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?

[She looks mildly surprised at the suggestion.]

Er... you mean, you want to go all out...?

[Are. Are you sure about this sir. We all remember the snowball.]

[ THE SNOWBALL WAS AN ACCIDENT THIS IS FINE, at least he now knows to look out for a headshot or two??? ]

... Yes.

I know Ferry said that it's a bad idea to fight the entity in the mirrors directly, but-- that doesn't stop it from sending other things against us, especially if we end up having to track down that last crystal this week and it's similarly heavily protected.

Call it wanting to know how destructive you can be if I were to turn you against such other creatures to protect the others, if it comes down to a last resort.

[ because if nageki didn't have salt on him last week, they'd probably would have died and respawned and wouldn't have retrieved the crystal, so there's at least some kind of a hang-up there, nbd. ]

[O-oh. Demure and insecure as usual:]

W-well... if you're sure.
laytorest: ([Serious] And the stuff in)

[And then she swiftly brings up her knives, oddly shaped like sewing needles, and it's like a switch has been flipped. Her steps were always quiet, yes, and her strength somewhat suspect, but...

Now, she does nothing to suppress the bloodlust, the readiness to strike at any moment - and indeed, that's his only warning before one of those iron needle blades comes flying for his skull.
