Cabin

housing




Home sweet home, or in your case, a dilapidated building. Of course, nothing is stopping you from finding shelter elsewhere, but at some point you must have stepped into this building or slept under its roof, so this is home; while it's not very plush, do you really want to risk sleeping outside?

There is also a small plaque on your mailbox with everyone's names engraved on it. Trying to deface it will result in more papercuts, for some reason. The names read:

Asa Mitaka, Ashlyn Banner, Aqua, Daan, Iwatooshi, Marian Hawke, Robin, Rondo

By your sleeping arrangements, there are chests to hold whatever items you opt to place in them, which cannot be publicly accessed like the rest of your house. Otherwise, guests are free to come and go or sleep over, though going over the maximum suggested occupancy will be uncomfortable and cramped. Guests will also be unable to access to this post. Characters are also free to stay at any of the other housing locations, with the same stipulations.

Feel free to use this post for any resident gatherings, updates, etc!

For your easy reference: A small, wooden cabin with only four bedrooms. The chipped wood is worn, often dusty at the crevices, and prone to creaking. The windows have a grimy film on them, masking the view from outside and within. The simplicity belies the occasional strange groan of floorboards, or moving shadows across the wall. A perpetual chill permeates the building at night, and anyone plagued by insomnia can sometimes see a dark figure watchfully peering into one of the windows before it vanishes. Each room has two rickety beds, and the cabin can sleep up to eight reasonably. A chest sitting at the end of the hallway has a few extra thread-bare blankets and four magically lit lanterns. Outside around the corner are two plain outhouses for those who need daily quiet time.

Out front, a large, wooden mailbox sitting on a sturdy pole. There is enough room for all deliveries for every individual assigned to this housing.

To the northeast, a stream curves south, making for prime pool party real-estate, or even a place to bathe. Just don’t swim after dark.

[ Hey guys I hope you all still actually gather every now and then. He's knocking on your doors and getting your attention. He'll show you all a neatly handwritten copy of a pretty long note. ]

I got something you all should probably take a look at.

—ter what happened today, I don't think you could call this place safe by any stretch of the imagination. We've seen it react now in nearly a hostile way to our presence, and I don't know how long we can stay. Even so, the fact that it exists at all is beyond my expectation.

I suspect some of them want to reach out and make contact with the others, to ease their grief. I understand. But on the other hand, the cult realizing that this place exists—that there might be any space, no matter how small, that they cannot observe—would be catastrophic. What little safety and advantage we do have would be forfeit, and the cult is likely to wipe the slate clean and start over. And in truth, I have no proof that there's a way back.

So, is it worth hoping that they can keep a secret? Perhaps it is cruel, but I want to err on the side of caution.

Thoughts? It's been suggested to me that it's probably better if this isn't widespread too much, and given this clause [ tapping the part talking about the cult ] I think that'd be wise.

[ her brows furrow. ]

Of course, I'll keep it close, but...

By others, to ease their grief...?

[ what is this implying ]

[personal profile] recession 2024-07-03 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Peculiar, isn't it? The mention of the cult and wiping the slate clean, presumably in regards to the ritual, suggests it is directly related to us... and as it reads as something related to interpersonal connections and easing grief, I have an obvious first thought my mind jumps to, but...

Who knows?
sonorant: (EN6oCeJ)

[personal profile] sonorant 2024-07-03 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it possible? That somehow... they were taken to some other place?

I don't know what that would mean for the ritual... if it would affect it.

Oh!

[ INFO....! thank you daan. he will read it, brows knitting together. ]

...Some sort of connection with the heavens, or something like it...?

[ it's not impossible. fantasy logic... ]

Miss Kate and I were talking about the last one of these - she said it was probably a good idea for each household to be able to see them, so long as it was in private.

I don't know. I've seen corpses revive, of course... sometimes in unusual ways...

But I can't speak for how the rules of the deceased work here. Sounds like a lot of you guys have your own different systems and afterlives, after all.

Yep, that's why I knocked on your doors.

[ You got it in one bud. ]

I know one person with their names on the barn and haunted house each know about it. Dunno who else by this point in time, but it's a pretty decent spread?
flameguard: (this be me in such case)

[personal profile] flameguard 2024-07-03 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder what that means for us... I wonder what it means for them. With 'no proof that there's a way back'... do you think they're looking?

[ that's a nice thought, though. especially after last weekend. rondo sets a hand on his own heart, a little absently, and nods. ]

Hopefully that means everyone will get to see it. I should tell Alfyn... I guess as long as we're careful.

Don't know what it means, but at least it's something... sitting around for a month with nothing to show for it has seriously been pretty bad.

I'll leave you to that then.

And I quote, "I found it in the trash".

I'll make sure it gets to them.

[ sir!!!

but, anyway. ]


... If...that's the case, I wonder if this is Mr. Nehan's handwriting. It is indeed heartening... these fragments often carry good news, even if they're sparse.

[personal profile] recession 2024-07-03 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's mine. I copied it down.

[ Thanks for calling it nice. ]

It being in Mr. Nehan's voice was also my first thought though.

[ Fuckign stinks of that proper depressed catboy. ]

[ thinks about how absolutely horrible alfyn's handwriting is

daan... powerful ]


... I see... well, your handwriting is really nice! [ it is nice he'll say it. ] I'll copy it down too...

[ as he's pulling out his book to go write this in the back tho: ] If that's the case, then that's definitely heartening. We will just have to be careful... and pray that means our companions' souls have not quite yet laid to rest.

[ she doesn't like the similarities she's finding here. pensive.... ]

I don't know how death works here either, but that note makes it seem it's odd.... I've had some experience with death where death shouldn't happen, but... I doubt it applies here.

We'll have to see if anything else comes up soon.
