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.

keith is about to go right into the who and why of it all, but a familiar sound grabs his attention from the baggage claim. ]
One sec... [ a baby is there staring at him and it's the saddest thing he's ever seen. ] Guess they allow pets on this airline too, huh.
[ with his cargo in hand he turns back to their new friends. ]
Anyways. Uh, thanks for getting us out of there. It's been one hell of a week.
[ holds out hands for any of them<3 ]

Of course! I can't believe all of you were stuck like that!

kosmo waddles over and sniffs at bora's hand. ]
It would've been one thing if it'd been moving. Sounds like we shouldn't have been here to begin with though?
no subject
[sniffs kosmo back.]
no subject
[ kosmo tilts his head to the side when they do that. ]
Something worth looking into, when you all have the time. Things are going to be real busy tomorrow.
no subject
They are, especially with new people joining us, but I still want to know what happened to you.
I'm Bora, by the way.
no subject
Right, they'll be at least two. And if there's anything we can do to help figure things out, just let us know.
Keith, good to have you here with us.
[ he'll extend his hand for them to shake, if they'd like. ]
no subject
Nice to meet you, Keith. Thanks for being so nice about being trapped on a bus.
no subject
I can only imagine. I am rather sorry that we weren't able to get here sooner...
no subject
No worries. No one knew we were here to begin with, I'm just glad you all are here now.
Will you four be staying here with us?
no subject
Yes, we'll be staying here from now on. Feel free to ask or come talk to us about anything.
no subject
Sounds good, thank you. I'm Keith by the way.
[ if they have a moment to spare from petting kosmo, he'll hold his hand out for a quick shake. ]
You four came here by plane, but you didn't die, did you?
no subject
We're becoming a zoo, aren't we?
I heard you all managed to avoid injuring each other though. That's the most impressive thing I've heard.
no subject
Yeah, you'd think we would go stir crazy and go after each other. But we all get along pretty well. The effect probably helps and the ice breakers...
