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: That drink you made got me hankering for home. Just a few ingredients, nice and neat. There's an old saying I heard once: "By the time a bartender knows what a man will have before he orders, there's little else about him worth knowing." I'm that easy to read, am I? Hah. We still have a lot of talking to do anyway.
If you're feeling adventurous, let's see what ya do with the bottle I'm sending along. An absolute beast of peat!
B.
P.S. And careful what ya fudging send over here! We ain't all of age to drink. You wouldn't hand malt juice over to Kate, would ya?
Objects Mailed: A bottle of "Bart 17 Years" whiskey (tastes like strawberry milkshake over freshly tilled soil).
Day: Sunday

Message Content: Well. Anders came back from that weird business trip he went on with Manwol, Bowlcut and the others. Went forking ape around Weesh, screaming about quality assurance and whatnot, and she had to knock his scrawny behind out cold. Don't think he was in his right mind, but I think you and me both know he's the type to hold a grudge. Can't really blame him for that either.
Vi is doing all right. Misses you all on the other side for sure, but she's in good company, I'd say.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for the earring. Replaced one of mine with it.
B.
One more thing. I've heard a few more details about what was in those dreams. I'm thinking the whole team should have a nice long chat about it next time we meet up.
Objects Mailed: N/A
Day: Sunday
Recipient: Jacopo
Message Content: Nothing needed on this side. Just watching the SHOW from here.
By the way, Siffrin gave us some forking strange messages about you this week... I'm flattered and all but my girl and I ain't looking for a third.
If it's a prank, I think some friendly fire might be in order. Sent something along with this message in case ya wanted ideas.
B.
Objects Mailed: A fucking huge box full of balls taken from the Junior Pilot Playplace ballpit.
Day: Sunday
Recipient: Haru
Message Content: Missed you all too. Helps that we can get one or two of you a week here at least.
(Too soon? Haha)
Anders is Anders. I got no clue if the guy is happy or mad or sad or what, but he's harmless when he ain't fighting Wisadel in the middle of the terminal. (Only happened once so far at least.) I'm still looking out for him and the others. We do miss ya. Whole graveyard knows who's gonna win this thing.
Speaking of, Vi's doing all right. Yoru, Seodore, Luke, Nanaki, Roxana... They all got over here okay too, in case you were wondering.
You think I wouldn't stop the fudgin' veggies thing if I could? Don't help that we got a ranch here now. Pea fields look deader than disco! Downright shame.
Thanks for the bracelet.
B.
Objects Mailed: A pic of the bracelet on Boothill's wrist and a selfie of him showing off the safety pin earring on his cartilage. He's grinning. Also a small dolphin plush won from a crane game.

Message Content: Sometimes we go out of our minds trying to write y'all messages. I'm in my right mind when I say I ain't got no fudgin' clue what nya is! Ya just sent me a whole line of text that was just nya over and over! The fork does that mean?
B.
P.S. I laughed so muddle-fudging hard at you and Ace this week I swear I almost blew out my neurochip. Hope you're good.
Objects Mailed: A small shark plush from a crane game.
Day: Sunday
Recipient: Manwol
Message Content: I wasn't totally off base, right? Figured you'd want something in return. How'd the son work off that debt?
As for a story of mine... There's a planet in the Asdana Star System called Penacony, Land of the Dreams and Planet of Festivities.
At the Reverie Hotel, people can slip into a dream world. It's a primo vacation spot for the highfalutin and luxury-loving types, and each world inside is always suspended in a moment in time. It's all gold and bright lights in there.
Bet you'd be a big fan, now that I think about it.
Just cause it's made up of dreams don't mean it ain't susceptible to things going haywire. Last time, I was there to lend a helping hand when an old adversary of the Galaxy Rangers was setting off a virus inside.
I'll let you sit on that. Till next time.
Hoping you're well. I mean it.
B.
Objects Mailed: Three white tulips.

Recipient: Kate
Message Content: Thanks for the ribbon. Wearing it as we speak. You made all of these? Holy wubbaboo! Ain't just smart. You got talent too.
I ain't sure what animals you like so I got this one. Let me know if you have another and I'll see if they got a game here for one. Hang in there.
B.
Objects Mailed: A small bunny plush won from a crane game and three small red roses with the thorns clipped off.
Day: Sunday
Recipient: Siffrin
Message Content: Ain't nothing I need on this side. What the fudge you getting at with that message about Jacopo? You wanna start a fight?
You got better ways to do it. I ain't seen your mean side yet!

Message Content: Everyone got here safe. Nice work keeping us in the running! Meowsandry2 is in the works. We miss y'all, of course, even Yoru, even if she's going on about killing people. Tried to strangle me right when she got in too. Lol. Still seems to have team spirit, in a way. Hope you're doing all right after that mess you got into this week. Ain't gonna lie, almost thought you were gonna drop dead right there. Looked stylish at least.

Message Content: Thanks for the letter.
Vi is all right. Think she's starting to get more pissed off about the situation than anything. She's calming down though. I'm keeping an eye out for her like you asked.
In terms of Essek and the other guy I offed in the last game, the guilt don't really ever leave. Galaxy Rangers work solo, but we all got a shared bottom line: never leave a sufferin' soul behind and never kill or take advantage of an innocent to name a few. Killing them felt like a stain on that, conscious or not. It's not like that anger came outta nowhere. Just got amplified tenfold, even if it chose a random target. Maybe it's different for you.
You feeling all right otherwise? I ain't just talking about the guilt and such. No feeling like you wanna do it all over again? I know it ain't a nice question to ask. Could be important to know though.
Hang in there, Princess Rosie. You're handing out gifts like candy, so here's mine.
B.
Objects Mailed: Small, modest bouquet of two sunflowers, baby's breath, and daisies.

Message Content: Our brains get all fudged up almost every time we try sending something forking normal. Can't help it. Hosts gave us an upgrade today so it'll get fixed soon I reckon... might take a few weeks. I guess that craziness comes from the phone somehow?
Anyway, it's all safe here, but Anders got pulled into one of them crazy adventures. Looks like we can't really get away from those. Kinda boring otherwise, to be honest.
Hope you're doing all right. Congrats on your engagement! Lol.

Objects Mailed: Three yellow tulips.
