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.

[ the first thing he does after following their dear hosts into the baggage claim is to go up to the nearest one and give them a hug. or the nearest ones plural, if more than one of you would like a hug. the way i have 215 icons but not a single hug icon? fucked up.

holds out my hands, rng me. ]

[mgtropes]

[he can hug bora? bora is here in a pilot uniform with an orange scarf, they are very big and tall and seem startled to be hugged but also will hug back.]

Huh? Who are you?

[frostfist]

[ thank you bora, i love you ]

Just someone deeply grateful for your timely assistance.

[ NO MORE BUS PRISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway he finally lets go and steps back, giving bora their personal space back. ]

You guys [ gender neutral ] seemed surprised to see us. We're not throwing a wrench in anything, are we?

[mgtropes]

We expected we were getting here before anyone else.

[they do seem a little unsettled, glancing at the other hosts to see how they react.]

How did you get here?

[frostfist]

Wish I could tell you.

[ sorry!! he looks a little apologetic. ]

As far as I can tell, we all just sort of woke up in that bus with no memory of how we all got there.

[mgtropes]

Ah! So you were kidnapped by them, too. I'm sorry we weren't here!

[frostfist]

It's alright, we all made it out in one piece.

[ physically. mentally? who can say. ]

So we're the lucky ones that get to hang out with you guys now?

[mgtropes]

Oh! I guess so. I wasn't expecting any company other than the ones who are showing up this weekend.

...I'm Bora, by the way.

[frostfist]

A pleasure to meet you [ fuck, he can't use titles if he doesn't know what gender bora is ] Bora.

[ his french sensibilities. ]

Still, the more the merrier, don't you think? Though the four of you seem to get along well enough.

[mgtropes]

[wtf also takes a wrio hug

maestro's also got their pilot uniform, cap with a teal bow, and seems surprised by the hug.... they return it though!]

Well hello to you too, handsome. Have we met?

[frostfist]

[ yay

anyway he lets go soon enough, it's just that sometimes you are stuck in a bus for a week and then a group of people save you from being stuck on a bus for even more weeks and you simply have to show your gratitude and also affection week is still (?) happening. if it's not happening anymore, don't tell me so i can live my delusions. ]

Kind of hard to tell when I can't make out your face. But in case we haven't before [ he sticks out his hand for a more proper shake ] the name's Wriothesley.

[mgtropes]

[it's still happening... everyday is affection week if you really believe.

maestro looks down at the hand before huffing out a laugh and shaking it, but it's a little half-hearted.]

Maestro will do for now. I also think it's a shame you can't see my face, but that's a little besides the point. Why are you here?

[and how would they know that, maestro]

[frostfist]

Beats me. I was kind of hoping you guys would know, actually.

[ if they are all in the dark, who is driving the bus ]

[mgtropes]

I didn't expect to be put to work right away, I can tell you that much.

[a glance back over at the other three hosts before looking back]

Well, we can get figure this out and get settled at the same time. You all in one piece? Hungry? Want booze? That thing looks cramped for a week's stay.

[frostfist]

[ incredible ]

You're telling me. I feel like I could run twenty laps around this place. [ he won't, but. ] But I could use some food that isn't a pre-cooked meal in a box.

[mgtropes]

[ok well]

How about two birds with one stone? Walk with me, talk with me? If we find a kitchen and some supplies, I can get started on dinner.

[maestro also wants to get a lay of the land.... they've never been here before either]

[frostfist]

Oh? Gracious host and cook? [ what can't maestro do ] Need a hand? I'm no expert, but I know my way around a kitchen.

[mgtropes]

[hugs back]

... There, there?

[frostfist]

[ wow he's gotten more hugs in this one week than he has his entire life. amazing. ]

Sorry. [ finally pulls away. ] It's been a long week. You're....Libeccio?

[ did he get that right ]

[mgtropes]

[wrio please get more hugs]

Libeccio is correct. Unfortunately, it seems I don't have your name.

[frostfist]

[ will libeccio give him another one 🥺 ]

It's Wriothesley. A pleasure to meet you.

[mgtropes]

[maybe they will 🥺]

Likewise, despite the unusual circumstances. May you have the chance to stretch your legs now, at least.

[frostfist]

You better believe I will. And you? What are your plans now that you're here?

[mgtropes]

Well, our duties are to oversee those who end up here... which now includes you, it seems.

[frostfist]

So you're our babysitters. [ cool! ] Will you be reporting our actions to the higher-ups?
