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.

Is she weak to the cold? She looked like she was shivering before in the ice maze but I don't know if that was an act or not

She also seems to dislike water, if our excursion to the peach museum was any indication.

So maybe the ice maze or the lake? If we could get her to chase her into those hallways do you think we could light her on fire

... So we lead her to the ice skating thing and let her fat body smash through the ground? Because that's the first thing that came to mind.

...How much of the last puzzle is actually a clue for all this?

... Death by conflagration. What was the clue for the other side?

"Then seek comfort in pitch dark."

It may be worth trying both routes, though I don't know how much leeway we will have to test our theories. It may be in our best interest to split into at least two or three groups and lure her as best we can.

I'm good at running I made it all the way through the dark hall without much of a problem

[He was seriously injured but it's fine.]

[ sharp look ]

I don't think it would be a good idea to outrun her on foot.

[ ALSO YOU ALMOST DIED AND HE HAD TO MERCY KILL YOU BUT HE'S NOT SAYING THAT IN FRONT OF C-TA ]

Well There's the horses How many of us can ride those?

Jack and I both can. Who else?

I'll admit, I hadn't thought of who else might be able to ride, though I'm aware of those who cannot.

[Suga can like. Probably ride a horse but maybe not gallop around on one?? Jack gives him a questioning look.]

I can stay on one But you did all the directing the horses last time

I am able to ride horses, though I admit I may be more reliable on foot.

I've driven a small cart before, does that count?

[ You know what this place needs? Mining carts. Those suckers could go pretty fast, and Norton knows how to use those. ]

I've... never had to.

[But she was pretty fast on foot if that helps??]

We could make a bunch of water balloons!

[ Riku is fired up, because this is personal. She used Tenn-nii, after all--not to mention jerking his friends around. ]

We don't have actual balloons, but there are plastic bags from the goldfish scooping game at Onigashima.

Yeah! When in doubt, use what we can, right? I can't fight as well as we probably need, so... I'll get a bunch of those together.

I'm in a similar boat, so I can help with that... It's just too bad our salt hoard won't work with this plan.

Mm! I'm counting on you, Nageki--let's make as many as possible and show Ferry-san she shouldn't mess with us!

Right, it doesn't change what we set out to do: to leave with everybirdie here. Let's do our best.

[ Ah, actually, considering where they are right now... ]

...I just had a strange thought. Mister Nanase, how do you feel about making snowballs?

Edited 2021-07-17 16:52 (UTC)

Ah...!!

[ His eyes light up, which is strange, considering the situation. ]

Aha, to be honest... I never got to play in the snow as a kid because of my asthma. So, I'm definitely in! Let's make my first snowball fight one to remember!

I think we can do that and more. I've only been in a snowball fight once, but Miss Furude showed me how to make better snowballs. We can set up our ammo here and there to use whenever Ferry shows up.
