GRAVEYARD 3

The Graveyard

💀 Arrivals

Welcome to Hell! Welcome to Hell! Welcome to Hell!

... that would be a reasonable guess, anyway, what with the rude awakening sitting cramped in a black-barred iron cage dangling over a pool of blood. Tall mountains loom all around you, and what little gloomy sky you can see makes it look past midnight no matter the hour. From your vantage point in your cage, you can see the land beyond the crimson lake below is grey and lifeless. Yeesh. Talk about depressing!

But hey, would you look at that. Any injuries you had on your body are healed up to be nonfatal, even if they're still sensitive and sore. You feel exhausted, kind of like a noodle that's been stretched too thin. But, like, that's not surprising. You did die, after all. On the other hand, something about you feels different than it has in the last few days. It's something warm, like a fuzzy blanket pulled flush over your body, and a few moments later you're struck with clarity of what this sensation is. Any powers that you had lost upon arriving in Heaven have been returned to you. Now don't get too excited...again, you did die. While you may have your powers back, they're a little weaker than before. Try to be careful, okay?

Anyway, first things first: you should probably get down from that cage! It's an awfully tight fit in there, right? Then again, you're the one making a weird choice to stay in there. The door isn't even locked. (Didn't you think to check? Wow.) With that problem solved it's just a matter of jumping down and into..the...blool. Hmm. Gross.

Just kidding. It's water! (Why is it red? Don't think too hard about it.)

Now that you're closer to ground level, it's easier to get a lay of the land and look at your surroundings. Not that there's much to look at here. But hey, check it out! Across the small island, a doorway carves into the mountains. Where does it lead? Guess you'll have to find out. And who knows? You might run into someone out there!

📍 In Summary

Well, that was a nice bit of fluff, wasn't it? You probably still have some questions about how things work around here. We all know that Graveyards can get increasingly unhinged, so here's the basic run-down:

• You have powers again if applicable! But they're at about half strength. We trust your discretion but please ask if you have questions. Do not blow up our game or try to break obvious game mechanics.
• Injuries in the Graveyard heal twice as fast as normal. If you die, you wake up in the Health Center afterwards with no powers for 24 hours.
• Please always alert us if you die.
• You may see the living side's Chipper, but your posts are currently local-only. Mostly.
• Weekly effects are still active.
• Any personal items you did not give away are waiting for you in the Chao Kindergarten. Along with your chao!
• The Graveyard has its own NPCs. Among other things.
• As of Week 3, Memshare is always active, and memories can play out on any reflective surface.
• Feel free to handwave the GY NPCs informing you the basics: they are your Guardian Angels too, this space is for emergency healing, you are still on your path to redemption, they don't know why transportation and communication between both sides is down.

[noirges]

[ they are... buddy pals despite the murder, somehow ]

Let's get through one thing at a time...

[ murder trial first.... ]

[fightolive]

[When you continue to exist despite the murder... It makes things weird.]

Right... Is Marcoh going to be okay?

[noirges]

[



well. yves just frowns ]

... I think we all handle grief differently and he's... gone through so many at this point. I do think it's possible for him to heal from this, it's just—

It can't be expected to be instantaneous.

[fightolive]

[Thinks about her life for a moment and nods.]

It would make sense if it took some time. [Who takes out a heart??]

[noirges]

... it's harder, always, when it happens to someone you care about instead of yourself. It's the worst pain to survive it, even if you know you have to survive it.

[fightolive]

...

[A twinge of pain when Zhongli and Elysia were killed weeks ago.]

... I believe you.

[noirges]

[ just lets his fingers run through her hair lightly - he hasn't done this in a while, but it seemed to help before... ]

... it's alright. We'll make it back there soon.

[fightolive]

[She lets him pet.

...]

The eight weeks are up.

[noirges]

[ glancing down at her ]

... are you worried?

[fightolive]

A little... Judgement approaches.

[noirges]

Do you think that you'll be judged harshly...?

[fightolive]

I was... Quiet for a long time.

[noirges]

... but that's because you wanted to live.

[ and he'll use his other hand to reach for hers, just to hold it. he's the one who ended that desire and he knows it, but it still doesn't stop him from being gentle ]

You loved being with everyone so much.

[fightolive]

I treasure my friendships.

[Yves is a person she's pretty sure there's only one of. She really doesn't hate it, but she can't deny his oddity.]

... I don't want to live forever. I just... Want to be "Firefly" when it happens.

[noirges]

[ his expression softens ]

... should I be calling you Firefly then?

So that that's one more tether for you to who you are.

[fightolive]

I'd... really like that. Thank you.

[ "Samuel" for seven weeks!! ]

[noirges]

[ iT'S HOW SHE INTRODUCED HERSELF SO HE THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTED....

but he smiles ]

Thank you for being my friend, Firefly. I have a lot of hope for your future, so I'll hold onto it until you can believe in it too.

[fightolive]

[ IT'S FINE. BUT IT'S FUNNY. ]

I'll keep hoping. [Until the day she dies (real. actual. no heaven this time).]
