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?]

They can't have unlimited funds for this sort of thing...

[But maybe they do. Looking at it from all angles, right.]

If anything things have been neater now that Sol's aware of what he's doing. But I suppose if they don't listen for long enough it could get worse? Like when Sol was upset those 2 weeks.

They won't have to fund it at all if Sol becomes human. We assumed they need Sol for something, but with what we recently learns it seems like they are do primarily want to protect the world from Sol.

We'd solve their problems.

I think it might be more beneficial if we can convince them that they could have all of us as resources... and maybe even a humanized Sol too.

Fuck I don't want to even let them think we'd do that but it might be the only good chance we have.

I doubt that will make them feel like bringing us back alive... They can create anyone from any world, we individually have no value to them.

And with our bodies turned to stone we're just... extra resources now to save us.

So what can we offer them that they don't already have? Experience?

I don't think we have anything they'd want.

That's what I was thinking too. If they really want to contain phenomena like Sol, it would get a lot easier for them if they didn't have to do an elaborate ritual every year.

Elaborate... ritual...

Some of us have gained a measure of trust from the Lake Cats? Maybe that could be a bargaining point too?

...Let's not betray them if we don't need to. The less they have to deal with these people, the better.

Just tossing out options as they come to me. We need to look at everything.

I don't think getting on the Lake Cat's bad side is a good idea but we have to consider they're not just here for Sol. The cats and the moose could be factors as well.

Yeah, that's fair. It just feels like we're grasping at straws here.

It does...

But if we don't bring up everything we think of then no one else can give us a different perspective on things we might not want to think about.

I don't want to get the cats involved. You saw what they're doing to Sol, no way they'll leave the cats alone.

[Although part of him is sure they already know about the lake cats]

I mean, Sol's only doing this because they made some kind of agreement about it, right? What if we make the Organization think they'll just like, go nuts and turn on them instead?

My concern there is that they'd just bury him again. And us along with him.

If Sol turns too dangerous for them to handle who knows what they'd do to them.

[They could even try to hurt Sol, somehow...right?]

So, what? If we play along we're doomed, but if we try to fight back we're also doomed? We have to either convince them or scare them off, one or the other, but...

Geez, I'm no good for stuff like this. I'm used to problems you can just blow up.

We probably can't just blow these guys up.

I'd not say no if we could though.

...Boa, they're a worldwide organisation with who knows how many agents working for them. We can't kill them all.

But if we could.

But I would not say no if we could. The point stands.

[ Is he serious...? Well, not entirely. There are people like that Shirogane man in the organization too... but destroy the org for what it is? Boa thinks it sounds great. A few corpses more or less hardly phase him as an idea anymore. ]

Gods I wish it was that easy.
