at once short of life, and long of sorrow.

[You are dead.




Well, obviously. You remember how you died. It was...not fun, to say the least. But hey, at least you're off that ship, right?

Except...you don't know exactly where you are now. It seems like a house, but if it is, it's...a work in progress. Most of the rooms are empty, and your steps echo up through the marble columns and down faint mosaics on the tiled floor. The few windows you find have a green light gleaming through them; you can't really see anything beyond the eerie light.

It feels like you're in a temple of some kind. The columns and mosaics seem to indicate it is something like that-it's certainly reminiscent of something out of an ancient culture, perhaps even one you're familiar with. For some reason, though, it's clear someone-or something-lives here. One of the rooms to the south is stuffed with pizza boxes. Another, larger room has a makeshift futon in one of the corners. There are imprints of multiple footsteps all through the dusty floors as you look around, many of them leading to a small alcove to the west. And-

and there's a giant van. Just. hanging out there. Completely out of place with the seemingly ancient decor. And inside, there is the sound of light snoring.



Ok then. You're apparently not alone in death, after all.]

You... But then where could he be? Not on the other side! That- that just wouldn't make sense!

[ Finally, a bit of worry strains the usual cheeriness. ]

I was really looking forward to seeing him, you know! Hearing him squishing his way across the carpet, even from up here... He's so good at figuring out how to solve problems in the House!

Not that- Not that it's a problem everyone else wants to rest, of course!

[ A little gasp. ]

You don't think someone caught him like that guy did with Thanatos, do you? Is that even possible?
countingme: (hi)

Yeah... Maybe I should go down and check on them?

[ It shuffles, looking down at its little hooves. ]

But I don't want to just leave these shades all on their own...

[ Really? Is that the only reason? ]

Y- you haven't seen Nyx lately, have you?
