Gatchapon

Reflexively, you curl tighter. Just another minute. Just another minute of sleep is all you need, but the sun waits for no one. Wait. The sun? After many days and nights with only moonlight to guide you, your eyes snap open and your pupils contract at the light.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Bask in this euphoria for however long it lasts, until your memory snaps back against your mind like a rubber band. Weren't you dead? No matter how you met your end, you certainly remember dying in vivid detail. The pain that corresponds to the last moment's of your life chooses then to make itself known, trying to wriggle free from your skin almost literally. That mark on your skin wasn't there before either.

Take a moment to breathe and get your bearings, and really take everything into focus. The warm rays of sun that dance upon your skin are colorful and fragmented like a kaleidoscope, the effect of being filtered through stained glass. Of all the places to wake up, it seems you're inside a church that's no stranger to you, St. Mary's Basilica. While the odds are good you've woken up with company somewhere near by, the glint of gold from the altar will likely catch your attention regardless—embedded deep in the altar stands a golden staff, two sculpted wings draped down its sides.

While some things are the same, and some things are different, there are still more questions than answers. But the inscription engraved into the roof of the ceiling of the Church, now visible in proper lighting seems rather apt: Welcome to Krakow (again).

SECOND WEEK

[umbralant]

[youspinmeknightround]

[When Suzaku opens his eyes to the sun after all this long, the colored light bathing him through the windows looks so beautiful that for a second he mistakes it for an embodiment of his judgment. An end that is not oblivion - he hadn't dared to hope for the chance to see Euphie again, while he was alive, but...

Well, obviously he was right to do so, because as he comes to his senses he is still in Krakow. He's shaken by this - confused, even betrayed, hands forming anxiously into tight fists. Could Lelouch's curse on him have sunken so deep as to make a wandering ghost of him, killed and yet still living? No - he soon realizes that he's not alone in the church. Whatever went wrong with his death, it's got to be due more to the mysteries of this city. He rises, taking slow, soft steps away in hopes of not waking Lysithea. He doesn't know much about what happened - maybe she even attacked first - but he'd like her to experience the relief of survival without having to look at his wretched face first.

So, now he's in the streets, taking in the mysterious twilight. His first thought is to go into his room and see if it's how he left it, same items he's squirreled away and all. It feels very strange to walk through the city like this, illuminated yet even emptier than it was before. The dizziness he feels only adds to the sense of unreality as he explores place after place. Feel free to run into him anywhere, he's lowkey enjoying that he can explore now without worrying about a broken foot.]

[tokihanate]

[ 'Sup Suzy. Unfortunately, ojou-san isn't here to talk to you right now and give him potential high hilarity, but he did say he'd talk to him and Miss Lisa about anything they've found out so here he is.

So he comes by with a wave of his hand. ]

Hello again.

[youspinmeknightround]

[He's outside the castle when he runs into Hyobu, still looking a bit wobbly but doing his best to stand tall in the face of all this bullshit.]

Mr. Hyobu, I see. Hello... [Even though he's in the same boat, he has to admit it's still a little shocking to see him on his feet again after being shot to death. He didn't technically remember his own death so it was marginally possible for it to have been avoided, but this feels like the nail in the coffin. Both good and bad, to him.]

I didn't expect being dead would place us right back at square one. Have you noticed a week pass?

[does death have time?? VERY hard to tell in perpetual twilight, even more than perpetual night really.]

let's GO eXpLoRiN'

[tokihanate]

[ Though he's having a hard time walking straight lately, let's go anyway!! Since he last left off the science museum, the next closest would be the botanical gardens. That sounds pleasant doesn't it? Probably won't be! ]

[umbralant]

[ Actually the foliage is pretty nice! Stop and smell the flowers ojiisan, you're free to walk around here as you please aside from the one locked greenhouse. ]

[tokihanate]

[ There's no time like the present so no stopping to smell the roses. Keyyyy? ]

???

[umbralant]

[ You might notice it right away or it might take you a while, but either way you'll notice that the fog around the tram station has retreated significantly. Seems like you can get further along the tracks then you were able to before.

Explore? ]

[tokihanate]

[ His speciality by now! ]

[youspinmeknightround]

Is something in there?

[he sees Hyobu going that way but he's never bothered a lot with the tram station so he doesn't know the difference]

T-Rex A'Roarin

[umbralant]

[ It's been about a day since the power has been restored to Mc Donalds and the Science Museum. Enough time to work out how to control the T-rex, and to watch the living go about their lives through the flame.

So far there's been no sign that the power has been restored to the other side, but sometimes this things take a while. In the evening (for any sense of evening in this place) one lone light flickers on in one of the fish tanks on the other side.

Take your places everyone. ]

[youspinmeknightround]

[Suzaku is in the control panel where the animatronic is controlled from, manning the soundboard for the animatronic.]

Let's begin. Say what you want to say, and I'll translate it to morse.

[tokihanate]

"Hi Pizza, Rean, and the rest of you all from the Twilight. " [ It's too bad you're the one going for it Suzy, but alas. He has his fire out to watch the reactions. ]

[umbralant]

[ Click, click, click.

Someone has returned with her high heeled boots and amidst all the roaring and discussion she just. Stares. As much as someone can stare with a half-helmet obscuring her eyes, but still. ]

...what is this nonsense?

[tokihanate]

Ojou-chan! [ Waves waves ]

[youspinmeknightround]

[Suzaku is now pressing buttons vainly on the control remote and glancing between it and Hyobu's flame.]

Damn it... why'd it stop now- [oh, it's an ojou-san] Ah, are you miss "Ojou?" We were contacting the living, just now.

[was it you. did you short us out for a mcflurry]

[contrabandit]

Ghosts have to do what they must.

ghost(s) reacting to meeting

[tokihanate]

[ Since he didn't get to see last week's meeting, he figures he'll sit in for this one and.... there's remmy-wemmy. ]

Are you all nuts.

[tokihanate]

Wow~ people are walking out. Way to go~ [ If he weren't being a defiant little shit, he'd be sipping some nice cold milk or something. Apparently it's funnier than he even though and he just. laughs. to himself. ]

later in the week, after stuff happens: a meeting of sorts

[contrabandit]

[ just going around twilight town yelling: ]

Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!

[ and if people follow elliot's calls and wonder how he's still moving if he can't get up - and also why does his voice get further and further away, what's going on, elliot why - they will eventually end up in his room. he sits at the foot of his bunk, surrounded by all the extra sheets he stole from everyone else's rooms. next to him is a plate with a couple of jelly sandwiches, a pitcher of milk, and a couple of empty cups. plus this notebook. ]

It looks like I've chosen to stay, uh, down, so I don't need help getting up - sorry, not sorry about lying. You might as well join me. Sit!

[tokihanate]

What you up to? [ He glances at the notebook. He probably staggered here but that's fine, sitting is nice. ]

[youspinmeknightround]

[what did he fall on top of, a runaway go-kart???? Suzaku follows it though and sighs when he sees Elliot is just here being normal. Why]

I'd have come if you invited me normally, you know?

[Checking out the open notebook as he sits tho]

Oh, this is well done.

[noellemadic]

...I guess I have no more choice, since I came all the way here.

[She shrugs, looking around like she just the door she had passed through a moment ago]

How unfortunate. I can only listen to you. What's up?

Trial popcorn II

[umbralant]

Two victims this time? Tch. [ Uninpressed as ever. ]

[youspinmeknightround]

[Suzaku will watch. Two people have died here, it's the least he can do.]

How many people left this bar... I wonder if Mr. Sirius's wings would factor in?

[can he, like, fly. Suzaku didn't know the dude]
