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.

[Sour look.]

I did genuinely want your help with the crystals, I'll have you know. And as long as the living manage to weaken her enough, it's still better to have all of you here as back up instead of being eaten by her.

[lastreward]

I'm sure that's why you were so eager to get your hands on them.

[ ... ]

You know, even Hamelin apparently things you're oh so devious. Not that I trust his judgment whatsoever, but how about you prove it to us in some way that you're not going to stab us in the back and maybe we can make a miracle happen?

[faentasy]

You expect me to prove it? How?

[lastreward]

That's on you, isn't it? We've been risking our necks out on your information after all, the least you can do is prove that you are what you say you are.

[faentasy]

Ugh, what do you expect me to do? Fly out there and drag her out or something? What you're asking is basically impossible, you know!

[lastreward]

Well there's some questionable things I'm sure you can clear up. Like your appearance, supposedly?

[faentasy]

My... appearance?

[There's a few blinks here before they smile back sweetly.]

Oh, well if that's all it is, then I don't mind at all! But are you sure you won't regret asking?

[lastreward]

I did ask first. [ rests her head on her hands. ] Go on then.

[faentasy]

Okay! [They make a bashful expression.] But you know, I don't really like showing people this, so do you mind if I change in the back room instead? I'll come right out after.

[lastreward]

... well that's suspicious sounding as hell, but sure...?

1/2

[faentasy]

Thank you!

[They just grin back at Samidare and flit over to the back door that's been left ajar, slipping easily between the small crack there. There's silence for about a minute, and then--]

2/2

[faekery]

[The door itself flies forward off its hinges as some monstrous... thing slams its way through the doorframe, leaving splintered wood in its wake as it plows forward. There's not much time to react considering there's a door literally flying into whoever's unlucky enough to be standing in its trajectory, but when the metaphorical dust settles, what they'll see is this: a giant, caterpillar-like creature with about ten arms and spikes jutting out of it. The butterfly wings protruding from its back are like a parody of fairies' wings, oddly delicate in comparison to the rest of its appearance. And with its face stretched in a parody of a grin, a deep, distorted voice rings out, sounding nothing like Ferry.]

Well, are you satisfied now? Because I do hope you enjoy this sight, considering it'll be the last one you'll see.

[laytorest]

[Yor immediately reacts, going to grab Samidare and throw an iron knife blade at Ferry's head before she begins to sprint, intent on getting Samidare out of there.]

RUN!

[goldencave]

[ Uh. Shit. Running sounds like a good idea. ]

[mathodical]

[ ABSOLUTELY USHERING ANYBODY WHO'S UNARMED OUT OF THE STORE ESPECIALLY ANY OF THE KIDS

he also has one hand on his sword JUST IN CASE OF ANYTHING ]

[lastreward]

Ehh? [ Being carried suddenly?? She wanted to fight though. ]

[heroicact]

There’s a horse outside, take the ones who can’t fight and go!

[Says Jack, who really could use that horse about now, but honestly the horse would probably just become. Uh. Spider chow?? Something?? He looks a little frazzled, but hardly surprised; his sword is in his hand at the moment.

Those who get out to the horse will also find a whole-ass scythe lashed to it, in case you need like, a horseback weapon.

Once most people are out of immediate range, he’ll light and toss a salmiakki fish in Ferry’s(???) face, before gunning for the door, pulling down racks of merchandise as he goes to slow her advance.]

[libirdian]

[ He's so tired of all this betrayal. Part of him just wants to stop now, but at the very least he wants to get everybirdie else out. So instead he'll take out one of his explosives. ]

I did want to believe in you, Ferry...

[ Despite everything, he refuses to drag the others down with him. Once no one else is in range, he'll set off the bombs after the salmiakki fish in hopes of at least slowing them down a little. He never learned more about explosives to fight anyway. ]

[eternaljune]

[Rika grimaces, a bit stunned at the strange transformation. She hates bugs.]

Ghh—if you’re gonna kill me, at least tell me what for—-was your plan to kill B and take the souls for yourself?

[warmthbringer]

[ WHAT THE FUCK ]

Wh-- what?!

[purefuries]

[ Even Junko looks shocked this time because that...sure came out of nowhere. ]

Goodness, the fairies of this realm are so duplicitous.

[ All the Gensokyo fairies do is play pranks and sometimes steal food?? And in Clownpiece's case, starts fires, um. ]

[mathodical]

... Then why did you not let the living know that the barrier was weakening?

[ thanks to the rifts, he absolutely saw the censored note, ok ]

I even hid it under a code, and it was in written form so it wasn't like Tenn would have told just anyone.

[ it's not accusatory, if it helps. just curious. ]

[faentasy]

Because if she saw that, then she'd get angry at me for letting it through! No one's supposed to figure out how this place works.

[mathodical]

... How much can she see and influence, anyway? I was under the impression that if she was more powerful we would all be... eaten, by now.

[faentasy]

Mmm. I know she's hungry, so that keeps her from being able to see and control everything. She really didn't want anyone finding out about her though.
