graveyard...2

GRAVEYARD
Notice of an itinerary change—
Well, shucks! You died. This might be a familiar experience for you, maybe not. Either way, you're probably feeling distinctly less dead now, with any injuries you previously obtained now healed. Grogginess still clouds your mind, but in a way that's reminiscent of waking up rather than anything nefarious.
... Not too unlike when you first arrived here, actually. Namely, because you wake up in what looks to be an airport terminal. Again! It's not quite the same as the one you were in before, but you're not free of airports yet, it seems. To be specific, you're in the baggage claim area, in the most literal sense: lying in an open suitcase on the carousel, going round and around (or, if you were unlucky, you might've tumbled out of the suitcase as it slid down onto the conveyor belt). You might want to hop off at some point.
If you're worried about your belongings, you can find them either on your person or in another suitcase chugging along on the belt. Once you retrieve everything, there's a new area to explore. Plus, reunions to be had with those who died before you, or with the four Hosts you haven't seen since the first week. And should you be worried about the living side, there are various screens around the terminal, allowing you to still watch what's going on over there.
► GRAVEYARD RUNDOWN
  • You are able to see the living (and their public network posts).
  • Weekly effects are still active.
  • Any personal items you didn't give away before your death are with you in the graveyard.
  • You can still use your curse items on the living, with the usual caveats of avoiding OOC inconvenience (e.g. no effects that would last into Thursday night).
  • The graveyard has its own set of NPCs (Maestro, Bora, Libeccio, Scirocco). You are no longer able to contact the living side's NPCs via audiences, but you can talk to the other four once again.
  • If you get injured and would like to be healed (within reason), the graveyard NPCs can heal to varying degrees, so feel free to handwave tapping them until you got one who could help you.
  • You may handwave the NPCs explaining the basics to you: you're alive again, but you're unable to regroup with the "living" side due to lacking a mode of transportation to the airport terminal where they are, and a barrier is blocking people from leaving the old-fashioned way. Trying to book a ride is a work in progress for the entire graveyard.
  • As of Week 4, the memshare effect from Week 3 remains.

[ turning to look at the screen. hm. ]

Yes. Or cubed, like Essek was.

[looks from the bones to essek]

I think they should become bones. Because Essek-san got better, he isn't a cube now. And if they're bad, they shouldn't get better.

[ small child you are SO right. ]

The bones also got better. I suppose that is the power of these places.

[this is the real reason i wanted to trial watch as baby sei: she is icly predisposed to revengequests and children just say unhinged shit and i knew trialwatch would give me the chance to lean into that]

Oh... then something even worse than becoming bones needs to happen to Quality Assurance.

I agree.

[ he isn't even under a cyoa effect anymore he just wishes death upon the QA team still. ]

Turned into bones, and then put into cubes.

And then... put the cubes into the bottom of a river.

Ani-ue told me the story. He was a thief a few hundred years ago who stole from rich people to give the money to poor people. He also tried to kill someone and got caught, so they boiled him alive in a cauldron on the banks of the Kamo River.

[ BITTERLY: ]

The powerful will always seek to punish the downtrodden for daring to rise about their station, and revel in their own cruelty. If the Templars had any imagination, I imagine they would have loved boiling a mage or two.

...the Templars sound like the sort of people who should get cubed.
