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.

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...

[gemuinemanagement]

What is your world like?

[Once again, C-ta's on reading-notes-duty.]

[faentasy]

Well, it's kind of like this one I guess. I didn't really think about it before, but most of this stuff is the same, although I still don't know what a "gumball machine" is.

[laytorest]

Save the world-?! W-wait, just what kind of world do you come from?!

[faentasy]

A really dangerous one! But that's why I'm trying to save it so nothing bad happens and everyone can live in peace!

[Their shoulders drop a little though.]

I don't know how I'm going to manage that now if I'm trapped here though, so that's why I'll take the risk of being caught over not being able to get home. That's why I want everyone's support here, because I can't do everything alone!

[laytorest]

[Also reaching out with like... a single finger to pat Ferry on the head.]

Well, since we're sort of stuck in the meantime... could you tell me a little about your friends at least?

[faentasy]

[Headpat accepted! Although they seem to droop even more at the question.]

Oh, um... I guess. To be honest though, I-I'm not sure if they're alive right now. The last thing I remember seeing before I ended up here was a giant monster attacking them and their bodies on the ground... I can't fight either, so I could only watch as they were struck down.

[mearry]

That…

[ … ]

That sounds tough. I’m sorry to hear that.

[faentasy]

[There's a small nod here.]

Thank you. But that's why I know it's hard for you guys too, which is why I want everyone here to be able to get out of here safely.

[laytorest]

[Oh no...]

Were... were they overpowered? How many were you all together...?

[Maybe they needed more allies?]

[amortristis]

[ there's an implied HOLD IT! here somewhere ]

... Did you not say that all of the fairies were from Aira Niluc when we first arrived here?

[ unless it was a different fairy in which case im so sorry im being pulled in 80 different places rn ]

[faentasy]

...Huh? [A couple blinks, and then--]

O-oh, that? Umm... that was a lie, actually! I couldn't say the truth since it would be bad if that got back to Hamelin.

[amortristis]

[ hm. sus! ]

Why would it have been a bad thing?

[faentasy]

Because then he'd know I'm not playing my role, and then I'd be 'relieved' as shopkeeper.

[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?

[mearry]

Eh? I swore you said something about being here for multiple games or something?

[faentasy]

...Huh? I don't think I said anything like that... I didn't want them to make any more games after this one, though!

[mearry]

I must’ve heard wrong then. My bad.

[ he sighs. ]

What even is the purpose of having this store, though? Not to belittle you, or anything! Just…curious, I guess.

[faentasy]

Oh, that? They thought it would be useful for the game if people could get weapons. Because... well, you know.

[gemuinemanagement]

But why the salt and magnifying glasses?

[mearry]

Mm, yeah.

[ the murder stuff. ]

How did you even handle the iron stuff, though. I mean… being a fairy and stuff. That’s cruel, isn’t it? Making you handle something dangerous to you.
