Welcome to Deda
So, you're dead. Sucks!
Except you might not feel dead—after what feels like a long brush with dreamless sleep, you wake up in a quaint hole: a coffin in an uncovered grave, blanketed in fog. Entombed with you are any personal items (unless they're trial evidence, sorry), and a strange feeling of... lightness? Whatever corruption was in your blood seems to have cleared away with your death, and your injuries are healed, besides any cool scars and lingering aches.
Once you make your way out, a quiet, verdant graveyard (literal) awaits you. You could take a look around the various locations, but the same fog that greeted you surrounds this place, keeping you from venturing too far outside of the town limits.
Still, you may as well get yourself situated. You're not done yet.

Welcome to the graveyard! Here's a quick primer:
You are dead. However, characters are healed of their critical injuries; they may keep any scars or lingering pains that you like. Additionally, they are no longer corrupted. The monstrous force inside you has subsided; this means characters will no longer have powers, etc.
● Setting ● The graveyard has the overall look and feel of a small New England town from the '90s; characters can travel any of the Graveyard Locations, fenced in by fog and forests. But the fog makes this place otherworldly, and strangely permeable. Maybe you can influence your surroundings?
● Living Watch ● Where there are screens, you can view the living side. This includes televisions at the bar, Heaven's Night, and in the apartment lobby—you may even spot a passing glimpse of them in a mirror or glass of water. Only public gatherings like mingles, trial, etc, can be seen and heard this way.
● Items ● Personal inventory transfers over to the graveyard, including items that may be stolen during trial. The only items that stay on the living side are ones that are voluntarily given away. Thursday victims will receive their items in their rooms on Sunday, after Execution. Those who arrive any other day will have their items in their grave with them.
● Injuries and Death ● Characters can still be injured and die here. While characters do not stay dead, please let the mods know if it does happen, so we can inform you of how it works.
● Audiences ● You can audience Death in person, but none of the other NPCs are currently available. You can ignore the note section and go to the apartment penthouse directly to visit, or meet him wherever.
● Effects and Events ● Weekly effects still hit the graveyard, and you may use items on the living unless otherwise noted. Mini-events will go up at the same time as their living counterparts. CYOAs are still available for our sweet deda.
● OOC Notes ● Alluding to the fact that the graveyard exists OOCly is okay, but please keep details of what it looks like, what happens here, plot, et cetera, to yourselves. Feel free to ask the mods if you're not sure about anything!

At this rate, I don't think we'll be alone.
[ Boothill's horrible transformation is strange to watch from a screen, with familiar faces there. He looks at Aventurine after they hear the metallic slither of tentacles. ]
...Hey. Once time is up, they should be safe.
no subject
... I hope he does show up here.
[ THREAT. ]
Let me borrow your tire iron when he does.
no subject
Aventurine has been radiating distress for a while, but he saves his reaction for after it's over, blinking over at him. ]
Going for revenge right away? [ This is a genuine question, not a judgmental one. ]
no subject
[ Thinks about this for a moment. ]
... I'll just beat him over the head a few times.
no subject
[ Is that going easy on him? Could be. ]
Or maybe you're just generous.
no subject
[ ARE YOU.... BATMAN CODED NEHAN... ]
no subject
Would I? Who can say... I just know that where I'm from, if someone wrongs you, you beat them or you execute them.
Everyone here is quite merciful in comparison.
no subject
Hm. [ There's not much to show on the screen now as everyone files away into their PCs, but Aventurine still keeps watch. ] Maybe they weren't always... Maybe this was their chance to start over.
[ Just kind of. Drops his forehead down on the bar counter. ]
no subject
He watches him sink to the bar. Nehan is not a deeply awkward individual, but he is also unfriendly so there is no patting or consoling offered. He does reach over the bar for some glasses. ]
I don't think anyone gets the right to a completely fresh start.
[ Wouldn't that be nice. He sounds a little distant, as though maybe the question can apply for them both. ]
Does that mean you have to stay the same person?
no subject
But he does turn his face to the side to look back over, cheek now pressed against the counter, at the sound of glasses clinking together. He frowns, eyebrows furrowing as he makes up his mind. ]
No. It means I'm going to get out of here.
no subject
He just looks at him for a moment, the furrow of his brow, studying. ]
If that's what you want.
[ He won't discourage him if he wants to get out of this new hellhole. He reaches over and pours himself a little bit of scotch. ]
What's your poison?
no subject
Whatever you're drinking is fine.
[ Mildly curious if this is going to be any better than cellar grape juice. ]
no subject
They can have some... average scotch then. It's not top shelf, but it's serviceable; there are more amenities in general in the graveyard, like bathrooms. He'll pour them both three fingers of it.
Dryly, ]
Care to make a toast?
no subject
Aventurine takes his glass and raises it up, tilting it toward Nehan. He is bouncing back, baby. ]
To new beginnings. [ Huffs out a small laugh. ] The second of its kind.
no subject
Good to see him doing well after getting chased down and brutally murdered. After a moment, he clinks his glass gently against Aventurine's. ]
...To the end of something.
[ He takes a sip of his drink. ]
Second time, hm?
no subject
And then his expression immediately brightens and he takes another, longer sip because yes, it's average, but it's better than cellar juice. ]
It's a long story.
[ He's still suffering mentally and physically from the first one, but he waves the subject away with his hand. ]
Where are you staying tonight?
no subject
He does not press for details right this moment. Maybe out of some sympathy for how eventful the weekend has been, or because he's too tired to.
Takes another small pull of his drink. ]
I took the penthouse at the apartment.
[ First dead rights, babey. ]
But there's plenty of rooms there. They're weird, but they're not a barn.
no subject
You're going to get stuck in that elevator one of these days.
[ The way he'd tried to take it during his earlier exploration and then quickly decided against it after seeing the thing... He'll make a mental note to nab one of the apartment rooms, though.
Also, what the heck his barn trauma has spread far. ]
no subject
Well, the day I get stuck in an elevator and die, you can have the penthouse. Until then, it's mine.
[ Enjoy your studio apartment. ]
no subject
... Okay. You can't take that back, even if you die and reappear here.
no subject
Shouldn't you be telling me, "oh Death, don't talk about dying again so casually?"
no subject
[ Throws back his entire drink. Yeah. It's been rough. ]
no subject
All right. If I die in an elevator, it's yours. I'm pretty good for promises, but I'll sign on it if you want.
no subject
[ As Nehan pours, Aventurine studies him. ]
... That's okay. You look like a man of your word. [ STARES AT HIM SOME MORE ACTUALLY. ] You know, I'm starting to understand why there was a mask now.
no subject
And why is that?
