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?

[That's about all the advice Jack can give him just at the moment since he's busy making sure:
1. Nageki isn't on fire, why this.
2. Sami hasn't sprinted into the fire. She probably hasn't but it's always best to be sure about these things.
Once everyone is secured and/or smoking and/or less actively on fire: he'll sigh, unscrew one of the Christmas baubles he's carrying, take out a literal cherry bomb from it and then throw all the leftover salt inside the glass over the fire.
Will this even do anything.]

Um, Nageki-kun, stay back against the wall..!

[ Okay time to put his bag as absolutely far away from the fire as it can be, considering how much flammable stuff he has inside! He's not about to try using those, but he will try to throw salt as well? Water would be absolutely nice right now, but even if they did bring any, they wouldn't have enough for all this... So here's hoping all this salt does something? ]
Should we put the gem back...?

Also the fire seems to be changing to look brighter as time passes. It was orange originally, although now it's starting to look more yellowy.
Hm.]
no subject
he has never once in his life dropped to the floor and rolled around. as normal as the request is, it's a tad daunting under these very specific circumstances. he continues flapping, which... helps? sami's water helps too. ]
... I'll figure something out. Please focus on yourselves.
no subject
Lucifer-san! Catch!
[ She waits until she's sure he's heard her and ready for it. Then she pulls back the gem and aims it towards at him...! ]
no subject
she has his attention, however divided it is. ]
Sami—?
[ thankfully, the gem reaches and he manages to catch it!! give him a moment and he will nod and rush over to the middle area. please be safe in the meantime, all of you!! ]
I understand. I'll come back for you. [ brb for real ]
no subject
The hallway continues to burn.]
