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.

Very well, then. We will send you off once we've confirmed the monster's location -- we may need to periodically communicate to ensure you don't run straight into her maws, but if evasion is your strong suit, then I hope we'll be able to leave some of that to you.

[foxetious]

Do we have a better way ta communicate that's not sendin' messengers back and forth? They could be easily intercepted, if that thing has underlings.

I prefer ta fight smart-- hit 'n run tactics work best for that, so evasion is included. [A pause to mull over whether he was sharing and, well] If I had shinsou in its complete form, we probably wouldn't need much else, but that's been true for a lot of these weeks.

[purefuries]

It does seem as though we are both quick on our feet and favor evasion tactics. That is at least good for such a plan.

[foxetious]

It'll be a pleasure workin' with ya then.

[heroicact]

I think a great number of us normally have skills that would completely eliminate the need for these sorts of tactics...

[Jack just shakes his head and laughs -- it's a little wry.]

Any signals I can think of would give away our positions or simply be difficult to hide from the creature... Hopefully, so long as we prepare in advance, there should be minimal need for a large number of messengers.

[foxetious]

A shame, I would have appreciated bein' able ta see what ya could do.

[Gin has a rueful smile himself, so it's all in good company]

Unfortunate. For how many bugs are in this place, I could see Hell Butterflies making a good communication method. We'll just have ta rely on luck then.

[heroicact]

And likewise! Perhaps we can at least show our stuff a little in the coming battle, even if it is a far cry from the usual standard.

[This is definitely quite possibly the weirdest group he's been in combat with and that's saying something!]

Hell Butterflies... I shall have to ask about those later.

[When they're not dealing with a Hell Caterpillar. Hopefully she isn't one of the JRPG final bosses that evolve and have an actual Butterfly form.....]

[foxetious]

Hell Butterflies are much better than whatever this is. It's useful, for one.
