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 holds a hand up to shield her eyes, also, and returns the look with a quiet laugh. ]
As ready as one can be, I guess. [ pauses ] Going in together would probably be best.
[ She's got the child leash ready when you are, Raven. ]

All right. Let's see what's waitin' fer us on the other side.
[Into the portal they go.]

Furthermore, while the door seems far from dangerous, it'll give the sensation of... drifting off, and considering they're just there as trapped souls right now, they'll see their bodies gaining something of a transparent quality the closer they get to the door.
Do they still want to go through?]

...on seeeecond thought, maybe we should come back with the others at some point. Somethin's not sittin' right here. You feel it too, right?
no subject
I feel it as well. [ She watches as her hand gets solid again, flexing it slightly. ] Regrouping with the others is probably for the best.
[ Is there anything else here? Or is it just the physical embodiment of are you sure? ]

Here's hopin' we can get back here at some point. Let's retrace our steps and group up with the others in the meantime.
[Which also seems to be going SO WELL...]
no subject
If this is what we found, then I'm worried about what the others are encountering.
[ ALT INVESTIGATION ONCE AGAIN HAVING A REAL ONE IG, let's go regroup ]

Also while Raven and Morgan go for their rendezvous, they can notice that there do seem to be some small branching paths that they can use to eventually make it through all the way around the map, and there's a lot of little rift windows that they can use to snoop in on the living wherever they are. Enjoy...?!]
