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.]

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?]

[icanhearscreams]

[Ugh, it's her.]

[... Oh well.]

Yeah. I'm a little unclear on the details, but...

[He shrugs, seemingly unbothered.]

So I guess we're supposed to freeze together forever?

[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.

[notadinosnack]

[A dead person freezing to death. If he were more himself, Thanatos would have bust out laughing at that sort of a joke. The fact that it barely even nets a reaction says a lot.

He says nothing because really, what do you even say to the kid you killed? He'll just go ahead and move as he's asked.]

[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?

[notadinosnack]

[He's fine with that and honestly prefers people use his first name, so he won't bother to correct her.]

Not as terrible as I woke up at least. [He'll even try to give her a smile because she did seem like a sweet child who doesn't need to hear about all that terrible stuff, but it's likely obvious he's not quite feeling it yet.]

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?

[icanhearscreams]

[When he looks at Franciscus, his gaze is... distant. Huh...]

I lost your jacket somewhere, Kanji. I didn't mean to.

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. ]

[icanhearscreams]

Ma... chi?

[His voice is quiet before he puts his hand down in the snow and bumps a rock, which he looks at in surprise before looking at Akko, blinking.]

... How long have I been out here?

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.

[icanhearscreams]

[Oh good.]

Funny, I thought being dissolved might have made you shut up. I guess it was too much to hope for.

[Jun, you have never met this man -]

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!))

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus is going to search the ruins to the south of the tornado first for now.]

SUCCESS

[strangerpeople]

[While exploring the southern ruins, he will find a pure white feather!]

[notadinosnack]

[Thanatos will go ahead and go to the ruins north of the tornado.]

FAIL

[strangerpeople]

[Unfortunately, as he will be exploring the northern ruins, there will be no feather in sight.]

[belovedsuffocator]

[Felicity is going to be looking around the far south of the island. The igloo, specifically. She'd prefer not to go that far, but you gotta search everywhere, right?]

[icanhearscreams]

[He stares at the girl, but... yeah, okay.]

[Let's check the boat ruins first - he'd like to see what they are anyway.]

A Newcomer

[strangerpeople]

[Welcome The Overboard.]
