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.

There's four of them today. And bones? Quite exciting.

It will get worse and worse, I'm sure.

[Frumpkin does the cat thing of sitting almost directly on Anders' neck under the chin in a loaf.]

With four, I'm assuming the trial will be messy and possibly the outcome. Will you and Justice hold up...?

[Not teasingly, but genuinely curious.]

[ oh yes the classic cat suffocation. glancing at the tv screens where childe is dying of jellyfish. ]

I suppose I don't see any reason we can't theorize on our side, though it is a bit of a hindrance to not examine anything ourselves.

[ but frowning a little. ]

I suppose Justice's ire is now more directed at the Auditors in general.

I can't exactly blame him for the ire after what we all have gone through.

[CLOSING HIS EYES FOR A MOMENT AT CHILDE.]

Do you suppose a single person did several of these?

[ still ambivalent to childe's suffering. ]

Possibly. We had a case in Heaven where one man committed three murders in a single evening. It's also possible that one of the deceased amongst us is also a killer.

Yes, that could be true.

[Oh, Lucas, you are so sexy for murdering three people in heaven's godly paradise.]

We had a young girl who killed regularly without being caught and grew worse and worse with her monster affliction...

[Looking at the screen.]

[ you had MULTIPLE young girls that killed regularly without being caught. ]

... Kate? Are you looking at the screen and cryptically talking about Kate? That little girl?

[ glances over like BWUH ]

[SAME]

[ not here but takes a big swig straight from his whiskey bottle ]

[oh wow what a good time to sweatily look somewhere else that isn't this conversation.]

[ using your traumatic corpse as an excuse to avoid talking about this, hmmmm. ]

[absolutely valid. carry on, sir.]

You can't bring her out, can ya?

[currently asa.]

... By her, you mean...?

[ oh! ]

Hey there. ...Y'don't remember me, do ya?

I do, but... Probably not in the way you want me to. Sorry.

[ fixes the brim of his hat... ]

Eh, thought so. Wanna ask how you are anyhow.

[ she just got super killed so ]

Hungry? Thirsty?

[THEY DID. He knows personally the ramifications of this very thing....

He glances at Anders and then away.]

Many things can go by unnoticed in these games and trials... It weighs on her heavily.

Possession is an equal opportunity hunter. An abomination can be made of the most innocent-looking as much as the next.

[ so yeah. that tracks. ]

Yes, you are right. I worried about her when I saw her here, knowing what had happened to her the previous time.

Though I'm sure many of us experienced similar ills. She is just so young and a kind and quiet girl.

Whyyyyyyy is it always the young kids?

Fate loves to mock and torment the least deserving.

It seems like it does.

[She will not bring up the fact that Hanako seemed stab-happy on his own, as that was probably fate's fault too.]

Perhaps we can find a way to put an end to these things.
