GRAVEYARD

[fullthottle]

GRAVEYARD POPULATION: 17 Abruptly, you come to. The sun is hot on your back, but there's the gentle lapping of cool water on your feet and legs as you regain your consciousness. Beneath you is sand - lots and lots of sand, some of it wet, the majority of it dry and burning. You hear the sound a seagull crying from somewhere up above you, and you can smell and almost taste the tang of salt in the air. You've found yourself washed up on what appears to be some kind of tropical island - one of your hands is gripping your clamshell, even if you didn't have it in your hand before you died. It's bright and well-lit, and there's the sound of voices from somewhere a ways away from the beach. Lastly, as you sit up, if you had some kind of supernatural power before coming here, you notice one thing in particular - that power that you were so familiar with before it vanished upon your awakening inside the hotel? It's back. Welcome to paradise. You won't be leaving here any time soon. - - - Welcome to the graveyard! Though your character is now out of the living side of the game, this does not mean they are fully removed from the action. We have several mechanics and events planned that will allow the dead to affect the course of the game just as much, if not more, than those on the living side. We will announce these opportunities as they happen in the #graveyard-announcements channel. But in the meantime, here are a couple of neat things to consider as you settle into the graveyard! 1. As mentioned above, all characters will wake up with their clamshell in hand. While there's no place to use Finansex at this moment, characters will still have access to the My Appointments app to request NPC audiences. Go forth and request private meetings as your heart desires. 2. The graveyard has its very own location page. You can check it out over here to see what kind of shenanigans your characters can get up to while on the island. 3. Additionally, powers are now available. While some may still be nerfed if they are too game breaking, most characters will wake up to find that the majority of their powers have been reactivated. Should you have any questions or concerns about this, don't hesitate to contact us. We hope you have fun!

[ There's something glowing blue, too. It's hard to make it out because going from outside to inside... ]

Maybe I can shed a little light? [ Aiming his gun towards the ceiling down the hall. He'll wait for Logy to say go for it. ]

[airshipped]

Go for it.

[The moment light hits the figure it rushes for them, mouth full of glowing blue teeth.]

[silvergun]

[ He'll shoot starshell, and it'll go zooming across before lighting up the room. It'll stay up at the ceiling for a while. ]

Whoa! What the hell?!

[ It's a person that looks like they are decomposing and moving faster than possible.

He immediately is leaping to the side already bringing his gun to shoot at a leg.

Which... doesn't seem to do shit other than give it another place to ooze black from. It looks like a bad case of Starscourge. ]

[airshipped]

[The first thought he has is: that's a monster.

The second is: they need to stop it.

A hit to the leg does nothing to slow it, but maybe- Logy swings his sword towards it's neck, attempting to decapitate it.]

slight gore/blood mention

[silvergun]

[ It's almost there, but thankfully this one isn't armed. It will try to swipe at them with it's fists.

The strike lands true. The head goes off and the body falls forward. Black blood comes spilling out of the hole and it's head rolls forward to Prompto's feet.

Prompto is just going to yelp as he moves quickly behind Logy. ]

Whoa! Get it away!

[ The head will vanish as the body will turn into a torn page. ]

[airshipped]

[He lets Prompto hide behinds him, and he looks around to see if there's another one of those creatures ready to attack.]

It's gone? Have you ever seen something like that before?

[silvergun]

The glowing teeth is definitely new.

[ Just going to look down the hall to make sure nothing else is going to rush out of no where. ]

It reminds me of Starscourge... but way more grosser. Hey, there's paper on the floor.

[ He'll pick it up to examine it. ]

It looks like a torn piece of a book? I... can't read it. Think it's from that one book Polly used?

[airshipped]

Starscourge? Is that a disease where you're from?

A book...? It might be. Do you want to keep a hold of it or should I?

[silvergun]

A parasitic darkness diseases. It uh. Turns people into daemons.

I can pocket this one, and you can grab the next? If there's a next. I'm hoping there's not a next.

[ Speaking of... if they listen, they might be able to hear something quickly climbing up stairs. ]

[airshipped]

[In any other situation, he'd probably ask questions about that. But right now? No time.

He's quiet as he listens and then shakes his head.]

We're not going to be that lucky. Get ready.

we can have them messed up when they get downstairs

[silvergun]

Oh goody. Exploring old ruins with daemons. In the dark.

[ Dark-ish. His flare is slowly dimming so there's still light.

It's another moment before another one looking just as bad as the last one comes barreling down the hall at them. ]
