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.

That doesn't surprise me either, but... maybe someone can get a rise out of her soon.

[ she flashes a peace sign. ]

I'm glad to be of service!

[ she glances at the screen. marcoh is focusing on evidence and not crashing out, and it's almost break time, so.... ]

I'm going to try it right now, okay?

[ she opens the flask and drinks. ]

[ he will turn away from the screen to give her his full attention and monitor her. ]

Alright, try to—[ there she go. ] ... pace yourself.

[ ... but he's watching ... and after a few moments: ]

... how're you feeling, Elysia?

[ she doesn't drink it all, at least. just some. ]

Hmm... it tastes like citrus?

[ she starts to shiver. she wraps her arms around herself. ]

I'm starting to feel a little cold?

[ immediately glancing over here. ellie? ELLIE? ]

[ she looks over at him and doesn't stop to think.

she runs over to him to wrap her arms around him, still shivering. ]

[ immediately catching her in his arms, only briefly shrugging off his coat to put it over her shoulders

and then hugging her again ]

Are you okay? Ah, you should’ve just let me drink it.

You're a lightweight.

[ she laughs even if she's trying to press herself closer to him. ]

I don't feel off, other than cold. I feel better being next to you like this.

Hey...

[ just a lil grouch—but he's fine with this, curling around her so that he can try to encompass her with whatever warmth he has to offer ]

Mm, alright. Then be next to me as much as you want. Do you want something warm to drink? Even I can do tea...

[ it's like. the one thing he can make that isn't lethal ]

Even you?

[ she's amused. she doesn't actually know how lethal his cooking is. ]

We can give it a try, but... I'll miss your warmth.

[ as if it'd take that long to make tea. ]

Almost no one complains about my tea!

[ almost.... but he'll just laugh a little bit then and nuzzle into her hair affectionately ]

You're striking a hard bargain, Ellie...

Almost? Who complained about your tea?

[ she shifts so she can rest even more comfortably against him. she lays her head against his shoulder. ]

Sorry, you'll have to deal with me being unfair for a little while longer.

Adolphe always complains... but you've had his cooking so I guess it's fine to compare...

[ adolphe is such a great housewife

but yves will accommodate this for her easily, letting her rest her weight against him and just trying to keep her close to ward off some of the cold ]

That's alright. I'll accept you even when you're being unfair, just tell me if it starts to feel any worse, okay?

You two do like to give each other a hard time.

[ she says that affectionately.

elysia is fine with this arrangement. ]

I can't bring myself to argue with you right now. You'll know if it does.

He's meaner to me than the other way around.

[ not really. but yves will just run his fingers through elysia's hair then, just because he can.... ]

Okay... You got that from the Entity...?

My dearest Yves... you give him enough trouble on your own.

[ on purpose. but that's as much as she'll say about it. she doesn't seem to mind what he's doing even if she is trying to pay attention to trial again. ]

Mm-hmm. I sent them a bunch of things since they weren't responding to my letters, and I got a flask back. I'm happy to get some kind of reaction.

I keep his life interesting. He should be thanking me.

[ shamelessly...

but wow trial i'm not sure what's going on anymore i'm out but i'll pretend he's paying attention ]

Ah, I sent one and got nothing back... Maybe I should be more persistent too.

[ i literally went to go get snacks and het behavior happened.

anyway he will sit back and observe all of this. ]

Well... at least we know it isn't dangerous.

[ also now he is just slightly depressed, thanks. ]

[ things happen at all times....

anyway, she's not deaf even if she is hugging yves. ]

It doesn't feel as malicious as it could be.

[ i don't know what this means. ]

[ he's making a face. ]

Aren't there drinks and different food around that do weird shit? I don't think there's one that makes you cold though.

Yeah....

[ she's thinking. ]

There's some at every new location... and the bar always has new drinks that do something. Do you think it was made just for me?

[ thinking... ]

Maybe. That seems like a lot of effort though to make something brand new. No offense, I'm sure some people would, but... [ hm. ] Maybe.

Or maybe it's something that will show up soon? If it's been hiding.

That could be, but where it got the preview... then again, it sounded like some of the drinks that showed up at the bar weren't purposeful either and couldn't be taken off the menu.

[ did this thing meddle that far? ]

You have some left over, right? Keep it for when we go back, it might be good for a sample.

[ she extracts herself enough to flash a finger heart his way. ]

We'll find out next week, one way or another. I'll take good care of it.

That's all I can ask. Thanks.

[ texts maddie to update her at least. ]
