GRAVEYARD - END GAME

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.

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. ]

[goldencave]

Use them for our bodies, for now.

[libirdian]

Okay, good luck with that.

[goldencave]

... You got any better ideas? We still don't have our original bodies, ya know.

[lastreward]

Do what you feel like. [ Just like they've talked about before. ]

[libirdian]

[ Nods. ] As long as my letters make it home, I've made my peace with whatever happens. Good luck, Miss Asahina.

[lastreward]

[ She'd say she'd always remember him, but... it's precisely what she's trying to avoid. ]

I'm glad to have met you, kindred spirit.

[mearry]

[ pointing to the gigai ]

What the hell is that?

[heroicact]

Hmm? I remember seeing it outside Hamelin's office, but I had no idea what it was... so I just gave it a little decoration and left it.

Perhaps it was to scare off Ferry?

[Ferry doesn't deserve the meatsuit like this.]

[mearry]

I hope she had a bad time having to give that to someone.

[ but he'll check at the other dolls... are they all where they left them last time? ]

[faentasy]

[Yep! Well, mostly anyways. The Raven doll has been fixed, which will probably save everyone's sanity in the long run.]

[libirdian]

A skinned human?

[ not really helping here ]

[mearry]

No.

[ HE DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO THINK ABOUT THIS. ]

[libirdian]

[ fine have a more serious answer ]

...One of those anatomy models? Not that I've ever seen one before.

[goldencave]

Uh... [ Squints... ]

I think Suga got that thing from the shop. Ask him.

[mearry]

[ also to norton: ]

No.

[goldencave]

What do you mean, "no?" I saw him trying to get rid of it before I kicked the bucket!

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga wasn't here to see what C-ta did last time to get his hand in one of these, so he's just going to... awkwardly attempt to shimmy into the Suga Doll? Please let this work and not just look dumb.]

[oversaw]

[ Ah. They're almost at the end, though he's not entirely sure what kind of end it'll be. First thing's first, though. He reaches down to help Jack off the floor! ]

I hope you were able to recover some of your strength.

[heroicact]

[He's sat up but is yawning and just sort of very sleepy -- it takes Lucifer standing over him to snap him a bit more awake, and he smiles and takes the hand.]

Well enough! I think truthfully I could sleep for 5 more days, but it doesn't seem the time for that.

[He seems genuine about this!! Why are you such a lazy Jack, Jack.]

It seems it's time to go.

[faentasy]

[At some point while everyone was examining and getting bundled up in their respective doll (and meatsuit?), a small shining portal slowly forms in one of the far walls. It smells of a warm breeze that's feels more real than anything you've felt since you've arrived in this land of fairytales and fantasy. And perhaps the sight might even feel a little familiar to Morgan and Raven.

But now, there's no longer that foreboding feeling and the sense that you'll drift away if you pass through it. As long as you're in some kind of physical body, you'll be alright.

It's be a long road and a series of hard fought battles, but finally, there's something here that just feels welcoming and genuinely warm. A gentle melody accompanies the appearance of the portal.

Congrats. Looks like you have your way out.]

[gemuinemanagement]

[After he and C-ta are both in their dolls, he'll take C-ta by the hand to lead him through the portal.

Things are going to be okay.]
