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.

Therapy has been explained to me multiple times but I still don’t see any point in it or benefit to its existence. It strikes me as a way to capitalize upon the horrors of others by charging them to listen to them cry. Eugh. Kaworu might benefit from it, though. I think it’s too late for me.
Yes we are getting so many points, all the point it is possible to get, and we will definitely win the trip to Australia and there’s no chance for anyone else. So you might as well give up trying. We have 500 washing machines. Maybe even 5000. Like Kings or whatnot. On the horse puzzle front I have no idea. Beware Horse Emotions … ? Behavior? Midnight? I’ll keep at it.
As for the other stuff I wouldn’t bother asking if I didn’t care, I have only so much precious time in the world and I could be doing other things and instead I’m asking so take that as you will. Not that I’m one to give any relationship advice, I’ve destroyed every relationship I’ve ever had, and I would be irritated if you and Jonas did do exactly what we thought you would do but I wouldn’t be surprised and maybe it would be good for you if you wanted it even if it’s horrible for everyone else and we’d all roll our eyes at it. I don’t know. I spent a long time denying myself anything akin to feelings like that for one reason or another and I don’t think it actually helped in the end, it just made me miserable and alone. I know your argument is that misery and solitude is inevitable but If you will end up miserable and alone in the end anyway, then you might as well enjoy the times you get in between that aren’t so terrible. Now you’re making me sound like Varric which is horrible.
Anyway I’m going to curse you now, but it doesn’t include Jonas this time so I think it’s fair game.

Lose an achievement? I’m not sure what this means. I don’t believe so, unless you know something I don’t.

By the way you should kiss each other to get points. I think that will be a thing.

We can see the notes - thank you for that. It was very helpful. On the Yoru front, I don’t know that she’s angry with YOU as much as maybe a bit embarrassed and lashing out but she’ll work through it. Or hold a grudge until it explodes? What do I know about forgiveness.
Please vote for Lady in my absence and don’t let anyone vote for that horrible centrist Porridge (really? rights for EVERYONE? including TEMPLARS?) or the entitled Strohl Jr. who comes from wealth and believes he can simply buy his way into the seat. Anyway I think I trust you all to make her look fetching.
Stop telling people the corn is meaningless the corn wasn’t meaningless but I suppose the point has passed now. The lesson to be learned is stop making assumptions including about our corn but especially during trials. And corn is good for you, there are tiny Eugief children who would feast on that corn and be sustained with one ear for an entire week so be grateful. Anyway I’ll try your article idea, it was brought up over here too and it’s worth an attempt.
The merch is good, it’s all very popular. Almost too popular. Now that everyone is wearing it maybe I don’t stand out enough?
- Anders
P.S. I told Ryo I think you should all kiss each other for points but I’m realizing now he won’t tell you all that part so I’m telling you as well because you know how to get a job done.

… You know I don’t have a tattoo, right? I was piss drunk when Oghren was getting one and dared me to as well and I think I lasted two pokes of that horrible needle before I passed out in fear and Velanna called me a worthless worm of a man. It wasn’t a bad night. Well it looks good on you at least?
You aren’t going to expect me to get one now right?

I don’t know about Strohl in particular I think the man just enjoys arguing and has been in a lot of fights where he’s been hit in the head. I have plenty of enemies too. I suppose the way I would consider it is that people will make of you what they will and you can’t pay them too much heed, as long as you know who you are. Sometimes I think the people around here are a bit sensitive, but back in Kirkwall amongst Hawke’s followers we would all fight with each other all the time and then later still show up to play Diamondback as if nothing had really happened. Fenris used to regularly threaten to sew my mouth shut or rip my intestines out. He could do that. He had a trick where he could phase through people with his Lyrium tattoos nevermind I’m not explaining anything to do with Fenris it does not matter the POINT is that sometimes I think time and proximity matter more than anything and you can care about people if you fight or disagree with them. Maybe even moreso because of it.
Anyway my funny story is that when I died I still owed Fenris about 200 silver and now I get to keep it forever so he can sit on those horrible spiky armor gloves of his and spin. I wonder if he’s dead or alive still? Huh.
That wasn’t a great story.
A man and his girlfriend die in a fire and meet Andraste beyond the Veil. Andraste says, "Welcome to the Maker’s side, do you have any questions?" To which the man replies, "Yes, my girlfriend and I never had a chance to get married while we were alive. Can we get married here?” Andraste says, "That's a good question, I will be back when I have the answer." Left at the Veil, the couple begins to talk about love and how long eternity is. 6 weeks later, Andraste returns and says, "OK, I've found your answer. Yes, you can get married here. So come right in and enjoy eternity together." The couple responds by saying, "We have another question. Eternity is a very long time and we are not sure if our relationship will last. If things don't work out, can we get a divorce here?” To which Andraste replies, “Maker’s Balls! It took me 6 weeks to find a Chantry Sister up here, do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?!"
Do you have a birthday? I should probably know that.
