(no subject)

You awaken to blackness. Frightening, although familiar--this is the same terrible thing you narrowly avoided during your first trip into Lebensbaum. The pain of your death is still real, echoes of the wounds you suffered appearing on your skin. Inspecting your surroundings will tell you that you've woken up inside of the cooled, empty bonfire pit....and the town as it was is nowhere to be seen.

The sky is a whirlwind of blank, dark void. What previously acted as roadblocks on either side of the town seems to have moved upward, blocking out most of the sun's light. The street is barren, filled with piles of broken concrete, shattered glass, and smoking craters where many of the buildings used to be. Old bloodstains dot the pavement, mixing in with overturned cars and crumbling brick walls. Lebensbaum is a dead town, in more ways than one.

Except for the hotel. It stands, as dusty and abandoned as it ever was, but no worse for the wear. Scorch marks can be seen on the ground around it in a clear border, as though it had a barrier protecting it from whatever destroyed the village. If you venture inside, everything is in its place, as though the outside wasn't completely obliterated.

The living can be seen walking around, going about their daily lives, and if you concentrate, you can even see the buildings as they once were--in working order, clean, and in one piece.

As of Monday on Week 10, however, there is a door, seemingly pasted into the middle of the street. As the days tick by, the doors will increase in number, one for each victim.

[ rhys is definitely grateful for that lack of bodyslam because gilbert, he is a poor roboweenie who can't take that much. when he feels the hand on his shoulder, he looks up to see gilbert and it's a weird sort of relief to see him again. the last time he saw gilbert, it was his head stuck on a record player and missing way too many teeth. it turned his stomach and made him feel nearly hopeless and yet, here he is again -- fine and whole and... dead.

but they're dead together, at least. the thought makes rhys let out a quiet, wry laugh and he's just going to pull gilbert in for a hug now, alright? take that hug, gilbert. you are his bro and he's happy to see you again, despite the circumstances. ]

[HE'LL TAKE IT, GLADLY. Even though it's a shitty reunion in that everyone is dead, he still appreciates the fact that they're able to have a reunion at all. He'd missed everyone, okay, haunting people is just not the same.

So he'll return that hug and pat Rhys's back a couple of times, a one-two of kinda-sorta-comfort.]


Take all the time you need to find your footing here. If you need anything, let me know, alright?

[ it really isn't! rhys is grateful for the hug and gives a relieved sigh when he pulls away, feeling a little bit more settled now even if he's still kind of unnerved from the whole death thing. at gilbert's words, he nods. ]

Thanks, Gilbert. You really are a nice guy, aren't you?
stupidly: (nah)

I don't know about that...

[He'll deny this until the bitter end okay, but also, he was at one point totally on board with Break's "let's just kill as many people as possible" plan SO, YOU KNOW.]

But I know it's- ...it can be difficult here, even if we still haven't lost yet.
