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.

[ She repeats what she said about all this ferry stuff before. ] It's so annoying.

[libirdian]

Very. I'm... [ He pauses there. Not the time. ] Between all of us, we can slow her down until she stops. We just need to put our plans together once we come up with them.

[ Which is hopefully soon with how much time they have left. ]

Is there anything else you observed about Ferry that could help her? Since...

[ ...you're one of the people who have been here the longest. ]

[lastreward]

[ She shakes her head. ]

It's hard to know what have been lies.

[libirdian]

You have a point...

[ ... ]

We're still not sure if she's okay with water and ice, but it's still something go on. Have you ever fought something like that before?

[lastreward]

No, the golems we fight are... well, mostly earth. But two of our number tend towards using their domains with fire and ice, so they're working on techniques how to use it in that way.

[libirdian]

I see, then I guess we have to focus on what she could've done...

[ Thinking of everything he tried to investigate until he hits on...one of the few things he successfully found. ]

Miss Asashina, do you remember the strange pile ash with a clean circle at the clock tower? I was thinking it was connected to the store. If it really is...

[ He trails off here. It's still a bit of a stretch. ]

If it is not the mirror monster or another party, then maybe Ferry was responsible for that?

[lastreward]

That's possible..... then the ash... could've been a show of her powers? Fire?

[libirdian]

Possibly... It's a hard call to make with just that though. Was there any other place with strange ash piles somewhere?

[mearry]

[ don't mind him eavesdropping the fuck out of your conversation. ]

The cellar.

[libirdian]

The cellar...? [ Give him a moment to rack his brain. ] Wait, from where you and some of the others entered the shop?

[mearry]

Mm. I thought it was like...dust? but it had kind of like...little footsteps, I guess. But if you guys saw that then it's probably the same thing.

[libirdian]

Considering how strange it is for piles of ash to show up out of nowhere somewhere downwards... I think it's safe to guess Ferry was involved in some way.

[ The ice lake might be more useful than ever before now... ]

While it surely isn't the only thing they have up their sleeve, we can try preparing for fire? At least this area has a lot of water to use.

[mearry]

Has anyone tried melting the maze with fire?

[libirdian]

Not that I know of... But the ice was rather thick.

[mathodical]

[ he is not a jrpg character but. ]

... Fire?

I suppose that would explain her aversion to the cold... or to water?

[lastreward]

It's worth trying out.

[ When in doubt, science! ]

I do have plenty of water ammo. And if the plan is to lead her to this snow area... all the more to make it colder.
