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.

Here, how about -

[so something happens here, a body horror begins to happen. you still see a pixel person standing in front of you but their bones begin to break and their body starts to crunch into smaller shapes, compacting until the person standing in front of you is very small in stature.]

She'll be more comfortable with this. [unless she ran away in terror witnessing that. oh they were asked a question though.] Yes, Essek should be here tomorrow! You'll all get along, he's nice. [is he.]

[tactic]

[ WHAT IN THE BLAZES IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

Purrada's eyes get impossibly wider, but she does not flee. She just kind of sits there trembling a little, like she's frozen to the spot. Meanwhile, Aventurine is :man_standing: over here. ]

... Good heavens, are you alright?

[mgtropes]

Oh, please don't be scared, Purrada!

[distressed to have frightened this sweet kitty.]

I'm alright, I just decided to change back to normal.

[tactic]

[ Hmmm. He will pick Purrada up and deposit her in Bora's arms.

And Purrada will immediately start purring to self-soothe. ]

She's fine as long as you are too. That's quite an ability you have there, though.

[mgtropes]

[petting her gently.]

Don't worry. I'm friends with a cat. It's alright.

[but looking up from petting.]

I can only do it for so long. So now that I was here, I was planning to stay more like this.

[tactic]

Was there a reason for maintaining your other form on the living side?

[ Purrada will gradually relax and start kneading on Bora's arm! ]

[mgtropes]

Well...

[they hesitate before answering.]

To seem more intimidating.

[tactic]

So that the others would take you seriously? Or was it to instill fear in them?

[mgtropes]

The first one! I don't want anyone to be afraid of me. And there's another reason, too, but it's hard to explain.

[tactic]

Another reason that no longer exists in this place, hm?

[mgtropes]

[nodding.]

That's right. Speaking of, is there anybody here that you recognize?

[tactic]

Well, if a certain group of newcomers would lose their disguises, I wonder if there might be a familiar face.

[ Alas. ]

But with Essek's arrival tomorrow, I'll have one good friend to reunite with.

[ Why'd he say it like that. ]

[mgtropes]

...Oh. [...] Oh, you and Essek are good friends?

[how he said it goes right over their head.]

[tactic]

Yes, I know him from our previous round. He'll be overjoyed to see me, I assure you.

[mgtropes]

That's good! Well, it's not good that you're here and he died, but it's good that you'll both know someone.

[tactic]

I'm certainly looking forward to it. Have you met familiar faces as well?

[mgtropes]

That's not something I can answer. Sorry.

[tactic]

[ Laughs lightly. ]

Thought so, but I wanted to give it a try. Well, you'll have plenty of opportunities to make new friends here, I'm sure.

[mgtropes]

Yes! I hope we'll all get along. Maybe we can all explore a little bit so when Essek and the other person gets here, we can show them around?

[tactic]

Dibs on the penthouse suite if there is a penthouse suite.

[ But yes, exploring time!! inserts here that they definitely got jamba juice at least and i will also be audiencing you Soon 🫵 ]
