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?

...Needles? Like the ones you carry, Miss Yor?

[ he may or may not have a very skewed idea of needles now ]

Like sewing needles!

[So. Kind of yes, actually?]

I'm not sure why they'd look like needles through a magnifying glass... But things around here have been unraveling into cloth?
laytorest: ([Fret] There’s the slugs)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-12 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Then... maybe...

The person with the gnarly hands... sewed everything? Or wait...

[?????????

She doesn't know either.

That begs the question of why their hands are here then. Especially considering what we know about crystals.
laytorest: ([Embarrassed] “Sorry; sorry; I’ll let)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-12 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe someone dropped it in to hide it?

[That's just what you do with bodies.]

I don't know why it would only be one hand, though.
libirdian: (lecture time)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-07-13 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
They could be both hiding and trying to keep them separate, maybe...?
laytorest: ([Fret] There’s the slugs)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-13 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would they need to keep it separate, though? Is it because the hand has needles?

[????????

This is too much she doesn't have the brains for it.

Hmm, it's like a plot device in stories? Parts of something are broken and scattered across an area to be sealed.
laytorest: ([Determined] Let me show you)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-15 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... so it can't ever be put together again?

[Makes sense, she did the same with the Book of Demise.]

So... maybe we need to scatter all of these pieces, too!
libirdian: (reading books)

I don't see many downsides to doing it. If anything, there might be more downsides to putting them all together.
laytorest: ([Determined] Let me show you)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-17 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods!]

I'll figure out something. We already had to hide that book C-ta had.
