WEEK 3

WEEK 3

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

Another week, another set of bodies to add to the pile. Two lured in by The Lady's machinations, and another two done in by misfortune; six of your number are dead already. Who knows who it will be the next time? And for what reason? Nevertheless, there’s no choice but to keep pushing on in your own way; whether that means barricading yourself inside your room for the rest of your stay, leaving artwork of your fellow Survivors around the housing area, or eating all the raw meat in the vicinity… well, everyone deals with things differently.

Either way, you understand the drill by now, yes? Another portion of the city reveals itself as the fog retreats yet again, lampposts lighting the way to the new areas as usual. The full moon wanes to half this week too, so make the most of it.

[[Welcome to Week 3! Note that new areas have been added, and can be found under the Week 3 tab on our Locations page. Once again, feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. You can also privately contact The Lady or Rembrandt.]]

Hm... what's the easiest way to put it so everyone will get it....? [he folds his arms in his sleeves, tilting his head to one side] So, when a person dies, their soul is freed from their body, right? So this is how it goes in my world -- that Soul is supposed to shuffle off to another plane, either Soul Society or Hell depending on how they lived. Shinigami help guide those that become lost.

But sometimes, they don't make it in time... or a Soul is particularly angry or sad or has unfinished business. That Soul begins to rot from the inside out. Their hearts collapse in on themselves [he touches his own chest as he speaks], and they're overcome with intense emptiness. They turn into monsters and seek to fill that emptiness by eatin' everything and everyone they can. Other Souls, then eventually other Hollows.

[reanbeans]

...That sounds awful. It's good that there are people out there who can help those in a condition like that.

[ Because like seriously. Ouch. ]

But, you're right. It sounds like those creatures could share some similarities with a 'Hollow'.

[moonfang]

Yeah. That's a Shinigami's other duty. By destroying a Hollow with a Zanpakutou -- like yours truly! -- a Shinigami can cleanse them of their rot and sins and make them a normal Soul again.

[he frowns and looks up at the now silent robot]

The irony is that if I had my normal powers, I might be able to do the same for those creatures.

[reanbeans]

...It sounds like you have your work cut out for you even back home.

[ Just because once again thinking of Ulquiorra. ]

It is a little. As it is, though, we'll have to probably find another way to deal with them.

[moonfang]

Thankfully Ichigo does most of the runnin' around. I just get swung, hehehe.

They're definitely a bigger pain in the ass than I suspected at first.

[reanbeans]

At least he probably doesn't need to worry about getting out of shape.

[ ... ]

...They really do seem like they'd be rather formidable, even though I haven't really fought one of them.

[ But he'd at least expect it, considering what Erik's said of the one he encountered. ]

[moonfang]

They have numbers, and size, and tenacity on their side. And I ain't even sure they're fully corporeal.

[reanbeans]

We'll have to continue being careful if we should encounter them, then. We really don't know the full extent of their abilities.

[pr159]

[ Frowns... He already knows that isn't how it works in his own world since Origin's still handling the soul purification process, but he still doesn't really like the implication that he'd be a Hollow in another world, or that he has anything in common with these dumb shadow things!! ]

[moonfang]

[he sees you deep in thought, Rideaux, but he doesn't say anything]
