💀 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.

so

no subject
at least give them a heads up

nice job
no subject
we were worried about the entity reading the letters
i am sure they will end up finding out anyway but any edge over them will be useful
no subject
if we're a step ahead, even if the entity is lingering we can get an advantage
give them some awareness at least
