graveyard
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.
QUICKLINKS

[looks back up at at him]
Often introduce your pets before yourself?
no subject
[ Also looks back... up? Down? Makes direct mosaic eye contact? ]
I'm called Aventurine. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
no subject
Maestro is fine for now, and the pleasure's all mine. Seems like the surprise is shared, though.
no subject
It certainly is. Though I suppose we're left with the same questions if even you guys had no idea we were here.
no subject
If we did, we probably would've tried to get here even sooner. [crosses their arms in thought] Seems like a pretty mean prank to leave you all stranded in whatever that is and we have at least a little more tact than that.
[the bus]
no subject
I'll take your word for it.
[ Easy, breezy, and then gestures to his own face. ]
These so-called 'auditors' still want your faces hidden over on this side too?
no subject
Are you curious about us already?
no subject
Can you blame me? We're going to be here for eight weeks. Figured it wouldn't be so bad to get to know each other better.
no subject
I'm not against a little give and take since you can consider the interest mutual. [the mosaic flickers as if they winked] I don't think any of us are particularly hard to get to know, if anything it's the opposite.
[they are such... a vibe]
no subject
[ He loves a vibe. ]
Shall we check out the amenities? Explore the place a little? This is a stark difference from my first round.
no subject
[but they're more than willing, already striding forward to explore. they look around, curious]
Make sure to say something if you see a bar, yeah? Or a kitchen.
[in that order. priorities.]
no subject
[ He will follow after in a more relaxed pace, with Purrada close behind, and keep an eye out as instructed. ]

I'm sure some of them started out as novels. But it was that sort of atmosphere for my first experience.
no subject
follows after]
So... you're haunted?
no subject
By visions of a bus, maybe.
[ He's going to stop in front of the Jamba Juice now... ]
... Hey, Maestro, did you die in your previous round?
no subject
You're not even going to get me a drink first? Wine me and dine me?
no subject
[ Glances at the Jamba Juice and then moves past it. ]
Let's see if I can find you something a little stronger than juice.
no subject
I brought some, if it comes to that. Happy to share, of course.
And the answer's yes.
[they'll give that to aventurine for free]
no subject
Looks like we'll be needing it.
[ And then stops short to smile at Maestro. ]
Feeling generous, are we? I'm happy to pay it back if you have something in return you'd like to ask.
no subject
Are you single?
no subject
Why do you ask?
no subject
Why does anyone ever ask?
no subject
[ Quality TV. ]
Happily taken.
no subject
[but they're genuinely amused, laughing]
My honest answer is that sometimes you need to make your own fun around here...
[yes they are a flirt but more than that they are a tease and a headache]
