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?
[Welcome to the Graveyard! This is part 2 of the GY post for Weeks 6 and 7. The previous post for Weeks 2-5 is linked above. Please also view the GY doc linked above for a full rundown of the basics. You may also still submit for items and gacha rolls using the GY shop post.]

Looks like this side of the workshop isn't so well illuminated. He won't be able to see what's going on unless he gets real close, it seems.
...but none of them move when he approaches, even though he has a lethal weapon at hand.
Come closer, C-ta, it'll be fine]
no subject
with his free hand, he'll take the adder stone out and look. tell him your secrets. ]
no subject
It's a little strange. The people are still there, but when he looks he'll see the outlines of some rather varied objects floating there, in the center of every single figure. C-ta won't be able to distinguish them due to the lack of illumination, but each one of them is shining to the adder stone.
None of these people move]
no subject
he puts the adder stone back in his pocket.
walks closer. ]
no subject
Hi, C-ta, say hi to your boyfriend. This sure is Koutarou Suga, life-size, a perfect replica of him. If you didn't know better you'd think he somehow teleported here and was waiting, sitting down here.
Except this has buttons instead of eyes. Neat!]
no subject
but he doesn't.
he'll put the sword away. and use the adder stone on that fake suga. can he see the shining thing any better? ]
no subject
Right in the core of it he'll see...a piece of jewelry. One that looks identical to the ones Suga usually makes.
Neat!]
no subject
more dolls? ]
no subject
All of them with buttons instead of eyes, but they're all pretty dang well crafted. Perfect in every way, really!
By logic it's likely the rest of the dolls, still unseen, correspond to everyone else in the graveyard. None of them seem to be for someone alive]
no subject
fine. he'll try to keep his anger at a normal amount for now. he'll take one of them--let's say raven's. hesitantly, he'll touch it. how does it feel? ]
no subject
While he's touching the doll, though, he'll feel such an odd sensation on his fingertips. Want to press on? It'll be alright, no bold warnings]
no subject
he'll touch it again. this time, the hair. how does...that feel? what happens? ]
no subject
The sensation returns while he's touching the hair. Want to press on? Still no bold warnings!]
no subject
but.
sure. ]
no subject
Will you try to get your arm out, C-ta? When you do, you'll notice Raven's arm moves the same way you move yours.
Tada!]

Which is to say Yor is throwing an iron needle dagger at its head.]
no subject
Rude.
Thankfully, Raven, who presumably is walking alongside Morgan to return from Bold Warning, doesn't suffer any ill effects. Neither Yor nor C-ta know that, though!
As for C-ta, well, let's just say it's a good thing Yor didn't stab the doll in the arm or else he'd be in serious pain. Thankfully he should still be able to get his arm out of the doll. Raven's doll will continue moving while he does, but he should be able to get it out without any problems]
no subject
what happens if he steps away after? does the doll only move its arm? ]
no subject
Go, go, go!
[IT IS TIME TO LEAVE SHOO SHOO.]
no subject
That was something! And that seems to be generally all there's to find in this workshop.]

[Rika turns around just in time to see Yor throw a needle at one of those dolls in the corner. Oh. Ok.]
