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.

Recipient: Maya
Message Content: You did well, Maya. I'm proud of you. We can't say much about what happened. I'm sorry that you had to wake up without me there and that you had to examine my body, especially with how terrible it looked. But I'm perfectly fine on this side. I made my own choices and I'm satisfied with how they turned out.
Oh, and also we were wrong when we talking about that message. What else... It's difficult to write when I know there's a filter. It wasn't like this back in Wiwaldi!! Ugh. Forget it, I won't try. I really only care if you're alright or not. Don't do or say anything that you know will upset me when you're around in public, okay? I want you to make a decision based on your desires, not on what you think other people need from you.
Until next time,
Manwol

Recipient: Rupert
Message Content: Whoever cursed you and Maya during that trial better keep it a secret, or I'll make them regret that decision for the rest of their lives. Anyway, hello Rupert. I'm doing well on this side. You all did well for my case, so I don't really have any complaints. I think you're the only one who would have understood my actions.
What else... I probably should send you something relevant to how this game's being played, since it's important to know. Think about our murders back at Wiwaldi. You're the only one on that side who really knows them now.
Yoru mentioned that she let you and your other teammates know of her grievances, so I won't repeat them here. Oh, I'm writing this on Sunday, by the way. Take care, Rupert. I'll be very annoyed to see you hurt, unless it's a decision you make for yourself.

Recipient: Kaworu
Message Content: I hugged Anders and said it was from you. He was very shy and embarrassed about it. He's as well as he can be, and he's worried about you. I'm fine too, and while I'm not as worried, I would prefer that you don't feel alone. Pet Lady for me! I miss her. The food is much worse here and the clothes aren't up to par at all, but I've dealt with worse. Don't concern yourself with spending points for me though, just use them for yourself or Anders or Wisadel. Take care, Kaworu.

Recipient: Rin
Message Content: We're all here and we're fine. Though I know telling you that won't stop you from worrying. I don't have a right to tell you how to feel, so I'll only tell you this. That I think you're capable of working hard just as much as the others are, and that you're still the only person here I'd give this flower to.

Recipient: Haru
Message Content: I'll let the others write to you about the important things. Wiwaldi didn't have messages like these or codes to figure out and I'm very tired from this long weekend. I know you're tired too, so you should sleep a little before running around and gathering info. Chickens are only tasty when they're free-range and well-cared for.

Recipient: West
Message Content: I imagine you might know more of what went down than anyone else. I did fight to survive, but as you can see, I took a gamble and lost. I don't regret my actions, though I will miss some people.
I know you'll take care of them without me even asking. Thank you, West. Let's destroy this place together.

Message Content: I'm hungry. The food here is really not up to par with our weekly dinners. I'll miss them, and I suppose I'll miss talking to you too.

Recipient: Scaramouche
Message Content: I'm surprised that I beat you here. If you're annoyed at me, then you can let me know when you arrive. Just know that our expressions were very funny to see throughout that entire trial. There was no end to our suffering. I thought that might amuse you to know.

Recipient: Todomatsu
Message Content: I met Anders. He's doing well. It feels a little poetic to have our group split in half like this. Oh, and you should write to Yoru, if you haven't already.

Day: Sunday
Recipient: Strohl
Message Content: I should have thrown that paper away the moment I came to my senses, but I got distracted. It did at least give Vi a laugh though, so maybe all that suffering was worth it? Or is it rude of me to assume, since I wasn't there to deal with the aftermath?
I'm perfectly fine where I am, so you don't have to worry. The clothing options are awful and the food is terrible, but neither is much of a surprise. I haven't been here long enough to tell you anything interesting, or at least anything that I think I'll be able to tell. But maybe I'll have something in my next letter.
Look after Kaworu for me. He seems to like your team a lot, at least better than ours.

Recipient: Rosamund du Prix
Message Content: Don't punish yourself for your choices. I don't think anyone could have done better with what you had then, as much as we both like to think of a better ending. What matters is the one we're living now, right? I know you would say the same if our positions were switched. Keep taking care of Kaworu, and most importantly, take care of yourself.

Recipient: Kate
Message Content: As always, Childe is constantly worrying about you and looking out for you. Though I think you're made of sterner stuff than he'd like to believe. We're both fine and getting along, as you might expect.
Oh, and if I find anything important then I'll pass it on with a 🌕.
