GRAVEYARD aka the locked basement LOL

[ You're dead. Either you were ousted and seemed as an ally of the Bad Badger, or the actual allies of the Bad Badger actually got to you.

You remember dying. If you were already dead prior to this whole game... well, you're alive again.

Your death may have been terrible. Poison, being stabbed multiple times, blunt trauma to the head, hanged... whatever. You can still feel the pain.

But... Where are you? You see white walls around you. You're in a hospital...? You're in a room, but there's no one else but you and a man in a blue costume. He doesn't want to reveal his real head, so he hides behind a mask. A badger wearing a blue jester's hat.

And... another person? Has that other person been there all along?

Then you remember being in a mansion. Was that all a dream? You try to figure it out on your own, but you can't seem to come up with an answer. If by any chance you look into the badger's empty black eyes, you might feel like you're being taken to a completely different place. It's as if you can see the mansion again. You can see the people talking, but if you try to call out, nothing happens. They can't hear you.

You avert your gaze from the badger, and those images disappear.

There's so much happening. Pain, and this crazy badger.

You, on the other hand, aren't wearing a blue costume. You have a white dress on, with an opening at the back. That was definitely not what you were wearing... or was it?

You have so many questions. But at least you're not alone. Someone can answer those questions for you. ]

I suppose you did, but I am sorry regardless. Besides... [He glances towards Simon and Matt, wherever they happen to be right now.] I have been mistaken increasingly often as of late. Perhaps I'm getting too old for this.
turnaboutcoupons: (Serious)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-09 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
This?

[Palaeno's not exactly sure which part of the situation Mr. Doe's referring to right now. The 'figuring out who to trust' bit?]
dekillerqueen: (Time to kick serious amounts of ass)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-09 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[... How shall he put it?]

My occupation necessitates... evaluating people, from time to time.
turnaboutcoupons: (Griiin)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-09 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, I see. I could probably use some lessons in that sort of thing, myself.

[He's a horrible judge of character. That's why he's sitting here having a relatively pleasant conversation with a professional assassin.]
dekillerqueen: (You so silly)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-09 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
... Is that so? I would offer, but unfortunately, considering our predicament, the lessons may be of little use.

[Not to mention, if the overly nice act... isn't actually an act, then Palaeno clearly isn't assassin material.]
turnaboutcoupons: (Default | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-09 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow nobody said he wants to be an assassin himself! He just wants to get better at evaluating people, geez. Go look for that fourth heir elsewhere, Shelly.]

Hmm... That's true, though I may keep you to your word if we make it out of here in one piece.
dekillerqueen: (god he'll get ice cream on his 'stache)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-09 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I never offered my word, Mr. Ambassador.

I am, however, willing to deliver food to your embassy at a discount.
turnaboutcoupons: (Gleeful | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-09 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? [Hearing the words "embassy" and "discount" in the same sentence is always a good sign. Forget about lessons, this is way more interesting.]

What sort of food would that be?
dekillerqueen: (Asphyxiation and what else?)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-09 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I specialise in sweets.
turnaboutcoupons: (Gleeful | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-09 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
How wonderful! Sweets are some of our best sellers! Do you take custom orders?

[He's already picturing chocolates shaped like the flag of Cohdopia.]
dekillerqueen: (You so silly)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-09 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Naturally.

[SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO TELL PALAENO ABOUT THIS MAN.]
turnaboutcoupons: (Griiin)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-09 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[NO DON'T. DON'T CRUSH HIS SELF ESTEEM EVEN FURTHER. LET HIM KEEP HIS FAITH IN HUMANITY!]

Perfect. I'll be sure to ask for more detailed contact information when I can actually... write it down. [Haaah he hates this place.] Have you ever been to Cohdopia, Mr. Doe?
dekillerqueen: (You so silly)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-10 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
A few times, yes. [On business travels AND on "vacation!"]
turnaboutcoupons: (Gleeful | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-10 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Wonderful! Did you visit the whitcrystal mines in Babahl? A wonderful sight to behold! The history of our grand mining industry dates back several centuries. Every tourist should have seen the mines at least once, in my opinion.

[His enthusiasm has turned incredibly genuine by now. He loves talking about his home.]
dekillerqueen: (Save them. Before they melt.)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-10 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Mining and geology are not one of my interests, I'm afraid.
turnaboutcoupons: (Gleeful | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-10 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
They may still become one of your interests! Whitcrystal has a beautiful green hue to it that turns the mining caverns into a bit of a fantasy world. There isn't anything like it to be found elsewhere in the world.
dekillerqueen: (Time to kick serious amounts of ass)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-10 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I... will keep it in mind.

[Maybe he'll check it out once he retires. Sure.]
turnaboutcoupons: (Nervous | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-10 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tourist, get!]

I must admit, I haven't been able to return to Cohdopia for quite a few years now. My work at the embassy keeps me far too busy. ...Perhaps it's time for another vacation. [If he lives through this.]
dekillerqueen: (Time to kick serious amounts of ass)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-10 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
And, if I'm not mistaken... Things have been particularly busy as of late, no?
turnaboutcoupons: (Nervous | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-10 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...Ah. Well. Yes. What with the reunification of the country and the embassy renovations, along with the upcoming jubilee... [And, y'know, not having a secretary anymore...] My schedule's booked solid for the next three months, I believe.
dekillerqueen: (DAT A-- erm.)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-10 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
... I sincerely hope both of us are able to attend to our respective schedules again.
