go ahead, moving aside to sit down in one of the seats. All while flashing a smile in turn. ]

The floor is yours, Maka!

[15unknowns]

Thank you, Akko. As she mentioned, my name is Maka Albarn and I am a meister at DWMA, or rather was since we all seem to be dead. Before we go on, I have to apologize for how I was behaving while under the Madness which Akko explained that something along those lines have been happening to you as well?

But also, she mentioned a mansion where there were a lot of spiders and two people were speaking of someone called 'Our Lady'. If you can, could you explain more about your time there? I have a hunch but I want to be sure before speaking up.

FINAL WEEK

[strangerpeople]

[Welcome The Launcher and The Neon.

A note to anyone exploring the island, you may notice that anything that would make noise, seems to be in the same beat. No matter what it is.]

[icanhearscreams]

[He's awake.]

[He's awake and not dead - or is he? He's not sure. Not like this, not with what happened.]

[But it's cold, and he's in a hole, and he slowly crawls out of it, body stiff and awkward. He notices the sign and glances at it, trying to read it as he wipes off his glasses.]

[strangerpeople]

[It's a grave marker with your name on it. Lovely, right?]

[belovedsuffocator]

[There's a familiar blob of orange not to far away from the graves, arms crossed and shivering a little bit from the snow. Apparently Felicity had no faith in the others in making sure no one else died or something, cause she's looking in Jun's direction, clearly waiting for new arrivals. She does seem a bit surprised to see him, though.]

Did someone really kill the thirteen-year-old?

[At least she seems genuinely upset that Jun is here?]

[notadinosnack]

[Even the most seemingly resilient of people do have a breaking point, and the ending of that trial and such a brutal and horrifying death along with knowing that two more innocent people were to die after him and he failed to save them didn't just push him past it, more like he went flying well beyond it. On top of that, everyone hates him now except Arthur because he screwed things up so badly.

It's no surprise that Thanatos is in a terrible mental state when he wakes up. It actually will take him some time to even notice his surroundings and even get himself out of the hole. The fact that it is freezing here barely even registers at this point in such a state. If anyone is nearby, they'll probably hear him just saying to himself how much of a failure he is. If no one comes he'll eventually compose himself and go look for the others.

Alternatively, once he's composed himself more and confirmed that Emma and Ambrosine aren't here, he'll be in a bit more rational state and closer to his normal self.]

[icanhearscreams]

[He'll feel a nudge on his side.]

Come on. We need to find shelter so we don't freeze to death.

[alwaysgonnatry]

Mr. Thanatos?

[ Feeling bad that she forgot his last name, this is the best she can do right now. Please forgive her.

It's been a little bit now since he's been on the plane with them now, and he's mostly been keeping to himself so she took it upon herself to approach him curiously, standing a couple rows away from where he was sitting. ]

How are you feeling?

Open

[icanhearscreams]

[Death seems a lot like life, in a way. Once he's found one of the cabins in the plane to claim, he spends a good amount of time sleeping - at least, at first.]

[Sometimes after sleeping he'll be found sitting just outside the plane, staring at nothing... if he's not making small sounds.]

[Slowly he starts to be a little more active, poking around outside the plane. Maybe he can figure out why it crashed? Maybe it was the snakes? He just wants something to do...]

Outside

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus is slowly growing more used to his powers, at least. He has some fire hovering around him all the time now when he goes outside, radiating warmth. He glances over at Jun, sitting in the snow.]

...aren't you cold, out here?

Outside

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ It's not too horribly long before Akko comes out, relief showing on her face for a moment but soon mixing into concern.

She wants to ask him why he's out here but the way he seems like he's staring at nothing was enough to tell her a couple things. Which was why she moved and ended up sitting down next to him, staring out along the island and up at the tornado for a few moments. ]

...Jun?

[ She'll ask it quietly, as if not wanting to completely interrupt him. ]

poking around

[15unknowns]

[Well there is at least one human disaster out there around the plane disaster! He 'tsk's when Jun appears in his vision.]

Oh great. More of you! Wooow, you people sure are a fucked up group.

FEATHER SEARCH

[15unknowns]

[With the meeting still fresh in her mind, Maka decides to take action. Mainly on those small things that helped her cure her Madness. And so she addresses the rest of the group once they are together:]

Everyone here seems to have been suffering from nightmares and hallucinations...and we may have a way to fix that. I see we have some new people but long story short, my name is Maka Albarn and everyone on this island is dead. But let's get back to the Madness curing: according to Akko, she found these feathers that helped me.

I'm sure if we search the island, we can find more and help everyone out.



((OOC: So this is a simple search- go to any of the spots listed on the map and start searching! How you find a feather will be determined by RNG via mod. There are multiple times you can visit a place throughout the week and get either one or none at all. Just keep searching! Reply under this comment and get your results. Good luck!))
