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.

Please know that I am so proud of you - no matter what decisions you make in the end for yourself. You are brave, resilient, intelligent and kind at heart. I am always impressed by the person you are becoming.
I’m sorry that I could not see you through in person to the end, but please know I am not as far away as it can feel - and I can see you when you are in public. Send messages back and I will get them. I know it is difficult right now, but you are surrounded by good people. Look after them like they will look after you. I will do my best on my end.
I’m leaving Lady to you for the duration, because I think you will need her more than I. Please take care of her. Remember that her meal times are at 8am, 5pm and a small snack before you both go to bed. In the morning please measure a handful of steak or otherwise UNSEASONED meat for her - do not feed her raw as it will upset her stomach though she prefers it rare. You can ask Strohl to prepare this for her. In the evening she may have her treats, but don’t feed her more than few or she will gain weight and we are trying to make sure she does not gain weight. Her toys are in my bedroom or in the pet area in Meowsandry, please wave the wand around for her at least once a day and do not allow her to play with the elastic hairties, because she attempts to eat them. She may also spend time in the Meowsandry pet area, as it has her favorite perching spot and she will enjoy being able to use it. Clean her box at least once a day, preferably twice, and check her coat for any dirt. Can you also trim her claws? She’s due and I worry she’ll start scratching furniture. If you have any problems during the week, contact North, they will be able to help you.

Thank you for your friendship these few weeks. I will miss you a great deal. I am sorry I could not stick around to continue our talks, or to help the team more. You are one of the most interesting people I have ever met, and I enjoyed getting to know you a great deal.
We are not as far away as it seems right now, and will work to aid you in whatever way possible.
Please look out for the team and Kaworu.

I know things must seem terrible at the moment, as you were quite close to Vi, but know she is on the side and well enough for the circumstances. I will do my best to keep an eye out for her.
You were quite impressive during trial - Justice is pleased, I’m certain. Thank you for all the interesting discussions, and I hope we are able to speak again soon. I feel there is a great deal left to know. We are not as far away as it seems right now, and will work to aid you in whatever way possible.
Look out for the team and each other.

You might be surprised, but I know what you are feeling right now. Maybe I’m making an assumption, that you were possessed, but even if you were not then I have been in your shoes. I have taken lives when I was out of my mind, and unable to control my own body, my own actions.
Others will have all kinds of advice. Forgiving yourself or otherwise. I don’t know that much of it matters at all. The only thing to do now is move forward - you will have to find a path and make it yours. Make the fact you have your life and your mind returned to you matter. You are good-hearted, and strong-willed. Do not let this place get the best of you, or let the Auditors destroy what you know of yourself.
You are on Kaworu’s team, so I need you to look out for him.

For all that has happened between and around us, I still enjoyed our talks. Getting to know you was interesting. I think in a few ways you may or may not like, we are similar. I don’t know how to feel about that, or whether you would hate that or not either.
If you use my or Vi’s death as reason to confirm the inevitability of your pessimistic world view, I will be incredibly mad at you and I will send you the most annoying letters. You can ask Jonas, I am incredibly good at that. The fight is not over, and I think you can still be proven wrong.

If you blame yourself for this in any way, I am going to hit you. The fault lies with the Auditors, and with those who would trade my life like a chip.
But for now, I am not all that far away, and will certainly not be giving the Auditors any satisfaction from allowing me to stay in their grasp. I will make them regret it.
Look out for Alex and the others, I trust you - you have a good and kind heart, make it a resilient one as well.

Thank you - your message arrived through without issue. I appreciate it. You are a kind person, so I don’t think I need to tell you to look out for the others, because I know you will be anyway.
I will let you know if I find anything, but know we are all on this side and well enough for the circumstances, even if the food is a little shrimp-heavy.

I wouldn’t say it’s any more idiotic than what normally happens in these places, I’ll make sure you tell you every detail I know in my next letter.
Lady will be staying on that side with Kaworu, maybe try giving her a pet, it is very soothing.
