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?

[ but the comment makes his expression darken as he thinks about jack. ]

Don’t… I’ll do my best. It’s just…

[ he breathes in deeply, his gaze unfocused ]

I don’t know. It doesn’t matter.
gemuinemanagement: (it is the nature)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)

[why do you look disappointed suga]

And then Nageki says I jump to conclusions…

[ jiiiii ]
gemuinemanagement: (to calm me down)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine
I probably wouldn't be that good at it so I guess it's not a good motivator
Don't worry about it
mearry: (pic#7525416)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-12 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I’m just saying not to use that as a bargaining chip.
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

[....................]

So it's not because you don't want to

[ he’s just going to steal suga’s memo and pencil for a moment because he’s rude. ]

What do you think?
gemuinemanagement: (now all the late night bars)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taking it back for a second please.]

I know that's a rhetorical question but I don't think you'll like the answer anyway
mearry: (pic#10450561)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-12 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ memo please. ]

Love yourself please. (“-`)
gemuinemanagement: (people come and people go I know)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That's kind of hard when you've heard every day for 12 years that you're worthless and things would be better off if you didn't exist
But I am trying
I've gotten better since I got here


[...pause.]

So it's not a no?
mearry: (pic#6472239)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-12 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It’s not a no.
gemuinemanagement: (what you've found)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[!!!!

Gives him a hug.]
mearry: (pic#6796005)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-12 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh—

[ hugs back…? he chuckles a little bit. ]

Thank you. For everything.
gemuinemanagement: (she makes the sound)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you
For loving me


[He's so happy right now.]
mearry: (pic#10450562)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-12 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
…I should be the one saying that.

[ he sounds… relieved. though when he pulls away, he looks troubled.

…

he draws in a shaky breath. he wants to explain something but no words leave his lips.

he’ll take the memo again. ]


Jack is like looking into a mirror for me. I don’t like it.
gemuinemanagement: ('cause for that instant)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You've changed, though
I can tell just from watching you talk to people
You've become a better person than you were before
You're better than him
mearry: (shiita2)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-12 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
…

[ he is staring at suga like he grew a second head tbh. ]
gemuinemanagement: (remember me)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You let people tease you and understand that they don't mean anything bad by it
You don't keep up a perfect facade all the time
You're opening up to me honestly right now

It's not an instant change
It takes work and time
But you are improving
mearry: (pic#10451263)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-12 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ … he grimaces a little, though still smile. ]

I… I’m… if you say so. It’s just hard to see that when… I’ve done such horrible things.
gemuinemanagement: (of indignation)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-12 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Does doing bad things mean there's no point in trying to be better in the future?
I think if that were true
The world would be a very sad place


[Despite everything, he still believes that the world is a good place to live.]
mearry: (!C-ta-Icon-772)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-13 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ a long pause.

he grabs the memo pad.

he tries a couple times, and erases it each time. eventually, he shows it to suga. ]


It doesn’t mean that.

It means that I’m scared of the future. Even if it’s with you.

gemuinemanagement: (down by the sea)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-13 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're not going to do something like that again
I won't let you
For both our sakes


[He leans over to kiss C-ta's forehead.]
mearry: (4mtb14M)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-13 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ he gets a kiss! c-ta smiles wryly as he continues writing. half to suga, half to let his thoughts out. no wonder a-ya did this. ]

I won’t. You’re right.

It’s the guilt that I’m scared of.

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-07-13 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be here to help you with it
You're stronger than you think
mearry: (pic#6796073)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-07-13 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ c-ta smiles warmly at him, stealing a kiss from him.

when he pulls back, he’s looking up at him. ]


The moon’s beautiful, isn’t it?
