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!

[The voice gets him to slowly raise his head and look. He blinks against the wet eyes, and he looks surprised.]

Muzet-san.

[He raises one arm to shield his eyes; the light reflected off her wings is bright.]

Your...

[schismanic]

Oh. Yes.

[ she's never walking again, hiza- but that doesn't mean she can't adjust her angle and position some such that the glare won't be quite so harsh. ]

I'd imagine any other part of you you'd felt was missing might come back to you soon enough too. Except for anything that would actually let us get out of here, unfortunately.

[leggymaru]

[Muzet is very valid.]

It has returned...? Ah... [He'll be able to feel himself--his swordsona. Wow.] You're... [He lowers his arm slowly, flushing only slightly. He's hoping it isn't forward to offer compliments.] You're very beautiful, Muzet-san.

I'm glad your true form has returned.

[schismanic]

[ she giggles a little in response- it doesn't seem she thinks it's forward, just flattering. ]

As am I. It felt strange to only be halfway myself for so long. Hopefully the same didn't apply to you, but...

[ either way, it's a little moot now. her expression gentles again, just a little. ]

There are people waiting for you, you know.

[leggymaru]

[Someone in particular, that's for sure.]

I know... [He looks away, turning his whole head, and he gives a small sigh. Reluctantly, he pulls himself up to his feet, trying to fix the state of himself for a moment. And then he looks back to Muzet.] Thank you, Muzet-san. I'll visit them.

How are you fairing here?

[schismanic]

Well enough. [ she crosses her legs, taking a seat primly in the air. her wings are moving slowly enough to indicate that whatever it is keeping her afloat, there might be at least a little more at play than simple powered flight. ] A little frustrated for the fact that, despite how much has been returned to me, I cannot facilitate any travel away from this place. You can neither swim nor fly away from the island, nor is it possible to pass much in the way of useful information back to the ship outside of a select few mechanisms.

[ her smile is delicate. ]

It's really quite the elaborate cage.

[leggymaru]

Ah...

[Frowning, he turns his head to glance out over the ocean. It had seemed so nice before, and now he's not so sure. If he knew what a snow globe was, he'd liken it to that.]

Don't lose hope, Muzet-san. Even if it's difficult for us to reach the others, and even if we are trapped here for now, they are working hard to free all of us. I believe in them.

If they can work together in formation, they'll do what needs to be done.

[schismanic]

... You really do believe in your brother, don't you? And all the people still on the ship...

[ well, the weekend was somewhat reassuring to an extent, but now their ability to stay the course... ]

[leggymaru]

Yes. They were working very hard, even if I happened to not be deeply involved. Elder brother, Kagachi-san, Dick-san, Junpei-san, the rest.

If they are trust each other, they'll be able to finish the mission.

[schismanic]

... hee hee. I have to admit, I'm somewhat jealous.

It must be nice, having someone with that much faith in you. I hope your brother appreciates that.

I hope they all do, really.

[leggymaru]

I believe in you, too, Muzet-san.

[Was he rude? Oops.]

He does... I know he does, even if sometimes he may not show it. The others, too. They're working very hard to help us.
