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.

[ Okay, a couple of things happen. Aventurine retrieves his luggage, SHAVES HIS FACE AT THE CAPSULE HOTEL, and then returns with a bouncing trash cake (it's a cat) (kind of) hot on his heels. Give me anyone, or everyone if you so please, but also scruffs Scirocco. ]

How was the trip over? Not too taxing, I hope?

[mgtropes]

[lol

amused,]

You had to do your beauty routine before you came to greet us? I respect it. It wasn't too bad but... have we met? [looks down at the cat cake] And who is this?

[tactic]

[ YOU TRY BEING STUCK ON A BUS FOR A WEEK ]

We haven't. At least, I don't think so, but we were watching you guys on the TV screens inside the bus.

[ Also looks down. ]

This is Purrada.

[mgtropes]

Purrada, aren't you a dear?

[looks back up at at him]

Often introduce your pets before yourself?

[tactic]

Thought I'd give her the spotlight, if only for a moment.

[ Also looks back... up? Down? Makes direct mosaic eye contact? ]

I'm called Aventurine. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[mgtropes]

[up.... the mosaic stares back]

Maestro is fine for now, and the pleasure's all mine. Seems like the surprise is shared, though.

[tactic]

[ UP? throws my phone ]

It certainly is. Though I suppose we're left with the same questions if even you guys had no idea we were here.

[mgtropes]

[bora seems a little on edge, but is taking their cues; when maestro is friendly, they relax, too. and look curiously at the trash cake.]

Have you been waiting for us here?

[tactic]

[ The trash cake jiggles like Jell-O in greeting... in... hello. ]

That's right. We saw you guys on TV a few times, and overheard some of your conversations.

[mgtropes]

Oh. So at least you knew we were coming for you, hopefully?

[trying to pay attention to this conversation but so, so curious about the trash cake.]

[tactic]

Yes. Thought you might have answers for us, but that's not the case, is it?

[ The trash cake continues to jiggle happily while meowing. ]

You can pet her. That's Purrada, and I'm Aventurine.

[mgtropes]

She might be scared of me like this.

[reluctant. they would love to pet.]

I'm Bora. And I don't, but the others might figure something out.

[tactic]

I don't know if she's ever felt an emotion besides hunger.

[ And Purrada truly just takes pets like a pro... Her huge, round eyes stare up at Bora with wonder... Or maybe she's just processing if she exists. ]

Oh, that's fine. Not my first rodeo and all that. Does Essek show up tomorrow, then?

[mgtropes]

[crouches down to look at the trash cake, before glancing up at aventurine.]

Much less taxing than it was for you, it seems...

[tactic]

If I ever step foot into another bus, it'll be too soon.

[ Trash cake does a big stretchy, then wobbles back into shape. Pet her... ]

You guys really didn't have a single clue about us at all?

[mgtropes]

[sheepishly,]

If we did, we would've come over sooner. How long were you here for...?

[pats trash cake...]

[tactic]

[ Activate purring. ]

Today marks a week. Good timing on your parts, since we had about a week's worth of supplies. Think that's a coincidence?

[mgtropes]

Honestly, I have no idea. The auditors didn't mention anything about you at all to us... It could be by design, or it could be a coincidence.

[tactic]

Well, that's alright. Just glad to be off that bus.

[ And the new locations look nice... Much better than Silent Hill. ]

I'm Aventurine, by the way, and that's Purrada.

[mgtropes]

[ Well then. They turn their head a little bit, the energy of trying to stretch out a neck that's sore from being in the same position for a hot minute. ]

I've been on worse, that's for sure.

[tactic]

Sounds like everyone's in good spirits.

[ What a friendly bunch. :) ]

Scirocco, right?

[mgtropes]

That's right.

[ Looks... at you four. ]

I apologize for the delay...

[tactic]

Please, it's not as though you knew we were here.

[ Waves his hand dismissively. ]

At the very least, we were able to watch everything happening on screen. I think it helped to know you'd all arrive today.

[mgtropes]

Apparently, we're not very good at keeping track of our people.

[ First, the basement... now the bus... cursed. ]

...Oh, yes. Those would be a thing, wouldn't they.

[tactic]

[ He is watching that mosaic face closely. Also, height checks you too. ]

Familiar with them?
