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!

[His eyes lower to Illumi's hand, but he doesn't pull away from it, and he even returns the squeeze. He's trying to... also... be reassuring...??? It's fine.]

Please treat me appropriately, and I will be sharp for you.

[He doesn't kneel or bow deeply, but he does raise Illumi's hand to bend at the neck and place it against his forehead and nose, like a sign of respect.]

[selfservinglove]

I have no doubt that you will be.

[A sigh as the man presses his forehead against his hand - he lets it sit there, fingers curling slightly into his hair.]

I want you to realize your true potential. [His hand shifts to cup the side of the other's cheek. The other hand also comes up and does the same on the other side - he shifts the man's head close, dipping to rest his forehead against the other's.] I'll hold you with a steady hand. All I ask is that you never lose sight of our goal.

[leggymaru]

[Like 99% of other people would be absolutely revolted having to stare into Illumi's eyes, but alas, he is a stupid sword and there is nothing wrong with this at all.]

I won't. The mission is always important. Losing sight of it means it will fail.

[selfservinglove]

Very good. [He hums.] You can relax a little while you're here, of course. Have fun with everyone. But you have to limit yourself.

[His grip tightens slightly.]

The last thing I want is for you to become dull.

[leggymaru]

[The focused, golden eyes shift under the lashes, but he doesn't flinch or move from the grip.]

You do not have to worry, Illumi-san. I would sooner break before I would become dull. If you wield me correctly, I can cut anything in my path.

[selfservinglove]

[A long pause.]

[And then he smiles.]

I'm very glad. [He bends in, presses his lips to the other's forehead.] I have to say...it's good to see you again, Hizamaru.

[leggymaru]

[Momentarily, his eyes lid.]

It's good to see you as well, Illumi-san. Have you been finding things to do here?

[selfservinglove]

[He pulls back, hands lightly resting on the other's shoulders.]

I have. We've been talking a lot with Polly and Carlos, and it seems there's more to those ruins in the distance than we expected. Some of the others have actually went to them to see what's inside.

[leggymaru]

[His expression grows more serious.]

The zombies... Did you find anything else?
