Overlord | Bonfire
Things had not gone quite as well as the Overlord had wanted it to. She had watched everyone's adventures through the Haunted Mansion, only to find that some had suffered more trauma than she had ever intended.
And this only caused her to worry.
It was true she had sent in the ghouls, but they were based off everyone's dreams and memories and imaginations. However, some had been formed by nightmares. While it was true they could experience bad memories in their "dreams", nightmares were supposed to be a rarity.
For some to have experienced it during this time...
It bothered her, and for a moment she stared out into the far distance, where a deep darkness had settled way out there past the desert. But then she shook her head and closed her eyes. It was time to set them free, to let them actually enjoy this event. It was now technically the third day, yet it was still night. Briefly she wondered if that could have been the cause...
As her mind drifted from one thought to another, searching through her scattered memories, her arms rose slightly as she murmured in a soft breath "Forgive me", words that would reach the ears of those who had been hurt the most. Soon all who had been in the mansion fell into a deep, dreamless sleep. Once the mansion had disappeared and she could see their sleeping bodies lying upon the warm sand, she drifted down to them, looking at each of them one by one, placing a gentle hand over others.
With one last deep sigh, she closed her eyes and imagined one of the fields back in Espoir. There, the characters were suddenly found strewn in various places. Some on the ground, some on hay bales, some in chairs. And there were tables where food and drinks were plenty.
Music played by the scarecrows could be heard, as well as the gentle roar and crackle of the bonfire that was alight in the middle of it all.
She did not say anything, finding herself unable. Instead, she sent each of them a pleasant thought to coax them out of their slumber, one of festivity and celebration.
For now, everyone will be able to relax and socialize with one another, to no longer have to live through the nightmare she had unintentionally given them.
[ooc: THERE ARE SOME HINTS ABOUT THE WORLD IN THIS ENTRY. But too bad your characters won't figure those out until a bit later |D So...yeah. Post in here. I DON'T CARE WHAT PERSON YOU DO IT IN. I'M TIRED. AND. YEAH. FIRST OR THIRD. If the thread STARTS with first, keep it first. If it's third, keep it third. And you can always make logs, too, if you want but uh. Just chill and mingle :D]
