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.

[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]

[hehe]

Oh, yes. They've good company. But I agree. At least, you don't seem extremely angry at us for leaving you locked in a bus, so that's a good sign.

[frostfist]

I figure if it's anyone's fault, it's the fault of those auditors. It sounds as though you guys are trapped here just as much as we are.

[ bora is beautiful and can do no wrong (?) ]

[mgtropes]

[maybe you'll find out!]

We are. I'm glad you got to hear all about that. It should be possible to get you out of here, but it might take awhile.

[frostfist]

Anything we can do to speed up the process?

[mgtropes]

I think it's going to take how long it'll take... [eight weeks.] But maybe there will be ways we can try and help make sure it works out.

[frostfist]

[ everything should go back to being two weeks, actually ]

Let us know. I think we're all in agreement that we'd like to do what we can to help everyone out.

[mgtropes]

Thanks. Once we know what we're even doing, then we'll make sure you know, too.

Maybe we can all explore this place and see what we find? That way we'll be able to show Essek and whoever else around when they get here.

[frostfist]

They really didn't give you guys that much direction, huh.

[ terrible. ]

But sure, I'd be happy to go on a little tour with you all. Lead the way.

[mgtropes]

No, but I also tend to do what Maestro and Libby and Rocco decide to do.

[so helpful!]

Anyway, yes, I'll explore with you, but give me one second to talk to everyone.

[because just for timing reasons, they go talk to aventurine and in the middle of that conversation shapeshift to a much smaller size. so they are coming back for the exploration significantly shorter.]

[frostfist]

[ i






hello?? ]

Bora?

[mgtropes]

It's still me!

[see? orange scarf.]

[frostfist]

You okay [ ..... ] down [ ? ] there?

[mgtropes]

It's easier to walk around like this, since I don't have to worry about any time limits or anything.

[frostfist]

[ well they can certainly start walking but: ]

Time limits?

[mgtropes]

I can't stay in other shapes forever.

[frostfist]

[ looks at the timestamp and frowns ]

Seems like it would be convenient though, to be able to change forms at all. Is that something you've always been able to do?
