.GRAVEYARD

GARDEN OF AVALON


[🎵]

There is a moment of silence. That is all there is, following the end one meets, but it is wrong to say that nothing else proceeds afterward. Indeed, upon the deceased opening their eyes, there's a feeling like settling into a body that has not yet crossed over, and an undeniable bright scene in front of them.

Is it heaven? Is it purgatory? These are the questions that may unfurl when faced with a bright, vibrant sky with pleasant colors, and soft clouds. Alongside this pleasing sight are picturesque rivers, running around fields of flowers mixed with lively greenery that seems to extend to distances behind one's comprehension. But, make no mistake—there are large trees dotted here or there, where someone might feel compelled to lie under given how welcoming they look.

Perhaps most striking, however, is the floating tower, that seems currently unreachable no matter how close anyone nears it. Does it need to be blocked off with an invisible shield? Honestly, no. But nobody knows that, and maybe no one will figure it out either, despite how many times they will ask who frequents it...who so happens to be standing outside of it, but also nearby. Huh.

Who's that? Well, that's—

Merlin, Mage of Flowers
💮

What a shock, isn't it? To see someone like Merlin so soon. Yet, he hardly seems perturbed, as he says, "Oh, so you've come! What a terrible fate you've been met with. But, don't worry, there's plenty of things to keep you occupied with.

What do I mean by that, you ask? I mean yourselves, of course! And, yes, by the way, you're still dead. So sorry about that. If you need anything, though, just call my name and I'll be there."

Beat. "Probably."

Then he disappears helpfully in a flurry of petals, not even saying where this is. Wow, helpful, isn't he? But, you have more than enough time to explore, at least. And hey, where did that random shack come from far off in the distance? If one goes in, they'll find a random bookcase inside, filled to the brim with fairytales that automatically replenishes if all books have been read with new ones. In addition, there's a random 'fan magazine' of the super popular idol Magi☆Mari; a beautiful white-haired young woman with purple eyes. Huh, why does she look familiar?

...Anyway, at least this will all keep one occupied.

As a side note, off to the distance are a a massive gathering of trees, but whenever one tries to approach them they can't seem to actually get close. How obnoxious! Looks like you'll have to just continue to admire your surroundings of pink flowers, one or two solitary trees, rivers, and other flora for miles on end.

As of 'Week 3', there is now an additional, cutesy shed in the Garden of Avalon that can be accessed for arts and crafts materials. Sewing kits, canvasses, painting materials, paper, you name it! There also is a shelf full of lube as well, for your needs. They will have a hint of a flower scent.

As of 'Week 4', the forest is glowing and can at some point be entered for funtimes.

By 'Final Week', there is a small little cottage of some sort that has appeared, which is ridiculously more spacious once walked into. It appears to be like a little free-for-all clothing store, except everything is free of charge. The styles range from cutesy pink, stylish, fancy, and to even towards the gothic side of things...but also there is a spot filled with make-up and the like! Do you want to look pretty in death? No worries, you too can shine here as well with beauty products found along the shelves, and of course mirrors alongside changing rooms for your convenience.

There are also knitting tools, for those wanting to really step up their skills.

Additionally, in this large 'cottage', there are private changing rooms with mirrors and a plush long seat to sit down if you want to for whatever reason. The doors lock once someone is inside and the door is closed.

Lastly, for those feeling 'adventurous', they would also happen to find costumes. Sexy ones, likes nurses, maids, and the like, but also silly 'scary' ones like a t-rex and a sheet ghost.

The forest has also stopped glowing, and upon entering it give you view to a beautiful lake surrounded by trees (sans mist.) The sky is still a fantastical color, and taking a soak at any time is possible.

However, on the other side of the forest, is a field of beautiful blue flowers, and a perpetually midnight sky.

[sounds like a skill issue]

Ask Merlin?

Just make sure there's food.

[ He just ends up laughing, and answers even if it is a question that doesn't need answering... ]

You can say it makes life interesting!

What point did our deaths solve that they were worthy, but this betrayal is not? It is all an act of anger and fear. We are cornered prey tossing the "guilty" to the wolves to avoid finding ourselves in their teeth.

To pretend otherwise is an insult to those who have died.

[As far as she's concerned everyone who was at a trial to begin with might as well have killed the culprit and the victim both. Morality is a human concept that she finds vile, but she has her own beliefs still.

She's also not very smart and isn't thinking the consequences through at all.]

[Alecto frowns, she seems to appreciate Merlin's version more because Merlin clearly detests the Butcher.

Alecto doesn't, not any more than she detests any human, but there is no love.]


I suppose a unification in hatred is better than nothing.

Do you think they mean to execute my necromancer as well? When the birds are dead?

[She sounds worried about this.]

[ Not out of morality's sake, but simply just because of the targets he picked, yep. ]

I don't think so.

In the end, after they deal with those two, I earnestly believe people will just be...tired. There will be enough blood spilt and damage done due to everything, to say the least.

[ He doesn't know for sure, but the odds are fairly low. As for Billy, he doesn't know either, but his guess is about the same. ]

How horribly naïve.

Humans never tire of the blood.

[personal profile] mysticpowerbroker 2023-06-21 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Merlin is the last person to say that humans will not seek revenge or spill blood, but for the other comment... ]

Hmm, it's not really naiveté.

Humans are surprisingly resilient creatures. But, they also have limits.

You must also understand that a confrontation against two powerful enemies won't leave people with much strength for the after.

Never said that the deaths here are worthy, either. Believe me, I was angry that I died. But in the end, killing Lobelia a couple of times was a worthless effort. A selfish need.

[sometimes you kill a guy and its like wow. that did nothing!]

This whole mess isn't "right". The true culprits are the one who threw us in this cage to begin with. You're correct on the cornered prey thing, though. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Hah, two in one night, then? How delightful. I'm sure the others will lose their heads trying to get to the bottom of it.

[Oh, he's so sad to miss it. And as for Kallamar's question...]

All that's living is able to die. You just have to make an effort. And an effort was made. Not that I could go down so easy, but wouldn't it have been boring otherwise?
skyworp: (speaking in tongues)

[personal profile] skyworp 2023-06-21 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Not despite. Because. I would've preferred victory, yes, but I had rather a fun time.

[And that is truly all that matters.]

And now? Supposedly dead - but I can move, I can talk, and not surrounded by nothing. I can enjoy myself yet. Until a way out presents itself, of course.

[He has high hopes...first he escapes the no-place, now he thinks he can cheat death...?]

You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

[ oh. it vaguely crosses his mind that he should have been better about remembering to shave.

the kiss feels more natural than he would have expected — though then again, they'd sort of been building up to this for the past week — and despite his utter lack of experience, he instinctively returns it without hesitation. this will be another art to pour his passion into and perfect, he supposes.

when he eventually pulls back and opens his eyes, there's a sheepish smile on his face. ]


I, uh...

[ lightly clearing his throat and looking to the side... but he gives the hand he's still holding a gentle squeeze. ]

...There are still others I need to see here, and I need to collect my thoughts so that I can explain that night's events to Lacus as soon as possible.

But, after that... I will come and find you again.

[ Just ask Merlin and he can absolutely get something for that!

If it's a little ticklish, he's not going to mind either way. He's just extraordinarily happy that the other man returned to him the kiss. With or without experience, the sheer emotion, and simple meaning behind the action delights him. More than anything, it feels like.

As if the sun has risen over the mountains and its light spilled past their peaks.

That being said...his own cheeks are darkened with a happy blush, even as the other pulls away, looking to the side. He feels the squeeze, and lightly slides a finger over the other's in a brief, but gentle innocent caress. ]


Haha, of course. I'll have more than enough time to spend with you.

[ His expression remains warm despite him reluctantly pulling his hand away. He doesn't want to keep Zelkov from doing what he needs to do. ]

If you don't see me when you come looking, just call my name, okay?

[ Merlin will be there in a heartbeat for him. No matter what. ]

[ Skywarp's quite the unique individual...he's learning that one real quick. ]

Wow, what a view. You really do seem like a glass half-full kind of guy!

I wouldn't be surprised if you've thrown some incredible parties in your time. But, you're right.

[ Then again, maybe his experiences factor into it as well... ]

I do, actually! I'm the one responsible for helping you guys come back to life.

Though, you all can help out in your own ways too. Mostly by hanging out with each other, or if we need to do something, helping out too...all which will be counted as efforts as returning to the land of the living.

This is ridiculous...

[ But here he is, sitting down to fix the damned glass. ]

At least this doesn't seem too difficult. It broke apart in large enough chunks...

I am sorry.

I know what it is to have your mind violated.

I still love you.
