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.

it's you
..............well okay then. This makes communication easier, and it's time for an experiment! Seeing as Rhys is understandably distraught over being very dead. Maybe this will help! Or not. That's why it's an experiment. Doing her best to radiate friendliness, Youko approaches. ]
Hi. I heard you talking at the last trial, and I have to say - I'm curious. Will you tell me about Jack?
[ Does Rhys even remember who she is.
...Well he's definitely going to remember from now on. Probably. ]
You made him sound... inspirational.
[ 'Will talking about some fuckboy named Jack cheer Rhys up always?' test start. ]
no subject
he looks over at youko when she addresses him, ready to interrupt and wonder why in the world she's talking to him but! then she asks about jack. his gut twists and he wonders if he should even be talking about jack right now, what would jack even say if he saw rhys being this pathetic? something horrible, probably. ]
Jack... Handsome Jack, actually. He's the CEO of the company I work at, Hyperion. I could tell you about him, but uh... what do you want to know?
[ he still seems a bit hesitant to talk but it's very hard for him to quiet his #1 handsome jack fan self so, he could talk about jack. he sure can. ]
no subject
Handsome Jack, huh? So he's a looker... wait, you said that - [ "he's soooo hot", right...? something like that. ] silly me.
[ The last CEO she was acquainted with turned out to be running a drug smuggling ring and also poisoned her and held her hostage, and Jack didn't sound that much better than her, but. This is for a cause. She'll live. ]
Um... my, where to start. Okay, what's the coolest thing you think he's ever done?
...Dying sucks fuck Zelos [ because he's the easiest to blame and he's shit anyway ] but things are happening, and... well, the first thing is to get you back up on your feet. So. Tell me? What's the coolest thing Handsome Jack's ever done?
no subject
Yeah, he. Uhm. He was really attractive.
[ he was a hot dad and it really did things for rhys, ok. also, jack has poisoned people and held them hostage before too but rhys isn't terribly concerned about that kind of thing. ]
The coolest? Whoa, uh. Probably moving Hyperion to Helios. That's the space station we live on, it circles the planet Pandora since Hyperion takes Pandora's resources to sell them across the galaxy. We wouldn't be on Helios if it wasn't for Jack and it's just... damn, it's a really cool place.
[ but he'll nod at the whole dying sucks thing. that zelos guy, man. rhys never met him but man! sounds like bad news! ]
