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.

THE RIFT, AND...

[faentasy]

[The world starts to crumble behind them as the palace practically disappears entirely from their sight, if anyone was of a mind to look behind them. While the encroaching void is not nearly as swift in stretching out its talons out into the rest of the residential area, it is readily apparent that it is gradually eating away at the world.

They'll have enough time to reach the rift though, thankfully. They'll also be able to traverse through and catch a glimpse of what the living are dealing with right now too, using the windows.

And since the emptiness that destroyed the palace doesn't seem to have reached this place and Ferry doesn't seem to have come in pursuit... well, it looks like you're all safe for the moment.]

[gemuinemanagement]

That looks not good

[...can anyone even read his notes in here, it's hella dark.]

[mearry]

They got it covered.

[ hopefully.

anyways he's laying down on the floor. ]

I'd like powers...

[mearry]

[ okay. okay. they're here again.

what happens if you try to stab one of the rift? does it still bounce back? ]

[faentasy]

[Sure does. Looks like they can just watch for now.]

[heroicact]

[These poor horses have been through so much and now they're being shuffled into the rift. On the other hand! They are still not void food and therefore nobody can criticize their riders (citation needed).

Jack is just going to dismount and then... flop on the ground, literally, letting out a great big sigh. Not a bad vantage point to see all the windows from, either.]

Ah. Is that the Beldam they were speaking of? Almost as ugly as expected...

[mathodical]

[ going to corral the horses somewhere and make sure that the horses aren't spooked before he, too, collapses on the floor, because boss fights??? he's at least 60% stamina drained and was pretty much going off on adrenaline. ]

I'm almost relieved we don't have to deal with the Beldam.

[ go for it living u got this ]

[mearry]

For real...why is everything here so hideous behind it's mask?

[oversaw]

[ Dismounting after! Unfortunately, he doesn't have a pillow or blanket to give Jack so he gently pats him on the head instead.

There, there. You did good, Jack! ]

[goldencave]

[ Yeah... The world is falling apart at the seams. This is fine...

He's gonna... Stare blankly at the chaos now. ]

[eternaljune]

Whew...

[Rika sighs in relief at no longer having to run. Still, the outside could be looking better.]

Looks like the entire world is coming down there...

[libirdian]

[ Nageki's flopped down nearby, but he does try his best to sound okay and totally not completely exhausted. ]

I wonder how long they've been at it? It feels like our...excursion lasted a lifetime.

[laytorest]

[Looking at the battle with concern, but also sticking towards the rear of the group. It looks like they have a respite for now but given everything the gy experience is, she is still on guard.]

[mearry]

[ just staring up at yor from the floor. ]

Do you think it's over now?

[lastreward]

[ Well. She won't be off her guard but she's tired after all that excitement. Adrenaline still probably going high though, so she just, slumps against a wall or something. ]

[heroicact]

Ah, Samidare. I must thank you for all your quick thinking and action in the chaos... as always.

[Why do they always end up grouped up these days!! How did he end up in combat group and conflagration group all the time.


Cindierella redux somehow......]

[libirdian]

[ Flopping over at the closest approximation of a corner in this place, because even now he feels the need to avoid getting underfoot. He'll try his best to look at the rifts from where he is, but honestly, he's exhausted. Concentrating really hard is tough for him right now. ]

My head feels like it's swimming...

[amortristis]

Are you all right?

[ She's worried, fam. Head swimming is generally not a good thing! ]

[heroicact]

I imagine that's the adrenaline dying down, at the very least. Though, I don't know how it works for birds...

It may be a good idea to take as much rest as we can before we prepare for the next step.

[Uh, whatever that is? Whatever that is.]

[amortristis]

[ It's weird, watching this partly through the rift after all they just went through. It seems like the living are in the middle of their own fight. Morgan sort of hangs back, in case something comes through the rift and they need forewarning. ]

A PROGRESSION

[faentasy]

[As the battle on the other side progresses and things crumble over there as well, they'll find that the rifts seem be darkening in places, slowly cutting off access to the path they used to get here to begin with. And indeed, a couple of the windows begin to wink out too as the view suddenly becomes that of the void instead. As this decay continues, it seems like there's only one place that's being spared right now, and it's the workshop where all the dolls were. In addition, they'll find the... fucking gigai laid out on one of the tables too, you're welcome??]

Re: A PROGRESSION

[laytorest]

[And that's their cue. Still standing, she begins helping everyone (except Jack) off the floor.]

It's time to go.

[goldencave]

Crap...

[ Guess he's gonna see if he can go to that Workshop... ]

[libirdian]

...So have we decided what to do with these dolls?

[ Frankly, Nageki still finds this unsettling, even considering what he really is. Personally, he doesn't even need a body, so he'll look to the others and see what they decide. ]

[mearry]

[ pointing to the gigai ]

What the hell is that?
