This Is Such A Cool Concept, Basing Each Character Death From The Lacrimosa Is Really Neat. I’d Like

This is such a cool concept, basing each character death from the Lacrimosa is really neat. I’d like to see this be made into a game :0

school is tiring, i am sleep deprived anyway i had a strange yet another lackadaisy au/ a dream that imma ramble about based on a horror game called wick (not sedgewick the horror game called wick)

Okay, okay, imma go out with it: Mordecai Heller is the protagonist | The horror game Wick is you playing as the survivor that withhold a candlelight while they're friends ditched them in a haunted forest. Long story short, the game is about 5 (or 6?) Kids whose ghost stories about them come to life and those five kids best the survivor's ass basically)|

Anyway, Lackadaisy speakeasy had actually withered away years ago and since Atlas died all those years ago, his soul is actually connected with the speakeasy. For most people, it was a minor inconvenience, but for Mitzi, it was a tragedy. She killed herself the day the speakeasy was burnt down. However, there had been rumors that the speakeasy itself is seen completely undamaged and yet, it was confirmed not proven. It is only at nights where they would hear Mitzi crying, but she is obviously a ghost. Not only that, those tied to the fallen speakeasy will be dragged down with them. Slowly.

The Savoys want to prove that it's real by forcing Mordecai against his will to go search for the so-called fallen speakeasy. Mordecai, the protagonist, was just left stranded and all he was given was a candlelight, matches and a pocket knife. With that, he had no choice but to make it until 6 AM.

Short story to the first person to fade was Calvin, Calvin was possessed one day and was led into the speakeasy. That was the last time anyone ever seen him, he never came home that day and his mother was devastated. Nextly, it was Rocky, he was demanded to find Calvin, once he did, he ended up finding out that his cousin's dead. He was skinned to the bone and his body strapped in chains. However, Calvin's body was reanimated and he strapped Rocky down and threw him in the deep water and the chains were heavy on Rocky's body until he had drowned to death. Their bodies were never found.

Next was Ivy. She never went to the speakeasy, however, she seems to have dreams that were slowly becoming real each weekly night. The more real the dreams became, the more detached she becomes from herself. She died mysteriously that night as she never woke up from her dream. Her father was in distraught as he sees his daughter never waking up. Her soul is trapped within the speakeasy like Calvin and Rocky.

Zib was slowly fading day by day as if he was a ghost. His voice disappears slowly. And one day, he just woke up in the speakeasy and his soul stuck there forever. Rumors say that when he sings. It means he's awake and aware of anyone's presence.

Wick got buried alive and suffocated and there's that damn duck who pretty much is his small pet that he rather runs away from.

Viktor was rotting and falling apart from the inside and outside. He was slowly becoming a monster so he hid himself in despair of how he became. He hates noise and will hunt anyone down who makes noise and kill them. He also can pick up any scent that leads him to the target.

Mordecai was slowly getting memories back the longer he scouted in the speakeasy. Night by night, he slowly becomes hazy and yet eager to know why he couldn't remember anything. Even if it meant dealing with each individual ghost/statue/reanimated corpses. Viktor and Ivy, especially Viktor, were the only few who actually unlocked his memories. Until he met Mitzi, he was disturbed by how Mitzi practically cried her eyes out (literally) she was half faded and half real. Night by night they slowly become worse for Mordecai, but he still kept going, until one night, he decided to go out by himself as he had restless nights. Mordecai faced his last night actually finding the speakeasy itself. The myth is real.

Mordecai found Atlas' painting. Meaning all those hallucinations and surreal dreams was Atlas trying to connect with him. Therefore, Mordecai had let him with no other choice as he just wanted to see him again. However, he was chased out by Mitzi and everyone else now that they were all awakened from their slumber.

Mordecai had no choice but to run out despite the countless warnings that he'll never escape no matter how hard he tries. The moment Mordecai wasn't able to sleep anymore, it was already too late. Yet, the moment he had escaped once and for all, it was what he thought.

Mordecai died from lack of sleep due to neverending memories. His body became like ropes that fell apart and he just walked back to the speakeasy and faded away to join everyone else.

Nobody ever saw him again. Not even the Savoys. As the story was only for the Lackadaisy crew to carry until their corporeal forms finally fade along with the speakeasy. The myth was never solved. But it can never make up for those people that went missing and never came back.
