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.

But, that just somehow amuses Merlin even further. Such a drastic change! Though it is also better to be back in action than to be afraid. ]
Mm, I suppose I am, aren't I?
After all of this, I'll make sure to give a proper thanks, okay?
no subject
Good.
[She's still definitely not back to normal, but... it's better than when she had just arrived?]
no subject
Merlin will clap his hands together just once. ]
I assume you don't have any further questions for now, then?
Though, of course, if you have any, or feel like you need me for anything, just shout or track me down. I'll be there to help you sooner than later. We're all in this together, after all~
[ Until this all comes to an end, of course. ]
no subject
Are we really dead?
no subject
No ifs ands or buts about it.
[ He's definitely not joking about that! ]
no subject
B-but then, where are we?
no subject
[ Since he hadn't quite told her the name yet. ]

Not for normal people, of course. So that's one of the many reasons why the stay of everyone here at a place like this is temporary.
After all, it's quite the paradise, though it's not really an exciting place to be for long.
[ Merlin can amuse himself and technically can do the same for the rest, if they should ever request anything, but all the same...it isn't like he's interested in the idea of keeping people here permanently, for a myriad reasons. ]

Legendary individuals with pure hearts, and the like.
[ And other creatures, but Merlin feels that second set is unnecessary to add. ]
Despite whatever roles you all had in your lives before I brought you to this place, none of you here really fit that category.

Merlin inwardly: [press x for doubt]
Still he's allergic to being cruel to ladies. ]
But you're not a legend, sadly.
Maybe someday you'll get there, though!
no subject
[Sniffle.]
no subject
[ Merlin probably shouldn't be encouraging her.
But, hey. Who is there to stop him?
And he did say he'd be helping bringing people back alive! ]
no subject
That's right!
Kanon will just have to become legendary~♪
[Oh good she MUST be feeling better now.]
