06 - week six

WEEK SIX

Sunday starts with more aches and pains than you might be used to. Florence patched people up after Saturday’s lesson, sure, but it’s not a complete cure - not to mention it doesn’t ease the sting of betrayal. Some classmates that you thought would cooperate wound up breaking your trust in the end, and this week will be interesting with the fallout.

It’s hard to say what this week will have in store otherwise. Things are changing, and it’s not clear what this means for all of you. On the bright side, however, the creatures and places you once knew from home have suddenly disappeared, so that's less that you need to worry about. There are new areas for you to look at as well.

cw mentions of hallucinations, death, suicide incl assisted suicide for chronic illness I'M SORRY

[sicklysweet]

i wasn't born there [allegedly] but i live in a place called the forest of dreams in the north country
the blizzards get bad enough to cover the forest over night, which means the only time it's safe for humans to traverse the forest is the early morning before the snow melts
there's a tree in the forest that releases a powerful poison, so without magic protecting you you'll fall into the dreams of the forest before you eventually die
so a lot of people who are tired of living or sick or injured and won't get better seek out the forest to be their final resting place
so they can lose themselves in something nice before it's all over
even if the weather's just as awful as the rest of the north though
people probably die before they even make it to the treeline honestly

but before i was pulled here i was staying in the central country
the animals there are much nicer and much more gossipy
but there's also way more people

[totaltrashfire]

okay well that was morbid as all hell.

[Is this why he's such a jerk?]

what does dreams of the forest mean though? just... hallucinating before you die?

[sicklysweet]

well that's what the country is like

[It's all different flavors of cold, miserable, and fucked up.]

yeah
people usually see something that they want more than anything else
or whatever
amazing things that fill them with euphoria they don't even realize what's going on
but i've never seen anything even if i'm the one dying

[totaltrashfire]

yeah my country's like that too. i mean we don't have murder trees but we do have capitalism.

have you been dying a lot?

[sicklysweet]

what's capitalism?

yeah
that's kind of what i'm best at

[totaltrashfire]

oh no. explaining that is way above my paygrade. which is a capitalism thing anyway I think.

you're best at dying??

[sicklysweet]

what kind of expression is that? this capitalism thing sounds stupid

[is he even wrong? no.]

yes
i don't die completely when i die so i just come back
so i can die over and over and over again

[totaltrashfire]

it sure is!

uh ok that's





terrifying actually?
i mean i guess it's kind of useful too but also pretty shitty?

[sicklysweet]

i don't see what makes it shitty
it's kind of annoying when people kill me just because they can i guess
but it's not so bad
