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!

[ boothill feels the same way. he really didn't know erin at all and this proves it. ]

Seems kinda early for you.

[ but he's turning and rummaging through what they have. his ears are open, though. ]

Got a preference?

[ Aventurine like ofc it's whiskey why did i even ask.

But yeah, that's not a pleasant sound, and he looks at Boothill with a frown. ]

[ once he hears that stab, boothill lets out a heavy exhale, shoulders slacking. he was waiting for it. ]

Sounds like Asa took care of it. Can't be sure for how long, though. She took a beatin'.

[ He'd fill out a hundred ass charts to stop this.

For now, though, he quietly nods in agreement and waits for the ritual to come to an end. ]

[ Puts a hand on those notebooks he brought with him. ]

Take these with you in case I pass out for the day.

[personal profile] shirtbag 2024-06-23 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure thing.

[ he puts on his hat and takes the notebooks.

then, after hesitating, he sets out his hand for aventurine. ]


... Think you got it in you for a handshake?

[ Looks at the outstretched hand, then at Boothill, then back at the hand as he reaches out to take it with a small laugh. ]

You can just ask to hold my hand next time.

[ NOT SO HETEROSEXUAL NOW HUH

Anyway, they are healing... Aventurine smiles and gives a little wave as Boothill departs. ]
