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!

[Oh well. At least this time it's a welcome twist. She can't be upset about that]
I'm not feeling like killing anyone right now. Pretty sure that means it's out and gone.
[She decides this is Asa's handiwork. Thanks, it was good to trust you to do this]
no subject
Want a blanket? Somethin' to eat?
no subject
[Adaptable she is but also she was just killed in a fight to the death, so that's got her a bit shaken up. She'd ask for a drink but that probably can wait]
no subject
Ain't nothin' fancy, I know that. There's a shoppin' mall nearby with a food court. Can't promise on the quality, but it's there if you want somethin' more fillin'.
[ he heard your final cries yesterday, erin. ]
Got a bar nearby too. We've, uh, been there often.
no subject
A bar? With actual stuff or is it generic 'literally has BEER in the label and nothing else' stuff?
[Last time she was trapped in a decently okayish place with no way out it was the latter, she'd like it to not be the latter]

[Erin sighs]
Last time I was in a place like this after 'resurrecting' it actually was some limbo place between many buildings in my town. If this is anything like that again I'm going to be so cross.
[Thankfully this is not a repeat from that, Erin! This graveyard isn't some forgotten space surrounded by a stadium, a station, and a supermarket.
Probably]
no subject
Uh... 'bout that. You might wanna take a closer look at that notebook. Heard it's more like some kinda other dimension, but it might not be too far from that limbo you're speakin' of.
[ but with different buildings. and it's way more decrepit. they have cats though! ]
no subject
[Erin makes a mental note to make a copy of that notebook for herself, for her own reference]
How are you holding up? You have been here for longer than I have. Got used to this place somehow?
[May as well ask how Boothill is doing!]
no subject
Come on. We'll talk while we head over to them apartments over here.
[ he'll lead the way! but he keeps in step with her otherwise. ]
Doin' all right. Better'n I was when I got here, that's for sure. ...Truth be told, I was drinkin' like a fish most'a the time.
no subject
It's so relatable to hear that, really. She probably wouldn't have spent 'drinkin' like a fish most'a the time' but there was a lot of times while she was alive in Scawwy that she wanted to do that. Still kind of does, really.
She's chalking it up to having been a fish until a little bit ago, har har har. Sorry, couldn't resist the wordplay there when I read your post]
What changed that made you stop that?
[Did something shake you up enough to get you to stop spending time there? Or was it that the shock of, well, a pretty rough death wore off?]
no subject
also, if we're getting technical, heaven's night wasn't the only place he drank at. ]
I still gotta drink. Guess I got tired of it bein' all I did. [ he looks back at erin. ] Now we got more of you here. It'll be busier for all of us, I'm hopin'.
no subject
[Which probably will be handwaved for the most part because hey, clues come when they come on events and the such, but yeah, Erin will probably spend the next hundred hours checking every inch of this place and trying to peek under every rock and floorboard. Nobody can say she doesn't work hard, really]
no subject
Well, we done mapped out what we could, but yeah, take a gander and see what else ya' can't find. Can't hurt for someone like you to take a sharper look around. Journalism, right?
no subject
[Or at least she was called that by Daan. Which hey, maybe that'd be true if I was smarter but I'm no crime solver, so that means said statement is untrue as long as I'm the one playing said detective or journalist, haha]
no subject
anyway, OOF. ]
Least they still got a few there with some brains, right? Even if you're here with us now.
no subject
[The more people, the less smart they are. Two heads work better than one, thirty-nine don't. Still, Erin is fine admitting they could be doing much, much, much worse. So far worst she can say is that maybe discussing if Nancy is seafood was a bit of a digression!
I hope this somewhat okay opinion of everyones trial capabilities gets ruined in incoming trials. The shenanigans and discussions that can happen in trials can get so hilarious sometimes]
no subject
That, uh, cookout y'all had sure was interestin'. That's all I'll say.
[ everyone screaming what the FUCK is up with that at each other. i'll always be sad about missing this. ]
no subject
[Erin mumbled that, far less pleased about things. That was less of a great moment for everyone, for many reasons]
no subject
no subject
[She laughs a bit]
That better have been seen too. It can't be all you can see is the stuff that makes us all look bad.
[erin the article made gale look bad]

no subject
[Rude, world, why are you like this]
no subject
Don't know if it's any consolation, but I couldn't read it even if we did get a look.
[ they are coming up on the apartment building's reception now! boothill will point out heaven's night on their way in. ]
