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.

Kate, sweetheart, please ignore that last message. I don't know what came over me. Of course I know who you are! Your father and I love you very much. I hope you forgive me for not being able to afford summer camp, I know how much you were looking forward to it

I have no idea what else I've sent you, but... could you ignore it for a little while? Sorry, I don't know what's going on with my head right now.

Don't let Scaramouche tell you that you can't inherit the pizzeria. I'm the one he's trying to destroy, but I'll do whatever it takes to pass the family business on to you, as it should be.

My goodness, how many years has it been? I was shocked to hear you were alive and well after everything we went through in that horrible house. I'm so sorry for ruining the wedding--I know you probably don't blame me, given you're all about forgiveness and redemption, but it's hard to argue that it wasn't my fault when my brother was the one who caused a scene, all to humiliate me. You didn't deserve to be caught up in that, so please accept my apology.

Why is Jonas with Boothill? Isn't he married to Anders? As your older brother, I don't think I approve of you hanging out with him anymore

Sorry, ignore that. And maybe any other mail I send you for a little while, my head is all messed up. Also, congratulations on your 900th year as Satan. I didn't think you'd make it this long.

Who is this? How do you know my daughter? If you're trying to get insurance money from the fire, know that we've already filed for triple bankruptcy, so you're not going to get anything but more debt out of us.

Dear sister,
I know nothing I write will make up for this, but please believe me when I say I was devastated to hear that you'd been taken and tortured. I thought I was prepared for the king to come for me, but I never imagined he would come for my family in this way. Turning Anya and Viktor against me was bad enough, but to steal you away and then throw you out in a bloody pile like that, after covering you in jam and dipping you in the shark moat like that? I can't even begin to imagine what else they did to you. I don't want to try, lest I become more like Bestia than I care to.
If you resent me for this, I'll understand. But I couldn't bear to go on knowing you might think I abandoned you to the sharks without any care at all.

Iris,
I apologize for writing out of the blue like this, but I had the most terrible nightmare that you were killed in a shootout, and... well, it just hit too close to home. I know you probably never want to see me again after I vanished so suddenly, and on the eve of our wedding at that... it's got to be the worst thing I could've done to you. Even now, I can't bring myself to tell you the full details. I don't dare show my face in town again, not after the look in Teucer's eyes when Mahito... no, never mind. But please just know that I wouldn't have done it if I had a choice. I would have come to visit as soon as I could if my ankles hadn't broken from the cement shoes, and by the time I could walk again... well. You don't need to hear all the details.
Call me sentimental, but I saw this ring at the jeweler's and it reminded me of the one I had made for you. Do you remember watching the fireworks that night? Even with the candy incident, they were so beautiful over the water. I'm sure you've probably sold that ring off by now, but... I hope this one reminds you of happier times. If you sell this one too, at least put the funds towards the orphanage?
If I had to guess... Seonho is probably working you permanently now, right? And Huijae must have control of the bank. That's good. It's probably better in her hands than it ever was in mine. Maybe now it can be a legitimate business... though I admit, it was always fun to try and outwit you. Even when I lost, it simply made me proud to call you mayor and fiancee.
If you're feeling generous at all, please tell your grandfather I hope to see him again someday, even if he's coming for my head for having hurt you. I know I deserve it.

How many times am I going to have to write to tell you to visit your uncle? Just because you're not related by blood doesn't mean you don't share the beastly bond. He cried over the gyoza I made yesterday because it reminded him of how long it's been since you visited. I know you hate me for stealing him away from you, but please, at least consider his feelings.

Susato, I don't know how much you've heard, but please know that it's not true. I did NOT try to crash Boothill's wedding. I was an invited guest, you hear me? A guest! It's not my fault they decided to start a shootout instead of letting the ceremony finish peacefully.
I know Karlach isn't here, but could you promise Boothill that you'll officiate the redo when you get the chance? I don't think he wants to hear any apologies from me.

Setz, I'm so sorry you were caught in the crossfire. I didn't know they had a giant lobster. I don't even know how Teucer got his hands on that. I thought they started throwing away all my gifts after the incident...
I'm afraid I can't pay for your hospital bills right now, so please accept this in the meantime. It's worth a lot on the black market. I know, I know, this is the whole reason I'm in trouble in the first place, but... listen, there are only so many options when you're blacklisted, right? Just give me a few hundred years and I'll make it up to you.
