I found some curious things, when dealing with the dead who were left behind in the Oakwoods.
Firstly, they appear to have died while filled with horror. I have also collected samples of a blue substance found around and upon their bodies. I am certain that I am not the only one who took note of this.
You are welcome to what I gathered. I do not care what you decide to do with it.
Additionally, in comparing the bodies of the explorers to those who were slaughtered by the mounted warrior -- their deaths are notably different.Deaths within un-deaths, this is ridiculous. To my knowledge, the components of a soul are universal. Regarding the explorers: I found no sense of soul, nor any of the components. For them to lack is ominous, but may also amount to nothing more than an oddity of the realm.
They are empty, and that is all I know.
At this time, I am only beginning my considerations. I will continue to deliberate for your sakes.
( OOC | While Set is here to Report On It, any characters that went poking around the explorer's bodies would be able to find blue dust that causes their Shadows to go "YEAH LMAO NO"!! Set's personal responses will be delayed, as I'm still tagging the event!
Feel free to take this in whatever direction you'd like. Did your character uncover something? Are they interested in something that happened during the event? Are they considering anything based on Certain Experiences They Had In Canon? pepesilvia.gif )

text ↪ un: retort
When you said the dead were filled with dread, did you glean that from their corpses' expressions? Or were you able to read their emotions in another manner?
no subject
Have you examined it, yet? Did you feel -- did anything happen, when you were collecting it?
Regarding the explorers, I saw their faces. At least, the ones who had faces. They were contorted into the most agonized expressions, and when I touched them... there was nothing. There ought to have been something, the way that there was with the Hierarchy members -- I have, a curse, you see. It makes it so that I see their pain, feel their agony...
no subject
No, there was nothing. There should have been... something. Anything. But there was no spark, no reaction. The only thing I could gather was that my Shadow seemed quite displeased with its presence—and so I collected as much as I could in response.
[ There's a pause. Kaito stares at his phone, at the words he's reading. A small, sad smile draws on his features. ]
You have my condolences. I wish I could say it's a comfort to meet another who experiences such, but it's not. Our curse can be a gift, but it's typically just... pain. I experience the emotions of those who live, but I can tap into the emotions of the dead if needed.
That aside, it's quite troubling that those who were lost in the forest had nothing attached to their lingering auras. I wonder if the libraries in Serene might be able to provide us further context on this.
