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 all get nothing helpful for the moment, just a pause and a very dry: ]

So did they actually catch someone involved or did they just make as much of a mess as it looked like they did?
illfatedgirl: (012)

hi new ghosties!

[personal profile] illfatedgirl 2020-05-03 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't surprise her at all that they have some new ghost pals, but it still saddens her anyway.]

This must have been a very difficult week for all of you. I'm sorry.
chemicalize: (Amazements)

ghost host with the most

[Well this is a lot of you. But she smiles anyway and tries to be as cheerful as she can in these times.]

It's nice to meet you. Though...it would be nicer if it wasn't like this, but this place isn't so bad. I can give you a tour if you'd like. [Hm.]

[ for someone who died in a pretty horrible way and then suddenly got revived, marie doesn't seem as shocked as she should be. in fact, this may as well be a day that ends in y for her. more than anything, she's confused, yes, but not so much regarding her own death. ]

Eh? Have you been watching from here the whole time?

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
A mess...?

[hi he just got here he doesn't know what the fuck happened yesterday. he just stares, a little confused.]

What... happened?
cookingwithdog: <user name=prodigal-axe site=livejournal.com> (04)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We can see what's happening over there during the week, when they announce who died and when they all stand around to figure out who killed who.

[ It's not quite a response to the question, exactly. So he adds. ]

Been doing that since I got here.

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It must be... harder on everyone else.

[surviving can be a lot rougher than dying, he's intimately familiar with that.

a tiny shake of his head-- he frowns, reaches up to it like he's making sure it's still there, and seems reassured. it seems repaired somehow...? he'll take it.]
cookingwithdog: <user name=prodigal-axe site=livejournal.com> (05)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ....... sigh. ]

You're dead.
deadened: (27)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[a slow tilt of his head.]

...I know?
cookingwithdog: <user name=yosukesheadphones site=tumblr.com> (13)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ BIGGER SIGH. ]

Again.
deadened: (13)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. I... know that, too.

[a hand unconsciously goes to his neck, there. hm. still attached, he guesses??]

What did you mean by... a mess?
cookingwithdog: <user name=prodigal-axe site=livejournal.com> (Default)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
No one really had any clue what had happened to any of you. 'Cept maybe the dog. But they had to pick someone, so--

I'm just wondering if they picked someone actually involved or whether they just fed this place a whole extra person.

[personal profile] illfatedgirl 2020-05-03 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's hard for everyone. Including you.

[and including the four ghosts that were already hanging out here, honestly.

she watches him touch his neck, and her expression softens.]


...ah... we should warn you. You'll be able to interact with the people who are still alive when the sun goes down. If something happened to your neck, then... you'll have that to contend with after sunset.

[she smiles a little sadly]

...mine snapped when I fell from the cliffs. I think it frightens the living when they see it.

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's... nice to meet you too.

[he's a polite zombie! wen ning offers her a little bow, there.]

...is it very different?

[presumably he hasn't had time to go see the differences, so!!]

[personal profile] guilloqueen 2020-05-03 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... and how long has that been, if you don't mind me asking?
cookingwithdog: <user name=prodigal-axe site=livejournal.com> (03)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs. ]

Long enough that I don't actually remember.

[ It all kinda bleeds into one here. ]
deadened: (16)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
They had to... kill someone? Who?

[oh, that's... bad. also bad that they apparently didn't know what was going on? he sort of wishes he'd been able to help, but...]

How long have we been...

[how much has he missed, what the heck.]
deadened: (10)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I already... frightened some of the living. Fewer than at home, but...

[wen ning is... used to it. there's nothing too sad in his tone; he just sounds resigned to it, honestly.]

It's... okay if all I do is see them.

[he's good at lurking. he might try to say hi, maybe, to certain people or if he's bold enough, but we'll see.]
cookingwithdog: (02)

[personal profile] cookingwithdog 2020-05-03 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
The girl with the long... rainbow coloured hair? I think they suspected she killed the blue haired guy.

[ Shinji folds his arms and leans his weight on one leg, looking thoughtful. ]

You all died some point after everyone passed out on Thursday night. So sometime between then and Friday morning. It's a couple of days later now, give or take.
chemicalize: (Presentations)

[personal profile] chemicalize 2020-05-03 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[A polite zombie...she looks delighted at least.]

Everything broken on that island isn't the same here. The spa's really nice for relaxing. And the fruit from the tree in the middle of the lake is so good, you have to try it!
deadened: (97)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh- I can't... eat.

[a slight shake of his head, as he looks as apologetic as it's possible for a zombie to look.]

But I'd... like to see it.

[He feels like he wants to throw up.]

[Anaido makes his way to the courtyard to sit near the fountain. He slept here before, when it was nothing but some ruins. It's gorgeous now.]

[But to him, right now, gorgeous doesn't matter. He takes off his jacket and just covers his head, pulling his knees to himself and rocking a bit.]


I shouldn't be here.

[You can hear him murmuring to himself, somehow deathly serious - its very uncharacteristic of the bright, joyful man that was fingergunning everyone when alive.]

I...shouldn't be here...
deadened: (24)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-05-03 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
A couple of days...

[he really has been out, hasn't he? but- he's here now. somehow.

at least he's no stranger to sudden revivals, and this time he's still the way he's used to being, so it's-- acceptable.

after a pause, though, he shakes his head.]


I don't... know anything about that. I'm sorry.
wowcool: (9)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-03 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[His smile is gone. It's a bizarre look for Anaido.]

I don't know. Who did they catch?

The girl with the long rainbow hair. She's the one the majority voted on.
