[facultwist]

Welcome to the container for your endgame! This will be the place where you can perform your polterheist (we really love that portmanteau), and where you'll be able to commentate on the final trial!

ICly, the whole heist will take place Monday, while the final trial watch will take place Thursday. For anything not related to endgame, please continue to use the main deadland post!

cults cw is absolutely going to continue

[ Lottie, like Misty, doesn't think that's pathetic at all. What else is the wilderness, if not a dream of safety and belonging? We hear the wilderness and it hears us. A loving embrace in the eye of the storm. ]

Were you happy?

... I don't know. [ she huffs out a laugh, dry and desperate. ] I guess she must have been. She had... everything I used to want.

[ separating herself from that other girl, who wasn't forced awake. whose soul hadn't shattered and been painstakingly pieced back together. ]

But it makes me sick to think about.

cw: cults, evangelical christianity portrayed as the same, ableism

[ Lottie is quiet for a long time. Long enough that Hatsune gets to speak to Kana, which gives Lottie even more to think about.

As usual, her thoughts turn to Laura Lee, and what it felt like to be close to her. ]

I trusted Laura Lee for the same reason. She thought I was touched by her god. And the other girls, the rest of the team, they all thought I was a prophet. [ Now it's Lottie's turn to laugh at herself, and the noise she makes is thin and dry. ] A whole world where what was wrong with me made me special, where people loved me for it.

But I'd be just as lonely as their prophet, wouldn't I? A worshipper isn't a friend. [ Lottie looks at Hatsune, deep and earnest. ] I'm sorry that's what your other self became.
