sinking down, down
Death is a drop into a blackness that swallows you. You feel the movement of not air but shadow across your face as you plummet, and there is no bottom. No crash.
If there is another side, you do not reach it.
It is neither the light of heaven or the fires of hell that greets you when you wake. And wake you do, to the buzz and flicker of old fluorescent lights.
You are laid out beside a full-size competitive swimming pool, half-filled with stagnant water. The doors out are blocked off by locked doors covered in caution tape. The locker rooms are long since emptied, paint peeling from the humidity. The only signs of habitation are a few pieces of scattered graffiti.
Welcome to your new home. There's no sunlight, no indication of time passing. Just you and each other and your thoughts. the stagnant water bubbles a little occasionally, but there's nothing in it.
Before long you'll realize that you no longer need to eat or drink. You might notice your hand go through something if you don't focus. You're a ghost now. What's that they say about unfinished business?

Re: cw kinda rough self-hatred
[ahem]
...and yeah. While Kohaku was killing you, Anthy was killing Dorothy.
no subject
...that's kind of awful. Kohaku was gonna suffer whether she killed me or not, then.
[Maybe she'd see it as karma if she was angrier about why Kohaku decided to kill.]

[it's not wrong she just wishes people were maybe a LITTLE less certain about it]
1/2 cw parent death/abuse implications I'm so sorry
Mwahaha, I'm Vanity vonAegis and I killed my good-for-nothing dad in cold blood! I'd have gotten away with blowing you all up with chlorine gas too if it wasn't for those meddling girls and their cookies! Strike me down with all your hatred and don't you DARE read into me!
2/2
Who'd lay it on that thick if they weren't trying to be hated?
no subject
...I don't actually sound that nasally, do I?
no subject
You aren't subtle is my point. But...being hated is easier to stomach than being pitied by people who don't get it, isn't it?
no subject
[goddammit, she really thought she had a better poker face than this]
...yes, fine. Happy?
