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?

cw: death by throat cutting?

[And Jack keeps smiling, and smiling, and smiling, even as the bloodflow continues -- even as his eyes get glassier, staring straight at C-ta and past him -- even with dying gasps and coughs going on though he doesn't particularly try to talk given it's inconvenient, really, this is such an inconvenient way to die.

C-ta really should practice his wrist flicks.

It takes a little while, maybe some rather unsettling death throes, but Jack watches C-ta watching him die throughout.

Anyway, Jack Vessalius is dead. The sequel!]

[ death really isn't something that he can get used to.

in a way, that's a good thing. it reminds c-ta that a life is important, even in a place where death is cheap and they can come back at any time.

but as he watches jack bleed to death...it's simply too much for him. even before he dies, c-ta runs out of the room, his heart hammering against his chest with an intense guilt and anxiety that threatens to overwhelm him.

he barely makes it out of the doors before he has to slide down against the wall and bring his knees against his chest, covering his head to cry. ]
