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.

"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

If it really comes down to it, you may at least be able to escape in an emergency. At the moment we don't know how mobile or how fast Airy is -- any advantage may be of use.

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

I'll admit, I am also not especially used to fighting on horseback, but if we must flee or move between different areas, it may be a reliable way of getting reinforcements or passing messages as needed.

[ a nod ]

In any case, if you require my services in combat, I am able to provide. Though, I am without a weapon at the moment.

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. ]
