GRAVEYARD PT. II

GRAVEYARD


The world is black. And then you blink at your plate.

A portion of your favorite dish greets your eyes, albeit in a form you may never have seen it in before. Encased in a thick, wobbling layer of multi-colored gelatin, the food you know and love now sits suspended in its protein-based enclosure as an eccentric re-imagining of the dish. Furthermore, it only takes a glance to see that the rest of the dining table's spread shares this same theme, as every single dish, sweet or savory, finds itself victim to a jiggling Jell-o jail.

Still, you won't have much time to take this all in before a quiet, high-pitched giggling makes its way to your ears, only crescendoing in volume the longer you sit in this oh-so-familiar dining room. It doesn't take much to find the source of the sound either; unlike the other side, this place is absolutely teeming with fairies to the point where the fluttering of their iridescent wings is clearly audible behind the din of their laughter. As you come to your senses, dozens and dozens of beady eyes watch with their tiny faces stretched out in a wide grin, before speaking in unison.

"Welcome, we can't wait to serve you!"

As the fairies erupt in raucous laughter all around you, at least one more thing is readily apparent: however you met your end, your body is completely whole again. You also have company at the table with you, although whether it's desirable company or not may depend on the circumstances surrounding your death.

In any case, there's nothing stopping anyone from leaving the dining room and roaming freely as usual, and most of the same areas that were available to you on the other side are still present here, albeit with some differences. And though your life may have been stolen from you, it still looks like you have a part in this tale, somehow, someway.

So, will you let your story finish here, or will you write your own ending?

[ She takes a minute to let him get used to her being here, then her smile darkens. ]

I hope you already know, you have a lot of questions to answer.

S-Samidare...

[He tried to prepare for being executed but it occurs to him now that he did not at all actually prepare to see the dead in person again.

...and then she gets that Look on her face and he suddenly feels very Afraid.

He offers the weakest laugh imaginable.]


D-Do I, now...?

[ ... she sighs, she hoped he'd be cooperative, considering things. ]

Of course, since you had a important role and all that. I hope you'll explain to us all very thoroughly your actions this week and before.

[Sorry Samidare, coping mechanisms die hard. He'll actually cooperate once he hears her mention his role.]

...I know, I really blew it. But I wasn't intendin' fer things ta go this way- fer all this ta be a waste.
lastreward: (my order)

[personal profile] lastreward 2021-07-04 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. We don't know much of it is yet. Hopefully, you can enlighten us soon and we'll put our information together?

... I assume Tenn told you things too?
reallyfishy: (★ serious)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-07-04 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods, on both counts.]

Yeah. I'll tell ya everything. Maybe some of it's worthwhile.

As fer Tenn, he's told me some, yeah. That he's been talkin' to y'all and passin' yer messages on ta the group. Gotta say, I'm interested in hearin' what y'all hafta say without a filter...

[Once everyone's done roasting him, of course.]
lastreward: (this is juice)

[personal profile] lastreward 2021-07-04 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well that's good, she's glad to hear. As well as him being quite cooperative. ]

Hmm, what about our other... new residents? Do you think they'll have a lot to tell us too?
reallyfishy: (★ guilty)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-07-06 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He offers a light shrug.]

They'll have ta answer fer themselves. I wouldn't say I was close enough with 'em fer them ta share anything particularly illuminatin'.

Easier for you to kill that way, I guess.
