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.

. . .

No, but that doesn't explain everything. How did you even come up with the plan to use those crystals to power yourself up in the first place?

[faentasy]

Because I could sense that they had magic in them. I didn't know exactly where they were, but I could still detect them, you know!

[goldencave]

. . . Right...

[ He sounds... More cautious than anything. Like he might be coming around a bit, but still very, very wary... ]

[faentasy]

[Well, it's like. Better?? Than some of the other responses, so. They'll pout in his general direction but at least they're not like, actively angry here.]

What, do you not believe me?

[goldencave]

[ He crosses his arms, hesitantly. ]

A few of us don't, but...

[ ... Sigh. ]

I'll be honest with you. All this hiding and pointing fingers we've been doing isn't helping people's confidence. I get you don't want to get eaten or worse, but neither do we...

[libirdian]

I believe you, Ferry. And I still want to.

[ He wants to believe they can be on the same side once they lay out more cards on the table. ]

Can you still sense the magic now? Even though we failed?

[faentasy]

Yeah, I can still sense it somewhere around here. The magic is still in the crystal, so it's not like it's gone even though you left it there.

[libirdian]

If we can get that magic to you, what other options would we have besides waiting for the living to make their move?

[faentasy]

Well, we could find a weak point and break through on our end! It might take a bit of searching for the right seam, but with the barrier weakened some we still have a better chance.

[mathodical]

... Are the rifts not considered weak points? Is there a reason why we can't break through those?

[amortristis]

They seemed to almost be actively resisting any attempts to open it with a weapon.

[ She watched Yor stab it a few times, it was fun(?) ]

[mathodical]

... Possibly because it isn't affected by anything that isn't magical in nature?

[ musing out loud, really. ]

It would make sense that magic only damages its own kind.......

[libirdian]

I see, that would add a lot of different ways we could interfere... Are there no weak points we could use now though? Everything seems to be...unraveling as we speak.
