POPULATION: GHOST TOWN

You die - and then you wake up.

For a second, it feels as though you can't breathe, and then your head breaks the surface. You crawl out of a pool of blood and into a large, crystalline room. Moving images play across the crystal walls, and if you watch close enough, you'll realize that you're seeing the land of the living; a familiar space station with familiar faces. You can watch these images for as long as you'd like - there are several very large benches (as in, you have to climb them to sit on them) around the room for you to rest on while you do.

Regardless of how you died, it seems as though you're not quite gone completely. You're in one piece, at least. That's good news. However, your surroundings are not exactly what you remember.

When you exit the first room, a bleak, empty city sprawls out ahead of you.

The city itself is large. The framework of it seems to tower higher and higher than you can see, up into the black opal sky that shivers and curls every so often. A river entirely made of blood runs through the city, winding around buildings and ending at the crystal room. The most noticeable thing about the buildings themselves is the fact that thorny vines made of pure white steel dig into the walls and floor, cracking the foundations.

The residential building is worn down and old. It's two floors, and has a few small studio apartments built for one or two people to live in. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. It has a communal area downstairs, but the TV is broken, and the couches are torn apart. Sometimes, this building feels obscenely hot in temperature, and smells like rotten eggs.

The grocery store is your typical convenience store. There's a large selection of food in this area, but it all tastes the same - like chalk. On top of this, every so often there will be bloodstains on the walls, the floor, and the displays. They change in size and location, each time you enter the store.

The clothing store is thrifty in nature. All the clothes here are uncomfortable and scratchy, and don't fit quite right. While you're here, time feels... weird. Distorted, almost dreamy. As you're picking out clothes and trying them on (no money needed, just take what you want), you swear you can hear a gunshot in the distance.

Enjoy your time in this city, and remember...your story isn't quite over yet.

Hey! Omi!

How did you die, where, and who killed you, please!

[housewolf]

In the kitchen, Douman poisoned me with some soup.

[commedia]

[JUST LOOKING SO INCREDIBLY GUILTY OVER HERE]

They...I-I got the poison from Envy in the form of a boon. Envy didn't even go against it, since he had been rejected by Omi earlier in the week and didn't care if he died or not.

[housewolf]

... That's why that happened?

[commedia]

[A sigh.]

Envy was a little doubtful at first when that...Limbo asked, but later gave Limbo the go-ahead because he had been slighted by you rejecting him out of the blue.

[housewolf]

...

[CLOSES HIS EYES REALLY HARD.]

Well we were all aligned to the same thing.

[commedia]

Indeed. Ah, even Limbo had to be careful around Envy...I think that week he was feeling the worst of it.

[housewolf]

... We were all really going through it.

[bachelorbored]

Huh. [gay drama...]

Why Omi, anyway?

[commedia]

...

There was a number of reasons. But in the end...Limbo developed...feelings for Omi, and wanted to test if those feelings were, indeed, "love".

[bachelorbored]

Wait, back up—who's Lumbo?

[commedia]

The "Caster of Limbo". The version of myself that was...possessing my body.

[bachelorbored]

Oh, wow. Yikes. Um.

That sucks.

[bachelorbored]

Oh, wow. Petty.

[housewolf]

[SHRUGS. Death happens.]

What was with all the Toblerone?

[bachelorbored]

You mean, when I died, or just Toblerone in general?

They're the best generally-available luxury chocolate, if that's what you're asking!

[housewolf]

When you died, I know what they are.

[bachelorbored]

Well, uh... first, I froze Ming Yi with my power, then I beat him to death with my big Toblerone, then, just in case, I buried Ming Yi in them in case he survived and tried to come after me!

...But not only did he survive, he got out of the Tobelrone tomb—the Tomblerone, as I've taken to calling it!—and killed me anyway!

Crazy, right?

[kokytos]

 

[bachelorbored]

My feelings exactly!

[housewolf]

[Wha...]

I don't know where to start with that.

[bachelorbored]

Take your time. It's a lot!

[brightred]

You're just not very good at murder! [Grell says, from across the room.]

[bachelorbored]

I don't want to be good at murder!

I wanted to survive!

[commedia]

Uh, but....do you know why your body disappeared like that? I guess you were dead at the time so you wouldn't know...
