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.

Then I think our priority is weakening the monster and finding out what may be used against her, as well as her potential plans -- we know she wants to kill B (the Beldam, was it?), but is that why she wanted to try to break through to the other side?

Hmmm.

Also, our key locations currently appear to be the palace, where Ferry is stationed; the rifts at the gelateria; and the ice maze. These are three separate areas, but I do not want to spread our forces too thin -- and we also want to think about protecting the crystal.

I would suggest focusing upon defending the crystal and dealing with the palace, and worry about the rifts and the ice maze once we have a better grasp on how to do those first two things.

If we want to whittle her down, then we're either going to have to go fight her or do something big enough to cause her damage. If she's at the palace, then there has to be a reason for it.

[ therefore-- ]

We either need to destroy it or taunt her in order to get her out of there.

Let us see the state of the palace first, and whether she's prepared any kind of welcome for us there -- it is a strange location to choose as a home base, though I know that the execution chamber itself is there, and there may be other important reasons to lure us there.

We will need more information before we move elsewhere.

That's true. I'll help set up bombs just in case, but we'll all have to make a quick escape if it comes to that.
