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.]

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? ]

[strangerpeople]

[There are small flashes of people from within the tornado that seem to get clearer the closer she gets in. But there is another matter that catches her eye: a feather is blowing past from the winds.

There seems to be a choice that must be made: follow the images or follow the feather?]

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ Well. There's a second where she has to consider what to do because she could follow that feather or see what the images were about.

The feather would be gone quicker than the images would be - hopefully - so she is going to go after the feather. She'll come back if she has to, but for now she's made her choice. ]

[strangerpeople]

[The feather itself floats away from the stormy area, moving on towards what appears to be an igloo on closer inspection.]

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ Akko does follow it up to this point, but it's seeing that igloo once she's close enough that it stops her short.

Only for a second until she does move closer to try and take a look at the igloo more closely. Maybe seeing about going into it if she can. ]

[strangerpeople]

[She can enter!

It's also a good thing that the feather breezes inside as well because there seems to be another feather on the ground. Upon looking at them, they are a pure white color...and glowing.]

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ About to go into the igloo, she stops short when she caught sight of another feather on the ground.

Kneeling down, Akko picked it up so she could take a look at it carefully. ]

Pretty! This can't belong to an animal, does it?

[ With that said, she will move so she can enter the igloo. ]

Hello? Is anyone in here?

1/2

[strangerpeople]

[When Akko calls out, she will not be greeted with anything...at first.]

2/2

[15unknowns]

[But then a familiar noise reaches her ears as laughter can be heard from inside the structure along with someone Akko probably did not want to see pop out to greet her.]



Hellllllooooooo~~!

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ Ah darn it. Of all things it had to be the crazy girl.

She froze up a little, eyes wide before frowning slightly. This was okay. Still something she could handle. ]

H-Hey! So this is where you got off to! Uh... how's it going?

[ Akko even put on a smile. Just don't say anything about her being a witch and maybe she could handle this girl. ]

[15unknowns]

Hehehehehe...eHeHeHe~!

[Still crazy it seems but she isn't preparing to do any kind of attacking for now. Just laughing and spinning.]

[alwaysgonnatry]

You've gotta be a normal person under there, right? I heard you go to that fancy school! I think it's called Shibusen?

[ Akko is persistent, damn it. So she's gonna try and attempt to talk to her since there has to be something that works. ]

[15unknowns]

Hehehehehe~~

[She isn't speaking now but her twirling and wobbling are changing; instead of staying in place, she is moving to the outside of the igloo and further away, still cackling.

>Follow?]

[alwaysgonnatry]

[ Akko really hoped that she wasn't making a bad choice here, as she decided to follow after the girl

Hopefully this wouldn't end badly. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[Well, Franciscus has fire powers, as well as more clothes from the plane. So after bundling himself up, he finds himself heading out, and noticing the flashes of people as well. After a brief moment of hesitation, he starts following those images. What could it possibly do to them? They're already dead, after all.]

[strangerpeople]

[It helps to be prepared after all and given this weather, it's a very good idea not to freeze.

However, nothing prepares him for the force of the winds, and before he has a chance to turn back, the tornado picks him up and drags him in like a rag doll. His breath leaves him, and he's falling, falling-

Right into the arena, where he sees Thanatos attempt to wield a pink rubber eraser. He's back in the mansion. He's back with the living.

But they seem to flicker in and out as he watches.]

[silvertongueheir]

Thanatos? [He reaches out, trying to cry out as loud as possible, as if they might be able to hear him if he shouts loud enough.]

[strangerpeople]

[No matter how loud he cries out for Thanatos, his words will have no effect on the scene before him. There is no one who can hear him after all as the scene continues on.]

[silvertongueheir]

[Can he at least look around, or is he stuck watching Thanatos wave an eraser around?]

[strangerpeople]

[He certainly can! There are other pairs that may catch his eye after Thanatos: Krone holding up a scythe as she goes near some golems as well as Emma and Arthur pairing up, the second changing into...glasses?

Yep, that sure happened!]

[silvertongueheir]

[Well, that answers one question then. He'll continue looking around the room for a bit-anything explaining why they're all doing this?]

[strangerpeople]

[You see all of this happening.]

[silvertongueheir]

[...well then. Can he see any other scene from the living, or is that it?]

[strangerpeople]

[Before he can try to search further, something feels off...

If he looks at his form, it too will flicker in and out just like the images before him. Perhaps it is an instinct but it is telling him one thing and only one thing that matters most of all: get out now. The winds seem to echo this sentiment as they quicken their movements, blowing rapidly.

Time to go!]
