GRAVEYARD - END GAME

GY FAQ

Weeks 2-5

Weeks 6-7

Friday

It's been a long stay.

Seven weeks have elapsed since the gates to Aira Niluc were opened to guests of various worlds, and for seven weeks a game of trust and betrayal have whittled the living's numbers down until only a mere third remained on that side. And in exchange, the population of the dead grew as they continued their story on this side.

But the story is coming to a close, almost as if the world itself demands it.

Because sometime Friday morning, oddities start to become apparent within the fabric of this space: buildings starting to deteriorate as their colors start to fade, foods beginning to molder and rot, trees and mountains far in the background flickering briefly show sketch-like outlines before reverting back to normal. While most of the main locations remain fairly intact, there is no area on this side that lays untouched by the sense that this place is starting to unravel, bit-by-bit.

Still, the walls that separate you all from the living hold fast even now, not allowing any of the dead to cross through into the other side.

Perhaps that's not the point here, though. After all, you all still have your own ending to write, here and now.

Oooh...so a sneaking through the barrier mission? Maybe it’ll work even though stupid Jack lost the crystal!

[Might as well take the opportunity to throw Jack under the bus.]

I wanna ask though, Ferry, how are they gonna beat the monster? Isn’t it super strong?

[faentasy]

Ugh, I shouldn't be surprised it was mostly his fault!

[Their grievances continue to pile higher???

They furrow their brows here at the question though.]

...I'm sure they'll find some way of doing it! Besides, if they can't, we're basically stuck here anyways, so...

[mearry]

Hamelin employed the most useless people as his capos, didn’t he?

[ fufufufu ]

What will you do? If we all manage get out?

[faentasy]

Hmph... I don't know if I'd call him useless, but he sure knows how to get on a fairy's nerves!

[Huff huff!!]

Me? I'd just want to go back home. I have a lot of work waiting for me, so I don't want to be stuck here anymore than I have to be!

[laytorest]

Your home...

[Tipping her head down sympathetically(?)]

Just what is it that you do in your world, Ferry? I realize even though we all want to go home, we never thought to ask you about it.

[faentasy]

Oh, me? Well, I've been travelling around to help save the world! There's a lot of terrible people trying to stop us, so I do want to get home quickly. I'm not sure how long I've been gone at this rate, though...

[mearry]

That’s what he does best, it seems.

[ chuckles again. ]

Ah, I get it. I’m guessing you feel homesick, right? How long have you been forced to work for Hamelin?

[faentasy]

[Nods! You get them, C-ta.]

Yeah, and he even has the gall to act like he doesn't even have a clue he's doing it!

[Anyways uh. Ranting aside.]

Hmm, I've been here only a bit longer than everyone else here, I think. Maybe about... two weeks before you all got here?

[eternaljune]

Mii...you think so? It could kill us instantly before...and it managed to trap you too, right? Poor, poor Ferry...you must have gotten lonely.

[Rika reaches to give Ferry a tiny headpat.]

[faentasy]

[They'll take that headpat although they might like, crouch a little bit to make sure there's no accidental squishage going on here.]

They're still better off than we are, so we'll just have to put our trust in them! After all, they at least still have their bodies, unlike everyone else here.

[eternaljune]

Unlike everyone else...I guess you’re right.

[Rika finds that interesting—-‘everyone else here’, rather than ‘you guys’.]

Hm! Your hair’s really soft and pretty, Ferry...how’d it get like that?

[faentasy]

[There's a blink at the hair question.]

Um... it's just like that? Magic can be really convenient when keeping up your appearance, though.

[heroicact]

[Since I forgot to note his outfit before, Jack is... basically breaking the black mafia combo here with this number, bright white ribbons wound through his braid and studded with what looks like small baubles in silver. Still much more stylish to carry things in his hair than across his person like ammunition rounds.

He is also wearing very unnecessary sunglasses, but that's neither here nor there.]

That's right! Clumsy old me... You know how it is when one gets on in years...!

[He really only seems a little abashed and not at all offended under these, possibly two, buses. It's fine.]

Truthfully, this is the first I've heard of fighting the void monster. I wonder if they're truly prepared... Salt and iron, perhaps?

[faentasy]

[Jack why are you so extra with those sunglasses, they're inside? What are you, Wesker?

Anyways there's a dubious look at Jack for that comment about getting on in years but no additional salt aside from that thankfully(?).]

Well, they won't get out of here unless it's gone, so unless they decide to just sit and wait, they'll have to confront them at some point.

[heroicact]

[Look, he was outside when he put them on?? He's just keeping them on inside in case they need to, I don't know, jump out the shop windows because the shop itself comes apart at the seams and turns into an eldritch abomination. You never know considering what's happening to everything in this joint.

Ferry's dubious look is met with a peaceful old man(????) smile, as always.]

Indeed. I think they have been preparing for a confrontation themselves -- what I am worried about is that I'm not sure what may have changed for them to move to a confrontation, or whether there is anything they should be doing (or that we should be doing) to better prepare ourselves.

The mirror entity remains still mysterious to us all, in many ways.

[faentasy]

[The shop has no windows so uh, step one probably needs to be aborted. At least C-ta seems to like them, though.]

Well, they may have sensed a change in this place too. It's just not as obvious as everything falling apart like it is here.

If you want to investigate them more, you're free to. But don't blame me if they see you and decide to eat you.

[Not that they look distressed by the idea of that happening to Jack but!!]

[heroicact]

[What kind of shop has no windows?? How are you supposed to window shop?????]

Is there a reason that this side is falling apart, while that side is maintaining its shape? I know that we're trying to escape this side -- but Ferry, you are the merchant for both sides, are you not? So even if we failed to find a way out by force, maybe...

[After all, desperate times call for desperate measures! That's what his expression says, both guileless and appealing. He looks for all the world like a man grasping at straws!]

Though I suppose even that may have to wait for the one in the mirrors to be weakened. Is there anything more you can tell us, if we should need to investigate?

[oversaw]

[ Lucifer is here but when he sees those glasses.

??? ?? Why can he imagine Belial wearing those...? ]

[heroicact]

[It's cursed that these are probably totally Belial glasses...... on not-Belial fashion. Does that help!! Jack notices Lucifer's confusion and gives him a friendly wave!]

[oversaw]

[ belial no

Anyway, he waves back!! Hello Jack, what are you up to during this fine endgame where everything is falling apart?? ]

[heroicact]

[He's totally not here being as lowkey as possible by looking pretty while everyone else interrogates Ferry. Totally not!!!! Join him, Lucifer. We both need to be under the radar today(?).]

[mearry]

[ he’ll never tell anyone but he wants those glasses ]

[heroicact]

[C-ta............ also I only just realized they have the same color eyes this is so cursed.]

[mearry]

[ green eyes monsters anyone? /shot ]

I guess we all dressed up for the occasion.

[heroicact]

[He's normally not much of a green-eyed monster; in fact, C-ta can have the majority of that distinction. Still.]

Well, it just seemed the done thing? Though I see I've run rather off-theme...

[He doesn't seem to be put off, though. He's always stuck out in the graveyard like a sore, sore thumb, and hasn't been at particular pains to change it. That's not the important thing, anymore.]
