GRAVEYARD 2.0


GRAVEYARD


Well, that sucked.

But no matter what your death was like—whether it was something peaceful or traumatic, you'll find yourself waking in a completely white room on the floor. Small and empty, there isn't anything else there besides an open door to walk through. But before you do that, you'll probably notice that whatever injuries you may have had, including whatever may have been the death blow, are now gone. That's exciting.

Stepping out of the room, it seems that you're in a large... house? with three different floors. Everything from floor, ceiling to furniture is completely white, except for the drawings that are plastered to the walls in each room. These are all colorful, drawn in colored pencils and crayon, and resemble a child's drawing. The other notable thing are the windows. While they're present all around the building, looking out of them only shows TV static. Besides that, everything is furnished with the absolute bare minimum of each room.

The first floor is all typical common areas one would find in a house. There's a kitchen, living room area, laundry room, dining room, and a main hallway where the stairs are. There are also helpful drawings in these rooms that show the rooms much more lavishly decorated than they actually are. There's a door that appears to be the way to exit the building, it's locked.

The second floor consists of nothing but twenty bedrooms. Each room has one queen sized bed, an empty dresser, and an attached bathroom with only a sink, toilet, and shower. Like the first floor, each bedroom has drawn pictures that show it looking much more lavish than it actually does. Thanks for nothing, artist!

The third floor only has two rooms. One appears to be a home office with nothing but a desk and two chairs, one behind it and one in front of it. While there's blank pieces of paper and crayons on the desk, the note that was previously there is gone.

The other room is much larger, and it's completely empty save for the many drawings lining its walls— in fact, the walls are covered in them, much more than in any other room. On closer inspection, though, it seems like these aren't actually drawings? The papers seem to be showing scenes from the living area. Everything from inside the hotel to the areas beyond the bridge are visible here. However, when curfew hits on Thursday nights, they revert to being normal drawings! Except for the fact that they're all drawings of stick figures being murdered in various ways.

Well. At least there's plenty of things to draw with, if you get bored.

Also, a handy link to the previous post.

Hydok here's your trauma

[personal profile] lionson 2020-11-17 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey.

Hey Laine.

You ever seen a demon baby before?

Because that sure is a newborn baby, on fire, running along the wall and causing people to burst into flames.

Luckily Shiro IS there for this thread, though he looks much younger now. He also has a sword in his hands and looks eternally tired.

Well shit. You know anything about fighting demons?

flaming baby time

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-11-17 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. [Laine says, watching the chaos.]

Are you trying to kill it? [He has a knife, but he'd rather not kill a baby unless he has to.]
lionson: (049)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-11-17 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well-

[That baby sure did just light someone on fire.]

-I'd rather not die here, I know that much.

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-11-17 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah that's a lot of fire. Laine's looking around for anything that looks like it could help either contain a demon baby or put out its fire.]

Do you remember anything at all about getting rid of it?
lionson: (044)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-11-17 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He holds up the sword he has.]

Stab it in the heart- [Which, if Laine is looking closely, he will see is floating outside of the baby's body.] -and it should neutralize the demon in it. But that kid's only a half-demon, so who knows what'll happen once the demon in him is neutralized.

You any good at swords? I'm alright, but I'm better at guns.
tensecondsahead: (31)

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-11-19 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [He's better with knives, but he can handle a sword.

And he'd rather not risk hurting a kid, but there isn't time, not when there's this much chaos and people bursting into flames. He holds out his hand for the sword.

[Tossing the sword to Laine!]

Stab him in the heart with it. Don't worry about hurting his human half with it. His demon blood means he heals injuries almost instantly, so as long as you don't land a fatal blow he'll be fine. I'll provide some cover fire for you.

[He catches the sword, passes it from one hand to the other quickly to test the weight of it. Steps forward, sword at the ready.

Time to kill a demon.

[Unfortunately, this demon is not going down without a fight. It screams and then starts crawling at Laine at a rapid pace, aiming to attack him straight-on. His heart is hard to reach from this angle too, since he's crawling.

Shiro pulls out a handgun and fires a couple wide shots, aiming to knock the infant off-course and distract him. But Laine with have to attack or dodge soon enough, the baby is coming for him.

[In his own memories, in his own world, Laine is fast. Beyond fast. If that translates to this world, to Shiro's memories, he won't have a problem avoiding that rush, aiming the flat of the sword to knock the child over.

If it doesn't... he'll kick the baby to try and flip it on its back before he tries to stab it in the heart.

[Laine Brick: baby kicker

He does manage to knock the baby back with the sword, but he's not going to be able to stab it right away, because that baby screams and lets out a burst of fire. It feels so hot it could incinerate someone instantly, but no death in dreams so it won't quite hit Laine.

Some poor nameless exorcist off to Laine's right is definitely a pile of ash now though.

What the hell is this thing? [He asks, going for the demon baby again, sword slashing at that exposed demon heart.]
lionson: (078)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-11-20 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[The baby ducks under the sword and starts to climb vertically up the wall.]

I told you, it's a demon-baby! And don't call him a 'thing', that's my son!
tensecondsahead: (35)

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-11-20 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Your son is climbing up the wall! [Laine says, and... considers just yeeting the sword up at the baby, but will for now settle with slashing at it again.]
lionson: (059)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-11-20 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he does that sometimes.

[Slashing at the baby will mess up his balance and knock him off the wall. He lands on his back and starts screaming.

The lights above them break, raining glass down on Shiro, Laine, and the infant. Shiro curses as he tries to protect his head with his arm.

[If Laine gets glass in his eye he's going to be in a lot of trouble, but he's not looking up at the light, he's looking down at the screeching demon baby. He slashes at the heart again, ignoring the shards of glass that slice him as they fall.]
lionson: (055)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-11-20 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[No glass in his eye! Luckily, this stab is enough. The sword goes into the heart, and it's all over.

...yeah, the sword actually disappears into the demon heart, and all the fire disappears. The baby on the ground looks like a normal, crying baby.

Shiro is going to immediately scoop the baby up too.

[You know what, this might as well happen.]

Is he okay?
