WHO: everyone!
WHERE: the pasture
WHEN: day 22, all day

[the morning of day 22 begins with a light drizzle, as has been typical for the past few days. but despite the damp weather, a playlist of music also echoes across the pasture, luring you towards the center!]

[there, you will find that someone has planted a large bamboo tree, which is surrounded by wooden tables that are covered with colorful slips of paper and pens. a colorful sign, decorated with random doodles of stars, clouds, suns, and other fun shapes, contains a set of instructions:]

WELCOME TO TANABATA!

WRITE A WISH ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND TIE IT TO THE BAMBOO TREE.

HAVE FUN!

[the music and the bamboo wishing tree are a great start to the festival, but other people have been hard at work to make this a day to remember, right?]

[it's time to celebrate Tana-baa-ta!]

Everything in the City is kind of ominous.

So that's why you like it better here?

W-well yeah. That and I currently live on a hell bus with eleven other sinners, our manager, our driver, and the guide..

...That's a lot.

Y. Yeah. So just - having a bedroom without bars on the window is ... really nice.

You're getting along well with your team?

Really well, yeah. I don't think I dislike any of them, and I actively like most of them.

... What about you?

[she thinks about it]

Some of them are alright, I guess.

And some of them aren't?

I shall neither confirm nor deny.

[--that she's terrified of at least half of them]

That sounds like a confirmation to me.

I'm sure they're perfectly fine people.

But you don't like them?

Wow, I never said that.

Maybe I just feel like I don't really belong here, you know? Not in Rose, I mean here. In this... world? Farm?

Well - that's just true, right? We came here from somewhere else.

Yeah.

That's all.

This place just reminds me of childhood and it's a real bummer. That's all it is.

Your - your childhood?

[flaps a hand]

...Ehhh it's whatever. We'll all just deal with things however we can, right?

Just have to take things as they come!

That's true, but it doesn't mean very much ...

There isn't much else to do about it though, is there? I don't know what else to tell you.

... Did you have parents?

I mean, technically I must have. Couldn't tell you who they are, though.

...But that's normal where I come from, don't worry. Our kids are raised in big creches. Who knows whose kid is whose. Doesn't matter.

I'm saying this place feels like a creche.

Edited 2023-07-31 02:55 (UTC)

O. Oh. Since we're all kind of working together?

[ HE STILL FEELS SAD ABOUT THAT?? he loved his parents... ]

More like, since we're all trapped in here with each other, and all of us are dangerous.

...I've been told my views on this subject are on the pessimistic side, so don't let it get to you.

[ That ... actually gets a faint shrug. ]

Can people die here?
