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.

You look down at your phone, which dings with a notification. You see the symbol appear on your phone. One new missed message. Better not be spam again, you think. I'm so sick of getting unhinged messages. But then you see the number start to tick up, with a corresponding ding each time. One message. No, two. No, three. Five messages? Wow. Even you're not used to getting this many messages. You're the new kid at school, so you aren't exactly popular.
Whoa! you exclaim, as you wipe the sweat on your brow. There's a rumor going around your school that there are cursed text messages being sent to students. There was even a rumor that last year, a kid died from reading one. Yeah, right you think to yourself, rolling your eyes. Like you'll believe that. Sounds like the kind of prank your friend Yoru would try to play on you.
But you open the first message on your phone, and you see something strange. A spooky monster appears on your phone. A chill runs down your spine as you take in how spooky and scary it is. Yikes! You leap into the air, terrified, even though part of you thinks it's possible this is just yet another prank...

You land safely on the ground. Phew! You look back at your phone. On it, you see the monster that scared you so much you nearly jumped out of your shoes, and you slap your hand against your forehead. That wasn't a monster at all. It was a preview for the newest monster movie your best friend wants to go to with you.
Geez, I have to get my imagination under control, you think to yourself, embarrassed. Maybe you shouldn't be staying up so late at night on your own. But then suddenly your phone dings again. You look at the message, and you see an even spookier monster on it, but this one is real. Ahhhh! You scream, but no one can hear you.

No, I'm fine just where I am. It's not so bad. You stay where you are and turn to PAGE 30.
