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.

i mean, i'm still a little mad that things happened this way. like, i never technically lied to you, i always told you i felt like myself the whole time and made my own choices and that nothing worked for me like it did for rosamund-san. i just never said outright that the only thing affecting my mind was that trip i went on that day and not an outside entity because it felt safer that way when i didn't know how people would react. whenever someone asked directly i told them, so there was no reason you couldn't have done that too.
you also should have talked to me about the repeat achievement because i was already planning on it for this week and could have saved you both from having to deal with that. (i was going to try to find a way to use an incentive to give asa-chan control over yoru, so i hope one of you can do something like that with whatever you got.)
anyway, it's whatever, i'm annoyed but i don't hate you or anything. more annoyed with everyone else who voted that way than with you two tbh since you had a more valid reason for it. it's actually been great over here not having to deal with a million curses so i think what you decided to do actually ended up hurting you and rin-kun a lot more than it did me. so we can call it even.

yeah, i get that. i'm like, famous for not being interested in other people's lives, lmao. i think it helps that we've got sort of similar perspectives on some things in the first place so there's nothing to get offended by. it's nice talking to someone who isn't going to judge you for what you do or don't feel... and conversely, it's kind of hard to listen to someone whose problems you can't relate to at all.
and yeah, a little bit? for me it's more just, like... being kind of afraid of what things will be like once i change them and worrying that i'll regret it. like if i screw it up somehow, or even if it just turns out that it sucks existing in a world where things matter, then i'm ruining things for myself and literally everyone i know at home.
i can guess the one you're talking about though, and yeah, i can see how that would be really bittersweet. like, even if you went all the way back to before things got bad, it wouldn't change what you've already been through, right? but i think that stuff does get easier the further you get away from it too. so even if it can't help as much as it could have if you'd had it sooner, living in a world where things are better will probably gradually make you feel better too, even if it hurts at first.
of course i'm kind of an extreme case of being able to recover from things, so idk, maybe i don't know shit.
