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.

[feminitis]

Thank you for getting us out of there!

[she's eyeing the baggage claim, a little antsy as she watches suitcases circle around; she really wants to go check which of her belongings made it through. but it would be rude not to thank their hosts.]

I mean it, thank you so much!

[she's addressing all of them but you all can pick who responds based on who's available as i try to wrap up my work to go home for the weekend]

[mgtropes]

[laughs]

You can thank us after you retrieve what you need. We're certainly not going anywhere. I don't even know why you're here?

[feminitis]

I wish I knew! This is where people who die here are meant to end up, isn't it? But none of us remember dying, and I certainly don't remember boarding a plane or a bus.

[so weird! anyway, since she's been given leave to go fetch her belongings, she will do that, looking incredibly relieved as she returns with her katana. she wishes she could have both her faith and her shoto, but she knows from experience she's lucky to have even one of them.]

You were... Maestro-san, yes? There were screens within the bus - we were able to see your introductions, before.

[mgtropes]

[puts a hand up. first:] Just Maestro is fine.

[no formalities..... please]

Screens, huh... Well, that does serve the same function that's typical for this side... If you were able to get here painlessly that's fine but...

[???]

You at least familiar enough with how this usually goes...

[feminitis]

Maestro, then.

[me noting down which npcs are opposed to honorifics and which aren't and desperately hoping i remember whenever i'm mobile]

We're all more familiar with it than anyone wants to be, I think. But we can't change the fact that we ended up here at all, so ... Time for us to figure out what we need to do to get through it.

[mgtropes]

Presumably the same thing that we need to do to get everyone who dies back. We're also assigned here until the end, after all...

[though they are least seem reflective about it, as if noting to consider for important things later]

Well, it'll be fine. None of you are injured? Didn't get into any skirmishes with each other?

[feminitis]

Right... Well, it goes without saying that the four of us will do everything we can to help.

[i hope the bus crew has to stow away on the plane out of here since they don't have passports.]

Oh, not at all! We got along quite well, actually. I was a little impressed at the lack of property damage by comparison.

[mgtropes]

[an impressed whistle]

Me too. No one even hoarded all the toilet paper?

[feminitis]

No! They were so civilized! [she laughs.] Had my comrades back home been on that bus, I'm sure it would have been much more chaotic. It probably helped that there was only a small number of us.

[mgtropes]

[bora may be a bit wary, but can't ignore someone thanking them like this.]

Oh, you're very much welcome. But what were you going here?

[feminitis]

I wish I knew! I don't remember dying, or boarding a plane or a bus. I really couldn't tell you why we ended up here instead of there.

[mgtropes]

You just woke up in the bus?

[what the hell.]

Can I ask... have all of you been dragged to places like this before?

[feminitis]

That's right. The other three were pleasant enough company, but...

[in the end, it's still a bus.]

...ah. Yes, we have, unfortunately.

[mgtropes]

Then you must have been kidnapped too, just to the wrong place.

[fretting a little]

[feminitis]

That does seem to be the case. But I suppose it could be worse.

[mgtropes]

Honestly, it might be better to be here than over there. I didn't want to encourage anyone to give up, but I have some friends who it might be a relief if they were here.

[frostfist]

[ just 'pleasant enough'.....


:'( ]

[feminitis]

[she likes you guys a lot but she was going stir crazy in there by the end.......]

[mgtropes]

[they will wait until sei has fetched her belongings.]

No need for thanks. I'm sorry that you were trapped in there to begin with...?

[feminitis]

You've nothing to apologize for, unless in a few weeks it comes out that you're secretly one of the auditors.

[she smiles, pleased as punch now that she's been reunited with her katana and actually has room to stretch her legs.]

So it seems that our being here comes as a surprise to you all?

[mgtropes]

Aha... I certainly hope not.

[a nod]

If we'd known about you, we would've tried to come here sooner. [admittedly may not have been possible because their flight was scheduled but yanno. the thought.] So, quite a surprise.

[feminitis]

It's lucky for us that you four came here when you did! We were trying to ration our provisions on the bus as best as we could, but we would have fun out eventually.

[mgtropes]

[fun out]

Oh, dear. [:o] Well, glad we came before that happened. There should be food available here, at least.

[feminitis]

[aaaaghhh my phone]

Yes! I'll have to go and take stock of our supplies. Actually, would you like to come with me?

[mgtropes]

Of course. I'd be happy to.
