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?

Which, fair, honestly.]
Can't say I am, C-ta. [With a heavy sigh,] Can't say I am.

[Wow, he feels bad for getting suspicious of them now.
But anyway, to actually answer C-ta's question...he sighs and guiltily rubs at the back of his head.]
Listen, I didn't want ta actually act, it's just...complicated, okay?
[The flimsiest of flimsy excuses.]

[ “educated” ]
And we had a request to keep you safe, so it was like a two for one. But then you landed yourself here aaaanyways, so clearly it doesn’t matter now.

...he lowers his head in a display of genuine remorse.]
Sorry ta put ya'll on the spot and then immediately ruin it. I 'ppreciate what ya did, even if it doesn't seem like it.
no subject
seeing raven look so down, however…it doesn’t really help with the mood. c-ta sighs and shakes his head. ]
It’s fine…I’m sure that we still got a chance. I’m not sure what kind of community we are here, but we’re definitely one. [ he shrugs ] And I gotta apologize to you too. For what happened in my trial.
no subject
[Raven thinks back a bit, and he remembers the awkwardness that transpired.]
Eh, that whole trial was a mess fer a ton of reasons. It was kinda hard ta dwell on it too long. 'sides, everyone's seen what was buggin' me back then anyway...
[He probably was playing things way too safe in hiding his blastia for so long, but he can't really go back and change things now.]
no subject
[ c-ta still looks somewhat guilty? but he supposes that's just a feeling he'll have to get used to. ]
Well, you're probably right. Better to not dwell about it too much. [ it will keep him up at 3 am ] Maybe they'll give us all some sort of a fresh start. I'm not sure.
no subject
[As for that last bit...]
What, ya mean those of us that acted? I think you'd be surprised. Those still alive are a lot more forgivin' than we deserve, if ya ask me.
