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.

[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!!]

[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?

[You don't because the point is to come in and look at things!! The real marketing strategy here (also it's not like the goods have really changed in here since the start, lbr).

Also there's a squint at this suggestion.]

...Are you asking if I can ship all of you over like letters?

[Just give them a bit of clarification there.]

It's not like I know everything about it either... if I knew, I would have mentioned it already. But since it made this world, maybe it's really focused on the other side so they just let this place rot?

[heroicact]

Well, so far as I know, souls can be hosted in just about anything… Though really, I’d prefer something much more sturdy than a letter.

I’m merely curious what our options are, in the end.

[Clarification acquired! Maybe???]

Odd, really, because as I understand it — we are supposed to be its food, are we not? I would expect it to focus far more on using us to gain more power, if the other side is posing a threat.

Though, I may be looking a gift horse in the mouth!
