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?

[ Oh... That... He glances aside for a second as he puts his hands in his pockets and sighs. ]

It had nothing to do with my wish. I thought Moriarty was out to kill me, so...

[ He tried to attack first. ]

What about you?

[That...actually gets a small laugh out of him.]

So, two people died because of paranoia.

How unfortunate.

[Almost actually funny, rather than just the kind that would leave him laughing out of bitterness or some forced feeling to do so.]

I neeted to fix something. Vone of the biggest mistakes of my life. Ant...I knew I coult not do it on my own, so...

[A shrug.]

I tried. And failed.

[ It's not so funny to someone who's still feeling remorse over acting so reckless. Throwing himself into trying to help the others kept his mind off things somewhat, but... The parrot's reason seemed to hit a little close to home. ]

So you wanted to use a wish to fix the past? Or am I missing something?
hellochildren: (Ensure that it does not happen again)

Yes. Eizer prevent an explosion entirely, or just save ze woman who died in it. I woult have accepted it regardless.

But insteat, I have only joined you in death.

[And he...is very uncomfortable with that, in all honesty.]
