graveyard...3
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:
I could never think you’re awful!!! I could never think you’re bad at being on a team!!!
I really, really, really get what you mean though
I worry about that kind of thing too even though I know that’s not really how people act
Or well sometimes they do, the truth is sometimes people do change their mind about you
But not everybody is like that and I would never feel that way about you
It would be crazy if I did sometimes I forget there are things you don’t know about me but
I know what it feels like to realize you’ve hurt people you didn’t mean to hurt
It’s a horrible feeling and I’m sorry it happened
Uhhhhh anyway I wasn’t sure if you would want to talk to me about serious things which is why I said all that Ace and Tama and shark stuff
And I didn’t want to say too much in case it would get us in trouble but the auditors got stomped by a horse so it probably didn’t matter
But it really did make me laugh a lot (The shark thing not the auditors being stomped)
Actually can I tell you something? It’s not about any of that but it’s a little bit about the rest of what you said
At the start of the first week I was scared that everyone would hate me
Because I was telling them they had to go through this again and I didn’t try hard enough to stop it
That’s not how everyone acted even not knowing who I was but I still think about it
And worry if that will change when worse things keep happening every week or if they already feel that way but just don’t want to say so
I know that’s probably not rational either but it’s just how I feel
I’m only telling you this NOT HARU because he made me read a letter out loud to everyone here about how they should be nice to me
But you’re a good teammate Rin you always think about other people
You always made me feel like you wanted me around and that’s important to me
Maybe we’re a little similar like that because I also worry whether I’m doing enough for everyone or if I’m being useful enough or helpful enough or strong enough
But you’re enough to me you do enough I want to be on your team no matter what
Also please be understanding if anyone's replies are slow, it has been a little hectic here!

Message Content: Dear Garu,
I don’t know what mkart is but I would like to play it with you
I've only been able to spend a little time with Asa but since she's your friend I'll try harder even though I do like Yoru too
Ace was the one who told us it was your birthday, I didn’t actually know until then! Ace is nice he also made us shirts
Stop going to space!!!
Anyway, listen so the thing about these messages is
When you send one to me for everyone I have to read it out loud to them...
If you don’t want me to read your messages or you want to send one that’s about me send it to Libby or something geez louise
I guess I probably made you worry about me getting too upset with what I wrote
Or I made other people here worried and they brought it up
You don’t have to ask people here to be nice to me, they are already all nice to me except Anders
I also have Libby and Maestro and Rocco and we talk about things, too.
I don't want anyone here to have to worry about me a lot though when it's supposed to be the other way around
And I don’t like the idea that anyone is making you feel like you have to worry more about me on top of all the other things you have to worry about
I was upset but you don’t have to fix it I’ve gotten a lot better at handling it
Now you sent a nice message saying things are a little better but you also apologized for sending a sad message and I don’t want you to apologize for that
Maybe I’ll say you’re being Garu about it but you don’t have to feel bad about sending it, I want you to
I don’t want to worry you decided to tell me it’s fine because you don’t want to make me sad
But I’ll believe you and trust you and Rin anyway
Also please be understanding if anybody's replies are slow! It's been a tiny bit hectic over here

Message Content: I do get why Alex said it but it’s a reason that’s hard to explain over a letter
Hmmm it’s a little like...
If you recognized North and felt better, that makes sense to me because you already know what kind of person she is so you know she means well
I was thinking the same thing, that if you knew more about me you might know that I meant well in the same way
I am not nearly as smart as North, but I’d like to think it’s at least obvious that I would always try really hard to help you even if I screw up sometimes
And maybe that would have been enough to be helpful

I would believe basically anything West said about anything 100% more than anything I said about it
But yes I think that’s what we think is going on, that it’s automated so we just have to finish the competition and get achievements and we’ll be able to come back and get out of here
It will be okay! That much I do know and believe
By the way, you can share our birthday too if you want since we’re friends
And also that’s okay I actually liked JD equally to Porridge
That picture of him holding a weapon reminded me a lot of a friend of mine

Okay. That’s. Not what I meant, so I guess I’m not telling you what we have over here because I go insane.
You know Manwol has been trying to get us to dress up in these outfits since she got here? I’m not convinced but I guess if it’s for an achievement I can do it.
If she takes a picture of me in it though I can’t promise a nonviolent response.

Don’t worry about your letters being late, I spend like 2 hours a day talking to my stupid phone replying to all of you anyway so
I’m glad morale’s not in hell, at least. We had a party this week and it was a disaster, I’m sure you’re going to see it. I mean, it was fun. Just ended explosively.
You’re right that I’ve got a lot of experience in that
It’s fucked up but is it wrong to be a little flattered that I showed up on one of those things? I didn’t think you
Well
I guess I’m sorry too. Hope that imaginary me didn’t hurt you.
We’re all fine over here as much as we can be. I’m not even sure if I can curse you guys on that side? You guys curse each other enough, man, we were watching that Wednesday mess like a car crash

That wasn’t asking you to do anything for me, I was just curious if you guys got anything out of it. Don’t apologize. I’m not interested in you beating yourself up about shit that’s happened. The longer I’m away from it the more I’m just
Resigned, I guess, like it doesn’t hurt anymore so much as I’m just whatever about it.
I think
If we’d had the chance we could’ve been friends too. But we didn’t and honestly, I think you’re making it to the end, princess, so we’re just going to have to do the penpal thing.
I don’t mind talking back and forth. It’s not like I’ve got anything else to do over here. You’ll probably see the nonsense we’re up to over here. I think we accidentally sent pictures of it. It’s as much of a zoo over here as it is anywhere else. Ask Jonas for the picture I sent him the other day, it’s stupid. It’s of a kangaroo, if he needs specifics.
And yeah, the note was from me. I’ve been wearing it a lot, the jacket, so consider your gift a success.

Message Content: Here is my message, as I said. This place is fine, but has grown less bearable with recent additions. Much obliged for the picture you included and for returning my phone, and enjoy the idiotic pictures they sent. I'm glad that the phone itself seemed to serve you well in that mess (though I didn't stay to observe its entirety). Use whatever you receive wisely. Your continued efforts toward the group's wellness are commendable, given how little so many others seem willing to do. Do not allow them to place too much burden on you, even unintentionally.
Regarding your gift, it did arrive here, and I will ensure its safety. A heart made from ash is no real heart, but the effort that goes into crafting one can be acknowledged.

Message Content: My apologies for the delayed message! A lot happened over here and time sort of got away from me. Libeccio-san shared the message you sent them with me. I'd be glad to keep exchanging messages with you, so feel free to write whenever you'd like.
Kindness can definitely be hard to accept after something like this. It's a relief to know you're going to try to, and that you'll keep moving forward. As long as you remember that you don't want to get stuck in place, you'll do great. I believe in you, and so does everyone else who's keeping you in their thoughts.
I don't know how much I should say about what's going on over here. It's definitely chaotic to say the least, and even that feels like putting it mildly. You might get some idea of what we've been up to by looking at some of the achievements you all can't account for being done on your side. In that way, we're working right alongside you all to get through this.
Hmm, what else...? I guess it's a little one-sided when I've heard so much about you but I haven't really shared much about me, but if we're going to be pen-pals, I should say something more... oh, I know! We have something in common. I was in a Reaper's Game once, too, though not the one you were in.

Hope you're doin' as well as you can.

We're gonna take good care of Strohl over here. Vi's over the moon about it, but we all miss the rest of ya. How's Rupert doing? And tell Ryo to get more obvious.
Also, I gotta ask. Tama, is it?
If that's true, I think ya should say something. If it ain't, forget I said anything.

I think we've got as much info as y'all have on that side. We saw the whole horse show Haru and the others went through. Can't believe we still gotta play this dumb forking game anyhow! I'm tired of this mess.
Ain't weird at all. Would've liked to hear more from all of ya. Your show was an absolute banger!!!
I'll tell ya now that we had a party this week and got blown up by a lobster. It was kinda my fault if we're being honest. We were all fine down at the baggage claim hours later. Every who drank got hangovers into next week except yours truly and Childe, far as I know. Lol! Anything good happening over there?
Sendin' more flowers and a churro. Take care now.

Wish I was there in person too.
First off, no. You're not a bad person at all, actually, but especially not for trying for the achievements.
Keep going. You guys are on the right track. You're doing us a favor, really, the dead especially need them, as many as you can get.
Proud of you, actually, you're doing the best you can. We're counting on you but not just you, get it?
And don't worry about it. You did exactly what I wanted you to as far as Strohl and Hulkenberg. It's a relief to have them here, and I'll look after them. Not to sound like a psychopath, but it's probably the best thing that's happened to me in a couple weeks.
It's not terrible over here. I'm getting antsy, but I think you're the same as me in that.
No fuckin idea about horse hell but we did see that document, what the fuck.
Strohl Jr is over here now, and yeah, don't worry, I'm telling them that he's a wahoo and always will be.
You're worrying me, kiddo. I know you like to keep all the worst shit on your shoulders and not let anybody else take it, but you keep doing that and you're going to get buried. You don't have to talk to me about it, but I wish you would. Share the load.
Anyway the lobsters definitely wasn't me.
But we did explode after getting into it WITH a lobster, so I guess that's great.
Tell me the gossip, man, I know you're probably not in the mood, but
Uh
I was going to say more but something's happening so talk more later

To the mysterious and brilliant Miss Kate,
Someone over here suggested that "princess" might not be your favored title. Manwol thought you might prefer being a witch, since that would imply you have powerful magic powers, but she also thinks it's important to be terrifying, so I think her opinion is a little warped. Nonetheless, I promised to ask what you'd prefer. I also want to know: What do you want to be when you grow up? You know, my younger sister was determined to become a ballerina for a while. She practiced for weeks until she almost went flying through the window during one of her jumps! I thought I was going to have a heart attack, but she was just fine, thankfully. Last I heard, she changed her mind and wanted to become a fashion designer, but it might've changed again by now. I can't keep up with her!
You worked very hard this weekend, as always. You probably think I'm just flattering you to keep your spirits up, but I'm not. I do worry about you, though. I hope you don't feel like you have to carry too much on your own. With any luck, we'll track this horse down soon enough. Hang in there until then, okay? I assume you'd still prefer to remain on that side, so I hope they understand that they're lucky to have you.
(And to answer your question, I gave that thing away before I died, and not to Scaramouche. Though, I admit I wasn't all that surprised to see it used during the night like that.)
Things have been very silly over here, as you've seen. Don't worry, we're all fine. We had a party and wound up with an... expected visitor, let's say! I don't know about the others, but I thought it was a fun surprise. I'll tell you all about it next time I see you.
We've got some new things for you all to work on, so please do your best to separate the pranks from the intentional hints. It may be a little hard to tell which is which, but... I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually.

Thank you so much for the gifts! Don't confuse me for Scaramouche, I promise I enjoy sentiment just as much as utility, ahaha. Don't worry, I've been writing Miss Kate diligently--I missed one message because we were busy with some chaos, but things have settled back down now. Well, kind of. Strohl is yelling about his dignity right now, as expected.
I'm sure you all get messages like this every week, but rest assured that we're all doing just fine over here. It only hurts us more if you all worry too much about justice and the like, so please remember not to lose sight of the true goals.

Why wouldn't I give the harpoon away? It would've been incredibly stupid of me to kill someone with an item that everyone knew I had, and only me. Have a little more faith in my abilities, won't you? I gave that away before my death, though, it wasn't something I left behind as a parting gift. And why do you all seem to think Scaramouche and I are friends? Did he ever give you the impression he'd need my help to do anything? Please... as for the morgue, I don't know how much I can tell you, so I'll just say it was an accident. Don't worry about it too much.
Good luck with the achievements. There isn't all that much we can help you with from this side, but everyone's thinking hard about the guidance we can give you. Some of the messages you get might be odd, but you're probably used to that by now, haha. Even the nonsense might be important, though, so try to think creatively about the things everyone gets told this week. It sounds like you're already trying, so just remember that we don't have any choice but to put our faith in you all now. No pressure!
Despite everything, I think you still know Alex better than I do, so I won't try to tell you how to interact with her. You're probably doing better than you think, though. I don't know if you know this, but when I first found out about what happened in heaven, I asked her if she wanted me to kill you, and she was incredibly vehement that I didn't. So if nothing else, she wants you safe. That's important.
Will you do me a favor and invite Kate over to watch some of those hero films you talked about before? I think she might like them.

It's a good thing I didn't write that last week, or I would've had to follow it up with "got attacked by a giant lobster." Not my fault either, by the way! I'll have you know I've been very well-behaved over here. I haven't even been dragged off on any of those trips--yours wasn't too bad, was it? I saw you got taken care of, so I wasn't too worried, but I do want to know what happened.
Yes, from what I could see on this side, those were the locations I remember. Why did you pick those... I did like the snowy island, though. At least until everyone took over the lodge and filled it with traps. I almost forgot about all of that... nostalgic!
Did you drink something embarrassing? I'll find out when I get back over there, so you should just tell me now, haha! There's lots of alcohol over here, but it's all normal. ...Actually, let me rephrase that: there's lots of alcohol, but you have to endure a lot of different things to get it. You've made it this far, so I don't think anyone is going to want to upset Jonas and Kazuki by killing you off, but if by chance you do end up on this side, at least you'll have plenty of options.

Don't worry, nothing you can say to me is worse than what I've heard before. I did spend quite a bit of time in hell, remember? Haha!
Fortunately for you all, I suspect the guidance you're due to receive will be a little easier on your morals (if not necessarily easier to achieve). There's only one potential achievement I planned for before my death that hasn't been accomplished, but I don't know for sure if it's anything, so I won't confuse you by mentioning it. Instead, I recommend asking around once you receive your letters; everyone's currently working hard to figure out how to tell you what you need to know. Just keep an open mind, alright?
There's only so much I can do to protect Bora from the terrible opinions of all these bad influences, but I promise I'll do my best. But please write and tell them that they don't need to listen to beautiful women just because they're cool and powerful? Manwol's going to teach them to turn people's souls into chicken stew if we're not careful, and Bora will listen to you more than me, I think. In exchange, invite Alex to some of Jacopo's dinners, won't you? She's terrible about eating on her own.

I have to apologize for the delay--I'm sure you saw the photos, but we had an unexpected visitor at our party the other day, which resulted in a lot of chaos. Nothing to worry about, though. On a completely different note, did you know that giant lobsters are capable of wielding weapons? It's very impressive.
I know that nothing I say will relieve you of your burdens, but nonetheless, I hope any self-directed frustration or guilt has faded by now. I knew the risks, and even if I had known you were awake nearby, I never expected you'd be able to come to my aid. If you had that level of freedom, this whole situation would be way less of a headache than it is, I think. I won't say I have no regrets at all, because I prefer not to lie if I don't have to... but unless you plan to tell me you've been the secret horse mastermind all along, I don't want you to feel responsible for my choices, especially the poor ones. It won't be my first temporary death, and it probably won't be the last, haha! If anything, I'm mostly just glad no one turned into an octopus halfway through... (hell is a strange place.)
I hope it won't be too much trouble for you to be stuck with too many bleeding hearts. Do you know how many achievements we need, or is that a mystery to you? To be safe, I'll just let you know that we're in the single digits--with a few more weeks to go, that should be enough. It would be convenient if we had the full list, since the ones you're left with will need their hands held through anything more harrowing than a tea party, but we've made it this far, so I'll trust in your leadership. I don't believe that being a weapon is an insult, but think of me however you'd like; just know that you've got me until the end, whatever that means across this divide.

P.S. - I didn't survive the night, but saying I didn't win the battle is a little harsh, don't you think?

Can you draw a picture? It sounds way more exciting to fight than a lobster, even if the lobster did get weapons.
