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.

There they go indeed!

[ It's painful, and honestly, it's still going to be hard.

But, if they all work together, then surely they can come up with something... ]


Look at them. I knew it'd be good to keep the faith~

After all, they're not the type to give in so easily.

[ Yeah, Merlin is still keeping a bit cheerful despite the dumpster fire that's happened. But, luckily, he also has experienced staring at humanity's extinction in the face and telling it to figuratively go fuck itself.

...

Well, not actually, but the sentiment is there. ]

Mn. The few I was most worried about... it sounds like they took what I told them to heart. At least for right now.

[He toys with the handcrafted pendant around his neck, one he had been wearing at his execution.]

It looks like they're willing to put a lot of faith in you, Merlin.

Oh? Was it a rousing conversation about defeating those two or something~?

[ The administrators, he means. As for the other comment... ]

Ahahaha, yeah! They are.

As they should, honestly. After all, I'm the one and only great Merlin. A genius of magic, with skills unparalled! [ He's getting a little louder...help. He's actually a little embarrassed at some of the things they have said about him but he's not going to say that. ] Compared to me, those birdbrains are nothing!

They'll all be praising me when everyone is back alive for sure~ Ahh, I can't wait!

[...]

You're very loud.

[SIGHS. It's fine, it's just probably that incubus blood.]

I kept it simple. I've never been good at speeches. But at least I could make some things clear, and encourage them to not withdraw or try to do this on their own.

I trust them to take it from here.

[ Merlin looks even proud of it, managing to just let out another laugh...

Yeah, some things don't change. ]


That's the right attitude! After all, as long as your heart is in it and they listened to what you had to say, it'll surely reach them...

Already I can tell the push from each and every one of us has helped so far.
passetemps: that it was good as it was (the cat knew all along)

[ ... ]

I think you will find that people tend to be more willing to offer praise to those who don't seek it out, even when it is undeniably well-deserved.

[ though, like. it's said with fondness. ]

[ Merlin lets out a different kind of laugh; perhaps a bit softer. After all, he can hear that fondness, which makes him pleasantly a bit embarrassed. ]

Ahaha, but already you just praised me in a way~?
passetemps: (ultimately...buying a lot less cat food)

[personal profile] passetemps 2023-06-21 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I did. Was it not satisfactory?

[personal profile] mysticpowerbroker 2023-06-21 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
No! It was...more than satisfactory.

[ Ah, now he's definitely blushing even if you have to squint to see it in this icon ...maybe (definitely) he's still a disaster, so it is easy to tell he means it. ]
