[The shadows fade, the living slipping back into clarity for you, their voices and images once again clear, even if you're still having trouble interacting with the physical world for some reason.]

[But sooner or later, a bright flash emanates from the basement, and the living proceed downward once more. Time to descend and watch once more; it's in their hands now.]

TO DE-FEAT

2025-11-14T03:00:31Z

Posted by: wecouldbemods

[As you all gather today- the shadows are bad, I'm not gonna lie.]

[Fog rolls through the manor, the shadows grow dark, and none of the living seem any the wiser. Especially since despite your best efforts, you seem to be unable to haunt them, at least for the time being. In fact, this morning, the living are pale and translucent to the point that you have trouble seeing them at all, and their voices are back to being soft and muffled at best.]

[Which might be a good thing, since twenty shadowy figures begin looming up out of the stairway from the crypts, and none of them look friendly. Ever seen a zombie film? That's the vibe, guys.]

[Maybe you'll be lucky and they're not runners.]

[As promised, the next morning Krauser is up bright and early, heading up to the gym to find a spare set of gym clothes roughly the size of each dead person.

He's not sure how much time they have, but he's going to make the best of it.]

POOL PARTY

Posted by: makeitfit

While the Living have pancakes, the Dead will have tapas and margaritas (alcoholic and non)! Grab a swimsuit from the locker rooms and hit the pool; it's time for a little bit of relaxation before things get crazy.

Locker Room Shenanigans - Knowing this group, there just might be some of those. Or just post your fit! Live your best life.

Food & Drink - There's tapas and some blended drinks to go with it. Margaritas, smoothies, and also fruit juices for those uninterested. What alcohol can be scrounged up has been brought up as well, though it's under the watchful eye of Da Capo, so no sloppy drunks today.

Swimming - Surely nothing will go wrong here and there'll only be some fun splash figh--CANNONBALL!!!

Sidelines - Some chairs and blankets and towels have been laid out for those who would like to sit for a bit. Get comf.

Wildcard - yeehaw

!!FIGHT CLUB!! (Training Grounds)

[ Things are heating up, particularly as the living and those in this "after-life" are gaining more and more information surrounding their situation.

Tartaglia has a sort of...feeling that there is going to be a lot going on and a situation wherein there will be a need for 'all hands in deck' when it comes to throwing hands, some need for general stress relief, or just some good ol' non-stress relief of throwing punches just for the hell of it.

So, he decides to run around the entire place, using his outside voice at some point throughout the week.

In which he says the following:

"Let's do some bonding by throwing hands just because! No pressure, just some good ol' tussling."

"Don't worry, the idea's not to spill any blood. Mostly."

"Or if you want to learn how to throw hands faster, better, and harder when you've got no idea how, there's a chance for that too!"

Because maybe in addition to some fun roughhousing, you just want to learn some real fighting and there's no shame to that, either!

Either way, come Thursday, Tartaglia is getting everybody gathered at the Training Grounds! ]

[The last thing you feel, whether it's at the hands of your assailant, your own doing, or perhaps some clumsy accident for those especially unlucky... The result is the same; you have died. The last of your life force is faulty. It ebbs and slips away from you as you are consumed in darkness. You've met with an unfortunate end, there's no other way to state it.

Nothing, until you open your eyes that is. You're back in your room, how you got there is left unanswered. The pain you feel, felt, is gone within the blink of an eye. With that same blink, you would be forgiven for thinking the mansion had decided to redecorate. Or perhaps there was something wrong with your eyes, but try as you might, it never goes away; this is still the mansion, yes. But there's no colour. Everything around you, save for you, yourself, is a monochrome of grays.

Not you, though. In fact, you seem quite flush with colour - and no longer wounded. Almost as if you never experienced any fatal atrocities to begin with. A miracle? Some act of god? The answer dangles in front of you, filled with more life than the rest of this place, geeze.

But at least you'll remember the way around?]

Spooky Scary Triangles (Classroom) CW: Triangle body horror in the first link

2024-10-31T01:55:55Z

Posted by: igrowmaddened

[ Wednesday night went horribly wrong. Thursday morning was not better.

After being tossed out of the bedroom by a horrified Mark (The poor guy tried to stay out of the prison riot, only to wake up to a Roomba in his bed) Bill proceeded to go into puppet mode, grab whatever he could from the craft room, and proceeded to vent his frustrations on one of the classrooms. This would have spread to other rooms in this locked down hellhole had Roger Rabbit not mistaken his vandalism for decorations... And given Bill ideas.

Several hours later and much redecorating later, Bill calls everyone into the classroom he vandalized for a "Halloween Party." Hint, hint.

Anyone walking in will be greeted by... A mess.

There's a big, wide X scrawled on the wall in several warm colors of sharpie. A horrific triangular abomination is drawn on another wall, grabbing Foundation scientists and guards with its many hands. There's scraps of cut up paper everywhere, and a corner of the room looks like it's been stabbed with a yellow crayon several times.

But hey, it's totally normal decoration! Look, he rearranged the desks into two tables on each side of the room and wrote a fun little sign on the chalkboard: ]

[ Roger helped make the place look more festive and less like a lunatic's cell. Kurumi was roped into catering, and she managed to make some adorable little marshmallow ghost brownies to offset the horrible vibes! There's even several different activities set up... Including something like those flashcards from the last meeting.

Bill may be a lunatic. He may still be plotting vengeance at the moment. But he's also sneaky, unlike several people here. ]

Drawing 101 by Mr. Yang (Classroom)

2024-10-23T15:00:05Z

Posted by: expressblackhole

[ Welt Yang has more or less spoken about plans to host a meeting at first with Bill, but then after some thought, he figures that there is something that could make it more or less a bit more less obvious to their captors that they're up to anything odd. He spreads the word that he will be arranging for there to be a drawing class of some sort, because it would help raise morale - at least that is what it appears to be. It will be held in the classroom.

Clearly, his lingering and meaningful gaze indicates that it is a front of some sort - but, because they're under intense surveillance, Welt wishes to try to be something sneaky...and has gotten inspiration of some sort.

Unfortunately, they can't use outside or a tent for this kind of pretense. So, they will do the best with what he can manage.

Anyway, once everyone has arrived in the classroom, Welt will have stacked desks on top of each other at certain points of the room where he has noticed there are cameras to obscure the sight...somewhat.

Some desks are free of this and are able to be used for proper seating.

There are also papers alongside drawing implements settled on these desks.

Also, the resident android, Turo (now known as Cosme), has decided to provide sandwiches; coffee is also available with water. Other snacks can be brought at anyone's will or desire. ]

I'll be giving everyone introductory lessons on drawing, as well as giving background into the history of art on Earth as a supplementary educational aspect.

[ Like, you know, like he is some kind of diligent art teacher - he was a teacher for some time, so this is actually not too distant from something that he is used to doing, actually.

Please remember, everyone. This will be on the next test. ]

I've also provided flashcards if you all wish to exchange notes with one another.

[ The desks each all have cut out paper, perfectly sectioned like normal flashcards. There's like 100 each for every person. It probably took awhile, but it's whatever. ]

Where The Sun Never Shines

[Unfortunately, you have died. Either at the hands of someone you considered a friend, or perhaps a more terrifying kind of end was in store for you. Either way, your life slips out, bringing a blissful nothingness...

There's a flash, but instead of a light you would walk towards, your eyes behold the harsh fluorescence of ceiling lights. Your body aches, the ghost of previous injuries no longer marked on your skin.

You're... you're not dead. You're alive.

Before you can dive into the confusing state of your existence, the door to this room pushes open and two figures clad in black body armor step in. They're like swat soldiers, from the all-encompassing helmets, to the rifles they're loosely training on you. Until one steps up and grabs you by the arm, "This way. No struggling." They order you in a rough voice pushed through a headset speaker. You have no choice in this matter.

They lead you through a disorienting path, in and out of several doors, until they force you through one last door and it swings shut behind you with the sound of a heavy lock.

You're in some sort of living space, not unlike the previous place you woke up in. The same bland decor, a small selection of rooms to see to your needs. And cameras and apparently the inclusion of armed guards. (There's also a strange mural of you, and your entire group of friends, painted into one of the main walls. Including a couple figures that aren't recognizable).

It seems this is home now. Get comfy.]

[You find yourself- in the polar opposite of Total Drama Island. Perhaps thankfully, but. Indoors. Dark. Brightly lit rooms connected by endless walkways and catwalks.]

[A series of bedrooms, bathrooms, and a dining area provided for you, but beyond that is endless, twisting mystery.]

[Stairways and catwalks don't always lead to the same place, sometimes looping you endlessly between the same two or three rooms.]

[It's all very industrial, and looks a bit abandoned.]

[Welcome to the staging areas.]

The Illusion of Life

[Gosh! You've met an unfortunate turn of events! Whether it was getting knocked over somewhere in town, or in the depths of the gazebo, the result is still the same: you are now no more.

Ain't it swell?

But fast, or slow, you seem to drift off and the colors of the world... drain away. Vibrant hues giving way to drab grays.

And then... you wake up, whole and well, which is quite something given how dinged up you might have been! And good news! You're still in town! Don't mind the colors, they're fine. You're fine too! Strange, huh? For some, you may find yourself wherever you laid down for a while. For others - those of you who've been very, very rude, you'll wake up in the wooden embrace of the gazebo.

Take a breath. Ignore the dull, constant buzz of static from... somewhere out there. You're alright.]

What Comes Nex(t)us

[You're dying. It probably hurts, like a lot. Unless it doesn't, maybe your killer managed to be nice about it. But it still probably sucks a lot.]

[There's a bright light. You have just enough time to think about how people were right, or maybe how stereotypical that is- and then it all turns to a miasma of static. The electronic snow in your vision clears, the buzzing in your ears fades, and you're falling through a tunnel of glowing code and binary. Not falling. Flying? Shooting.]

[Like a rocket, or maybe a bullet.]

[You brace for the inevitable explosion- which doesn't come.]

[Suddenly you're standing, maybe with a lingering lurch of motion sickness, on a solid platform. The place you're in can only be described as cyberspace. It's almost trying too hard to make the look, honestly.]

[Endless platforms and pathways extend into the ether, everything's cubic and glowing and backlit with neon greens and blues. And, of course, Hyperion gold and yellow.]

[Better get used to being a ghost in the machine, you might be here a while.]

[You die. Then you're alive again.]

[At least it feels like you're alive. Either that or being dead feels substantially similar.]

[The good news about feeling that way is that whatever injuries you sustained during your time in the university have been healed, no matter how gruesome. It's like they never happened. Which is useful, seeing as you are no longer in the university.]

[You blink and you're standing on a ruined street, overlooked by buildings in various states of disrepair. There's an entire block here for you to explore - fortunate for you; wandering any further will reveal that the block is surrounded by immeasurably high mountains... made out of fruit.]

The Breakthrough

[Wednesday morning, Joan's voice rings out through the entire Nethersphere.]

HEY FLIPPERS, STUFF'S FINALLY HAPPENING. GET OVER HERE IF YOU WANT A CHANCE OF GETTING OUT.

[And wherever "here" is- the fluorescent lighting in the building here has been inconsistent, at best, but a line of the lights suddenly illuminate, brighter than most new lights, forming a visible path through the building. Following it leads to an inconspicuous door bearing a sign reading 'KEEP OUT', but it's ajar.]

Take a Deep Breath

[And then you wake up.]

[Again.]

[You probably didn't expect to, considering your last memory was probably dying.]

[But at least you're not in Wonderland anymore. Probably. Where you ARE kind of looks like an abandoned business complex? It's got a lot of empty offices, but also a few bedrooms. There doesn't appear to be any power, but if you wait long enough, you might notice that it never seems to actually get dark.]

[The most notable feature is a once-lovely courtyard garden area, now gone to weeds. There's a dried, cracked fountain in the middle, but at least the benches are still solid. And a lot of the weeds are pretty in their own way?]

[You're probably going to be here a while, better settle in.]
