ok heres my ocs part two cuz i reached the tumblr picture limit

heres a skin im currently wearing cuz

its june duh! happy pride! i love this skin and only wear it during june. my base skin is also a pride flag so im not doing the rainbow dollar thing anyways. i just switch it up for some color, thats all.

next up is a skin i spent so much time for next to no payoff.

this was for a lore event in s1 of the smp and.. i think.. was the last "canon" lore event. this is the skin where i first changed the mask color to match the vibe. i love it so much. i spent so much time building the venue, making the skin, sending out in character invites and getting everyone good on a time. it was the big finale we didnt expect but surely needed. this skin serves as a reminder of that. then i wished it ended a bit better but now i think its kinda ironic. that server "ended" with a chaotic explosion with much confusion and all planning going out the window much like how the server felt while playing.

anyways next up is a skin i like but really shouldnt be as good as it is

this is a pirate skin i had just laying around but used for my second village minecraft event with that one youtuber. they announced it was an ocean theme and omg i immediately knew i had to use that skin. no one recognized me cuz i didnt have the plague doctor mask but i couldnt pass up a chance to use this. its a good looking skin

this next skin was for s1.5 of the smp... (we were bored).

im not the biggest fan of this skin but i remember spending a while finding the right skin base. this was for a server on 1.19 bc the server owner then wanted to try a new server to keep the community alive. this server was short lived. this was meant to be another corrupt business man or actor? i forgot. but it looks good, ig.

i think the last skin i wanna talk about thats not so deep in the smps lore that id need paragraphs explaining it would be

my pokemon skins! my friends made a couple pixelmon servers years ago and i had to make skins for them. the 1st one is for the one that actually lasted but i think i prefer the 2nd more. i do wanna play around with changing the eye color. ive only done it a couple times for cringe things but i think its cool.

anyways thats all the skins i wanna talk abt rn. im not ashamed of these two long posts; i had to get it out somehow. anyways hope any of this made any sense and maybe inspires you to create variants of ur skins. its fun and ud be surprised how creative u can get.

i do wanna address something real quick. i wanna say that about 99 to 100% of these skins were bases i put my face on. im not a skilled pixel artist and i want to thank everyone who made these skins. if you recognize any of these as urs, thank you ever so much for making a beautiful skin that inspired my creations. i hope youre proud of your work cuz i was honestly blown away by the skill of the minecraft skin making community. you guys are so dedicated and cool i wanna shout out all of yall.

so yeah thanks for reading all this. look out for my server lore explanation and... i said something else but i forgot atm.

My thoughts on how the Milgram mv machine works based on the evidence we have:

(I know there’s been discussion about where exactly the interrogations take place, but wherever they are,) the prisoners are made to sit in a specific chair near the wall that houses the machine.

It’s ordinarily hidden, but the wall panels shift aside to reveal it when the mechanical sounds play in the dramas. As well as the walls moving, the chair transforms to restrain the prisoner and attach whatever it takes to access their brain. The fact that none of the more frightened prisoners try to run or break it makes it seem like they physically cannot. This is why Fuuta sounds so panicked, and why Amane is suddenly helpless in front of Es in their T1 vds.

(My mind conjures very classic sci-fi mad scientist machines with wires, pipes, lights, nodes, needles, etc, but I’d love to hear how other people visualize it.)

In some vds (maybe all? I’d need to check,) you can hear Es take some steps right before their iconic line -- it would make sense that for safety reasons, the power mechanism is placed across the room. Once again it could be anything, but the sound effect makes me think of one of those giant wall-mounted levers you have to pull down.

The voice dramas don’t really provide the type of crime details that an actual interrogation would reveal, and it’s odd that they’re placed before the extraction rather than after Es gets to see the new details. This leads me to believe the machine functions with priming. All Es needs to do is get them talking about their murder, so it’s on their mind.

The video produced is much like a (non-lucid) dream. Even if the prisoners figure out that this is how it works, they can’t control it just by thinking really hard about something else. The murders produce the strongest emotional affect, and that’s what it picks up on. If someone else used the machine, it would default to whatever gave them the strongest emotional reaction in the ~15 minutes beforehand, hence why Es’ video focuses on their daunting task ahead. (The Undercover theory is still a bit loose, though, given the private shots that Es wouldn't have known about). It’s why the videos are usually closely linked to the vd topics/beats. I also like to think that the reason their prisoner colors appear so much is because they’re looking at those colors on their uniform 24/7.

The bell rings to inform Es that it’s the optimal time to use the machine -- the prisoner has been thinking about things for long enough that the video will be about their crime, and if the conversation lasts much longer they’ll start thinking of other things. It’s at a different time for each prisoner because it’s based on the specific conversation. I guess Jackalope is listening in to the interrogation, timing it perfectly. (The only one that kind of messes with this theory is Yonah, because they just keep talking afterwards lol, but it could just show that the interrogation is still in Es’ control.)

Their “Sing your sins” is the final priming nudge to get them to think of their actions as a sin, revealing their guilt.

Once activated, the prisoner enters a sort of trance/sleeping state. It’s very much like REM sleep, with the machine forcibly activating neurons and recording the output. The prisoners have asked Es what they saw, meaning they don’t remember the mvs. I like to think the prisoners do experience the mv in real time, acting as the major version of themself that appears, but can’t remember it afterwards. It’s when you experience a dream, but as soon as you wake up you’re just left with fleeting emotions and memories right on the tip of your tongue.

The video plays immediately upon extraction -- whether on a huge projection or little screen depends on which room it’s in. It simultaneously saves the memory so that Es can rewatch it later (on those old TVs in the jailbreak mix). The machine downloads the song and video together, but requires special parts to retrieve them. The technology is pretty new and fragile, so if one is broken, there might be a delay between when Es can hear the extracted song and see it with the video. (That’s my justification for Kotoko’s delays -- after 9 prisoners the parts wear out, or maybe Mikoto himself overheats it with his complex situation.)

Based on the lack of conversation we get afterwards, I picture Es leaving before the prisoner wakes from the trance. The machine adjusts their brain back to normal before they awaken, restraints freed and able to return to the rest of the prison.

It’s very much like a dream, so it’s not harmful despite the amnesia/head injuries the prisoners have. It does, however, exhaust them. Brain activity alone takes a lot of energy, so forced brain activity with added emotional strain would cause them to feel pretty drained the rest of the day.

OH GOD WE'RE DOING THIS WE'RE DOING THIS

so yeah this vd is supposed to describe the changes that happened between the ending of season 2 and the beginning of season 3. please enjoy!.. or don't. you are free to suffer as well

Warnings: descriptions of murder and suicide attempts.

Hinode: Are you ready to begin, Miki-san?

Miki: .. Yes. 

Hinode: So.. The trial hasn't even started yet, but we already had to go through a lot.

Miki: Y-yeah..

Miki: I mean, we had to expect something like this. It's the last trial, after all.

Miki: But still.. Everyone has changed so much.

Miki: And it's.. kind of our fault too.

Hinode: We had to punish the guilty prisoners somehow, you know that.

Miki: ...

Miki: I don't think you saw punishing them as a way to save them or the other prisoners.

Hinode: Huh?

Miki: Are you sure that you really don't like seeing other people in pain, Hinode-san?

Hinode: W-what are you talking about, Miki-san-

Miki: Never mind.I just hope Eiji-san comes back soon.

Hinode: .. This might be a weird question, but.. what kind of relationship do you two have? Are you close?

Miki: Eiji-san is very important to me. That's all.

Hinode: Do you like him?

Miki: .. *sighs*

Miki: I don't agree with most of the things he says. He can be really annoying. He's way too cruel when he punishes the prisoners. 

Miki: .. But I still want him to come back.

Hinode: So you do like him.

Miki: Guard 003, let's get to work already.

Hinode: U-uh, yes, sure.

Hinode: So.. It looks like the relationship dynamics between the prisoners have changed significantly.

Hinode: Those who were enemies are starting to become closer and those who were friends now hate each other's guts.

Hinode: Let's talk about the changes every prisoner went through during this period.

Hinode: Prisoner 001, Miyagawa Akio.

Hinode: Thankfully, Akio-san has started to get better.

Hinode: His injury isn't that bad anymore, but it's possible that it will still impact his life in.. not the best way.

Hinode: He still has to wear bandages just in case, but now we know that he has a pretty big scar there. 

Hinode: Thanks to him being voted innocent, according to Jackalope, he was able to receive treatment from someone we don't know yet, but since Akio-san's condition really is getting better with each day, I don't think that person is dangerous.

Miki: "I wonder who that person was.. Maybe a doctor that works here?"

Hinode: It's easier for him to walk now and his headaches aren't as bad anymore. He can finally read without anyone's help again and it also looks like he's not that obsessed with his accomplice anymore. I'm happy for him.

Hinode: He also seems to have changed as a person as well. He still prefers to spend most of his time alone, but he's not as.. "arrogant" anymore, maybe?

Hinode: Actually, it seems like he became closer with some other prisoners and not just Aimi-san.

Hinode: Those prisoners are Kei-san, Asahi-san and..

Hinode: .. Riku.

Miki: ...

Hinode: I knew about what happened between Akio-san and Riku before the second trial, so I was also.. shocked.

Hinode: However, Akio-san was the one who saved Riku when he tried to do.. that to himself, so maybe Riku is actually somewhat grateful to him?

Hinode: Looks like Aimi-san was a good influence on Akio-san, haha.

Miki: But what about Miyagawa-san's relationship with Aimi-chan?

Hinode: .. Well, let's talk about her then, shall we?

Hinode: Prisoner 002, Hanasaki Aimi.

Hinode: Aimi-san has been voted innocent, and to be honest..

Hinode: It seems to have really changed her as a person.

Hinode: Or maybe that's actually her letting her true colors show?

Hinode: I've expected her to be more happy about her only friend being voted innocent, but now that Akio-san is close with other prisoners and seems to have found friends in this place..

Hinode: .. Aimi-san is feeling lonely again now.

Hinode: She doesn't talk to Akio-san that much anymore. She doesn't talk to anyone actually.

Hinode: .. Except you, Miki-san.

Hinode: She seems to like you a lot.

Miki: .. Yes, she does.

Miki: She always says how I'm her "only friend" and that I'm the only person in this place who she can trust.

Miki: If I accidentally call her "Hanasaki-san" she stares at me with this weird look in her eyes and makes me call her "Aimi-chan" because "that's what I'm supposed to call her as her friend".

Miki: I just.. don't get it. I thought that if we vote her innocent, she'd act more..

Hinode: I think she's acting like this exactly because we voted her innocent.

Hinode: Aimi-san now thinks that she was in the right. She has been voted innocent twice now, of course she would think that.

Hinode: Of course she sees you as a friend. Because friends forgive each other.

Hinode: And even though you have.. also changed, you're still kind to her no matter what.

Hinode: So it's possible that..

Hinode: ...

Miki: What's wrong, Hinode-san?

Hinode: .. So, her brother thought that her classmates deserve to die for treating her like that, right?

Hinode: But what if he thought they deserve to die not only for bullying her, but also.. 

Hinode: .. For not being her friends?

Hinode: And since she killed him for "betraying her trust" in a way and doing something a friend wouldn't do..

Miki: .. She believes it's okay to hurt and even kill someone if they refuse to be friends with her?

Hinode: Possibly.

Hinode: And considering that she's been spending most of her time in her cell lately and writing something..

Hinode: .. Who knows what she's planning. 

Hinode: Now.. 

Hinode: Prisoner 003, Ishizu Shun.

Hinode: Well, this one has caused us a lot of trouble.

Hinode: He really didn't take being voted guilty well.

Hinode: Considering his memory problems, his memory loss is much worse compared to other guilty prisoners.

Hinode: Thanks to the way this machine works, we can also watch the recording of him getting his memory erased for the first time.

Miki: Do we.. really have to watch it?

Hinode: I found some of the things he said very interesting, Miki-san. We are the guards of this place, so we have to pay attention to everything the prisoners say.

Miki: .. You're right.

(the recording starts playing)

(Shun: .. W-where am I?

Shun: .. W-who are you two?!

Shun: T-this doesn't look like my-

Shun: Wait, what are these clothes?!

Hinode: It's okay, take a deep breath. You're fine.

Shun: I don't understand.. I don't understand!

Shun: W-where are they?

Shun: Where are Hina and Jouhei?

Shun: TELL ME RIGHT NOW!

Miki: Hinode-san!

Shun: I AM GOING TO BREAK ALL OF YOUR LIMBS IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHERE YOU'RE HIDING THEM!

Shun: You just want to ruin my happiness, don't you? All of you.. All of you think I don't deserve to be loved, right?!

Shun: *starts sobbing* I JUST WANTED TO BE HAPPY!)

Hinode: I'm still grateful to you for saving me back there.

Hinode: I don't know if it's because I'm not that physically strong, but I really felt like Shun-san was going to kill me.

Miki: If something happened to you, we would have two injured guards to deal with. I didn't want that.

Hinode: Haha, understandable.

Hinode: So, I guess now we know his victims' names. 

Miki: There's something that bothers me about this.

Hinode: Really? What is it?

Miki: .. Why did he sound so worried about Hina-san's new boyfriend?

Miki: Actually, from what I remember, in the end of his second video, he was eating cake with both of them. And he looked happy and didn't mind Jouhei-san's company.

Miki: If he believed that Jouhei-san was a bad person who didn't deserve Hina-san, why would he want to spend time with him? Why would he worry about him?

Hinode: Maybe he actually liked them both, haha.

Miki: What was that?

Hinode: Never mind, that sounds stupid.

Hinode: It's just.. Shun-san likes both Kei-san and Eiko-san, right? And he also really wants to be loved..

Hinode: I feel like it wouldn't be out of character for him to be in love with both his "ex-girlfriend" and her new boyfriend even if he hated him at first.

Hinode: But that's just a theory~

Miki: .. Hinode-san, we're having a serious conversation here.

Hinode: Haha, sorry, sorry.

Hinode: Anyway, it took a while to make Shun-san go back to his cell and he actually tried to run away, believing that there must be some sort of exit.

Hinode: And when he actually did get his memories back..

Hinode: .. The first thing he did was attacking Kei-san right after he saw him eating with everyone.

Hinode: He really hated the fact that Kei-san got voted innocent while him and Eiko-san got voted guilty.

Hinode: .. He chose the wrong person to attack, however. Kei-san really did suffer from the consequences of being voted guilty in the past, but he can still fight back as long as he has a weapon.

Hinode: So, uh...

Hinode: M-maybe attacking Kei-san when he had something sharp in his hand wasn't the best idea.

Hinode: Oh well, at least they match now when it comes to eye injuries.

Hinode: Except Shun-san's eye is.. Uh..

Hinode: Pretty much gone-

Miki: Can we stop talking about it?

Hinode: Fine, fine.

Hinode: So, we can confidently say that Shun-san is one of the most dangerous prisoners right now. His relationship with Eiko-san is getting more and more weird too..

Hinode: He actually doesn't talk to anyone except Eiko-san now. He avoids Kei-san too, but every time he sees him, he looks angry and.. heartbroken, maybe?

Hinode: Looks like he really did like him.

Hinode: So, Prisoner 004, Chiba Naomi.

Hinode: Let's watch the recording first, since she got her memories taken too.

(the recording starts playing)

(Naomi: ...

Hinode: Okay, I think we're done.

Hinode: Naomi-san, how are you feeling?

Hinode: Naomi-san-

Naomi: .. M-mom?

Naomi: Mom, I'm sorry, I..

Naomi: *starts crying* I am so sorry.. for failing you..

Naomi: I just.. I don't know if I.. 

Naomi: I don't know if I want to-

Naomi: .. Huh?

Naomi: .. Who are you two?

Naomi: W-where am I? W-where is my mother?

Hinode: Calm down. Can you remember who you are?

Naomi: U-uh..

Naomi: M-my name is Chiba Naomi. I am 30 years old. I'm an elementary school teacher. I live in-

Hinode: Okay, it worked.)

Miki: The first thing she did when we took her memories was start crying for her mother..

Miki: I didn't know Chiba-san was so attached to her.

Hinode: I don't think she was attached to her in a good way though.

Hinode: The way she acted after losing her memories was very interesting.

Hinode: It's like.. At the same time she was more anxious, but she also was very friendly with all the youngest prisoners, even Asahi-san.

Hinode: Perhaps it's because she didn't remember what happened to her victim and how he treated her, since we took more memories from her than we did in Shun-san's case. 

Hinode: Maybe she used to see her victim in Asahi-san, but since she forgot about her crime, she started to like him more.

Hinode: But then she got her memories back and..

Hinode: .. The glass cat figure.

Hinode: She broke it and put the glass shards in Asahi-san's food when no one was looking.

Miki: ...

Hinode: Are you okay, Miki-san? 

Miki: My own little brother almost got killed, but sure, I'm okay.

Hinode: Got it, not okay at all, haha.

Hinode: Asahi-san was saved by Kei-san who noticed that something was wrong with the food and stopped him before he tried to eat it.

Hinode: I really didn't expect Kei-san out of all people to save him. You must be feeling very grateful to him.

Miki: .. I do, actually.

Miki: I did get him a strawberry milkshake as thanks later after that.

Hinode: This guy really made one prisoner lose an eye but saved another prisoner's life..

Hinode: Oh, by the way, let's talk about him now, shall we?

Hinode: Prisoner 005, Sanada Kei.

Hinode: His injuries are healing, thankfully, but I'm afraid there's not much we can do about his eye.

Hinode: Reina-san requested a new eyepatch for him, actually. A more.. uh, "cute" one, maybe?

Hinode: She really cares about him. At first she protected him from Yurika-san and now this..

Hinode: He got a new outfit and he feels much more comfortable in it now. 

Hinode: It's like he's back to "normal" but he's also more.. I'm not sure how to say it..

Hinode: It's like, now he has people he's actually close with and he sticks with them? 

Hinode: Though he is still very.. uh.. friendly with me, haha..

Miki: "I don't think Kei-san just wants to be friends with him.."

Hinode: But I think an innocent verdict really did have a good impact on him. He's still friends with Reina-san and he's now close with Asahi-san and some other prisoners as well.

Hinode: His relationship with them is much more healthy than whatever he had with Eiko-san and Shun-san.

Miki: .. I don't know if he will finally open up about his crime though.

Hinode: Well, Miki-san..

Hinode: Maybe he has a reason to be so afraid of talking about his crime.

Miki: Like what? And why do you think he's afraid of it and not just.. I don't know.. being mysterious, I guess?

Hinode: Well, let's think about it.

Hinode: Sanada Kei is a man who likes to be in control. When he sees someone he likes, he immediately tells them about it. He doesn't take no for an answer.

Hinode: .. But judging by how much he screamed during his punishment and how much pain it had caused him, he hates not being in control.

Hinode: He still has horrible scars on his back. He's shown crying and begging for help in his second viideo.

Hinode: Now, Miki-san, what is the worst thing that could ever happen to a man like that?

Miki: ...

Miki: .. I understand now.. I think.

Miki: L-let's talk about Yoshioka-san now.

Hinode: Okay.

Hinode: Prisoner 006, Yoshioka Eiko.

Hinode: Let's watch the recording first.

Hinode: Her behavior after the punishment was.. unexpected, to say the least.

(the recording starts playing)

(Eiko: ...

Eiko: T-takeru?..

Eiko: Where's Takeru?..

Eiko: H-have you two seen him?..

Eiko: Please, I just want him to reply.. Please..

Eiko: I don't know if he's even alive!

Eiko: And if he's alive..

Eiko: Why is he still.. ignoring me?..

Eiko: .. Maybe.. it actually would be better if he turned out to be dead.. haha..)

Hinode: After that she just started laughing and walked back to her cell. She didn't ask us anything about this place, she was too busy thinking about Takeru-san.

Hinode: We not only took memories of her crime, but some other memories as well, so she also didn't remember what Takeru-san did and why he stopped replying to her messages.

Hinode: I still wonder what exactly he did to make her kill him.. 

Hinode: I know, maybe it looks like Eiko-san is way too obsessed with him, but..

Hinode: To be honest, I can't help but feel like Takeru-san really wasn't the best partner for her.

Hinode: Well, whether it's her being too possessive or him being a manipulator.. 

Hinode: It's our job to find that out.

Hinode: Anyway, now Eiko-san is spending time only with Shun-san and doesn't talk to anyone else. 

Hinode: Interestingly, it doesn't feel like she only sees him as her "bodyguard" anymore. It's like..

Hinode: She really does feel like she can't trust anyone else here.

Hinode: She also seems to really hate Yurika-san judging by the way she glares at her now.

Miki: She attacked Eiji-san and Yoshioka-san likes him a lot, so..

Miki: I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out she's plotting something.

Hinode: Yeah, we have to be careful with her.

Hinode: Prisoner 007, Yano Asahi.

Hinode: This poor boy is somehow getting better and getting more traumatized at the same time.

Hinode: He almost got killed by a woman he trusted and who is the only person that can be seen as a mother figure here.

Hinode: And it's possible this woman will try to kill him again since Naomi-san really is.. not doing good right now.

Hinode: But at least now he has people who can protect him.

Hinode: He likes Kei-san a lot now and follows him everywhere. Kei-san doesn't mind and even plays along and acts as his older brother.

Hinode: He plays the same role for other two prisoners actually. 

Miki: ".. What is it with Kei-san being an actually good big brother for other prisoners, but not for his own little brother?"

Hinode: He's more open now and he smiles more often. Well, at least when Naomi-san isn't around. 

Hinode: He's also still a little afraid of Yurika-san for obvious reasons, but he's okay with her company as long as he's with Kei-san.

Hinode: He also gets along surprisingly well with Akio-san now.

Hinode: You must be happy to see your little brother making so many friends here.

Miki: Y-yeah..

Miki: "But I'm also tired of them trying to kill him over and over.."

Hinode: Prisoner 008, Maruyama Yurika.

Hinode: It was.. really hard to punish her properly.

Hinode: When she found out about what happened to Shun-san, Naomi-san and Eiko-san, she decided to fight back and threatened to kill Riku and your brother if we did anything to her.

Hinode: .. That didn't work however, since you've knocked her out instantly.

Hinode: You.. are really taking advantage of your status as a guard now, haha..

Miki: .. I know that she's capable of killing Marito. I couldn't just let her do that.

Hinode: You really care about your brother a lot-

Miki: Yes, unlike you.

Hinode: ...

Miki: I'm pretty sure she doesn't know that me and Marito are related though. So why did she-

Hinode: She probably chose him because she noticed how close you two are and because he's the youngest one here.

Hinode: A-anyway, let's watch the recording.

(The recording starts playing)

(Yurika: .. Hey.

Yurika: Where am I?

Yurika: Ugh, did I really get sent to prison or something?

Yurika: Uhh, wait, I was told that if something like this happens, I'll-

Yurika: ...

(sounds of Yurika standing up)

Yurika: You'll never take me alive, losers!

Yurika: Gh-

Yurika: W-what are you-

Miki: Seriously.. Maruyama-san, you're not actually that strong.

Miki: It's easy for you to attack the weak ones, like children and the injured prisoners..

Miki: But what about someone who's stronger than them and can actually put up a fight?

Yurika: ...

Miki: Now, sleep well.)

Hinode: We actually had to take more of her memories later, since she still continued to act.. unstable and she only got better when we took memories of her being "betrayed" by her parents.

Hinode: After that she started to act like a young woman who.. uh.. comes from a quite rich family-

Miki: And who never had to work to make a living.

Miki: It was kind of annoying, but at least she didn't try to kill everyone.

Hinode: It would be nice if we could just leave her like this, but we still need more information from her, so we had to give her her memories back. 

Hinode: She still likes to threaten everyone, but she doesn't actually do anything.

Hinode: It also seems that she's back to being friends with Reina-san.

Hinode: I wonder what made her have this sudden change of heart..

Hinode: .. Prisoner 009, Kuroki Riku.

Hinode: ...

Hinode: Let's watch the recording before I say anything.

(The recording starts playing)

(Riku: .. I hate him.

Riku: I hate him so much, I hate him so much, I hate him so much, I hate him so much..

Riku: I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM!

Riku: I am so done with this.. Why do I still have to spend time with him..

Riku: No.. 

Riku: Why can't I.. leave him already?

Riku: I hate him, right?.. So why can't I just tell him to leave me alone?..

Riku: I don't get it..

Riku: Huh.. I don't think I've seen this place before..

Riku: Well, it doesn't matter.

Riku: As long as he's not here, I'm fine with it.)

Hinode: .. He didn't even notice me.

Hinode: He didn't even notice his own brother, haha..

Hinode: Well, he does have some very strong feelings about Yue, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Miki: ...

Hinode: .. *sighs* I guess we still have to talk about.. that.

Hinode: Shortly after Riku got his memories back..

Hinode: .. He tried to kill or at least hurt himself by putting that hair dye he requested earlier into his tea.

Hinode: Thankfully, he was stopped by Akio-san, who noticed his drink looking strange and asked what was in it. 

Hinode: While Riku was trying to come up with an answer, Akio-san looked closer, remembered Riku's request and realized that it was black hair dye.

Hinode: Riku was mad at Akio-san at first, but now..

Hinode: They get along really well, actually. I rarely see Riku without Akio-san and vice versa.

Hinode: I think it's because deep inside..

Hinode: Riku actually wanted someone to stop him. Maybe he even wanted it to be Akio-san. 

Hinode: Maybe he wanted it to be him so that he could make sure Akio-san is not mad at him and has forgiven him.

Hinode: Riku seems to have become more social again and he spends a lot of time with Akio-san, Kei-san and some other prisoners.

Hinode: And now, finally..

Hinode: Prisoner 010, Himura Reina.

Hinode: She.. completely ignores us now.

Hinode: She said she doesn't care about our opinion anymore and she "has her own plans for this place", whatever that's supposed to mean.

Hinode: However, even though she's so cold now, she seems to have become quite popular among prisoners.

Hinode: She can be often seen with Kei-san, Yurika-san, Akio-san, Riku-san and Asahi-san.

Hinode: Aimi-san, Naomi-san, Shun-san and Eiko-san still avoid her though. I wonder why..

Miki: ...

Miki: I have a bad feeling about her becoming more popular.

Miki: And with these particular people too..

Hinode: Well, it's not like she can do anything to stop us or stop the trial from happening.

Hinode: Okay, that's the end of the report. We really should be more careful this time, now that we know what will happen to everyone after they receive their final verdicts.

Hinode: Are you ready, Miki-san?

Miki: .. I wonder what will happen to us after the third trial is over.

Hinode: W-well, they'll most likely just send us back home.. 

Hinode: Probably.

Miki: Also, where's Eiji-san?

Hinode: I've heard he will join us later, but I'm not sure when exactly. 

Miki: .. Okay.

Miki: *stands up* Let's go, then.

Miki: We can't let ourselves make a wrong choice this time.

Miki: .. Let the third trial begin.

"Justice" - Es' Trial One Voice Drama

Jackalope: You understand now, right?

Es: I believe so, yes…

Jackalope: Good! Good! Now, come with me. We have to go now. The prisoners might realize we’re not there yet. Since you prepared, MUGRAM, the first trial begins now! Or whatever! Let’s move!!

Es: Eh–??

: Go where?

Jackalope: Panopticon. It has a panoramic view of the prisoners’ rooms.

Es: Panopticon…?

Jackalope: Your head is a little foggy right? Sorry about that. I’ll explain a few things to you on the way.

Es: Okay. My memory problem won’t interfere with being the Warden.

Jackalope: …

: That’s good to know.

[footsteps]

Jackalope: Hey, Es, can you open the door?

Es: Eh? Can’t you… Right, you’re… never mind. [footsteps]

Jackalope: Look, the only door I can’t open is the one to your bedroom. Other rooms have an entrance for me.

Es: Oh, that’s… nice. Do I really have a… “rabbit” as another Warden?

Jackalope: …

: My feelings, Es… But, yes, I am technically another Warden.

[door opens, the pair walk]

Es: Eh… This hallway is long.

Jackalope: At the end of this passageway is your bedroom. There are various rooms and facilities along the way. Explaining it would take too long, so I’m skipping it, alright?

Es: What’s opposite my room?

Jackalope: My room! You can’t enter without my permission, though.

Es: Eh, I don’t plan on it. Plus, there’s no door big enough for a human anyway.

Jackalope: Oh, that’s true. [more footsteps] This is the prisoners’ shower room. Across is the storage room. Necessities are mostly here.

Es: The prisoners are allowed to go in and out of this passageway?

Jackalope: Yep, they need their necessities, correct?

Es: …

: Mhm.

Jackalope: Anyways, when they’re allowed in the passageway, whether showers should be separated by male and female and so on, the specific rules for their lives are things you decide later.

Es: …I can decide?

Jackalope: Yep! You can decide how MILGRAM is administered. So, if you want to make it heaven or hell, it’s up to you.

Es: I would ask why, but it’s probably because I’m the Warden, right? Even if I can’t remember.

Jackalope: Oh, yes.

Es: Oh, Jackalope. You might have to move faster. I might step on you.

Jackalope: I’m going as fast as I can, alright?! Hold on.

Es: …Sorry.

Jackalope: Anyways, this is the dining hall.

Es: Wait, who prepares the meals? Apart from the two of us, is there anyone else who–

Jackalope: I do.

Es: Oh. Wait– What??

Jackalope: I’m the head chef of MUGRAM. I can make anything you’d like.

Es: How can you even do that?? How do you hold a frying pan or a knife with like… your paws? Hands?

Jackalope: If I hold it firmly, I can.

Es: What…? How does your… fur not get into it??

Jackalope: If it’s molting season, then a lot of it gets in.

Es: What–

Jackalope: Alright, we’re finally at the heart of MUGRAM: the Panopticon.

[door opens]

Es: This is… Panopticon. It’s… a dome?

Jackalope: We’re at the north of the dome. The entrance is at the twelve o’clock position.

Es: So, I’m assuming each door is a prisoner’s room?

Jackalope: Yep, it’s pretty much like a clock. The prisoner number and the times match. Pretty easy to remember, right?

Es: Mhm.

Jackalope: Oh, there’s still some time left. Okay, I think I have time to introduce the prisoners. I’ve only seen their faces, though. [footsteps] So, the one o’clock room, prisoner number one, Mayumi Kubo.

: She has a… serious expression on her face. Honestly, I don’t really know if you’ll learn anything about her.

Es: Well, she’s a murderer. That’s all I need to know, isn’t it?

Jackalope: Yes… But… [sigh] Let’s just move on.

: Next, at two o’clock, prisoner number two, Masaru Iwai. He has an angry expression on his face. If I were you, I’d ensure he didn’t cause too much trouble. He looks like… a young adult. I couldn’t really tell that much, though.

Es: You don’t know the prisoners’ ages?

Jackalope: Ehh… Well, I’m not allowed to look into stuff like that. But, you are. So, figure them out the prisoners for me, will ya? [footsteps] At three o’clock, we have prisoner three, Keisuke Izumi. He looks… normal, I guess. It’s not like he seems shocked or anything; he’s just… normal.

Es: Well, he’s a murderer, isn’t he? I wouldn’t believe that if it were true…

Jackalope: Well, first impressions reveal a lot about a person, so…

Es: Huh. Anyways, the next prisoner is… Prisoner number four is Tomoko Shiratori.

Jackalope: Another serious-looking person. It’s sort of hard to understand these types of people; they never try to reveal anything about themselves unless they have to.

Es: Well, no matter, I’ll figure it out in the end and judge them according to the law–

Jackalope: Eh? According to the law? Well, if we just judged them according to the law, then there’s no point in you being here. [Es makes an annoyed noise] You should make decisions based on your own standards. Even if it's based on sex or love, I have no problem with it.

Es: …Let’s just move on.

Jackalope: Alright. The next prisoner is Shun Minami. They’re around… 25, I believe? She seems oddly happy, which I won’t question. I suppose you’ll have to find out why she seems so happy. Or it could be pretend. I don’t know.

Es: Due south. Six o’clock. We’re halfway through already?

Jackalope: Yep, this is prisoner number six, Daiki Kawaguchi. He looks pretty strong. I’d be careful around him as well. He seems like the type to tell you off if you did something bad.

Es: That sounds like a father, Jackalope.

Jackalope: …

: Okay, I wouldn’t know that, alright? Leave me alone.

: Either way, you’ll find out their true colors eventually.

Es: Sure.

Jackalope: Alright, prisoner number seven, Isamu Takao. He looks pretty kind and nice. I’d believe his expression if his hand wasn’t in a fist. I’d be careful of him as well.

Es: It seems like there are loads of prisoners I have to be careful around. What happens if I get attacked by one of them? It feels awkward to say, but I don’t think I could put up a fight with the likes of Daiki and Isamu.

Jackalope: They can’t attack us, guards. Don’t worry.

Es: Guards? So… It’s not the same for the prisoners? They can attack each other?

Jackalope: Pretty much. That could happen, but it really depends on your judgment. [footsteps] Now, this is prisoner number eight, Mia Fukuda. I believe she’s around your age, Es.

Es: Eh? Around my age?

Jackalope: Yeah. I don’t know if you two would relate because of that, but if it helps you find the truth, then I guess I don’t mind. You need to determine if they’re good people by talking to them. It’s basically your duty as the prison guard.

Es: Oh, I see. So, interrogating them is the only way to determine if I should forgive them or not, even if I don’t want to at all.

Jackalope: You got it!

Es: You sound awfully like a parent, J. [laughs]

Jackalope: Well, I am supervising you, so… [laughs] Anyways, next prisoner. Prisoner number nine, Ryuu Seki. He looks… interesting. I don’t know. He seems like one of those people who pretend to be someone else. I wouldn’t know, I guess.

Es: …Well, that is an interesting comment, isn’t it?

Jackalope: Last is prisoner ten, Sora Mochizuki. She looks exhausted. I’d say make sure she doesn’t pass out on you, but that’d be seriously out of taste. I hope whatever she committed relieved her of her exhaustion.

Es: That’s ten.

Jackalope: And, that’s the end of all of the prisoners I have to introduce. You just have to talk to them afterward and decide things for yourself.

Es: Hey, J?

Jackalope: Hm?

Es: At eleven o’clock, there’s another cell. It’s pretty old, judging by how rusty it is and its lack of a lock.

Jackalope: Ah, don’t worry about it. There’s nothing.

Es: What do you mean there’s nothi– [bell rings] What the hell was that?

Jackalope: It’s finally time for you to finally meet the prisoners face-to-face! If you have any doubts or confusions – anything! – you have to kill them all now. You’re supposed to be the Warden. Don’t hesitate. Make the prisoners respect you and your authority.

Es: Well… I guess, J. I am MUGRAM’s Warden. That’s all I have to know about myself, right? There’s nothing else I have to know. I’m looking forward to it a little… Meeting all the prisoners here and learning of their murders. [Jacklaope makes a noise of understanding.] With my own will, I’ll reveal their sins. I can put some of my feelings aside and decide if I really want to forgive these murderers. I wonder what their thoughts are… I want to know the truth.

Jackalope: …I see, Es.

[mechanical sounds]

Jackalope: Good luck, Es. I believe in you.

Es: I can do this. It’s my first job as the Warden.

[ominous footsteps]

Es: Good day, prisoners. I am Es, your Warden. This is the MUGRAM prison. It exists to judge your sins, all ten of you prisoners. I may not know much about you, but I am aware that you are all murderers – And, that’s all I know. So, from now on, I’ll have you enlighten me about yourselves. Welcome to MUGRAM. Have a nice life in prison.

[voiddullahan]

Decided to do one of these finally! Gotta say, to be able to see the improvement?? Fucking wild and kind heartwarming.

Larger version in case this one sucks in quality here

[vintagedoctor]

Fuck it we ball. Imma share my oc cuz i love all of them and i wanna explain everything abt them

i dont have a name for them yet sadly but i got a pretty good image of what they look like and the lore and all that and yeah... typical oc creation stuff.

so we all know i love plague doctors. i mean my pfp is a plague doctor (its a retraced steve (from owl house) art but with one of my ocs) and my username is pun on plague doctors and uhh i repost plague doctor stuff. so i love them. i cant explain why i love them so much. like ive thought abt it and i genuinely cant tell anyone why. i honestly think they look cool and mysterious and thats it.

my oc, as im calling them rn, is just "VD" which is my username abbreviated. its serving me rn but i know i should come up with an actual name. im thinking something like Vyn or Doctor Vyn or smth but honestly nothing fits. its *my character* ya know? so thats why im struggling on the name. but VD serves me just fine for now

bc im shit at drawing i use any oc maker at my disposal. at first it was picrews then it was minecraft skins, then it was heroforge, and now im making them in baldurs gate 3 character creator

so now, to introduce VD, either drawn as a half elf or tiefling, depending on how im feeling and what version character im using (ill get to that later)

heres what i think is the base version (in baldurs gate ofc) believe me id have put a plage doctor mask on them if i could

thats like the good version, ig. a paladin who is chaotic good and just wants the best for everyone but doesnt mind commiting some crimes to get there. i love them and is usually the character i make for video games since its closest to who i am. pretty easy to rp.

heres the basic versions for minecraft. i mentioned exploring the design thru minecraft skins so ill be showing them too. also im pretty proud of them. the second one is not a purple villager but instead a plague doctor mask. the second skin has tons of lore attached to it, actually. (and yes im ashamed to say minecraft rp lore too... that was a phase)

you can see there will be similar choices between all of them... uhh.. i love the color purple. i put purple in every thing i build because i love it and i cannot explain why. just like i cannot explain why i love plague doctors, i love purple. so yes every character will have some purple on them. i love purple

this version of VD is usually the avatar i use for everything. however that character branched off to a minecraft rp character (oh god.. yep)

this is canon VD... like *that* minecraft server. i was like 16 so everything from this server is gonna be a bit cringe. but this version of VD, who ill call cult VD, for reasons explained later, has much more of a explored personality. they are kind, helpful, naive, and also have a connection with an ancient elderitch diety that takes the form of a demon horse. i should probably explain that servers lore at some point huh? i honestly do just to get some closure from that server.

cult VD starts worshipping this deity, as anyone else would do right, which leads to the cult moniker. on that minecraft server, i always carried an axe as my weapon, so i like to imagine cult VD has a battleaxe as their main weapon of choice. this heroforge is old, before i decided to make VD a half elf / tiefling so thats why the ears arent pointy and theres no horns. but we will get to that. this naive version of VD eventually breaks out of the control of this elderitch deity but is still haunted by it for the rest of their life.

above is the picrew for this version of VD, which does have horns and pointy ears because i made this much later. yeah i know a jacket over a breastplate makes no sense but the picrew let me do it so i did it. (i made this a while ago so i dont remember my uh artistic choices)

VD during the possession had their own minecraft skin (cuz ofc they did, silly me)

this is definitely not inspired by anything. nope nope. its all original. dont @ me lol. i liked this skin. i think its pretty simple and screams of minecraft smp with "lore". it speaks of a simpler time ig. if this was dnd character, theyd be a devotion paladin. i think devotion to an evil god could be very interesting tbh. i havent been able to explore that yet but its smth to put out there.

oh heres some actual original art i did for cult VD. very nice :D

im still pretty proud of this, knowing i cant draw for shit and i did this like two years ago when i sucked even more at drawing.

this here is a little sketch of cult VD under some math work back in junior year of highschool i think? this is the first time i actually was pretty proud of my art. the expression and the hands and the axe all looked really good. i like it a lot.

i think of this character as priest vd or cult vd. i like having corrupt preist characters. its so cool. like that one line from hells coming with me. oh god i made an animatic with that line and i could not get the animation right. "I am the righteous hand of god. I am the devil you forgot." that line is like the backbone of who the character is. only thing is the character had run its course way before i discovered the song. yeah cult vd is like hells coming with me, the pitiful children (from jeremys perspective), and rule 4 - fish in a birdcage. ya know, trauma. i love trauma :D (for my fictional characters ofc ofc omg)

if i ever make a breakdown of my first minecraft server "lore", then anyone can see im gonna skip two iterations and move onto uh.. how do i put this lightly. uh... revenant VD?

IM NOT COPYING ANYONE I SWEAR OMG! or atleast.. i didnt mean to... its gonna get pretty obvious soon that i took much creative liberties from a certain minecraft server during the pandemic.

anyways my favorite version of VD because how much i could do with them. oh revenant VD is so fun. :D

revenant VD is the edgy, dark version but has tons of potential. thats why i love them so much. i used to associate them with hayloft II but not anymore actually. i think little pistol, laplaces angel, two birds, maybe what could have been, and saint bernard. being edgy for the sake of edgy isnt good characterization but angst for a reason is smth i love. they hate everyone bcuz the world has consistently treated them like shit and so the only way to actually cope with it sensibly was to treat others like shit back. but a variant of revenant vd i love is when they r crazily evil. like maniac and murderious. i just eat that shit up omg i love it so much. i got that religious trauma, the betrayal trauma, and the trust issues for them. i got it all omg i love this character so much. i can do so much with them so i think thats why i love them so much.

heres an idea of how they look. its pretty similar to how cult vd looks but more wild ig?

around this time my art started getting more coherent

i like this one. idk the face came out really well and it kinda shows how i wanted them to be. these were all sketches in notebooks during school when i was bored. i eventually got a sketchbook but thats further down the timeline

heres the heroforge for revenant VD. i loved the trenchcoat idea and the blood on the mask never going away. i remember watching someone in my middle school theatre class perform that one monologue from macbeth where the lady starts going crazy over the blood never washing away from her hands. this was a long time ago but it stuck with me. i really liked that symbolism of the blood still on her hands and how it means guilt of her crime. it was so cool. i ruined it by making it magical blood that never came off bc revenant was cursed when they initially died; edgy for the sake of it, which i previously said isnt a good place for a character. i think ive refined the design further but its lost in notebook margins and scraps of paper. such a shame.

revenant VD i like to think is associated with death in some way. maybe being an undead and filled with rage at the circumstances of their death, or being a proponent of death, like a reaper. i like those ideas. i actually made that concept

this is in my sketchbook. i think one of the first things i drew in it. i love that sketchbook. i love scythes, both the two handed and one handed ones. i think they work perfectly with plague doctor reaper characters.

one thing i associate with the modern version of revenant is like a apostle of myrkul transformation in baldurs gate 3. this ofc is if revenant takes on a more antagonistic role instead of being a pc. i love that boss fight and really think sometine like it could fit with my little revenant vd.

i think revenant vd would actually be many things. first obviously oathbreaker paladin but thats obvious. i was also thinking phantom rogue for all the allusions to death. they could also be an undead warlock. if i were to play smth similar to revenant vd in dnd, id make a phantom rogue undead warlock multiclass. i think it works surprisingly well actually. i could ask the dm to have my patron (death) collect soul trinkets like reaping souls on a regular basis and each long rest i need to consume one of them to keep alive.

oh yeah thats something else i really want to explore with this character. because they are undead i want to explore their need to consume life to keep alive. in minecraft i played around with the idea of them needing to break totems of undying every once in a while but honestly that was because i had a totem farm and too many totems for my shulker box. but the idea of them needing to consume some form of sacred life to keep their undeath is something i love and want to play around with.

anyways revenant VD is my most versatile character. idk how an evil character can do so much but they can. i love them so much.

the last character that originated in the minecraft server and one im still working on is doctor VD or Doctor Vyn.

i just want some appreciation for the second variant which i never got to use at all. i had to find it on my minecraft launcher instead on namemc because i never used it. i just love it but no one appreciated it. :( the undone tie im still so proud of

i just put this in cuz its so gender omg i love it sm :D

i just made this heroforge cuz i didnt have one. i never got to properly explore this character idea so its the one i keep trying to bring back. i think actually exploring the doctor part in plague doctor so thats why this iteration just keeps haunting me.

i think this iteration would be either an alchemist or artilerist artificer. this iteration was the last character i made for the minecraft server and it didnt go well. they were burnt out from the chaos they caused while serving death ig and just wanted to settle and research why they were able to come back. it was called "death research" and i had so many plans in minecraft. i should make a post about my ideas for the servers afterlife and stuff. its rough but i was trying. and def had no inspirations from that one minecraft server that everyone knew about.

this is the start of my descent into doctor madness. god i made so many ocs that r just doctors. i had variations of the artificer doctor and a rogue and i just went crazy. its still a character i want to play, ya know actually going into the doctor part of plague doctor. for now imma put a pin in the doctor research thingy and move onto season 2 of the server.

yes we had a season 2.

it had much less people than the first season and ran a couple months shorter than season 1. "lore" never started, not like how it was in s1. back then i was really disappointed but looking with hindsight, im glad it never got off the ground. we tried so many things. omg. but ill go over those later.

first: my character. i called them winterhold VD.

heres the skin i used for winterhold vd. i previously changed the mask color for a minecraft skin i barely used and so i did it here and it looks good. i think this skin looks more coherent than the ones from season 1.

heres winterhold vd with a little silly xmas hat. honestly playing in a snowy area while it was winter was really fun. it doesnt snow where i live so i kinda got that aesthetic in minecraft. it was honestly perfect. i loved building in the snowy patches and having large campfires and light sources to melt away the snow to clear paths. it was practical but also fed into our citys story.

anyways lastly we have the heroforge. i love this heroforge. somehow i managed to perfect replicate how the minecraft skin looked using the limited clothes in heroforge. the scythe makes an appearance for something explained later

i love this season a lot bc we had an actual theme. my group lived ontop a massive snowy mountain, almost like a plateau and i built viking like structures. it was so fun. the main "plot point" i remember was that we struggled with food for so long. we took over the village on the plateau and the farms were so sparse. there were like 4 of us that needed to be fed. oh also before we even got to the food problem, we had to fend off others since everyone wanted the mountain view. anyways, we had barely any food. i took charge and started growing lines of potatoes and wheat. if u dont know, in minecraft, growing crops in alternating lines actually make them grow faster. i cleared out a large patch in the middle of the village and spent days farming potatoes and wheat. i loved how the scythe ties that part of winterholds story in. we went from barely surviving and needing to jump off the mountainside to our dooms to refill our hunger to having a full chest of yummy potatoes. when we got access to the nether roof, my friend made her famous porkchop farm and we had even more food. it was such a good story from the actual gameplay and not planned at all.

but i had to ruin it, ofc.

i loved the story of us growing from nothing to a thriving nordic city so i decided to take it a step further. i thought it could be interesting if VD wanted more. they became obsessed with excess. they never wanted to run out of resources ever again. they started building more farms. more and more. farms we really didnt need, like a massive cactus farm and more crop fields. it was so much and we barely had any space to store any of it. finally VD asked their friend to expand the farms and build an industrial district far from winterhold. it was so far that the ice highway we built still took around 2 mins to get there. in that area my friend and i tried to build every farm imaginable. we got nowhere close. but it was definitely fun.

i really wanted to be the evil capitalist, something akin to how outer worlds is described in the fine print. but i never got anywhere close. that lore never shot off.

this server was in 1.19 so i really wanted to do something with sculk. so i started.. uh sculk research. this is going back to the doctor oc. i cleared out an ancient city and start slowly renovating the center out - i never got further than in the center structure. i was really proud of the little lab i made in the redstone area. it had test chambers and a library and a desk area. all pretty standard for a lab right? VD really wanted to study what sculk is and how it works. i as the person making the story and everything, kinda had nothing to go off of. sculk was completely fictional and original. (genuinely good job mojang). i had the minecraft "lore" vids from retrogamingnow and game theory but like i wasnt gonna copy those was i? i really wanted to do smth with the big portal in the center of the ancient city and sculk as a power source (i forgot which channel came up with that). i thought it could be cool if VD discovered how to open the portal and it led to the universe from s1. (yeah that multiversal shit everyone was tired of by 2023) but i really wanted to try it. it got nowhere. i had plans where the portal would open and revenant vd would step out, looking into the fresh new world to cause more carnage.

this is the skin i had planned for the whole thing. i have an alt acc i wanted to control along side my main acc. with hindsight, this would have been impossible to do to the scale i wanted. thats why this never got anywhere. i think this is where i realized i never fully got over revenant VD. this is a feeling that wont really go away.

we finally get the last iteration, as of now, of VD. it gets to be less of a character and more of just a persona for the current minecraft im playing on. i got tired of the doctor aesthetic and but still wanted to "research" so i created a wizard. honestly i just wanted an excuse to build with purple blocks. after some revisions, which are sadly public on my namemc profile i landed on

i love this skin. i wanted my whole aesthetic to be questionably evil. my base *looks* like it can be evil but the inside looks cozy and bright. theres an evil basement but nothing sinister has happened, yet. i dont think anything sinister is going to happen.

im taking a route closer to hermitcraft than rp servers. they make an aesthetic, build by it, maybe change their skin, and have fun rp moments. i like how simple that is. impulse, gem, grian, scar, and mumbo are all good examples of this. as of now, im tired of minecraft rp like i had it before. honestly ttrpgs are much better suited for this or just straight up acting. i will miss those angst moments and making skins for each "phase" of my character but the trend is dead and my friends are tired. the current server has been really clean of serious minecraft rp. its just been us fucking around for the most part. i dont want that to change. at this point im actively shutting down any attempts for serious rp. this is minecraft, we are friends, and we dont need to pretend to hate each other. it made keeping the actual friend ships hard. we barely scripted anything so everything was improv. BIG mistake first of all. but also that meant i had to come up with conflicts and deal with conflict while staying in character. i couldnt do it. it broke me and im glad im not doing something like that ever again.

anyways that that got deep. now i wanna quickly go thru some honorable mentions. personas im proud of but didnt need a whole section dedicated to them. oo boy, time to scroll thru my minecraft launcher

first up my desert cleric skin

i really like this one. i used in a minecraft event where we were all trapped in a big desert and had to make a village. it was my first minecraft event for that youtuber and i think i really killed the character. i made a temple and farmed potatoes for the people. food was hard to get and potatoes are easiest thing to farm. i was a "peace loving, pun slinging, potato farming person, definitely not copied from anyone else" i slowly became a favorite in the village, mostly bc it took a while to farm the potatoes and distribute them. im really proud of the muted purple mask, matching the purple robe. i tried it with my usual bright purple but it just didnt look right. this muted purple fits into the muted tones of the desert really well.

well now shoutout to the 1.19 update cuz

this one i love also. it kinda inspired the whole sculk corruption thing i was going for. i wore this skin sometimes but i could never find a fit for it. i guess i had it when 1.19 came out and was exploring it but outside of that and maybe "lore" it has no other use. ig other than looking cool. cuz it looks really cool.

oh god ok i do want to talk abt this one cuz i think its cool but oh god im gonna really make the furry alegations get worse

this was a skin i made for an origins server my friends had when that was popular. i was the origin "felvaxian" from the origins ++ mod. really good mod but holy shit was the felvaxian op. it was flavored to be a mix between a cat and crow but the naming scheme made no sense. i think it was an original idea, which.. like yeah made sense. it was so op but so fun. i had like a constant 9 block jump, took no fall damage, had an invisible elytra, the inventory from the shulker origin, constant night vision, and when i crouched i went completely invis. the only downsides was that i was a carnivore and i hungered quicker. we fixed that with a porkchop farm very quickly. but i loved the origin and that server dearly. i made a cat tree for a base. it was the perfect height off the ground where my jump could make it but no one else could get on. only other origins with movement abilities could make it which was very interesting. i actually was so happy with the design i made a heroforge of it

like winterhold vd, i was pretty proud of how this came out. it looked exactly like the skin. i later modded the pack to show the wings and get rid of the ugly filter, making this my perfect origin. i just love it too much.

uh next up has nothing to do any story or anything, i just wanted to show it off

im kenough

(if i couldnt get the actual sweater, i had to atleast get a minecraft version of it)

now to get festive. im just gonna show all these at once since theyre my festive skins

anyways happy halloween in summer, heh

ok tumblr is yelling at me because i reached the picture limit. so ill just make a part two. dang tumblr. i didnt know there was a photo limit. so uh yeah see ya in part 2

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞 (𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝐒𝐮𝐳𝐮𝐦𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝟑 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚)

Suzume: When is Taro-kun coming for me?

Haruto: Um.

Suzume: Is he coming?

Haruto: He's on his way. In the meantime, let's talk about what brought you here in the first place.

Suzume: How long before he gets here?

Haruto: Let's see if he can get here after I extract your music video. During your last interrogation, you said that you had to kill to protect your boyfriend.

Suzume: Yes. She wouldn't stop bothering him.

Haruto: Stalking?

Suzume: Hm, yes.

Haruto: Really?

Suzume: Taro-kun told me he told her to back off multiple times, but she kept trying to flirt with him. It made him uncomfortable.

Haruto: That's what he told you?

Suzume: What?

Haruto: Taro-kun sounds like a strong guy. Why did he need you to handle things for him?

Suzume: He didn't. I just did it for him.

Haruto: Why?

Suzume: To protect him.

Haruto: Is that all there is to it?

Suzume: Yes. I want him to be happy.

Haruto: I think you did it so he would appreciate you.

Suzume: ...

Haruto: Am I wrong?

Suzume: You don't know what you're talking about.

Haruto: Don't I?

Suzume: Taro-kun appreciates me as I am.

Haruto: Your trial 1 music video indicates otherwise.

Suzume: He- He gets angry sometimes, that's all.

Haruto: You guys argue?

Suzume: It's easier to let him get it out of his system.

Haruto: So you let him yell at you.

Suzume: We tolerate each other's outbursts.

Haruto: I'm sure even you recognize signs of abuse.

Suzume: I'm not an angel either.

[Bell rings, mechanical sounds in the back.]

Haruto: There's plenty you haven't told me yet.

Suzume: Let my music video speak for itself.

Haruto: Fine. Prisoner 004, sing your sins!

[MV description - SEVER]

"Being with you, my heart goes aflutter.

Is this what love feels like?

I've never felt anything like it."

The MV starts with Suzume hanging onto her boyfriend's black silhouette as they walk through the monochrome maze of mirrors from her first MV. She's properly drawn and coloured, her face fully visible. All the mirrors they walk past are shattered.

"This feeling, I think I've gotten addicted to it.

The rush, the pain, the happy bappa-bump of my heart.

Am I doing it wrong?

I wish I could give you a happy love story."

A scene of Suzume and her boyfriend sitting side by side in a living room, watching TV. A few love letters, decorated with pink hearts, are laid out messily on the table in front of them. The frame glitches, revealing the letters to be overdue rent bills. The wallpaper begins to peel off, revealing moldy walls beneath.

"This isn't like any generic love song,

there's a problem in the shape of me.

But you don't see it. You don't see it so it'll be alright.

Until someone comes along to ruin our love."

The camera cuts back to Suzume and her boyfriend's silhouette in the maze. A gold silhouette appears, wearing matching pendants as Suzume, down to the piece of morganite. Suzume gasps, gritting her teeth as she stares down the gold silhouette.

"Why are you okay with this?

Even though she won't leave you alone.

If its for the sake of protecting you, I'll do anything."

The camera seems to be in Suzume's pov now. She stalks closer to a blonde woman in an alleyway. Clouds shroud the moon. The woman fixes her hair, turned away from Suzume who slowly creeps up behind her. Suzume raises her bat. She goes for the legs first.

"Is this okay? For me to be your knight in shining armor.

I hope I didn't do anything too wrong."

Suzume raises her head, breathing heavily, golden glowing liquid splashed across her face. The camera zooms out to show a gold silhouette lying on the ground, bleeding the same golden liquid. The frame glitches, split seconds of the golden liquid being shown as blood and the silhouette as the woman.

"I didn't think you would go this far," Taro presses his fingers to his cheek, deep in thought. Its the first time his face is being shown.

"The rush, the pain, the happy bappa-bump of my heart.

This happy love story, don't let it end yet.

What do I do? I've never felt anything like this."

Suzume's eyes widen, expression morphing into one of uneasiness. Taro turns away from her, distracted with something else. "DON'T LEAVE ME" flashes all across the frame. She reaches for a boxcutter in her jacket pocket, clasping her fingers around it.

it's time, yurika.. it's time.. I REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER FINAL VERDICT LIKE WHAT IF SHE ACTUALLY GETS A FULL GUILTY COMBO. i do still feel bad for her though.. but i also want to write her execution.. hm...

Warnings for Yurika's VD: a mention of sexual harassment, implications of Yurika and Takame's relationship being toxic or at least somewhat unhealthy, Yurika ends up having a mental breakdown.

Warnings for Yurika's MV: there are heavy implications of violence and murder, but all of it is "censored" in a way and is not detailed, aside from some blood imagery closer to the end.

(sounds of footsteps)

Hinode: So.. You did it.

Hinode: You told him the truth.

Hinode: He accepted it surprisingly quickly, haha.

Miki: Yes, and I'm glad..

Miki: Hehe.. I still can't believe he had a feeling that I really am his sister. Maybe that's why he always wanted to spend so much time with me.

Hinode: I'm very happy for you, but..

Hinode: Please don't forget your duties, Miki-san.

Hinode: Yurika-san has been voted guilty twice. Her final verdict is especially important.

Hinode: Maybe she will have a chance to live if we vote her innocent..

Hinode: But if not.. She will definitely get a death penalty.

Miki: .. Right.

(the door opens)

Yurika: A-ah, you're here.

Miki: Yes, um.. Is something wrong?

Hinode: You look nervous, Yurika-san.

Hinode: You know we were supposed to interrogate you today, right?

Yurika: .. I-I'm most likely going to get my head cut off by the end of this, are you expecting me to act chill about it?!

(the screen turns on)

Eiji: Or maybe you will be executed in a different way. Who knows.

Yurika: I-it's you!

Yurika: Oh, what, are you too scared to interrogate me in person?

Eiji: This is for my own safety-

Yurika: Okay, coward. 

Yurika: Actually, who will even execute me if it comes to it? 

Yurika: Or more like.. when it comes to it?

Miki: Now that I think about it..

Miki: I-I don't know.

Eiji: I was hoping that I would be the one doing the execution.

Hinode: Jackalope never mentioned anything about how the executions happen, but..

Hinode: .. I have a feeling that it's not gonna be our job.

Miki: Huh?

Hinode: We're responsible only for the prisoners' verdicts and what happens after that.

Hinode: Death penalty sounds like a big deal. Like, it's nothing like Eiji-san's punishments or the memory machine.

Hinode: So I don't think that we'll be the ones doing it.

Eiji and Miki: ...

Yurika: ..Who the fuck is Jackalope?

Yurika: And hellooooo, can we get started already?

Yurika: Actually, I have a question for you all.

Miki: But we're supposed to interrogate you and-

Yurika: Take a look at this.

Miki: ..It looks like a letter.

Yurika: Oh, it sure does. Now, do you remember what I got for Christmas?

Miki: ...

Yurika: Come onnnn, Miki. Think, think, think.

Miki: .. A-are you implying that I wrote this?

Yurika: Ohh, and why do you think that I'm blaming only you for this? You're not the only guard here, you know?

Yurika: Unless you see yourself as the only guard.

Miki: ...

Hinode: Yurika-san, may I ask what does the letter say?

Yurika: No, you may not.

Yurika: Look, I know my manager's handwriting. And this was not written by her.

Yurika: .. I have to admit that the way in which the letter is written.. sounds a lot like something she would say.

Hinode: .. Now this is interesting.

Hinode: So, the handwriting is different, but if you ignore that, the letter looks like something she would write?

Yurika: .. What are you implying?

Hinode: Well, you see, Yurika-san, we still don't know what exactly your other job was.

Hinode: So I was thinking, if it was something really dangerous and illegal, what if-

Yurika: Don't you say another word.

Yurika: You're trying to say that she's associated with Milgram in some way, right?

Hinode: Well, they couldn't just take ten random people and-

Yurika: She wouldn't do that.

Yurika: She wouldn't do this to me.

Yurika: I'll tell you what my other job was, just don't even think of blaming her for all of this.

Yurika: .. Takame-san wasn't an angel. But she was one to me. 

Yurika: She did a lot of things that this society would call evil, but she gave me money, food and a place I could call home. 

Yurika: .. She wouldn't just send me here for no reason.

Hinode: But what if she had a reason-

Yurika: If you keep acting like this, I'll start thinking you're the one who wrote the letter.

Eiji: Why do you even care about this letter so much? It's like you care about it more than your verdict.

Yurika: 'Cause my verdict doesn't matter. 

Yurika: You all will just keep playing with our lives, voting us innocent or guilty based on your own likes and dislikes, so in the end there will never be any true justice for the victims. Or us, if you still care about us.

Eiji: ...

Yurika: So why should I care? Go on, vote a guy like Kei innocent. Do it! His crimes don't matter as long as he's attractive!

Yurika: Do it. Fucking kill me already. 

Yurika: Just at least answer my question first.

Yurika: .. Who wrote the letter?

Miki: .. We don't know either. Sorry.

Yurika: ...

Yurika: .. Fine. 

Yurika: *sighs* Anyway, you wanna know about my other job, right?

Miki: Yes. 

Miki: And we want to know what exactly you did to your victims and why.

Yurika: .. Well, what do you think my other job was?

Yurika: Hey, Eiji, have any theories?

Eiji: .. I can definitely say that it's something you've done many times and it's also something you were okay with doing for the money. 

Eiji: Your second video also made me feel like.. It's something you were taught to see as a good thing.

Eiji: Maybe you even saw it as a way to.. help people in some way.

Miki: "Eiji-san is really trying his best.. I guess I should've expected that he would know a lot about stuff like that because of his family.."

Miki: ".. But he has never actually killed anyone, right?"

Eiji: .. Hey. 

Eiji: Did you have to be really careful while doing it? 

Yurika: .. Y-yeah. Yeah, I've made a few mistakes before, but with Takame-san's help, I-

Eiji: You got a lot of money for it, right?

Yurika: Definitely more than what I got for working at a maid cafe.

Eiji: Did it feel gross? 

Yurika: What kind of question is that?!

Yurika: I-I mean, imagine a girl like me, who was so used to always getting what she wants no matter what, suddenly going through someone's insides-

Yurika: !

Hinode: ...

Miki: .. W-what..

Yurika: .. Haha. You got me. Congrats.

Eiji: .. Was it organ harvesting?

Yurika: .. Yeah. Yeah. 

Yurika: That's what I was ready to do for a living. I was that desperate.

Yurika: Just so you understand. Yes, we kidnapped people. Yes, we killed them.

Yurika: Yes, most of those people were our customers. That's one of the reasons why Takame-san came up with the idea of having a maid cafe.

Yurika: Look, fine, I killed more than ten of those guys to have their organs harvested, but who cares?! 

Yurika: Like, yes, it was some kind of.. you know, black market stuff that I never bothered to learn more about and Takame-san never told me and just said to see it as a good thing, because maybe their organs will actually be useful or something..

Yurika: BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THEM?! MOST OF THEM LIVED ALONE, THEY HAD NO ONE TO MISS THEM, NOBODY CARES WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!

Yurika: SO MANY OF THEM HAVE HARASSED ME AND MY COWORKERS NOT ONCE, BUT MULTIPLE TIMES! TAKAME-SAN TOLD ME THAT THEY DESERVED TO DIE!

Miki: ...

Eiji: ...

Eiji: .. They.. really did not deserve to live.

Yurika: Right?! I just.. I just..

Yurika: *starts crying* I just.. I didn't want to feel like I was.. 

Yurika: Doing something bad..

Yurika: Takame-san kept saying that it's okay..

Yurika: "It's their fault", "We're not in the wrong"..

Yurika: S-she always hugged me after we were done and tried to comfort me..

Yurika: E-even if I fucked things up, e-even if I cried, even if I said I can't do it a-anymore..

Yurika: I-it's like.. s-she really.. loved me..

Hinode: .. So if those murders weren't really.. your fault, since you were only an accomplice..

Hinode: It's safe to assume that you're here for something you've done on your own?

Yurika: Takame-san helped me with it, of course, but..

Yurika: I-it was mostly my idea.

Yurika: T-that's probably why I'm here.

Miki: ..W-why did you kill them?

Yurika: .. One of them was really curious about my job, for whatever reason.

Yurika: Probably because she had a blog and didn't know what to post about or something..

Yurika: A-and she just.. kept getting on my nerves.

Yurika: She wanted to learn everything about me. Sometimes it felt like she was literally stalking me.

Miki: ".. Her first interrogation.."

Yurika: Her brother helped her too. So, uh, eventually they did find out and..

Yurika: .. I-I couldn't do this anymore.

Yurika: I needed them to die. 

Yurika: "How could you do something like this just for money?" SHUT UP! SHUT UP, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME!

Yurika: They needed to die. They deserved to die.

Yurika: I-it's okay, nobody would miss them anyway.. Who cares.. 

Yurika: Sure, they were pretty, I guess, they were popular, I guess..

Yurika: But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine..

Eiji: .. She's losing it.

Miki: I-I can see that.

Hinode: Since her manager is not with her, she's trying to comfort herself without her help.

Hinode: And I don't think it's working.

(bell rings, machinery sounds)

Eiji: We should extract her video. Hopefully she doesn't realize what's happening.

Miki: R-right..

Miki: Prisoner-

Yurika: NO!

Yurika: PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!

Yurika: YOU'RE JUST GOING TO VOTE ME GUILTY AGAIN! YOU JUST WANT TO KILL ME ALREADY, DON'T YOU?!

Eiji: Didn't you say that you're okay with that?!

Yurika: SHUT UP, I'VE REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT MY LIFE IS! 

Yurika: Or.. no, no, it's not important at all..

Yurika: Actually.. I don't think anyone would care if I died.. Even Takame-san..

Yurika: .. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DIE!

Yurika: PLEASE, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH ME, PUNISH ME IN ANY WAY YOU WANT, USE MY BODY AS A TOY TO PLAY WITH, FORCE ME TO BECOME A MAID EVEN FOR THE FUTURE PRISONERS OR SOMETHING!

Yurika: JUST PLEASE, DON'T-

Yurika: ...

Yurika: H-huh?..

Yurika: What is going on?..

Miki: "Looks like the machine worked.."

Miki: Hey. Hey, you're okay. 

Miki: You're fine.

Yurika: W-who are you?.. W-what is this place?

Yurika: What are you-

Miki: Prisoner 008, Yurika, for the last time, sing your sins.

[ Yurika's Trial 3 MV: Secret Ingredient ]

The video starts with showing us a dark forest. We can see a young man and woman walking, looks like they're around the same age. They look nervous, but for some reason they keep going and it looks like they're looking for something or someone. 

"Hey, hey, what are you two doing here?

Maybe you should stop sticking your nose into other people's business?

Come on, just let me live!

Like what do you want me to do? Reward you and say how brave you are?"

Suddenly, they hear someone's steps and while the man tries to leave, the woman makes him stay and listens closer to the steps. She tries to follow that mysterious person and she's really determined to find them. She sees that person's footprints and as she stops to take a closer look, we can see someone sneaking up from behind and hitting her on the head with something that looks like a broom.

"Oh well, don't say I didn't warn you

This is what happens to disgusting people like you

Justice? Morals? Oh, shut up!

You would do the same if you were me"

The woman opens her eyes. She's sitting on a chair and everything around her looks like it's made out of candy. The colors are very cute and nice to look at. She notices that she's not alone and someone is sitting in front of her. That someone smiles and waves their hand at her.

It's Yurika who looks like she's dressed as a witch. 

"So you wanted to know what I do? Let me give you a tour!

Trust me, it's 100% safe

Nobody gets out of here alive, but that's okay!

You wouldn't want to continue living after being here"

The woman gets more nervous and she tries to talk to Yurika, but Yurika doesn't seem interested and instead turns to the door. The door opens and Takame, who is also dressed up as a witch, walks in. Yurika smiles and runs up to Takame to hug her. Takame smiles back and pats her on the head. 

"But I have everything I've ever wanted here

This is my home, it's perfect for someone like me

I've found love, money, warmth and my purpose

I guess you could say I'm completely satisfied"

The woman meanwhile tries to leave, but fails because Takame notices and pushes Yurika away. Yurika doesn't seem to mind and even seems excited about what Takame is about to do. The woman falls on the floor because of how scared she is. Takame simply smiles at her and claps her hands. 

Everything goes dark.

Now it's the man opening his eyes. The scene takes place outside of the house and both him and the woman from earlier are tied up. Yurika laughs at them as Takame is making a fire with her magic. 

"What do you two think you're doing? Hey, hey, don't you know it's dangerous here?

Well, it's your fault now, shouldn't have taken a walk in the woods when it's this dark

What should we do with you? Should we tie you up? Should we cut off your limbs?

I bet you two taste like fear and betrayal, let me take a bite!"

The woman looks at the fire and at their ropes and it looks like she's asking Yurika what's going on. Yurika smiles and pulls out a knife. The woman starts shaking as Yurika gets closer to her and gets surprised when Yurika cuts her ropes. 

"So you want to know why am I like this? Why do I do this?

Don't I feel any shame? Don't I feel any guilt?

Here's the thing: no matter how many times you point at me and say "Guilty"

I won't feel anything, I'm too busy trying to survive"

The woman thinks that she's free for a moment, but then we see her face expression suddenly change and it looks like she's in great pain. We see Yurika stabbing her in the stomach, but the blood looks.. weird. It's pastel pink and sparkly. Yurika doesn't even look at the man and simply walks past him and we see that the reason why he didn't do anything at all and why we haven't seen much of him is because he was already close to dying because of being stabbed in the chest and now he's clearly dead while his eyes are still open. His blood is the same as the woman's.

"I just want to live, I just want to live

Can someone let me live a normal life

I've never wanted this, but it looks like I was born for this

It's like I was born to be a witch ready to be burned"

Takame walks up to the man and puts her hand on his chest. It's unclear what she's trying to do at first, but then we see her trying to make the wound bigger and "opening up" his chest, making everything even more bloody. She tries to grab something out of his wound and it's revealed to be some candies. She throws them and Yurika quickly catches them and puts them inside of a bucket that has a Halloween pumpkin drawn on it. Later, we see that the bucket is completely full and that Takame is now doing the same thing with the woman and Yurika is helping her. Their hands are bloody and they have some blood on their faces and clothes as well, but they don't care. 

"Actually, I think what I do is great!

We're helping people, at least that's what I want to believe

Don't blame me, blame the system

Blame the society, just please, blame everyone but me!"

When they're finally done, Takame gives Yurika a nod and Yurika excitedly runs up to the fire and starts burning the bodies. The bodies start to melt, looking like they were made out of ice cream or something similar. At least we can say for sure that the bodies look like they definitely aren't human. 

"I just wanted to live, I still want to live

Don't hunt me down, don't light me on fire

I still have something to hope for, something to fight for, something to live for

Something to kill for, something to destroy for, something I'm too scared to die for"

When the bodies are gone, Takame walks up to Yurika and holds her hand. Yurika blushes and looks really happy. They watch the fire become brighter and brighter and they start to dance. While dancing, Yurika trips and it looks like she's about to fall.

"So just save me with your love-shaped candy already-"

The setting changes completely. It looks like some kind of dark room. We can see blood on the walls. It's dark red. It's real human blood and not like what we've seen earlier. We hear something being dropped on the floor. The music stops playing. We hear Yurika say "I'll go get it". We can hear her steps.

Suddenly, we see Yurika, with empty eyes, messy hair, a medical mask, and it looks like she's looking for what she had dropped. Except it looks like we're looking at her from the POV of that thing. She grabs us with her hand.

The video ends.

[tempural]

More romance charts. This time for Vicky and Angus since I just released my short film about 'em.

Angus and Vicky are some of my oldest OCs, I made them back in high school. I tend to create characters in pairs... They're made to emulate classic yaoi: both of them being in an 80's rock band, one of them being big eyed and annoying and the other being a stoic "suit seme"... except this suit seme is an uke. Oops! All ukes with squidward personalities!

Pre Trial 1 Voice Drama- "NUMEN"

The Overseer: “Come on, sleepy head, get up.”

Numen: “Ugh… Fine, but my head is hurting a lot…”

The Overseer: “You’ll be fine. Try taking some deep breaths.”

Numen: “No need for that, it’s just a headache, after all.”

The Overseer: “If you say so…”

The Overseer: “Now then, you already understand everything, correct?”

Numen: “About Elysium? Of course! I’m ready to do what I need to!”

The Overseer: “Excited, aren’t you now? Well, then we should get going.”

Numen: “Huh? To where?”

The Overseer: “The souls should wake up soon by the Garden of Satus. We need to be there to greet them.”

Numen: “Okay then!

… But I don’t know where that is…”

The Overseer: “I can guide you.”

Numen: “Um… You can’t really show me when you’re not really here…”

The Overseer: “That’s what all of the TVs are for.”

Numen: “How were you able to install that much TVs?!”

The Overseer: “Don’t worry about the petty details, just follow where my image appears.”

Numen: “Okay…”

[footsteps, door opening]

The Overseer: “The room you just left is yours, Numen.”

Numen: “That’s my room, huh? 

The style is… Very nature-like.”

The Overseer: “What does that even mean?”

 Numen: “Forget it…

But, why is it so deep underground?”

The Overseer: “It was necessary for reasons I will not disclose.”

Numen: “Figures…”

[more sounds of footsteps]

Numen: “I’m finally at the top…”

[door opening]

Numen: “UGH! My eyes!”

The Overseer: “The sun is very bright here, indeed. Don’t want any of you to be lacking in vitamin C.”

Numen: “Isn’t it vitamin D, though?”

The Overseer: “Don’t correct me. Just keep walking”

Numen: “Okay…”

[footsteps on grass]

The Overseer: “Here we are. At the center of Elysium. The place that connects to the three major facilities of this place. I like to call it ‘The Centrum Vitae’.”

Numen: “It’s beautiful…”

The Overseer: “I know, right?”

The Overseer: “Now then, let me show you each facility here.”

Numen: “Okay!”

The Overseer: “So, to your right, we have basically somewhere for the souls to enjoy themselves in. 

We have a dining hall, a library, bathrooms, game rooms and much more.

All of the souls have free access to it, so it’s basically a luxury hotel completely for free. I like to call it, ‘Pantheon libertatis’. Pretty cool, don’t you think?”

Numen: “I think it’s great! The souls deserve this after going through so much in their lives!”

Numen: “But… Why is the name of everything in latin?”

The Overseer: “I don’t see a problem with it.”

Numen: “Okay then.”

The Overseer: “So, to your left, we have… The place where the songs and videos will be extracted. And where you’ll talk to each of the souls individually.”

Numen: “Oh… So this is it.

It’s much gloomier than the rest of this place.”

The Overseer: “It’s natural to be this way, after all, this is where the verdicts will be chosen. This place is called ‘Et Locus Fati’.”

Numen: “....”

The Overseer: “Why are you so quiet, all of a sudden?”

Numen: “It’s… Nothing.”

The Overseer: “Well then, if you look to your center…. You will see the main attraction of this place. ‘The Garden of Satus’. The place where all of the souls actually reside right now. It’s where all of their rooms are.”

Numen: “... So this is it. I’ll finally meet them.”

The Overseer: “Are you ready to step inside…?”

Numen: “I was born ready.”

The Overseer: “Well then, let’s go.”

[footsteps on grass]

[door opening]

The Overseer: “Here we are, Angel.”

Numen: “It’s so big…”

The Overseer: “Do you see each of those doors?

They all belong to a soul.”

Numen: “There’s exactly 10 of them…

Are they… Sleeping?”

The Overseer: “Yes. But they will awake shortly.

So, we still have time to introduce you to each of them.”

Numen: “I would appreciate that!”

The Overseer: “So, let’s start from the beginning. Here is the first one.

Soul N. 01- Aoi Rinshou.”

The Overseer: “This one had a pretty angry face when we first brought him here, he doesn’t seem very happy.”

Numen: “Don’t worry. I’m sure he just needs to get used to it!”

The Overseer: “If that’s what you believe in, then so be it.”

The Overseer: “Moving on, we have the room of the next one.

Soul N.02- Emari Yamazaki.”

The Overseer: “She was quite the friendly teenage girl, let me tell you that.”

Numen: “Teenage girl?!”

The Overseer: “Why so surprised? You haven’t even seen the worst one from here.”

Numen: “This is…. Horrible!”

The Overseer: “You have all the time in the world to worry about that later, let’s just continue.”

The Overseer: “Over here, we have the next one.

Soul N.03- Syouga Hara.”

The Overseer: “This one is quite the oddball. He’s completely unpredictable, even for me.”

Numen: “And… Is that a bad thing?”

The Overseer: “That’s for you to decide.”

The Overseer: “For the next one, we have,

Soul N.04- Reika Esaki.”

The Overseer: “I doubt you’ll ever get fond of this one, she’s a bastard through and through.”

Numen: “I doubt she can be that bad, no human is truly pure evil.”

The Overseer: “And no human is pure good.”

Numen: “.... What?”

The Overseer: “.... Moving on.

Here we have Soul N.05- Haru Akatori.”

The Overseer: “Well, at least this one is a slightly older teenager. He’s 18!”

Numen: “... That doesn’t make it any better.”

The Overseer: “You’re so gloomy now.”

The Overseer: “Well, to light up your spirit, the next is the oldest one. 

Soul N.06- Harlow Sasaki.”

The Overseer: “But… I don’t have any information about her other than that.”

Numen: “... Why not?”

The Overseer: “It’s very hard to get a grip on what she's like, she almost never shows any emotion.”

The Overseer: “But I'm sure you’ll be able to do it.”

Numen: “Why is she the only one who doesn’t have a japanese name so far…?”

The Overseer: “That’s… Quite the mystery, isn’t it?”

The Overseer: “Next up, we have Soul N.07- Genki Tomita.”

The Overseer: “And…. He’s even more of a slightly older teenager! Isn’t that just great?”

Numen: “Stop doing that. It’s not funny.”

The Overseer: “Party pooper…”

The Overseer: “Well, if you didn’t like that, you’ll surely like this one, Soul N.08- Saki Satou.”

The Overseer: “She’s… A slightly YOUNGER teenager!”

Numen: “I SAID STOP!”

The Overseer: “....

Touchy today, aren’t you?”

The Overseer: “Well, we finally arrived at the last two with Soul N.09- Eisuke Tanaka.”

The Overseer: “There’s nothing special to say about him, he’s quite generic.”

Numen: “What do you mean?”

The Overseer: “I mean that he’s very indistinguishable from a normal person, which is not the case for a lot of people here.”

Numen: “Is that so…

Hey, I forgot to ask you something.”

The Overseer: “Hm? What is it?”

Numen: “Everyone here died… Right?”

The Overseer: “Yes?”

Numen: “Did… Someone here die because of suicide…?”

The Overseer: “.... No. No one here died as a direct result of suicide.”

The Overseer: “However, when it comes to have ATTEMPTED suicide. That’s not something I can say.”

Numen: “... I see…”

The Overseer: “So, we finally arrived at the last one.

Soul N.10- Akari Yonem.”

The Overseer: “If you were outraged by the teenagers before, you’ll completely break with her. She’s exactly 10 years old.”

Numen: “.... What…?!”

The Overseer: “To have died so young… Such a shame.”

Numen: “So young is an understatement.

She had her whole life ahead of her! And it was all taken away! What kind of sick joke is this?!”

The Overseer: “Don’t get so worked up, death always targets the most unexpected individuals.”

Numen: “...”

The Overseer: “So… We’re done. Do you have any kind of final thoughts?”

Numen: “.... I’m saving them all.”

The Overseer: “What?”

Numen: “They all deserve a second chance. A second life, a life they will truly enjoy to live in. 

They didn’t deserve what they got. We need to help them. I need to help them. This is my stance, my choice as a human being.”

The Overseer: “... Hey, let me give you a tip.”

The Overseer: “Don’t go thinking that all of those people were completely innocent victims.”

Numen: “... What?”

The Overseer: “You heard what I said.”

Numen: “.... Nothing they could have done would make them not deserve Salvation.”

The Overseer: “... Look out, my Angel.

That’s a really dangerous mindset to have.”

Numen: “.... What do you mean?”

The Overseer: “... If you continue like this, you’ll get hurt even more when you discover that most, if not all, has done something unforgivable in their lifes.

Murderers, liars, manipulators…. Those types of people are all here.”

Numen: “....!”

The Overseer: “... Cat got your tongue?”

Numen: “.... Hey… Can I ask one more question…?”

The Overseer: “Go ahead.”

Numen: “... What is that singular tree on that hill?”

The Overseer: “....”

[bell rings]

The Overseer: “Oh? Looks like the souls are about to wake up.”

Numen: “Huh?! I need to get ready to greet them!”

The Overseer: “Fufufu…”

[multiple doors opening]

[footsteps]

Numen: “Greetings everyone! I hope all of you slept well. My name is Numen and you all find yourselves at Elysium! We’re not here to harm any of you, i’m The Angel of this place and i’m here to give you all the Salvation you have always deserved. I hope you all have an exceptional stay here!
