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!

[she's keeping an eye on the tvs while monitoring everyone else, too.]

We struggled with three of us last week, too. Not sure how this one's gonna go. [...] Are you alright?

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
And it seems that there's even more, this time. I didn't expect another chimera so soon.

...I'm not the one to be worried about.

[ turning back to the screen, it looks like he's searching for someone. ]
residentflorist: (Every once in a little while)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
They did say to a few of us it was likely it'd happen again. I wish that hadn't been the case. [she has questions for him, but...more importantly, she's quiet and also looking at the screen.]

...what's wrong?
naginota: (115)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I knew it would, but that doesn't make it any easier.

...My partner is still alive, for now.
residentflorist: (Knowing it wasn't true)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
—you found them? [oh no...] Can I ask...?
naginota: (22)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Last week. [ he's just watching them, looking horribly guilty. ] It's Mathis-dono.
naginota: (122)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah! yeah. iwatooshi just doesn't answer, he only looks more upset as pesto confirms mathis will die tomorrow. his partner ): ]
residentflorist: (It comes with a price)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[she just looks...frowny. but she puts a hand on his arm.]

Then I really hope they solve all three today.
naginota: (32)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
What we need is a way to remove the affliction so we don't lose more numbers.

[ he says that a little too sharply and winces. ]

I'm sorry. But our numbers worry me. They said we only had a few weeks, but to lose so many in such a short time is...
residentflorist: (How quickly the glamour fades)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[grips his arm a little tighter.]

Hey. I know. I said the same to the overseers, and they are making some progress to figure things out. But...if we're all still here, that means there's still some hope to return where we came from, isn't there?

[ff7 lifestream nonsense will apply enough if you just believe.]

It's just making sure they keep their morale up long enough they don't tear each other apart. And that's what worries me more.
naginota: (68)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I don't understand how we're still here at all. [ looks back to the screen where rondo is telling them about his naginata. ] I should have broken.

Knowing that there are so many of us possessed is going to make that difficult. [ ... ] Losing Mathis-dono is going to hurt them, too.
residentflorist: (Wishing I never gave trust)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Then maybe that means we aren't really gone at all. [just a thought. but...hum.]

...it will hurt them. But we have to trust they'll keep it together and find comfort in each other to pull themselves through. And we'll just have to be here for Mathis when he arrives. This won't be easy for him either. [...] I found my partner last weekend, too. But...I lied to them. They don't know that I know.

[she only mentions it because she was scared of this exact possibility.]
naginota: (82)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...Maybe.

[ he reaches out to touch aerith's shoulder. ]

I'm sure they'll understand why you did. You were afraid of something happening to them, right? They'll be safer, for a little while.

[ that's the best he can hope for when we're killing at least five people a week. ]
residentflorist: (You play forgiveness)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. They're a nice person even when they don't think they are, and they weren't really looking to match either. So I probably did both of us a favor. Hopefully...
naginota: (115)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
We can hope.

...Who was it, if I may ask?
residentflorist: (Slipping out of time)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Gojo. He told me his monster first, and I...didn't want to lock him in when neither of us were looking. So I lied and told him I had Cloud's.
naginota: (121)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, at least you know now that he'll be safe. [ ... ] Unless he gets caught by that new rule.
residentflorist: (Who is the lamb)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...even if he matches with someone new, I doubt he's changing his mind about looking. He's probably only helping to find someone else's.
naginota: (15)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-29 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I think they need a better system for that, if they want to avoid this happening again.

[oh.

relief that gojo isn't dying (well unless a freak incident happens tonight) aaaaaaaa]
residentflorist: (Before I make the final sacrifice)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-29 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[YEAH.]

That was my strategy, if people ever asked to trade. Have them share first so I'd always know. They didn't need to be tied to me.

That's smart. The only time we ever got close was Geto taking his shot and seeing if I'd tell him without him reciprocating, but I had to decline because then I'd be dying of curiosity while he could walk away stress-free.
