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.

[lastreward]

... Let's hope she's not meeting up with her.

[purefuries]

If the two of them are, what plan shall we improvise?

[lastreward]

Turn them on each other so we only have to deal with one?

[heroicact]

Truthfully, if we walk into both abominations right now, I am of a mind to turn around and leave posthaste.

[Jack aren't you supposed to actually be being useful. He is actually somewhere behind Yor and Gin now that he's heard about the void. The stabby people can go first!! Thanks!!!!]

Will explosives do anything in the void.......

[foxetious]

[Gin is more than tall enough to hide you Jack it's fine. Kinda. He was expecting at least a bit more spine.]

Can our old friend even leave that room? It doesn't travel freely like the monster we came here for.

[laytorest]

I wonder if wanting B dead was a lie after all in that case.

[But she's still prepared and perfectly fine with leading, get behind her ye squishy ones.]

[lastreward]

Why don't we ask~?

[faekery]

[As they chat, they'll notice that the view from the top of the stairs seems more or less the same as usual--blank white walls make up all sides of the hallway with the sole exception to this being the jet-black door that lies at the end of it. If there is anything that seems kind of unusual, it's that the door is left slightly ajar with the trail of sparkles seeming to lead into the void room.]

[heroicact]

[The fact that he is here is about as much spine as you can expect of a mostly powerless human(?), because there is spine and then there is stupidity, and therefore he is not taking the stupid route of attempting close combat first off when he has BOMBS.

Speaking of bombs, Jack will reach back and detach one from his braid, holding up one of the cherry bombs.]

It seems rather foolhardy to simply walk up to the door.

Shall we knock?

[purefuries]

[ shrugs ]

I don't see why not.

[laytorest]

Are you worried it could be a trap?

I could throw the bomb for us if you'd like.

[And we all know she's got very strong, very precise throws, thanks C-ta.]

[lastreward]

Knock very loudly so they hear you~

[foxetious]

After you, Yor-chan.

[heroicact]

Well, the last time we met, she did attempt to eat Samidare here -- so I propose that we dispose of the door first.

[He'll just hand Yor the bomb?? This is fine??]

[laytorest]

Okay. Let's move back first, though.

[And once they're all at a safe distance, it's time to THROW SOME EXPLOSIVES AT THE DOOR]

[faekery]

[The cherry bomb goes sailing into the door, detonating and throwing a number of shrapnel bits around and searing juice, leaving the floor stained with red as the blast rocks the door and basically slams it shut. It's not enough to take the door off its hinges, although it looks more... glitchy than before where the blast impacted it the most, with clumps of black matter just littering the floor like fragments of nothingness as the door remains on its hinges albeit with what looks like some chunks taken out of it.

It's still hard to see what's beyond the door considering the damage was still comparatively minor, but nothing else seems to have happened...?]

[foxetious]

[Not much bang for our buck there, huh? Well... Time to properly arm himself with his sword!!]

Stay here, and be ready. I'm going ta open it, then move outta the way.

[heroicact]

[Laughing a little sheepishly.]

Well, I suppose the void won that round?

[It was the fucking door, Jack. He gives a friendly wave and... prepares another bomb! Though he also takes out a salmiakki fish, so his first tactic actually isn't blowing everyone else sky-high, at least.]

[purefuries]

[ .........that was really anticlimactic.

She's just going to live up to all the stupid shit she's done so far, and open the fucking door herself, sword in hand. ]

[faekery]

[Well, the door opens up just fine even if some more dark chunks come off it when it moves. And beyond that--

It's the void. Just the void, since the trail of sparkles seems to end right there. It's probably anticlimactic if not for the ominous feeling it automatically imparts, as anyone looking into it will instinctively understand that they do not want to step in there.

But also while we're here, a question:

Was anyone looking up? Or more accurately, did anyone look right above the entrance of the stairwell everyone had been holed up in?]

[heroicact]

[Well, they would have had to check the clearance of everything in order to lob the bomb, and we are doing our best to look out for absolutely any twitch of movement, so:

If there is something on the fucking ceiling--

1. He hates climbing caterpillars he should have remembered the tower thanks he hates this and his sword is out at the same time as;
2. He hands a salmiakki fish to whoever wants to give them cover whenever and wherever they can get it and;
3. He reaches inside his coat for an ice orb because the ceiling to a stairwell is not a great place to find a gigantic bug THANKS

IF THEY CAN ICE AIRY TO THE CEILING OR AT LEAST SLOW HER DOWN MAYBE THEY CAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS JOINT????]

[lastreward]

[ Oh opps, they should've checked all directions. Well after Jack throws the ice orb, she'll aim a snowball to Ferry's face and then maybe a water... sack at her general body? then throw herself down the stairs, rolling to lessen the impact. ]

[purefuries]

[ Well, she certainly let her impatience get the better of her. Oopsie! Junko will duck and cover and. Try to start jetting down the stairs. It's probably a little hard since she's the one closest to the void, she opened the door itself. If she can't get close she will be stabbing any caterpillar body parts that get too near her. ]

[heroicact]

[Just rolling this in to say I forgot to note that he will also be fucking throwing himself down the stairs if there is a possibility of doing so!! Also since he's a musician please imagine him saying the incantation as fast as a car salesman, because this is fine.]

[foxetious]

[Gin had also been close to the void door, and foolishly thought the others were safer back in the stairwell. He has Several moments of staring into the void room for danger before he hears the scuffling and screams and books it for the stairwell. He makes sure all the others have managed to go before him, and he’s going to try and watch the ceilings as he jumps down the staircases in case something lunges after them.]
