End Game

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?

WEEK 6

[faentasy]

[Another week, another group of newcomers. Welcome Pericles, Morgan and Raven.]

WEEK 7

[faentasy]

[It's been a long road getting here, hasn't it? Welcome, Suga and Jack.]

LETTERS TO THE LIVING

[faentasy]

[Please respond here with the letters that you wish to send to the living this week! A reminder that OOCly, they must be submitted by Wednesday 12:00 PM EST/9:00 AM PST in order to be sent for that week.

ICly, the letters would be dropped off near the location that Ferry, the GY NPC, has indicated for that week. This week's location is the boutique.

If your character decides to send in a letter with information that Ferry feels will put them in danger, they will either edit it or refuse to send altogether unless it is securely behind the cipher they will give to Tenn. Please give the mods a heads up if you aren't sure what would qualify under this!]

AWAKENING

[lastreward]

[ OOC: here's where the dead can awaken at their ease! Or... not so much ease, I guess. For organization's sake. ]

[ Meanwhile, Zola's at the door and Yor's with Samidare and Nageki as they come to greet their new residents at the dining room waiting for them to wake... ]

[hellochildren]

[The last time the parrot found himself in a situation like this? He was calm. Calculating. Keeping everything in control. Everything was unusual, but still perfectly manageable.

This time, however?]

SHEISSE!

[This time, Pericles is shouting before falling back first into the chair behind, him, breathing heavily as his gaze darts around rapidly at the sights before him-disgusting sunflower seed jello, the now abundance of fairies in the area, and...people. Familiar people.

Dead people.]

Is...is zis...?

[He knew the answer. He just...he needed the confirmation.]

[reallyfishy]

[The last thing Raven remembers is Yeager saying goodbye, and then darkness.

Until he awakens and the absolute swarm of cackling fairies jolts him enough to send him toppling backwards in his chair.]

Bwaaaah!!

[All right guys, get his ass while he's down.]

1/2

[lastreward]

[ Sits down next to him all casually-like. ]

Raven-san.

2/2

[lastreward]

[ She takes a minute to let him get used to her being here, then her smile darkens. ]

I hope you already know, you have a lot of questions to answer.

[libirdian]

Hello, Professor. It's probably what you think it is. Did you want to eat or drink first?

[ If he does take him up on his offer, he's carrying a basket of sunflower seed bread, that saltless bread he taught him to bake, and a jar of water. ]

Or we can talk more about what's going on.

[ Or both. Both works since there's a lot to talk about. ]

[amortristis]

[ Morgan sits back in a start, her (still fingernail-less) hand going up to her chest. It's a rude awakening, for sure, and she sort of barely even hears the fairies giggling as she looks around and –

Right. Everything that just happened is coming back to her. For once (except Raven, who definitely saw her mad last night), all of you get to see Morgan emote as she suddenly breaks down crying, leaning forward into her knees as her hands cover her face as she sobs. ]

[goldencave]

[ Whelp. Norton is gonna let everyone else welcome interrogate Raven while he goes to check on the bird. ]

Yep... You're dead.

[ Ignore the chipped tooth. Or the bluntness. ]

Sorry.

[lastreward]

[ Well that startles her when she sees her crying, so she waits patiently, sitting close by and calls her name gently. ]

Morgan-san...

[ She's sorry she can't give you that much time to grieve. ]

[laytorest]

[Yor is here, too! She is Politely Looming behind the kids with two somewhat familiar needle blades on a belt looped around her waist. Although... these ones are golden in color, not iron.

Huh!

Anyway she's just here to make sure things go smoothly so she can be chatted with after the kids unless he wants to address her in particular.]

[oversaw]

[ Seeing her like this, he almost wishes he didn't come to greet Morgan. She deserves time to her herself to grieve. Should he leave her like this...? Surely she wouldn't want someone seeing her at such a weak moment. But...

... it's hard. It's hard to walk away from someone in such obvious pain. Lucifer slowly approaches and reluctantly puts a hand on her shoulder. ]

Morgan...?

[laytorest]

[Yor is here, too! She is Politely Looming behind the kids with two somewhat familiar needle blades on a belt looped around her waist. Although... these ones are golden in color, not iron.

Huh!

Anyway go ahead and get your talk with Samidare etc. Over with, she's here to watch everything go smoothly and maybe chat once that's over.]

[hellochildren]

I...

[Nageki...the only other bird he knew, and the one he knew had blown up in an attempt to spare Lucifer's life.

It was true. Professor Pericles was dead.]

I...I sink I woult like something to eat first, please.

[eternaljune]

...yes. It is.

[Rika looks a bit sad as she stares at him, but she still smiles like greeting an old friend.]

I'd say it's good to see you, but...honestly, I was hoping you wouldn't end up here.

[laytorest]

[OH NO SHE'S CRYING Yor is immediately breaking character to fuss.]

M-Morgan, are you alright?

[Just ignore the golden needle blades at her sides that's probably fine EVERYTHING IS PROBABLY FINE.]

[libirdian]

All right, that's understandable.

[ He'll leave the basket in front of him. ]

Unless you care for...jello, I'm afraid this will have to do for now.

[ Vaguely gesturing towards all the jello that's around them, one of which is vaguely bloody still. ]

[hellochildren]

[He had never seen Norton's body before it was taken away-only left with the mental image of the man cut into three parts after trying to kill another man.

The energy the parrot had seems to deflate a bit as his expression goes to the more usual calm.]

You hat all the treasure from the cave, plus vhat I offered. So...why?

[amortristis]

[ The name gets her to pick her head up, and she straightens more when she realizes who it is. ]

Samidare...?

[ It's less of her being surprised she's here and more like. Holy shit it's been eons since she's seen you. She sniffs, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. ]

I... this is where you all have been, then?

[eternaljune]

...I know. I'm sorry.

[Rika crouches down and pats Morgan's head, trying to offer some form of comfort despite everything.]

I can at least tell you that everything isn't quite decided yet. It isn't hopeless.

[mearry]

Raven~ it’s so good to see you here!

[ :) ]

Hope you’re proud of yourself!

[reallyfishy]

S-Samidare...

[He tried to prepare for being executed but it occurs to him now that he did not at all actually prepare to see the dead in person again.

...and then she gets that Look on her face and he suddenly feels very Afraid.

He offers the weakest laugh imaginable.]

D-Do I, now...?

[eternaljune]

Raaaveeeeeen...

[Rika is a little behind Samidare, seething a little.]

I really hope you didn't waste our efforts to keep you hidden on purpose.
