graveyard...5!
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'm not sure, but the horse probably gets a lot of malicious entertainment out of it, I imagine. Did you do something embarrassing in public?
P.S. If a gate leads you to a place with a very particular golden fountain, I need you to turn around and leave immediately. Don't ask questions. Just leave.

Message Content: Sorry. I got a bit behind. Some things happened. Nothing concerning for us, so don't worry. I am going to write to the horse after I finish this letter to you. Maybe want to try on your side, too.
P.S. If a gate opens and has a particular golden fountain, please leave and take any children with you. You'll know it if you see it.

Message Content: I am attempting to create correspondence with you, if possible. Like many others, I spent a great deal of time wishing your demise, but as we began to understand a little of what may have happened, I decided perhaps you were not so unnecessarily evil as you were full of enmity. I suppose the ticket betrayal is something I deserve, considering my history, but as someone told me once, you were not born like this, you learned it. You can change and make things better.
If there is some way to assist you, we would like to know. We have our own vengeances and retributions and crimes. It would be silly not to at least inquire how to alleviate yours so we can return to the things most important to us.

Message Content: Was that letter from you? Did you fall asleep mid-penning because you are an old man? Didn't I tell you that you need to say goodbye to the dead, or you'll be cursed? I can't believe you are already not listening to my advice to you.
Actually, I'm a little worried something happened to you, so could you not take so long to write back? I guess I could see you ambling around in public, but what if that person is someone who has stolen your body? I won't know.
Answer my question. I'm losing my mind without a normal conversation.
