GRAVEYARD;

GRAVEYARD
Welcome back. That wasn't so painful, was it?

Oh. It was. Our apologies.

But rest assure, nothing can harm you here! At least not physically. Of course there's still the chance that all of you will lose and be doomed to this island forever, but there's nothing you can really do about that now. Perhaps it's best to familiarize yourself with your surroundings.

Luckily, the island you're on looks exactly the same as the island you just left. But...maybe that's because it is. Every inch of the island mirrors the island you initially arrived on from the location of the cliffs to the settings in the camp to the stretches of sandy beaches surrounding the edges. There are a few minor changes, however.

In place of the ruins is an elaborate spa, fully functioning and brightly lit as if designed for some R&R on your summer vacation. The walls are sturdy and the roofs are in tact, and as you explore you'll find each room filled with supplies and equipment for everything from massages to facials to pedicures. The marble fountain in the center burbles happily with crystal clear water, small fishes swimming at the bottom and a few lilies gently resting on the surface.

Just outside of the spa sits the circular body of water with an island at the middle. A bridge has been constructed to reach the center, and the tree on the island blooms with ripe, delicious fruit and hearty, leafy foliage. The hole in the center of the trunk seems to be missing as well. Odd, isn't it?

And finally, the lighthouse that drew you ashore has been repaired. The bricks are cemented together and the windows shine in the sunlight, clean glass providing those who reach the top a clear view of the sea beyond. A winding staircase beyond the unlocked door provides a means to ascend to the top, and as the sun sets, the light glows brightly to sweep over the rolling waves.

...guess there's nothing to do but make yourself comfortable, huh? Anything can change in the nighttime hours though. Maybe you don't have to say goodbye quite yet.

OOC NOTES
Hello, and welcome to being dead! But don't worry, it's not over yet. Dead players may utilize this post to post their own top-levels in the setting and treat it as a mingle. The dead will be able to see the happenings of what's going on with the living in any open mingle including body announcements and trial! In addition, the dead can still host private conversations amongst each other if they wish to speak elsewhere that isn't a public thread. However, the dead cannot PC with the living at this time!

That doesn't mean they can't thread with them though.

From the moment you arrive in the graveyard, you will be able to thread on the public living-side mingles and engage with players' night time prompts!

A couple of guidelines: ghosts cannot physically touch or interact with the setting on the log. They can walk around and they can explore and everyone can see them if they appear before someone, but they can't write or hug or throw coconuts or whatever. They will also not be able to speak! They will, however, be able to make Pacman noises. Wakawakawaka.... And finally...they will appear in the manner of which they were killed, but ghostly. So if your character was stabbed, they would have bloodstains and the knife wound visible to whoever sees them. If they broke their neck, haha, it sure would hang at an odd angle! That's unfortunate. As the sun comes up though, the ghosts will fade away and return to this dead island.

Please feel free to ask questions in the Graveyard channel on the server, or you may DM Britt & Ty privately. Happy hauntings!

... You know who killed you?

[-oh. this seems bad? wen ning's concerned to see anaido here at all, but especially in this sort of state.

he hesitantly steps forward, kneeling next to anaido, reaching out to gently set a hand on his shoulder.]


I don't think... any of us really should be.

[he's not going to bother asking if he's okay when he's clearly, you know, not.]

[a long pause, there.]

I do.

[but that's all he says!]

I'm guessin' they didn't pick them out of the line up.
deadened: (23)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
It... looks like they didn't.

[he sounds- a little relieved?]
wowcool: (2)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-03 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha.

[Oh, there's a smile.]

That's a shame that they found her out. Ah, well, I guess I can thank her in person.

[??????]

[Belial leans in to drape an arm over Shinjiro's shoulder. "Did they actually catch someone involved," asks Shinjiro, to which Belial jovially answers:]

Does it matter? In the end, the numbers haven't changed.

[He lifts his head to appraise the newcomers. The corners of his lips lift as he looks at each new face.]

But we could have done far worse. We've got ourselves a wonderful batch this time around.

[And now, moving on to the victims of the hour!]

Welcome to the other side. You've heard all about it from the girls, I'm sure.

If you're feeling tired, there's a spa right around the corner. How about a field trip? Nothing says bonding like good ol' skinship. We can take our time and get to know each other.

[He recognizes the voice, pausing with some confusion.]

...Wen Ning?

[But....but how.....?]

[He peeks from out from his little jacket shelter.]


I don't understand. Aren't you already dead...?
cookingwithdog: <user name=prodigal-axe site=livejournal.com> (03)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. ]

They actually caught a killer?
illfatedgirl: (002)

[personal profile] illfatedgirl 2020-05-03 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they would like to be able to see you. You don't just have to watch them from afar.

[don't just be a lurking ghost-zombie, wen ning.......]

It can be difficult to... communicate with them. I don't think they're able to tell exactly what it is we're saying;. But it's better to keep trying.
deadened: (10)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
...dead again.

[a little shake of his head, there.]

Master Wei said once that I could... be said to have died twice over, so does this make three...?

[well, he's here now, and while he's very worried about not making it back to wei wuxian... he's worried about anaido, right now, leaning forward to peer worriedly at him.]

But- what happened to you...?

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He just immediately drives an elbow into Belial's ribcage, like it's a reflex action. ]
cookingwithdog: <user name=prodigal-axe site=livejournal.com> (03)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Hm. ]

Just means they've got more people to potentially die next week.
wowcool: (5)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-03 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Suuuuure did!

[Finger-guns.]

Though, haha, I was going to fall anyways. But she decided to do it herself.

[ ................... he's so tired. ]

What, give you a friendly push?
wowcool: (Default)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-03 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You're practically immortal.

[Somehow, he smiles at that. Though that sounds like a nightmare to him, the way he is currently...]

Ah Zoe pushed me from the lighthouse. Thought I'd be dead, you know?

[Why....does he sound disappointed.]
wowcool: (7...)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-03 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I think she just wanted to kill me from the start, so she went for it.

[Clever girl!]
deadened: (10)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope that... as many of them live as possible, then. If we can't.

[that's- really the best he can hope for now, right? especially since he's already dead. if it had come to it, he'd have had a hard time taking someone else's place.]
deadened: (23)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...some of them, maybe.

[there are people who were kind to him and who didn't seem bothered, though... some of them are also dead now, wow. he hates that, thanks.]

I'll... think about it.
cookingwithdog: (02)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty bloodthirsty for such a small lookin' girl.

[ He... doesn't seem surprised by it, it's more of an observation. ]
deadened: (16)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm... very hard to kill. Harder than this, usually...

[but, well, consequences of not just being flush with Bad Energy. no more popping limbs right back on. or heads!

his eyes widen slightly at that explanation, though, before he bows his head.]


She...? I'm sorry that it... had to be in such a way.

[that doesn't sound like a very easy death, to him.]
deadened: (24)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think... it would do me much good.

[considering he's a zombie and all... but hello, ghost he met before. wen ning looks him over a little curiously.]

Oh... I'm sorry we couldn't meet properly, before. My name is Wen Ning.

[a slight bow, there.]
wowcool: (3!)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-03 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
She's a messenger of catastrophe. She likely views death as a normal part of her job.
wowcool: (4)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-03 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I thought it would be quick. But I laid there dying for hours.

[It...was not fun. His expression sombers. All that suffering and then...for what? For this?]

...Anyways. [He offers a half-hearted smile.] It's terrible to say in these circumstances, but...I am glad to see you at least, Wen Ning.
wowcool: (Default)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-03 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just stares at him for a moment.]

What, is the spa actually working?
