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.

[He leans into Beelzebub's touch a little too easily for his liking, but he's very tired.]

I'll be hoping for no more casualties, but...

[No. He needs to have faith in them that they won't mess up like he did.

So he shakes his head.]


How did he manage to reflect everyone's abilities like that?

...Shigaraki just said Overhaul can destroy and repair anything. I wonder if that's part of it.

[A beat, and he repositions himself to keep an arm looped behind Temenos's shoulder and back. Don't fall over on him, now.]

...Just like how he repaired your body.

[Yeah, it's starting to click with him now.]

Destroy and repair... I saw how he reassembled you. Perhaps he broke down and reassembled the dead into himself.

[Just watching that mouth swallow bombs whole and wincing at the visible discomfort on display.]

...They've gotten two of his hands. Maybe if they can down him... they can figure something out to separate everything?

[Overhaul inherited even that, did he? Temenos really didn't want to imagine Beelzebub doing such a thing. His stomach might be unique, but...

Either way, he lifts a hand up to give Beelzebub's at his shoulder a gentle squeeze of support.]


That would be ideal, but I couldn't say how they'd manage it, especially if he was dead.

[Reaching to put his own hand on top of Temenos's in silent thanks. Wow being dead sure makes a guy touchy feely.]

...Maybe that's why Shigaraki wants some kept in one piece? But... what would he do with them? He's been destroying the ones he's got.

[Temenos really wishes he could be happier about it. But it's just so bittersweet reuniting with Beelzebub on the side of the dead.]

I wish I could offer more than mere speculation. We're going to have to see how it plays out.

[He stays silent, watching, but does gently grip Temenos's fingers to guide his hand off his shoulder and to his lips.

They'll see it through together. Even if this isn't the together they wanted.]

[How can he stay upset over the situation when Beelzebub goes and does something like that?

He exhales and turns away from the screen for now, settling into a smile.]


I love you too.

I apologize for not getting to say so sooner.

[Before everything with Kanon and Alice started.]
