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.

[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.

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.

Stand a chance at making it? Like how?

You know, like-- you can't expect someone who only likes you for being pretty to hold their own with you in a fight. Go to war with you. They might get weird about it if you're stronger than they are, you might end up worrying they wouldn't like anything less pretty about you.

But if they see something that should scare 'em off about you and it doesn't, they're probably built better.

Oh. Boys.

[this wasn't even related to boys for her, she just gets insecure.]

I think I get what you mean. I'm not sure I've ever thought about this before, but it does make sense.

[you are SO right bestie

nods approvingly in the background]

[Okay nevermind this is a good life lesson]

[ so true ]

[CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE STOP BEING TERRIBLE INFLUENCES.]

[yeah sure go be a good influence or whatever mister princesses]

[AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL SHE'S 14 TO START TEACHING HER INSANE THINGS OKAY (that is not better)]

[HELP she laughs,]

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

[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.]

Looks are very important.

[manwol please.... the lessons]

What matters most are the looks you like, not what everyone else likes.

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!

[this is so cute]

[ everyone be alpha and kiss each other before i explode ]

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.
