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!

You can explore the ruins?

[ his eyes are going straight to one of the buildings in the distance... chuuya may recognize it as a traditional japanese citadel. ]

[goatsongs]

Carlos and company sent us over there recently, it's how we got the papers we used to translate that whole ritual shebang. Got jumped by a bunch of zombies.

[His eyes go to... well, it's a library, but that's hard to tell from the outside.]

[namelessfighter]

Ah. Someone mentioned the zombies, but not... how it happened.

[ he's going to follow chuuya's gaze. ]

Is that one yours, then? Was that where you went?

[goatsongs]

That one's mine, but I went to the other Chuuya's. That office building over there.

[He figured it was red Chuuya's the instant he got to the top - it's identical to his office here.]

[namelessfighter]

Did they get the two of you confused?

[ said lightly... he's at least trying to be in a better mood than when he arrived. ]

Yours, then - what is it?

[goatsongs]

The library I was summoned to.

...Those zombies are people we know. [He didn't recognize any of them, but Chuuya's description of Mori - and the shade who could only be Kajii - checks out.] I'm not sure I could fight shades of my coworkers myself. You know?

[namelessfighter]

[ a nod. ]

It's the same for me - the citadel I was first summoned to.

[ oh, but... that's concerning. no one mentioned THAT part. ]

I... Yes, I could see how it would be difficult. Although if it's not really them, I think it might be easier.

[goatsongs]

Some of the authors are kids.

[Bluntly.

He can't take a shot at a child, even if it's a shade of a child that's trying to kill him.]

[namelessfighter]

Ah. I see.

You'll want to stay away from the citadel, then. Most of the tantous manifest looking like human children. I don't know if they'll be there, if we can go, but it's better you not find out for yourself.

[goatsongs]

I'll steer clear. ...Thanks.

[namelessfighter]

[ he smiles softly. ]

You said you're like a tsukumogami, but you are still far more human than we are. I don't think that's a bad thing.

[goatsongs]

I remember what it was like to be Nakahara Chuuya. Sometimes I wish I didn't, but it is what it is.

[Chuuya is Fine.]

[namelessfighter]

We remember our time as swords, but none of us had the burden of a human heart until being summoned. It... makes it both easier and more difficult to understand them sometimes.

[ but onto something, ah... slightly less emotional? maybe? ]

I did read your poetry, after you lent me the book. It was quite good.

[goatsongs]

[Poetry is always emotional, it's fine.]

Yeah? Glad you liked it. If I ever stop writing poetry, then you'll know I'm not a Chuuya, human or not.
