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?]

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.

[diesifkilled]

We probably can't just blow these guys up.

[finalguard]

I'd not say no if we could though.

[diesifkilled]

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

[love_seriously]

But if we could.

[finalguard]

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. ]

[diesifkilled]

If we could, we'd be mass murderers. Not all of their agents are going to be like Dan.

[particlebarrier]

....Seriously? Are you guys even listening to yourselves? Shirou's right -- you can't just wipe everyone out?! Is that really what you guys think is the best answer here?

[STARING AT BOA, FLOE AND TAL.]

[finalguard]

... it's a satisfying thought.

[ Though he does kind of whither under that glare. ]

[particlebarrier]

[His glaring isn't actually getting any less intense here.]

You know that doesn't make it right. You can't act on your worst impulses.

[love_seriously]

I was just kidding...

[particlebarrier]

Well, ha ha I guess.

[...Okay, yeah he's mad. Not necessarily at Floe, but mad.]

[seekingsunrise]

[Wow... okay so yeah he gets why Lance is upset by this but he can't just brush it off like the others do. It is, in fact, a valid solution as far as he's concerned. So he'll just look away and be quiet.]

[particlebarrier]

Hey. Look at me, Tal. Is that really what you think?

[romancekiller]

[clarke hasn't really spoken up yet, she's just tired and kind of not looking too happy at the option of mass murder being suggested] Yeah, it's ridiculous— there has to be a better option to deal with this than that.

[seekingsunrise]

It's a goal, if nothing else.

[Good goals to have, right Boa?]

[finalguard]

[ Juuuuuust ignoring Shirou's voice of reason to give Tal a grin.

Boa doesn't feel like being merciful or even reasonable, revenge fantasies are a nice thing to cling to. ]

[seekingsunrise]

[Look they talked about revising goals. Right now it's just "BURNINATE" Later it can be "reform" or "salvage the goodish ones" whatever.]

[seekingsunrise]

Just because they're world wide doesn't mean they're invincible.

[diesifkilled]

No, but we're not going to take them down by any direct methods. They've kept all of us confined to this camp for two months, remember? And I doubt we've seen the worst that they've got.

[kitchen_witch]

Given what we've seen of what else they're... 'containing',

[She shudders]

If we're to deal with them, we have to take down those horrors so they can't just sic them on us.

[seekingsunrise]

No, we're not going to just walk in and blow everything up but it's nice to dream about. And we can make a difference.

Especially from the inside.

[kitchen_witch]

The in... you're not suggesting-!

[love_seriously]

Then we have reached the limits of my expertise.

[seekingsunrise]

Gods I wish it was that easy.
