😇 News & Updates

Rise and shine, precious angels. How does it feel knowing you’re missing some answers? Your little slice of paradise has gone through something tragic... but at least you have each other. That's good, isn't it? Support each other, and be there for one another (or at least try not to antagonize each other too much.)

It's another beautiful day here in Heaven. While it's understandable you may be a little shy about leaving the comfort and safety of your rooms (or wherever you're staying), there's more to explore and plenty of time to do so.

On the bright side, you won’t have to go very far to see there are a few changes to the Neighborhood. For one thing, the clothing store is having a special on royal attire and fantasy-esque costumes, judging by the displays in the window. Secondly, the apple tree still remains in the garden, bright and bountiful. But if you’re looking for something tastier, check out the new tavern attached to the Confessional, now open for business. And lastly... stand still long enough and you’ll hear the sound of the train in the distance. The route has added a new stop this week. Hop aboard and check it out!

The train isn't your only transportation method, apparently! Because while it only happens rarely, a couple of times this week you'll find doors leading to unexpected places. Open your bedroom door and BAM: Bikini Bottom gift shop. Try to leave the library, BOOM: hotsprings! Any door can lead you to anywhere, and this is now happening at least twice a day. At least it hasn’t increased from last week!

Speaking of increasing though… you’re probably feeling a certain Way after the events of the last several weeks. It’s been a lot to process, hasn’t it? You might not even know what to do with all of those feelings, jumbled up inside your chest just waiting to explode. All of the worry, anger… hunger? Wait, when did hunger join the mix? You weren’t a few moments ago, but you can hazard a guess the person next to you is famished due to their grumbly stomach. Maybe you should join them for a bite to eat?

You could be experiencing a complete okay day. Maybe you’ve found something that’s made you smile and you want to tell the world. After all, happiness is contagious. … perhaps too contagious. No matter what mood everyone else is in around you, they’ll feel a bit of your happiness and experience their own, too. Whether they like it or not.

It’s bound to be a messy week full of conflicting emotions. An echo chamber feedback loop amongst yourselves that you can’t always sort through so easily. But it feels nice to talk about your feelings sometimes, doesn’t it? ... Doesn't it? Maybe don’t think too hard about that, actually.

Everything is fine.

And speaking of fine, there seems to be some new activity on Heaven’s popular social network, Chipper. Be sure to check out the latest posts for the most up-to-date news.

Better to pace yourself, though. It’s going to be another long week in paradise.

✨ Weekly Effect

This week is Emotion Sharing! But it's not just about being able to sense the emotions of those around you. Unfortunately, as you pick up on these feelings, you will find that you, too, will begin to experience them.

Is your friend mad? Suddenly you're mad, too. Are you trying to comfort someone who's crying? That may be difficult when you want to cry, yourself. While you might be able to recognize that these feelings aren't your own, that does not exempt you from fully experiencing them yourself. Good luck!

🍺 The Confessional

Be sure to stop by and check out the weekly specials at The Confessional! While the bartender may not always be there to serve you, simply approaching the bar and asking will ensure you receive your drink in a timely fashion. Here's this week's menu.

1/??

[midway]

[ After a long Sunday, there's a little bit of excitement outside of the mansion in the evening. There's two figures having a merry chase, though the street lamps reveal a trail of blood on the ground that leads to the gazebo.

Anyone stumbling by would see Claude there, a deep gash along his left side, and a giant Squishmallow in his hand. The Squishmallow also looks... a little strange... Something wrong has been done here.

He seems to be doing his best to avoid someone, and the vibes are clearly frustrated. ]

You really are persistent.

[ And then he just yeets the Squishmallow at their head, cut open side first. ]

2/?

[rippled]

[ hewwo.

and right behind him is another familiar face, sword raise. blood drips from the blade, as they run after claude. their expression is calm, all of their attention focused on the person before them. ]

Thank you, I heard it was one of my better traits.

[ they raise their sword, getting ready to strike it down on him again when–squishmallow'd! something starts to fall out of it, getting saber in the face and they start to cough, striking at that instead of claude. ]

... dammit.

3/?

[kumeyuri]

[but as saber is getting squishmallow'd—it turns out there was a third familiar face in the area, lying in wait with their emotions completely blank. actually if you were watching earlier, you might've seen someone jumping out of the mansion through a second floor window before saber pursued claude out the exit.

a flash of focus, of concern towards saber because what the fuck, of something sadder towards claude is the only warning claude gets before uruha emerges, with a freshly bleeding cut across his face and his sword in his hand. but regardless of what he's feeling, his expression is likewise calm, and he doesn't hesitate as he drives his blade through claude's heart.

hewwo!]

4/4

[midway]

[ The first thing that strikes out when the blade sinks in is determination: no, no. There is always a plan, and there's always a solution. He doesn't even register the pain as much as he does a sheer desperation to live.

Think. Find a way. Not yet.

There's nothing that he can do against a blade through his heart though, and his plans have been less than perfect for a long time now. The only real weapons that he had—his intellect and strength of will—they're not enough. He's never believed it, no matter how many people had said to him. No matter what, he always believed it—he's enough, he's worth something, he has a right to exist.

But not today.

That determination gives way to fear. To desperation, and a deep heartache. There's nothing he can do, and there's no one who can help him. He never gave anyone the chance.

The ever present hitch in his plan is always trust. It's all the connections that he was never able to make, and all the loneliness he could never overcome. He'd let that be his excuse.

So today he gets his final consequence: he dies alone. sorry saber and uruha you don't count

Claude von Riegan is dead. ]

[rippled]

[ ...

they let out a deep breath, staring down at claude, before turning to look at uruha. ]

Are you okay?

[kumeyuri]

[uruha is quiet for a moment, staring at claude's corpse, before he flicks the blood off his sword and looks towards saber.]

I should be asking you that. Are you all right?

[YOU GOT SQUISHMALLOW'D WITH CLAUDE'S FUNGUS COLONY.]

[boxcar]

[ Also just goes into shock that he just saw this brother he was on his way to send some fucking mail

He opens the mail and takes out the bandages from inside of it and starts unrolling, leaving the box on the ground for now. ]

Here.

[ BOTH OF YOU. ]

...Was he...?

[sarkazm]

What the fuck! Can you guys not give literally any warning here?!

[i can't describe the vibes beyond just being WHAT THE FUCK?]

[kumeyuri]

[calmly,]

No. What point in there was waiting after he confessed?

[GIVE HIM TIME TO PREPARE FOR A LATER MURDER ATTEMPT?]

[gutterbound]

[THE WAY YOU MADE ME A STARTER ONE HOUR AGO.

Richie is probably coming in from a peaceable time trying to get over what happened this afternoon with other people and comes back to his roommate's dead body and two pint-sized twinks standing over it and just

Emotionally blanks out.]

...

[kumeyuri]

[well.





sorry about this, richie! someone please help richie i'm begging you it can't be uruha who is here with a sword covered in claude's blood.]

[rippled]

[ well. good news you have your own room now!!!!!!

saber also just kind of looks at him uselessly. sorry. ]

[punnier]

[ Yikes!

Just coming here to shift in front of him, sorry they know they're short but they their hat is tall enough if they stand on their tippie-toes. ]

Richie. Look at me. [ Settles a hand against their own chest with a deep breath in. ] Breathe with me?

[ Let's not focus on your dead roommate right now, okay? ]

[fried]

[ he's also here... you've got a bunch of people but jiaoqiu comes to put a hand on his back. ]

[cupidsammo]

[






okay well she's just going to go into shock right here ]

[fried]

[ i. okay.

well. is he just on the ground dead, or. ]

[trifocal]

[ running out, but stopping and just. a little bit sad. i'll be nice and say she was in time to hear uruha explain to at least two other people.

she'll look to saber and uruha with sympathy. ]

... I see. I'm sorry that it came to this.

[fending]

[ there's an immediate HELLO WHAT THE FUCK upon limping outside but that just kind of turns into sadly resigned feelings after a moment. ]

...Shite.

[outdistanced]

[ what's one more death on this, week four. rip king ]

[faithkept]

[THIS MIGHT AS WELL HAPPEN. He probably watched this from the window in the lobby but he will carefully make his way out to peer at their super dead Claude and two stabby guys just lookin' to see if they need any help tending to injuries or. Or carrying a body or something damn.]

[apoisoncary]

[ The ruckus draws her out of the mansion and she sees him there dead.

Is that what you caring for someone gets us?

Is there a point in opening yourself up and trying something if it'll just end like this? Is there a point of considering someone if they will kill or be killed here?

She is going to come over to his body to crouch down by it. She won't touch because she has given her word to never touch a body again, but she is going to stay there.

Maomao wishes she never opened her heart... ]

[historicals]

[ the thing is, it's not surprising. the thing is, this dreadful theory has lingered for some time now. it is what has to be done. it is what has to be done.

the last thing he is expecting is claude to die on the doorstep. the healer part of him is coming out of the mansion and almost lunging out of the door, sheer instinct, but -- it is what has to be done and it is too late.

he catches against the doorframe, emotions a wreck of sadness and resignation and grief.

you shouldn't be alone when you're in pain, anyway. i don't think there's a remedy to grief. just what makes it easier to bear.

... and then the emotions drop to nothing, numbness. taair shakes his head, swallows hard. ]

... We should... we need to make sure the others know and... someone should call the Angels. If we've not already. [ ... ]

[spiritbalm]

[ oh worm? ]

[peripheries]

[Just kind of... sinks to the ground in a crouch and rests his head on his interlaced fingers.]

[berserketype]

[ is asleep in bed with a little nightcap on so spoon* can see this adorable image and know this is who she has hurt today

*and jan. francy has never done anything wrong in her life though. ]
