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.

[ it's been a long life, man. ]

It's been a long time coming, and that's about the only time I can say that positively. Think you're ready?

[lightning]

[ For you, especially. (but also for jing yuan.)

his smile goes a bit lopsided. ]

I would be rather embarrassed for myself, were I not.

...You must be excited to see her.

[ JUST SAYIN'!!!! ]

[uploader]

Hey, it's been a long time since you've seen all of them. It'd make sense to be a little uneasy.

[ but then jing yuan asks that and he just. looks a little sheepish and grins slightly. ]

I guess I've been thinking about it, yeah. She might be busy tomorrow though, so I can be patient.

[ no he cannot he's so anxious to get back to her. ]

[lightning]

[ IF ONLY THIS MAN HAD AN OUNCE OF SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS. THE ELDERLY ARE TRULY SO UNCARING OF OTHERS' OPINIONS. ]

Oh? Maybe I should alter my appearance in some way, to bolster my confidence. Perhaps dye my hair black, like Shadowheart colored hers silver.

[ joking. but also... yeah jing yuan doesn't believe him for a second but will play along... ]

Mhm, it would at least give you more time to gather your thoughts. You could even prepare a nice gift, if you haven't already.

[ i would love to be elderly and do whatever the fuck i want, frankly. ]

You know it's hard to imagine you with dark hair? And yet somehow you'd probably make it work somehow. [ insane. insane! also please believe him even a little. let him pretend he's not going insane. ]

... I don't know if it's better or worse to make a big deal out of actually coming back, considering how things have been.

[ they've been texting constantly for a month. ]

[lightning]

[ so TRUE. and the compliment gets a smile from him. ]

You're too kind. [ WAIT. LOOKS AT THE WEEKLY EFFECT. jing yuan thinks hard about it and manifests a dark mode version of himself. am i just self-indulgently linking multiple fanart today yes i am ]

Hmm, I think I prefer my hair the way it is.

[ anyway shoves his face aside. ]

I believe it's something worth celebrating, don't you? You've worked immensely hard. I think she'd be touched by the gesture.

[ or maybe she'd laugh, but either way it would still be cute to see... TEXTING RLY IS NOT THE SAME. ]

[uploader]

[ this is so funny. anyway he looks at this manifestation and kind of goes well that's unfair because he thinks if he dyed his hair darker that would lean further into the edgelord hacker trope. ]

Pretty sure this is a case of sticking with what you know. [ but alright, alright. ] I do have something for her. I'll see when I feel like giving it to her. It's gonna depend on how she's feeling but we'll see. We'll know tomorrow.

[ finally. ]

[lightning]

[ he laughs but brushes it off. kiraman... that is cute. ]

I wonder if it's what I think it is... [ But no need to ruin a surprise, either way. ]

You'll hear from me again soon, then.

[ HE'S GONNA BE SO NOSY ABOUT IT. ]
