graveyard...3

[mgtropes]

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.

[watches childe write about kate]

Why would you force her to be a princess....

[everyone knows royalty is gross?]

[toyska]

[WOW]

Little girls love being princesses! Tonia talks about it all the time. You get to wear whatever you want, and live in a huge castle, and you can fight off fierce invaders and annoying suitors with your jeweled sword.

[IS THAT WHAT PRINCESSES DO]

[lifeless]

[IS THAT WHAT PRINCESSES DO]

You should make her a witch instead. Witches can do all of that and more, except they have magic and swords.

[toyska]

[Frowns...]

What if she thinks witches are scary, though? I can just make her a magical princess.

[lifeless]

Just because your cute baby self thought witches were scary doesn't mean she does.

[toyska]

[Sorry he chose this very moment to look at the screen and see bald white Kate]

[honkinbigteeth]

[manwol gets so many points for this.]

Kate is a little princess-like, I think, but being one is so complicated. They all go crazy. A witch is better.

[toyska]

Do they? [Hmmm... he is torn... on the one hand he doesn't think this is true, but on the other he wants to let Ylfa help.] What about a Tsarevna with magical powers?

[honkinbigteeth]

It's just very restrictive. It's a hard standard to live up to, and people are always putting you under curses that can only be resolved with true love.

[in neverafter they do.........]

I don't know what a Tsarevna is, but it sounds better?

[toyska]

It's the daughter of the Tsaritsa--she's the one who rules my nation back home. But she's not crazy, and we don't have any love curses.

[Both of these things are debatable.

More importantly--]

Do you think I should ask her if she wants a new nickname? I picked that one because she seemed so self-conscious when we first got here, and she never told me to stop...

[It's not like he ever thought Kate was a toddler who truly believed he thought she was royalty, but now he's worried she doesn't like it... oh no...]

[honkinbigteeth]

Princess Kate?

[hmm...]

Well, I do think a lot of girls? Most girls? Do have a princess thing for a while, where they want to be a princess. [she sure did, and is still a little awestruck by them.] But then it can be hard, because you grow up and you aren't actually a princess, and the world is a lot different than the way you thought it was going to be for you. It sounds like a nice nickname, though, and Kate probably has a way less complex relationship with it than I do.

But you can ask her! It's nice to be asked your opinion about things!

[lifeless]

[ylfa... she gets it]

Right? It's better to be terrifying than lovely.

[honkinbigteeth]

[oh wow internalizing this deeply.]

Do you think so? I'm hearing that so often lately but it is coming from extremely beautiful women so it's hard to know what to make of it.

[sarkazm]

You don't want people who only care about looks, they're always pathetic about it! Buuut if they don't run screaming, then maybe they stand a chance at making it. Gets a lot of bullshit out of the way.

[honkinbigteeth]

Stand a chance at making it? Like how?

[toyska]

[CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE STOP BEING TERRIBLE INFLUENCES.]

[lifeless]

[HELP she laughs,]

People always underestimate me based on my appearance. Sometimes it makes things easier, and sometimes it's very annoying.

[honkinbigteeth]

[she can believe that.]

Oh, I get that, I do. I just mean I think the first people to say looks aren't that important always tend to be people whose looks everyone likes anyway.

[sorry for these tween insecurities.]

[shirtbag]

Karlach and I went back-to-back against a god and it's fudgin' 'lil minions back in the village. She's got enough brawn to take out whole skyscrapers and chuck 'em into space! [ this is hyperbole(?) ] I love that woman!

[unconsecuted]

[this is so cute]

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh. Well, I fully agree that being able to throw skyscrapers into space is an extremely good quality in a lady.

[she has to support her fellow barbarian...]

I'm definitely not ashamed of being good at fighting or anything like that, I think it's pretty cool actually. But this kind of thing is complicated sometimes, too.

[frostfist]

[ wait.............this actually is so pure. he's happy for you, brother. ]

[peakfan]

[ pride month over, valid hets are allowed ]

[toyska]

[WILL YOU STOP]

Aren't you all about being both at once?

[lifeless]

My unlife would be easier if I was just terrifying...
