DEADLAND
[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?]

Not like I wanna be swimming around naked in ghost water.
no subject
[ Mood killer... ]
no subject
[Which was nice at the time, but in this context. Hrm creepy. Into the lodge they go and up the stairs.]
...Ugh, okay subject change. So do I seriously remind you more of a girl than a guy?
[This may or may not have been bugging him ever since that day, Floe. Be gentle with his delicate boy feelings.]
no subject
[ She isn't going to roll her eyes, because that would be horrid, but she does sound slightly exasperated. ]
You don't remind me of a girl, it's just- look, is this one of those things I don't get because I didn't know boys existed? Because I honestly do not understand what the big deal is.
no subject
I mean -- it's just that girls and guys are supposed to be different, you know? [A beat.] Okay, maybe you don't know.
Like guys are supposed to be strong and tough and brave, and girls are like... well, girls can be tough and strong and brave, too, but it's different. They don't have to be. So it's just.. kinda weird to think of you liking a guy because they remind you of things that you like in girls??
[....he knows he's not explaining this well, but he's trying!!]
I don't know, I'm dumb ok? Maybe I just don't get it because we have girls and boys where I'm from.
no subject
Well...maybe? Maybe I don't get it since we all start out the same, on my world. I know men and women are different, but...like, all men and all women aren't exactly the same either, y'know? People expect different things from you, sure...they have different places in society...
But guys don't have to be any of those things either, do they? Those're good things for anyone to be, but...
no subject
[He frowns slightly.]
I guess it's because guys are just.. stronger than girls on average? So we're expected to be protectors and to be strong at all times. Never show any real weakness.
[...oh boy isn't this harking back a lot to that argument they had. He trails off.]
...Kinda messed up, actually.
no subject
[ They've surely reached the rec room by now, but she just lingers in the doorway. ]
People always expect stuff. If you're a guy you're supposed to be a big tough soldier, if you're a sibylla you're supposed to be all quiet and perfect...if you don't act right, nobody takes you seriously. Maybe...it's just like that wherever you go. [ That's a depressing thought. ]
But y'know, isn't that kind of thinking so old-fashioned? All the girls I know are so different. And the guys I've met here are like that too. Everyone's just themselves.
no subject
That's all we really know how to be, in the end... and even just being yourself can be hard sometimes.
[A lot of the time. Heck. Lance hasn't really felt like himself in a long while, even if there are pockets of it here and there. Then without any explanation, Lance gives Floe a hug.]
