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.

That's right. She has a way of saying things, where she says everything you want to hear. That's how she lured me in.

You know, now that I think of it, I'm starting to wonder if that's how she got all of us in here. Not that I remember anything between getting a weird letter for something else and waking up at a dining table with a mouth full of food, but if some lady told me she could solve all my problems with a magic wand I'd trust her too.
[ He doesn't mention the letter was an invitation to a game. He doesn't mention the prize was a huge check with his name on it. Even if the guy who sent it was a normal human, the game doesn't seem as exciting after going through all this bs. ]
