DEADLAND

[petoskeymods]

[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?]

Week 8

[petoskeymods]

[summerghosts]

[Sol looks a little anxious today.]

Red and Archer aren't in the camp anymore. They're not dead I don't think, their souls would have come to me, but they left.

[seekingsunrise]

Oh... do you know when they left exactly?

[love_seriously]

What, they ditched us??

MONDAY (pre sol)

[particlebarrier]

[So someone made the mistake of actually paying attention to their zombie this morning and since there is no amount of brain bleach that is going to make watching the skin peel off his face feel less horrifying, it's time for another round of distractions with the dead. This time by the campfire.]

Okay, guys -- truth or dare. Let's go.

[diesifkilled]

...Seriously?

[This seems incredibly stupid. But since they don't have anything better to do...]

Fine. Truth.

[warmyyarny]

Truth or dare? Like, for real?

[Kanji doesn't seem as affected by seeing that all going on. Maybe because his zombie body was already more stone than flesh. Still...]

Better this than the King's Game, I guess.

[He suppresses a shudder. Not so fun memories there]

[seekingsunrise]

[Oh thank the gods, Lance you're a life saver. Brain bleach, yeah, halp.]

Truth or dare?

[Someone fill military boy in.]

[kitchen_witch]

Huh, I heard of this, never got to play myself!

[finalguard]

That's one way to pass the time...

[ Boa's sitting on the ground rather than on a log because that means he can use the logs as backrest instead. He yawns. Talking to Mitsuru has taken some energy out of him, but he's only exhausted and not totally falling asleep, so...... he'll play. ]

[yunolikebugs]

[Zombievision is wonderful. Not only did Gonta end up seeing that, but he had to watch Talcott's zombie scrape the skin off his face with a busted razor.

So yes please distraction.]

Uh... Gonta pick truth.

[romancekiller]

[ clarke looks a bit confused at first hearing that because unsurprisingly it's another thing she is unfamiliar with ] Is that a game?

[love_seriously]

Seriously? [ But unlike everyone else, she's already grinning as she says it. ]

Truth!

[bladeisme]

[It's like suddenly waking up from a deep sleep.

One moment, he was on the ground - breathing up bloody bubbles as he slowly watched what happened due to his weakness unfold, before everything went black...

...And now he's here, in his shinigami robes, patting his chest like how he once did when he woke up from when Ulquiorra had killed him.

(At least this time, he's damned sure Zangetsu didn't interfere.)]

...Is this....where the dead are kept?

[He looks around, blinking at their surroundings, apparently surprised.]

I thought...it'd be a lot more rocky.

[diesifkilled]

[And Shirou's here, sitting close by. He doesn't say anything right away, though, just glares at Ichigo.]

[finalguard]

[ Boa comes by Ichigo later in the day, looking just about as displeased as Mitsuru did with the zombie in the living realm. ]

Aren't you supposed to be able to defend yourself well?

[seekingsunrise]

[Ah, Ichigo. Well at least there's one person that isn't mad at him? Hovering nearby but not too close. He still expects Ichigo to kinda hate him.]

Morning... Sort of.

[yunolikebugs]

[Gonta... Doesn't really care what happened. EVERYTHING HAPPENED.

So as much as he was scared of Ichigo and his weird other self, he's coming over to hug you.]

H-Hi... Ichigo...

[Accept hug?]

[soulcandy]

[Sorry Ichigo he didn't hear any of that.

Because he's tackling you into a big hug.]

You were supposed to stay alive, asshole!

On Monday, sometime after Sol's announcement.

[yunolikebugs]

[That was... Not good news to hear. The counselors leaving suddenly.

But Gonta returns to the chapel after the "meeting's" broken up with a bit of hesitance. Sure, Sol seems genuinely nice, but this is the first time Gonta's spoken to them alone...

Here goes nothing.]

Hello? Someone dare Gonta to sing to Sol. Sol okay with that?

Tuesday

[finalguard]

[ As this disaster unfolds, Boa can be found rushing into Cabin 2, hoping to catch Lance and/or Floe there. ]

Can't your bodies just get it together for one last week?!

Friday

[summerghosts]

[Hey so.

Anyone out in the chapel will see Sol standing there. They have their hands out and seem to be concentrating on making a dark spot, much like the ones that led to memories before.]

Look! I got better at it and I can make them on purpose!

Memory Lane Meeting - Friday

[seekingsunrise]

[This time the meeting is going to be in the Chapel so Sol can participate as needed. After all the memory hopping no one's probably feeling up to trudging outside into the dreary fog anyway. Tal ducks out for a moment and when he returns it's with a clipboard for his notebook and a handful of pens and pencils so everyone can make notes if they want to.]

Okay... there's a lot to go through here, implications and also trying to decide what exactly is worth the effort of trying to convey.

[Before they really get started though he does offer Sol a weak smile.]

You did really good, Sol. You've been a great help. Anything we say in this is not meant to be a criticism against you or anything, we just have to cover all the angles, including what the SCP is going to think is happening here. There's some things that are going to be upsetting... [A look at Floe.] but we have to go over everything. Even if we don't like it.

[A deep breath, a brief nibble at one of his cuticles before he corrects himself. Think like Cor, dammit.]

So. We've definitely got a better idea of the kind of people we're working with here but... what can we actually say to them from all of this?

Investigation Reaction

[finalguard]

[ Well, this happened. What a thing to see through the eyes of a rat.

Boa is just... kind of frozen. None of this should be super surprising. They knew that they lost their memories from before arrival since day 1... They came in vans...

But those interviews... Understanding the depth of the memory loss and the agreements made.... ]

He... we're... we all... they told us and then made us forget again.

Late Friday for Lance

[seekingsunrise]

[Seeing everything that happened with Shiro and the emotional fallout of what followed... Tal wanted to give Lance time to process and to cry if that's what he needed but he also didn't want Lance to feel like he was alone. That worked out though because Floe followed him when he tried to slip away.

It's not until some time later, hours even, that Tal realizes something. With the loss of their bodies, the things they'd been discussing to use tomorrow they could also use today. Which is what spurs him to go find Lance, to nudge his shoulder and offer him a soft smile, hopefully encouraging a little bit of one in return.]

Hey... you wanna make good on that dare?
