[Some time after your character dies, they will wake up in their bunk in camp. But something is wrong here, so very wrong.
Venture outside, and you will see that you're still in camp, but it's trapped in a foggy twilight. Time doesn't seem to pass, and it's quiet. Too quiet. No animals, no breeze, nothing.
The only sign of anything living is in the trees, where dozens and dozens of ghostly figures roam. Sometimes they might come into camp, but you'll probably have to go out to meet them if you want to talk to them. They all seem to be watching camp, but are shy and might flicker away if they're approached.
Finally, in the chapel in the lodge, there is a shadowy figure. It looks like a preteen, perhaps? Maybe 11 or 12 or so. But that's about all you can get from it at a glance.
But you're here now, and there are things to do. Where will you start?]

I do like you! [That part is blurted out, and then he goes quiet to organize his thoughts. She deserves better than his flailing right now.]
Floe, you're the best thing about camp. You made me think it was going to be okay, you know? Like even if everything else was going to hell, I could still talk to you and we could still find things to laugh about. Even after what happened with... with Clarke and we ended up killing the people she tried to save....it messed me up a lot, but it's because you were there that I wasn't overwhelmed by it, you know? I guess I felt the same as you did and I didn't think you wanted to listen to me talking about the bad things, either.
[He sighs.]
it's just that ever since I've been here, I'm realizing that I can't...keep pretending that I'm not scared. And I don't think I can hide that from you anymore. I want to be able to talk to you. For real, I mean. The good things and the bad.

[ She curls in on herself even tighter, forehead pressed against her knees. When she speaks again, her words are small and muffled. ]
It's not like...I thought that you weren't, y'know? Seriously, who wouldn't be scared in a dump like this? It would be way more weird if you weren't. You...you didn't have to pretend for me. I mean...of course I didn't want to talk about it. All the awful stuff going on here...I didn't even wanna think about it.
But I didn't...I never meant to make you feel like we couldn't.
no subject
... I'm sorry. I should've tried to confide in you more, too, but... I... [He laughs quietly, self deprecating.] ...I really liked you and I wanted you to like me, and... it's so stupid. I've never liked anyone seriously before and... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't really know what I'm doing.
Do you.... do you think we could start again?
1/2
...I really liked you too. You're actually the first guy I've liked who ever just...let me be myself, I guess? You didn't act like I was something better than I was. You didn't mind if I played around or got cozy, you just did it right back. I really, really liked that. I liked it so much that I figured we understood each other. So I just didn't think any harder about it than that.
I don't really...know what I'm doing, either. I've never actually been in a relationship or anything. I know we never made anything official, it was always everybody else who called it that, but...but I just really...like you. I don't know what else to say. Maybe it's dumb to even think about these things in a place like this, but I still...want...I still...I...
no subject
I just like you, okay?! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I didn't understand and I know I was stupid and selfish and I messed it all up but I like you! I don't know what I'm supposed to do but I'm so sorry!
no subject
God, I'm so sorry, too. I should've known better and I didn't. It's kinda uncanny how we're so alike in a lot of ways, I was stupid and selfish, too. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or send you mixed messages or anything. I was wrong and I should've been clearer about how I felt about you... but the situation was weird and it didn't feel right a-and I can't go back and change the past. But that doesn't mean I can't change the present, so...
[He carefully pulls back a little, just enough to see her face and wipe the tears from her cheeks.]
Floe, I really, really like you and no matter what happens here I want to be with you... so... go out with me?
no subject
Yes...yes, of course!
[ And then she's throwing herself forward again; this time, to kiss him with all the determination and affection she can muster. ]
no subject
Without any outside interruptions, no Red to drag him off into trees, or raccoons to ruin the moment, that kiss goes on for some time - perhaps making up for some lost time, too. He pulls back with a smile and a faint hint of color in his cheeks.]
Your priestess outfit makes me feel like I'm doing something particularly naughty you know.
[He laughs.]
I kinda like it.
no subject
Oh you like it, huh? That's new. I should figure out what else you like~
no subject
[He grins playfully and presses his forehead against hers.]
You can ask. Or work it out the fun way.
