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.

MAIL

[mgtropes]

You've got mail!

You still have your devices here and, with them, texting access—even with the living. However, it seems like the living side won't be getting your messages instantly, oh no! Signal gets wonky across long distances... you know how it is... Still, at least you can keep in touch.

You may also send physical objects over to the living, via dropping them off in Storage/Lost Claims, labeled with the intended "owner" (recipient). They will be delivered according to the airport's schedule.

Use the appropriate weekly header & outgoing mail sub-header and fill out the form to send some mail to the living! Incoming mail for your characters will also be posted here under its own sub-header.

Week 0 Note: The graveyard-exclusive characters who arrived here via bus do not yet have access to message the living and therefore cannot send mail at this time. They will be notified when they have access.

Please refer to the comment below for any additional rules for sending your mail.

<b>Day:</b> <b>Recipient:</b> <b>Message Content:</b> <b>Object(s) Mailed:</b>

MAIL RULES

[mgtropes]

Bizarrely, when your character tries to send their text message or a delivery, they become mentally disconnected from reality and fall under delusions. Maybe they suddenly now believe they are a businessman seeking potential clients, or a lonely NEET in Japanifornia who wants friends, etc. Maybe they're still themselves but are convinced that the recipient really wants to hear about their yaoi hands or that the recipient's love life is the most pressing matter in life right now.

The exact nature of their mindset is up to you, but effectively, they are temporarily AU'd/unintentionally larping/compelled to write nonsense for their messages.

OOCly, this means that while you can still express your general intended sentiment, any and all outgoing messages are written through a lens of insanity as a preemptive censorship for your messages. You can also send shitposts that your character wouldn't normally ICly write and chalk it up to the effect.

On Sunday, this effect does not apply and your characters may send texts and objects with their mind intact (provided they don't try to outright doxx details that shouldn't yet be shared; ask the mods if you're uncertain). If you try to outright doxx murderers who weren't caught, you will be glitched into insanity when writing that part.

As of Week 2, Sunday, the following applies due to the program now installed on everyone's phones:

OOCly, you may make your messages gradually more coherent starting W3. The progress rate is individually up to you, though it typically shouldn't exceed 10-15% improvement per day (however that looks to you) aka you are not fully/consistently coherent. You will be notified when you are properly "cured" and the OOC mail rules change permanently.

GRAVEYARD SPONSORSHIP

[mgtropes]

SPONSORSHIPS

Come Sunday after execution, every character in the graveyard will receive a ping on their phone. Along with the message from your local airport mascot, they'll receive a link that leads to a browser page, containing a full list of the living participants and a selection of items. The page explains that they're meant to pick three people to sponsor, though they should note that the group as a whole may submit only once for the week.

Shutterfly here to give you an amazing opportunity!
Want to sponsor your favorite participants? Now's your chance!

---

Each week on Sunday, the graveyard may collaborate to collectively send up to three (living) people one item each, selected from the list provided weekly. OOCly, the graveyard must be in agreement about all three choices for both people and items. Once a character has been sponsored, they cannot be chosen again in future weeks.

Use the appropriately weekly header and fill out the form below. The deadline for submission is Monday, 6pm PST/9pm EST of the upcoming week.

<b>Character #1:</b> Character they're sponsoring. <B>Item #1:</b> The item they're sending to this person. <B>Character #2:</b> Character they're sponsoring. <B>Item #2:</b> The item they're sending to this person. <B>Character #3:</b> Character they're sponsoring. <B>Item #3:</b> The item they're sending to this person.

[so, how has the bus been treating you?

apparently, you are all developing stubble and/or hair fuzz. oh dear. why were these things you oocly asked about. anyway, on top of not having razors for your personal upkeep, you're running low on food and drinks by this point, so it's not looking great. but help has arrived!

on friday, you'll hear confused voices outside of the bus. after a few moments, the door to the bus finally opens, revealing the four graveyard hosts: maestro, bora, libeccio, and scirocco. they clearly weren't expecting to find you when they arrived here, but if you've been keeping up with what's going on, their presence makes one thing clear—you're where the dead are supposed to be.

specifically, your bus was parked on a runway, not far from where the plane that brought the graveyard hosts here docked. if for some reason you try running into the distance, you just hit a barrier. not much choice but to follow the hosts inside, through an airport gate.

welcome to your new abode! if you poke around at the baggage claim, you'll also find a suitcase for you, with your one home item inside. otherwise, the graveyard hosts are here to answer your questions, although it seems that your presence here might be a blooper...?]

Please specify which hosts you want, or you can request that we choose for you.

[frostfist]

[ the first thing he does after following their dear hosts into the baggage claim is to go up to the nearest one and give them a hug. or the nearest ones plural, if more than one of you would like a hug. the way i have 215 icons but not a single hug icon? fucked up.

holds out my hands, rng me. ]

[tactic]

[ Okay, a couple of things happen. Aventurine retrieves his luggage, SHAVES HIS FACE AT THE CAPSULE HOTEL, and then returns with a bouncing trash cake (it's a cat) (kind of) hot on his heels. Give me anyone, or everyone if you so please, but also scruffs Scirocco. ]

How was the trip over? Not too taxing, I hope?

[mgtropes]

[he can hug bora? bora is here in a pilot uniform with an orange scarf, they are very big and tall and seem startled to be hugged but also will hug back.]

Huh? Who are you?

[frostfist]

[ thank you bora, i love you ]

Just someone deeply grateful for your timely assistance.

[ NO MORE BUS PRISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway he finally lets go and steps back, giving bora their personal space back. ]

You guys [ gender neutral ] seemed surprised to see us. We're not throwing a wrench in anything, are we?

[feminitis]

Thank you for getting us out of there!

[she's eyeing the baggage claim, a little antsy as she watches suitcases circle around; she really wants to go check which of her belongings made it through. but it would be rude not to thank their hosts.]

I mean it, thank you so much!

[she's addressing all of them but you all can pick who responds based on who's available as i try to wrap up my work to go home for the weekend]

[mgtropes]

[wtf also takes a wrio hug

maestro's also got their pilot uniform, cap with a teal bow, and seems surprised by the hug.... they return it though!]

Well hello to you too, handsome. Have we met?

[mgtropes]

[lol

amused,]

You had to do your beauty routine before you came to greet us? I respect it. It wasn't too bad but... have we met? [looks down at the cat cake] And who is this?

[mgtropes]

We expected we were getting here before anyone else.

[they do seem a little unsettled, glancing at the other hosts to see how they react.]

How did you get here?

[mgtropes]

[laughs]

You can thank us after you retrieve what you need. We're certainly not going anywhere. I don't even know why you're here?

[mgtropes]

[bora seems a little on edge, but is taking their cues; when maestro is friendly, they relax, too. and look curiously at the trash cake.]

Have you been waiting for us here?

[mgtropes]

[bora may be a bit wary, but can't ignore someone thanking them like this.]

Oh, you're very much welcome. But what were you going here?

[feminitis]

I wish I knew! This is where people who die here are meant to end up, isn't it? But none of us remember dying, and I certainly don't remember boarding a plane or a bus.

[so weird! anyway, since she's been given leave to go fetch her belongings, she will do that, looking incredibly relieved as she returns with her katana. she wishes she could have both her faith and her shoto, but she knows from experience she's lucky to have even one of them.]

You were... Maestro-san, yes? There were screens within the bus - we were able to see your introductions, before.

[feminitis]

I wish I knew! I don't remember dying, or boarding a plane or a bus. I really couldn't tell you why we ended up here instead of there.

[frostfist]

[ yay

anyway he lets go soon enough, it's just that sometimes you are stuck in a bus for a week and then a group of people save you from being stuck on a bus for even more weeks and you simply have to show your gratitude and also affection week is still (?) happening. if it's not happening anymore, don't tell me so i can live my delusions. ]

Kind of hard to tell when I can't make out your face. But in case we haven't before [ he sticks out his hand for a more proper shake ] the name's Wriothesley.

[mgtropes]

You just woke up in the bus?

[what the hell.]

Can I ask... have all of you been dragged to places like this before?

[frostfist]

Wish I could tell you.

[ sorry!! he looks a little apologetic. ]

As far as I can tell, we all just sort of woke up in that bus with no memory of how we all got there.
