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.

Message Content: Hi Haru,
It’s easy enough to get along with Vi. Your teammates are another story. I don’t have any respect for them or their priorities. They don’t take Australia seriously enough and they spend all of their points on ridiculous things instead of sensible things like pools and they keep complaining about being sent hot dogs and peas which is ridiculous. But I will put aside my strong reservations because you asked me to but if you ever change your mind you just need to say the word.
We’re allowed to sign our names! I didn't mean to worry you, I think a secret code is fun but for you, I would always want you to know it was from me, so I will always sign my letters to you. And I’ll always send you one the second that I can. And I miss you too. I’m sorry you keep losing your teammates.
Did you send the bracelet? If you send things you should label them, because they don’t come at the same place as the letters and sometimes it’s hard to tell who sent what. We don’t get paid at all, so we can’t get paid less.
I read your message about hotdogs and peas to everyone and we’ll see what we can do...I don’t know though...

Thank you for writing to me.
I’m sorry about all of those strange things I said to you before.
About only loving only science and never having had a friend
I think I panicked because I wasn’t sure what to say.
But I DID want to be your friend, even if I was going to disappear.
I like the people here a lot and it’s fun on this side but I wouldn’t say it’s easier to make friends exactly
Because there are people on your side I want to be friends with and it’s a lot harder to talk to them
If something bad happened I wouldn’t be there to help so I just have to hope it’s okay
I guess complaining about this to you is a weird thing to do.
Will you tell me more about what you've been doing on your side? I saw you and your friend Haru on Wednesday, that was funny.
Love,
Bora

Message Content: Even though I have plenty of people to look after over here, I worry most about the ones who are over on your side. We get to have fun over here, or even if we’re having a hard time, we get to know that it’s over, talk about it, take a break. There are aspects of what the other four have to do that I would find impossible, and anyway, welcoming people here feels fitting. But because I'm here, I’m going to have to spend some time knowing I can’t be there for all of you in person. I can live with that, but I can’t live with forgetting about you and only focusing on the people here, so sorry, but I won’t. I will eat the donuts, though.
It’s harder than I realized to write this kind of letter. Which is strange, because when I was getting them, my friend writing to me always knew the right thing to say. It’s kind of embarrassing to be worse at this...
I’ve lost control of myself before and hurt people before, people who didn’t deserve it. Once you know you’re capable of something like that, there’s no way it can’t change the way you think about yourself. But some very wonderful people always told me that it wasn’t my fault, that I wasn’t awful because of it and that they cared about me anyway. So I want to be able to say the same thing. You aren’t awful or terrible and it isn’t at all funny to think highly of you.
I’m sorry for asking you any invasive questions last time. I wasn’t asking for a weird reason. I was just curious about you and the other people you know from where you came from.
Love,
Bora

Thank you for writing me and sending me a gift. Though Boothill was being very bossy about it and saying I shouldn’t drink what you sent, even though you sent it to me directly with my name on it and everything. But I still really did appreciate getting something from you so don’t be scared to send other things, I won’t let Boothill take them in a jealous rage. I don’t usually drink alcohol usually, even though I am an adult and I can and have and am allowed to and it’s fine for me to and I know a lot about it and I’ve been to a lot of parties. So maybe not that? Sorry for being so picky though whatever you send is fine!
We are definitely not bored over here! Even with the small numbers we have, it’s pretty busy most of the time. But it still always makes me happy to hear from all of you. You can write me any time and I’ll write you back the second I’m able to.
Love,
Bora

Message Content: Hello Jacopo,
We do like getting messages! I received a friendship bracelet already, but I do actually very much like jewelry, and I have a lot of wrist room.
I would not say it is always very entertaining to watch you, but I also don’t usually feel entertained by watching people suffer and die unlike SOME people (auditors). But admittedly sometimes you are all very funny. My favorite was when you all were in love with Yoru.

Okay, okay, I’ll stop doing the code and sign my messages. Since you got in trouBle it might be hard to read. Thanks for writing to me. I already told Haru, but I’ll look out for your teammates here. So please look after all of your teammates over there, especially Porridge.
Since you all hate hot dogs so much, is there anything we can send you that you’ll like?

I’m so glad you liked it and that you shared it with your team. Tell them hello from me.
There are some things I miss, but it’s a bit complicated to explain.
But more than anything I like hearing about what everyone is up to!
My hobbies are playing card games, baking, exploring, and I do enjoy fighting a bit. Though not in a bad way or anything.
What are your hobbies?

That’s okay! I understand, you have so many things going on over there, and also so many people to write to here.
I don’t expect any of you to write me letters, but it’s nice getting them.
I’ve gotten to connect with everyone who has been sent over here.
How do you do the letters in the first pump?
Bora
