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.

Strohl,
On your side? I'd give it a 7, but the performance dedicated to you was a 10. It was most inspired for how utterly nonsensical it was. Meowsandry: the Musical will be unforgettable.
I think after weeks of being trapped in an airport, it's manifested in a lot of outdoor space here. I don't regret staying for it.
With more of you returned, it does mean the curses will be spread out more amongst you all. Good luck. We'll see if watching leaves me entertained or tired or both.

As long as you're aware you're an idiot and that you could change, I won't criticize you too much. Trying is a step, and I'll acknowledge it even if the distance of that step could be bigger. You've been stuck for a while, haven't you?
You can stand to break out of your cycle a little. Even if you can't break out of it entirely.

It wasn't anything I wanted to see. If I could have stayed behind with Aventurine and the rest, I would have. I'd never choose to go back.
Drama? I want to say I'm surprised, but none of their behavior seemed too consistent in public, so I can't. Good luck trying to straighten them out.
Try not to lose your mind from being a new or returned target of curses.

That's quite lenient of you. Even accidents have to happen somehow.
I don't forgive what happened a few days ago, and the less that's known about that ship, the happier you'll be.
I'll put most of the blame on Childe easily, but you were still part of the cause of the incident. Is it terrible that people liked you enough to enter a cage for you?

Settled in.... If I could have sent Ylfa back to the other side for a day, I would have before seeing her return to this side.
At least now you won't have to stress about others handling trial even if there's only one left. Does that settle some of your nerves?

Haruka,
It's better if you don't know more. You'd be happier for it, but you're old enough to have your curiosity satiated if you want blanks filled. You can keep Boothill for the however many days before we return. He was irritating for how he handled being on this side.
You're sweet in your own way. I don't mind this part of you. Your effort isn't unnoticed, and neither are your intentions and sentiment.
I'm afraid I don't have more information about the horse right now, but we can see what new things found after this round of adventures will tell us, if anything. The horse wants to be free to roam and to compete, so that's something to think about until we see it next.

Please don't pay that too much mind. Some of the places on this side have odd effects.
