GY ENDGAME POST
GRAVEYARD - END GAME
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.

Well, since we're sort of stuck in the meantime... could you tell me a little about your friends at least?
no subject
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.

That sounds tough. Iβm sorry to hear that.

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.

Were... were they overpowered? How many were you all together...?
[Maybe they needed more allies?]
no subject
There was only a few of us, so I guess it makes sense but...
[They shake their head.]
Anyway, that's why it's good there's more of us to help. Even if you're all separated, I'm sure the living will be able to pull through, and we can support them from here too!

I had another question... Did you ever manage to find that photo of mine?
no subject
I'm sorry. I know you wanted it back, but I don't know where it ended up. I couldn't really ask around much, either.
