GRAVEYARD

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!

[Okay, he was wondering if it would be rude to interrupt the sacred battle between man and fish but-]

[this kid (read: ageless, timeless sword spirit) was gonna fall in]


Alright, c'mon-

[he'll get behind Hizamaru to help him leverage and try to pull out whatever monster fish was wriggling beneath the surface (no homo)]

Should we... let it... win? I think... it is a powerful... water beast!

[Did a shark get his fucking line?!

There's no way they are going to be able to reel this thing in, he thinks. The line is way longer than he realizes, but it's quickly depleting in the reel. He presses back into Aizawa to brace himself for the inevitable. Both hands are now too busy holding the pole.]
Aizawa-san, it-- [The line rigidly meets the end and holds taut for maybe one second.

And then it snaps, relieving the pressure on the pole. But that means it bounces wildly back at them, tossing them both backward.]
dryeyes: just mumbling “they're so goddamn stupid” over and over (i feel bad for teachers)

[personal profile] dryeyes 2019-11-13 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whatever the fuck is on the line, Aizawa's starting to wonder if he should be using his capture weapon instead. He's fought people with giant fishlike mutations. Maybe it was that. Should they let it win?]

[well, no time to think about that, because the line snaps and they fall back. Aizawa's positioned behind him so his back hits the dock first with a solid-sounding smack. Oof. At least Hizamaru falling on top of him isn't too much more weight. He's had worse things fall on him.]


... we probably should have just let it win.

[he's just gonna. lay here for a bit, ok. if hiza wants to get up immediately that's his choice.]

[personal profile] leggymaru 2019-11-13 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, Aizawa goes back and, lacking his previous support, he goes back too. They land in a heap with Hizamaru half on and half off, the pole tumbling off to the side.]

What kind of beast...?

[After a moment or two, he rolls up into a sit, turning to glance back at Aizawa. He has... he has a soft red whelp of a line running up over a cheek, skipping, hitting along his brow where the pole had slapped him in the face when it recoiled.]

Sorry, Aizawa-san. [He turns to his knees and toes, getting off Aizawa, but offering out a hand.] Is fishing really always such an adventure?
dryeyes: and taught me everything i know about love [<user name="dryeye">] (quizilla's 7 minutes in heaven)

[He'll shift up when Hizamaru offers a hand. Ugh... it stings. Well, there was an easy solution to this.]

Ah, not really. It used to be the most exciting thing was a cat would show up.

[Meaning back home, of course. There were, tragically, no stray cats on the island for Aizawa to try and lure in for pets. Just Shiraishi. And he was tricky. He'll rub his lower back with a free hand and- there's a small snort of air when he sees the red mark on Hizamaru's face.]

... Yeah. You're too diligent, sometimes.

[but he doesn't say it like it's a terrible thing.]
leggymaru: (15 - oa9pdqG)

[personal profile] leggymaru 2019-11-13 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. I wish there were some here.

[Kitties. Why are there no kitties in the graveyard. Please let the puppysword interact with kitties. Well, Shiraishi, but... he already interacts with him.]

Elder brother is a very carefree spirit, so I must be diligent for the two of us.

[Aizawa keeps trying to get him to think about something else, but every single time he zooms straight back to Higekiri.]
dryeyes: then you are the mom friend (every group of friends has a mom friend)

[personal profile] dryeyes 2019-11-13 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[no kitties in the graveyard was really the truest sign it wasn't actually paradise. this was the bad place and they needed to get out as soon as they could.]

[Aizawa's lip twitches downward slightly at where it comes back to. Well, it's not his job to try and make Hizamaru live for himself. There's something about it that just sits at the edge of familiarity of it, too...]

["You're good at all that nitpicky stuff and we're terrible at it!"]

[... hm. If only it worked like that.]


Ah, well. That redness should go away with some sunbathing. For some reason the beach here cures all wounds.
leggymaru: (22 - lZdcHdX)

[personal profile] leggymaru 2019-11-13 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks surprised a moment, his hand reaching up to touch his face. He winces gently; it's a little sore, stings a bit. Human bodies are wild.]

The beach repairs us?

[Death is also WILD. He glances down at his hand as if it has the answers somehow. It does explain how he woke up without all of the disaster he had when he left the ship.]
dryeyes: is a good meme [<user name="expellerhead">] (replaces curses with words like heck)

[personal profile] dryeyes 2019-11-13 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is, indeed, wild. Although it only seems to repair to a set point. After all, there's an obvious scar under Aizawa's eye that's not getting fixed since he had it before ever setting foot on the ship.]

Yeah. Nakahara took a slash to the stomach and was back to his usual self after a bit of time out there. I broke an arm and it didn't even need to be splinted.

[which, like, he did anyways but he's not egotistical enough to assume it healed perfectly because of his splint-job]
leggymaru: (46 - l1d8dBQ)

[personal profile] leggymaru 2019-11-14 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's amazing...

[He'll keep it in mind--especially later when they're all washed back up on the beach from their galavant in the ruins.]

The repairing here is similar in a way to the repairing back home. It was so different on the ship.

I figure it's got something to do with us already being dead.

[Or maybe how it was supposed to be "safe"? Hm. ... wait, wasn't there a strange thing there?]

... this is closer to what you're used to?
leggymaru: (33 - xFvgs8D)

[personal profile] leggymaru 2019-11-14 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[He nods.]

When we are damaged in battle, we are repaired once we return home. [He puts a hand on the hilt of the sword at his side.] We are taken to the forge to be repaired. It requires some time, so we stay until it's complete.
dryeyes: in my cats engine (cat mechanic : i’m actually called a vet)

[personal profile] dryeyes 2019-11-14 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
... you're repaired, or-

[points at hizamaru (human), then at hizamaru (sword), then back to hizamaru (human)]
leggymaru: (12)

[personal profile] leggymaru 2019-11-14 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[??

He glances down and then up again.]


Oh. Both. It is a part of who I am. Though we do often need care for our human bodies, too.
dryeyes: but certain circumstances have made that impossible (hawaiian shirt + bags under eyes)

[personal profile] dryeyes 2019-11-14 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
So wounds on the blade are reflected on the owner?

[that's weird but, again, he's trying to have a half-open mind about this stuff]
leggymaru: (33 - xFvgs8D)

[personal profile] leggymaru 2019-11-15 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods his head.]

Mm. Our human bodies hold our spirit... so we are tethered together and share damages.
