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.

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

Message Content: I’m not sure, maybe they died and went someplace else?
Like they were dragged to horse hell or something?
I don't know why, but they aren’t here
I think I understand what you mean
You don’t have to worry about where you stand with me though
We are friends! Complicated is very much okay with me
Also please be understanding if anyone's replies are slow. It got kind of hectic here!

Message Content: I’m not much of a strategist outside fights, either
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
Please be understanding if anyone's replies are slow, it was a little bit hectic today but I've got three hours to kill so I figured I'd write
