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?

and then he throws it out ]


Yes, this hand is gnarly.

Are you all right, C-ta?

Then... if this is one of its hands, should we... do something about it? Everything else that dies turns into crystals.

I'm not sure. If it would make everyone feel safer, we could surround it with a circle of salt.

[ that might help?? maybe?? ]
lastreward: (well)

[personal profile] lastreward 2021-07-11 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Does... salt even work against it?
oversaw: (thinking)

[personal profile] oversaw 2021-07-11 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ shaking his head ]

I don't know. It seems to work against most other creatures here, so at the very least I don't think it hurts to try.

[personal profile] lastreward 2021-07-11 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess that's a problem we'll have to see when we come to it....?
laytorest: ([Determined] Let me show you)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-12 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I have two more bags of salt, so I can spare some to test on it!
lastreward: (sorry)

[personal profile] lastreward 2021-07-12 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm more worried that the testing will happen in the middle of a fight or something...
laytorest: ([Confused] He says drooling)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-12 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
...Like while we're fighting monsters...?
lastreward: (ummmmm)

[personal profile] lastreward 2021-07-12 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it'd be unfortunate to find out then. [ Well.. apparently their efforts are moot anyway. ]
laytorest: ([Confused] the door)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-12 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Let's give it a try, then!

[She carries a little salt with her: what happens if she salts the well bones?]

...I guess it's immune?

If "everythin' else that dies turns into crystals" but this hand is still here [it's bone, but not crystal, that's "here" in a manner of speaking], perhaps some salt would do it some good. Wouldn't want it ta do somethin' to someone, if it's not fully dead, right?
laytorest: ([Look] Suspect D:)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-12 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Side glance........]

I do have two bags now, so I could give it a try.

[personal profile] foxetious 2021-07-12 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I can't imagine it'd need a full bag, for a precaution. A circle or a dustin' on it might be enough.
laytorest: ([Fret] in a teacup.)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-07-12 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, she just tried salting it.]

Nothing happened.
