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!

wait. he didn't speak in waka, which means--]

...oh.

[deadened]

You're- already here?

[oh. bad? bad. can't she see her own body like this?? he glances over, then:]

You don't have to... see this, if you don't wish to.

[fishingforcompliments]

...no... I should not look away from this.

[her face falls]

Whether I like it or not, the truth is the truth. And the truth is that I am... dead.

[deadened]

...if it gets difficult, please don't... force yourself.

[but he nods at that-- it's her death and her choice, ultimately. wen ning doesn't really have a right to try to stop her.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[she manages a slightly sad smile]

It is nice to be able to speak with you again, Wen Ning.

[deadened]

You, too. Even if it's... like this.

[she gets a tiny smile in return, one he hopes is reassuring... this is the best he can do, expression-wise.]

I'm sorry if... I unsettled you, before.

[fishingforcompliments]

No, it is fine. I was glad to see you again, even if it was because you were a ghost.

[deadened]

It's been a relief to still... see everyone like this, even if I couldn't... say anything.

[fishingforcompliments]

...yes, the wakas were quite unintelligible, when the ghost I encountered most often attempted to speak.

[please hide her from belial. they can communicate now and just that thought is cursed.]

[deadened]

That was... why I never tried.

[also like

he didn't want to find out if he could still make sound with a detached head.]

But I don't usually speak much, anyway...

[fishingforcompliments]

...which is quite a shame, if you ask me! It is very nice to speak with you.

[wowcool]

[Well, that was fast.]

Flayn! Hello. [Like, he's surprised, but he's just?? Rolling with this.] What happened?

[fishingforcompliments]

...I do not know.

I have been feeling poorly since the beginning of the week, so I thought that perhaps I caught a cold, or that the stress of this situation was catching up to me. Since I began feeling ill long before the night when people died, I did not think anything of it...

[wowcool]

...You don't think someone might have poisoned you?

[fishingforcompliments]

...I suppose now I must consider the possibility.

[wowcool]

[But even so, over a long period of time...that's a bit unusual.]

Who would've wanted to, though?

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not know. I cannot recall quarreling with anyone but... Ogata, but if he wished to kill me, I do not think he would have used poison.

...also, he was one of the other victims.

[wowcool]

[wow ogata]

He was, I don't think we've seen him yet...

[OGATA WHERE ARE YOU, SCOOBY DOO]

Did you eat anything new this week? Or eat with someone?

[fishingforcompliments]

Mmm... I shared meals with a few people.

[She frowns to herself.]

Neena did cook for me one night, but she made a large batch... she was cooking for everyone. If it was her, then the others who ate her food would also be here right now...

[wowcool]

[He tilts his head, tapping at his chin.]

Was there anyone you ate with more than once?

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, but I was the one who cooked on those occasions.

[snyaiper]

[Here he is, the cat man.]

If I wanted to kill you, doing it in a way people wouldn't expect me to would have been a good way to get away with it.
[HM????]

[fishingforcompliments]

With all due respect, sir, you would have never succeeded in poisoning me.

[she smiles]

After last week's trial, I certainly did not trust you enough to let you anywhere near my food.

[snyaiper]

So I would have had C-3PO give you the poisoned food. It's not difficult to circumvent.
[Since, for some reason, the robot seems to respect him, despite all the warning signs.]

But really, I would have aimed for someone more irritating.

1/2

[fishingforcompliments]

Just how naive do you believe that I am? I am well aware that he would do whatever you asked of him, Ogata.

wait a minute.]
