THE LOST DAYS... Round 2.

[mind_blown]

It's all darkness.

The feeling of nothingness, of being nothing. Of not existing. You have no thoughts, you will never have any thoughts again. While that fact is not comforting, because you cannot be comforted anymore, it is true.

There's a certain rest to being... nothing. And to both knowing and not knowing, that your time is done.

So it's all the more unfortunate when you feel, because you shouldn't feel. And the feeling is burning in your lungs, which you shouldn't have. Because you are- or were- nothing.

And then, you inhale a desperate gasp of air and open your eyes...

You find yourself in what looks like future is now's main dorm room. It's a perfect replica, nothing seems off... at least not until you find the first signs of wear and tear at the edge. Then it becomes easier to identify hints of BAD END's dark greys where fin's silver usually is. But that's not that surprising, is it?

What is surprising is that there seems to be... a purple flower growing along the walls? As you walk down the hall, it's faint at first. And then the flower grows like a vine. A weed, along the walls, its presence strongest once you get to where Jason's room would be. Which, you realize, you feel like you've walked longer than expected? As though the change had dragged out the length of the hallway. But when you look back, you see-- an even more overtaken room. What had been a perfect replica of fin's main dorm is now almost reminiscent of a garden.

Just this same flower, over, and over again.

Asshole.

What is with these flowers?

[ speaking of which, she's going to very carefully cut through the vine at intervals with her knife. it's clearly bad news. ]

Re: IMEEJI

[idolpro]

Well, she is able to keep calm and carry on that for some reason, the vine's emotional pull just... doesn't phase her. And as she cuts, she sees the flowers at intervals start to... well, die.

It's almost anti-climactic after the Asylum.

[ neat. it turns out being pissy at an external thing is a great temporary fuel versus having to deal with any kind of sadness, and also, local woman has great self-esteem actually thanks

she yanks at some of the withered vines with each hand, pulling their trails off the wall as she goes. ]

Re: IMEEJI

[idolpro]

Wow, she's really bringing some life and color back into the FiN dorm? Like, she may actually start to hear the sounds of people-- and she may also notice some subtle hints of BAD END in this dorm that most definitely do not belong.

Like the #aesthetic furniture.

Hm.

Re: IMEEJI

[widenessofthesea]

[ ...hm indeed.

she's particularly attuned to notice that because she lives there, but, well. isn't that supposed to be bad for people, to not stick to their unit image?

perhaps it is time to READ A BAD SITUATION. roll+sharp=12, please tell me THE FACTS. ]

Re: IMEEJI

[idolpro]

The facts are as such: this is Jason's heart dorm unit.

The touches of BAD END are minor. After all, the dorm is overwhelmingly FiN. He knows where he belongs. It's just hard to forget where you came from.

And if she approaches the BAD END side of things, there are definitely... complex, confused feelings. But also feelings of resignation.

And they are faint.

Re: IMEEJI

[widenessofthesea]

[ well, really...

...who is she to judge if he wants to hold onto a little bit of that?

Actually, where is his room, anyway? ]

Re: IMEEJI

[idolpro]

It's further down the hallway, and covered in vines.

But if she can keep her cool, she could probably get inside!

Re: IMEEJI

[widenessofthesea]

[ the vines can suck it. roll+cool=11 ]

Time to get personal.
