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!

[retreat to deal with the threat or continue his elimination-]

[he hears the sound of the gun fire and makes his decision. his wraps the capture weapon around his target's arm and uses the leverage to pull him forward, knee him in the gut, and push him onto the ground.]

Nakahara!

[status, bud?]

[goatsongs]

You focus on that guy -

[Because yeah he did get a shot to this lady's chest, but that hasn't gotten her down. Probably wasn't human even before all of this shit. He narrowsly ducks under a swipe of her sword - it nicks his hat.]

Fuck you, don't touch the hat!

[aaand that's a shot to the face.]

[dryeyes]

[Alright, he doesn't need to be told twice. A live grenade the shade had readied gets kicked off further down the hallway to explode there. He slams the shade's head against the ground and- crack.]

[That should be dealt with. He turns back to Chuuya and the woman, activating his quirk in case her transformation is something he can negate.]

[goatsongs]

[BSD rules say that it is negatable! And humanity rules say that humans are a lot more susceptible to being shot in the chest and face than Stands abilities, which means she turns back when he activates his quirk and then sort of... belatedly remembers she has a hole in her chest and falls over.]

Huh.

[dryeyes]

[Aizawa stays tense, waiting for any sounds of another threat. It doesn't come. The bodies gurgle that some black goo they bleed and- left in it's wake is a page.]

[Aizawa will pick up the bomb man's.]

... something from a book?

[goatsongs]

[Chuuya picks up sword lady's, too.]

Looks like demon writing to me.

[dryeyes]

Maybe a clue.

[he trods back to Chuuya,]

Here. Hold onto this one, too. It's less likely to get damaged.

[provided he, like, does his job right]

[goatsongs]

[like not letting a lady with a sword charge at the ranged fighter]

Got it. [He'll tuck it away somewhere.]

[dryeyes]

[it was either that or let bombs get thrown at them, ok, there was no good option]

How bad's your injury?

[goatsongs]

I've had worse recently. Let me get a look-

[He lifts up his shirt to get a clearer picture of the injury and oh, hey, he's bleeding ink.]

You got a bandage?

[dryeyes]

[... hm. It's one thing to hear it, another thing entirely to see it.]

... I could tear some of my outfit.

[listen, it looks like he has bandages around his neck but they're an extremely durable fiber he needs to fight with]

[because hey, they weren't told but... there are three shades on the bottom floor]

[goatsongs]

I'll just tear mine. It's got ink on it now anyway.

[Goodbye, bottom part of Chuuya's shirt, he knew you well.

Third shade? What third shade? Surely this is a time in which they can stop and recover with absolutely zero fear.]

[dryeyes]

[Well, they'll get him as patched up as they can in this situation.]

[... is that the sound of- some sort of cloth? Was there cloth to be used as a bandage that he missed? He glances back and sees the telltale blue that he's already starting to recognize as the enemy.]

Incoming!

[chuuya's injured so he'll be a little less rough than usual but- get down]

[goatsongs]

[chuuya likes it rough anyay

I mean. he ducks, just in time for some kind of weird shade cloth to go shooting ocer his head and then pull back.]

What the hell is that?!

[dryeyes]

[tmi but duly noted]

[Aizawa flashes his quirk active, but it doesn't seem to do anything against the cloak.]

... this isn't the main body. It's some kind of extension.

[He can't just take off and leave Chuuya again. He readies his capture cloth- time to take a defensive strategy with this one.]

[goatsongs]

I can't waste bullets against it - did you see what direction it came from?

[this 'limited ammo' thing kind of sucks.]

[dryeyes]

It seems like-

[checking the area]

-There!

[thwip! the capture cloth loops around, well- cloth, and tugs. the blue outline seems to lead back to a figure: the main body, which responds with a sharp movement of the cloak.]

[goatsongs]

[Reacting quickly, Chuuya fires a shot directly at the figure's chest - but they pull their cloth back to serve as a shield, and the bullet does no harm.]

Dammit...

[dryeyes]

... If I get that cloak away from the body, can you make the shot?

[he'll have to go in as bait, but if it works...]

[goatsongs]

I can. -Just don't get killed.

[He doesn't want to find out what double dead means here.]

[dryeyes]

Same to you.

[triple dead probably isn't any more fun]

[Anyways, he'll dash forward to challenge the cloak. If he attempts ot look like he's moving for a flank, the cloak will go to cover. Then he just needs to hold it there, far enough away that it can't get back in time to protect the host.]

[goatsongs]

[Predictably, the cloak goes at the most obvious enemy. Perhaps less predictably, the cloak goes for 'the best defense is a good offense' strategy, and shoots out towards Aizawa.]

[dryeyes]

[The attack takes some thinking to respond to, wrapping loops of the capture weapon around what he can (grabbing a cloak is hard). He ends up getting flung and having to awkwardly position his feet against the walls of the hallway.]

[He can feel a moment of stinging pain but- this is fine. He's dealt with worse.]
