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.

It's for my safety, these ears can jab.

[ He's just amused. ]

Alright, how do you want me to eat it then?

[nodo]

If you're afraid of some pointed apple peels jabbing into you then I won't help you with that.

[ there's a limit to what minor injuries that law will care about...and honestly? it's really only the major ones he really invests in. ]

...I don't know. You were the one to call it "brutal".

[kokytos]

[ Stop, Steven's poor mouth. You could afford caring a bit more. ]

And I gave you an alternative! But I guess there's just no saving it, food is food.

[nodo]

[ he's plenty caring???? steven has his own pocket doctor?????? ]

Food is food whether it's enjoyable or not. [ and with that he'll casually hold out a helping of some of steven's food out for him to eat. yes, this time he is in fact trying to feed steven. .....he's just not making a huge scene about it.



please do not perceive him. ]

[kokytos]

[ Please care him doc uwu.

He just eyes Law though. Caught between taking it sincerely and messing with him. It's a tough decision, but given the weekly effect, he ends up just leaning in and having the apple be fed to him, thanks. ]

[nodo]

[ we both know he does............

and steven can eye him all he wants, law will have his best poker face on even after he takes the apple bunny from him. there will be no opportunity to do it in return as law immediately shoves one into his mouth to eat.

also wow? the weekly effect only kicks in if he means to be mean?? ]

[kokytos]

[ Yeah and Steven has a penchant for wanting to bully certain types of people sometimes. Law is one of them. Not in a serious way of course, but still. And listen I want this to happen. ]

What, you're not gonna let me return the favour?

[nodo]

[ :/ ...that's valid i guess. shame law only threatens people he truly wants to threaten. but ah.


hmm. he didn't foresee this for some reason. ]

...isn't cooking for me enough?

[kokytos]

Oh, so your trade-off to me making you food, is to hand-feed me back something I made you like I'm a pet?

[ He leans in with a grin. ]

[nodo]

[ hmm. would be better if he leaned back but he's not going to move and instead just stubbornly munch on another apple bunny.

yeah? yeah. ]

Is that how you're seeing it?

[kokytos]

[ Law your stubbornness. Steven just snorts. ]

Maybe...

[nodo]

[ it's one of his finer??? qualities.... ]

You'd really think that I'd see you as a pet?

[kokytos]

Oh my God, Law. [ He scoffs, and gives him a light push. ] I'm kidding. Joking. Come on.

[nodo]

[ ...

...


...

he'll just...nudge the plate of food or apple bunnies a little towards steven. do not perceive him entirely. ]

[kokytos]

[ ... ... ...






Snrk.

And then a laugh. Just a burst of laughter.

Alright, then. He'll spare Law any comments, and just pick up one of those slices and hold it up for him. With a grin. ]

[nodo]

[ LOOK IT'S FOR THE INDULGENCE........they need to be cute or. something.

that said he's totally going to avoid eye contact because again this is for the indulgence!!! he doesn't need to say anything whatsoever because the laughing is absolutely enough!!! thanks!!!!

that said he will open his mouth and...allow himself.....to be fed......he guesses?? unless steven will make him lean in for it then he's not going to do that. ]

[kokytos]

[ Honestly this is disgusting. It only fuels him to be even more of a shithead when Law CLEARLY AVOIDS EYE CONTACT!!!

And he just feeds him the bun. Good job Law. ]

[nodo]

[ "i can't believe steven and law can be so cute"....

AND YEAH. he's going to keep avoiding eye contact while he eats the apple too because he doesn't want to see how smug(??) steven looks while he does so. also non blush. ]

[kokytos]

[ WHO ARE YOU QUOTING???

Law you're one hell of a loser you know that? Eat your goddamn fruits and vegetables. ]

[nodo]

[ IT'S A PLAY ON "i can't believe my little sister can be this cute"??? but with no trace of creep or incest.

ALSO CEASE. he eats his fruits and veggies just fine, thanks. he just...all of this. it's only one apple bunny, right? he won't try anything else? ]

[kokytos]

[ IM NOT AWARE OF THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL AND IM GLAD IM NOT WOW

How about multiple apple bunnies. Though he will grin like a shithead, taking advantage of Law's massive tsundere vibes right now. ]

Your other food's getting cold.

[nodo]

[ GLAD FOR YOU.


and...law will accept the multiple bunnies. hate this. hate this so much. i refuse to get out of bed to fetch icons off of my pc for a blushing law so he is still not blushing.


but he will be dying here and mumbling something. grumpy full tsundere (apperently) law. ]

[kokytos]

Hello? Laaaaw.

[ Knock knock, you gonna stay full tsun forever? Steven's going in for the kill here. ]

Do I have to feed you the fish too?

/2

[nodo]

[ closes mein eyes. ]

N, no! I'll be fine to feed myself now! I didn't need your help before either.

[nodo]

[ and...

boy isn't that outburst fucking tsun as all hell? the speed of which is dawns on law of just how painfully tsun it was is near instant. oh the feeling of being mortified.....why did he go and remove his hat.


only side glances now. help.


actually no, he's just going to rest his head on the table. he hates this so much. ]
