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.

[ 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! ]

[Something about the headpat makes him laugh quietly, muffled into his collar, but he doesn't seem to mind it.]

Hmm, napping here seems like a bad idea...

I suppose all we can do is watch over the living for now? Though, they seem to have received some type of boon...

[They probably still can't hear the music here, but everything else including all the powers is totally visible... man.]

[ A strange reaction, but he finds most reactions strange anyway. As long as Jack doesn't mind the pat, he doesn't mind the laugh! ]

Is it? If you need to recover your strength, we can always wake you later. [ He has done a lot of riding over the past however long. He deserves a rest! ]

Unless we can find a way to cross over, I suppose so. They seem to be doing well, at least. [ He's happy to see it but, like, no surprise there. ]

[As always, the life (and death) of odd birds evens itself out.]

Oh, I plan to sleep for a long, long while once everything is done; but 'everything' is always so much more than one might expect. And it seems ill-omened to sleep while the fight is still ongoing?

[There's something rueful under the word 'everything' but isn't there always when it comes to situations like this? They may be removed from this fight but it's still very much a thing. He stretches a little.]

Though, I can't say I expected the Beldam to be even uglier than Ferry!
