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?

On the other hand, perhaps we should have retrieved one -- putting one of us inside one of those may be able to give us more information. [there's... a long moment of thought here, actually, before:] What I can say is... the body I was using during the game was likely not my original body at all. There was an important mark missing, as well as other key differences. What I don't know is whether my soul was simply placed in a doll body for the duration of the game, or whether there was any way to tell, even after death.
[He feels as though the living would have mentioned it by now if it were that easy to tell. But? Hm. What else can they experiment with in this matter....
That being said why is he so cavalier about potentially having been a button-doll abomination for six weeks. SMDH.]

[ wait wait wait what. ]
Did you get any confirmation from Hamelin about that? That itβs not your body?
no subject
I wonder if there is a way to retrieve one of these bodies... Now I would really like to know more.

[ his expression darkens just a tad as he hums. ]
Weβd have to go back there, but who knows if B might have returned.
no subject
There is one other possibility.
If the dolls are created by B, and if the fairies aside from Ferry have been created by B... Perhaps we should check to see just how different Ferry is from her supposed brethren?

[Basically it's time to throw the adder stone at them, hold the salt, maybe hold the iron? Possibly we do not want to melt the fairies yet.]

... I realize we're most likely not that similar, per se, but I'm more than willing to be tested, if needed.

[Wow, look at Morgan's face! Jack kind of makes some confused expressions in return but settles on... pleasantly bringing up all the worrying notions in the world. It's fine. He's here to help!(?)]
