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!

A school, a hospital... this place feels more like a normal town, compared to the other one.

[ tries not to think of the 1-to-1 conversion between the buildings but-- ]

Why is there a strip club?

[ WHOSE FAULT IS THIS. AVENTURINE. ]

[ HELLO? ]

Don't look at me. That was there when I got here.

[ Besides is it really a strip club if there are no strippers? If a tree falls in the forest but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? ]

Mmhm. [ still going to ask Death to verify this ]

There's no security, is there?

Not trying to partake in a little underage drinking, are you?

Nah, I don't care about that. I want something to light on fire.

... For what reason?

[ Karma? ]

I didn't realize you were an arsonist, Karma.

[ That's like. A fun fact, he supposes. ]

[personal profile] intrapid 2024-06-26 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not one- not yet, anyways. I was going to set the barn on first one of our first days here, actually, but Ashlyn talked me out of it. And then there was the church...

[ anyways. he is among the camp of people who is always surprised when a friday investigation location is not on fire ]

[personal profile] tactic 2024-06-26 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good ol' Ashlyn. ]

What can I do to talk you out of setting a fire here?

You can help me come up with a better alternative for reaching the others.

[ HMMMMMM ]

Do you think that's a good idea?
intrapid: (080)

[personal profile] intrapid 2024-06-26 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
You don't think so? Obviously, it'd be best not to attract the attention of the rest of the cult, but I think we should let our- [ ?? ??? ] friends know that we're here and alright. That way, they'll know that we're tackling the same problem from a different angle.

...and it would give them peace of mind.

[ not that he would ever admit it, but he had spent a lot of energy grieving when aventurine had died, and he barely even knew the guy. their inevitably cumulative "deaths" shouldn't keep weighing on people's minds week after week; they aren't dead, after all ]

[ The answering silence is thoughtful. He gives Karma's response the consideration it deserves as he comes to the conclusion that they operate in starkly different ways. ]

... You're much kinder than you let on, you know.

[personal profile] intrapid 2024-06-26 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
...haha! People keep saying that and it makes me want to throttle them.

[ DRIVING HIM INSANEEEEEEE ]

[personal profile] tactic 2024-06-26 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you actually throttled anyone yet?
intrapid: (105)

[personal profile] intrapid 2024-06-27 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Not over being kind.

[ other things, though, ]

Oh, right. You had that thing with Yuffie.

[ Karma entering the graveyard where two Yuffie protectors exist... ]

[personal profile] intrapid 2024-06-27 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't "a thing."

[ don't say it like that ]
tactic: (pic#17149958)

[personal profile] tactic 2024-06-27 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, it wasn't a thing. It was a monster's affinity that caused you to attack her, right?

[ OTHERWISE!!! ]
intrapid: (099)

[personal profile] intrapid 2024-06-27 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Not my monster.

[ it was. something. ]
tactic: (pic#17149909)

[personal profile] tactic 2024-06-27 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
I know. Someone else targeted me with something similar.

[ grimaces, me, the player ]
intrapid: (020)

[personal profile] intrapid 2024-06-27 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Who'd they make you go after?

[ how'd he miss that!!! he thinks it might be because if he tries to imagine aventurine mad at someone, it's the image of a kitten hissing and swatting at people's ankles ]
tactic: (pic#17149941)

[personal profile] tactic 2024-06-27 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
No, it wasn't...

[ SIGHS ]

They made me fall in love with someone.
