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!

He's silent for a few long moments. Unfortunately, it is just him in here now.]
...Yes. [NO MORE [REDACTED] YIPPIE.] I-- But why are you... here?
[Another glance around, this time more confused. Girl what the hell they should NOT be in the same afterlife.]
no subject
Do you remember what I told you about the lifestream? And how what comes from the planet returns to the planet? I'm not sure if it's exactly the same, but...we're all here. We started in this place, and now we're just...you know. In another one. I don't think we're very far from the others at all.
no subject
I don't... understand. [He thinks briefly and horrifyingly of Gale being like I THINK OUR SOULS ARE JUST BEING EATEN like my god are we just in a soup pot right now.] But if we're all here...
[IS THAT GOOD??? IS THAT BAD??? HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT WHERE "HERE" IS HE CAN'T JUDGE.]
no subject
she will tuck them behind her back but she nods.]
It's a little overwhelming, I know. But I don't know if we're really...gone, exactly? I'm not sure what this is. Everyone's here, and we can see all of you over there. [...] But I don't think this is the damnation you think it should be.
no subject
...No, it isn't. Those free of sin wouldn't be here. [Like Aerith! And Ichiban! And all the other victims!! Also the possessed killers who had no control over their actions, which he is only partially!!]
If you can see us, then...
no subject
Think of this place as...an in-between, I guess. Aventurine has some notebooks put together explaining our situation a little better. You can read them over whenever you're ready.
[but well.]
...we arrived yesterday morning. [to answer the unasked question, yes she did in fact witness the dang trial.]
no subject
...Alright... [A little nod. This is still a lot to take in. He's very tired. His medicine followed him to the grave and it's sorely tempting him in this moment, especially after she says that and he just wants to fucking die a second time.]
...I'm-- I... apologize for...
[FORCING YUFFIE TO KILL HIM ON TOP OF ALL HER OTHER TRAUMA.]
no subject
But I'm sure you've already had enough excitement for the last few weeks. It can be really...draining to be here so suddenly. [...] We have apartments now. You can get a key and claim a place of your own. Would you like me to show you the way there?
no subject
I'm only sorry for Mathis...
[Who he'd been STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO OHHHGGHHH MATHIS HIS WATER BOTTLE. There's a flash of something difficult in his expression, there and gone. But at the idea of being able to just go hole up somewhere-- ...He still hesitates because he's like I SHOULD RECEIVE PENALTY? WHERE IS MY PENANCE???]
...If... you don't mind. I... [ANOTHER LONG PAUSE.] ...I'm sorry.
no subject
...he's stronger than we think. But I know it's scary, thinking about leaving him behind like that and not being able to be with him. Or apologize to him, or continue to guide him. We have the TVs to watch them though when they're in public spaces. You'll be able to keep an eye on him, and...others will help him. Karlach and Rondo and Daan, those kinds of people. He isn't alone.
You have a lot to be sorry for, but...we can talk about that when we get to your apartment. I can help you get settled in. [she's going to find where this man lives to make sure he doesn't stay in there for the next several weeks.]
no subject
[That Mathis is stronger than he seems, and that he has others there to care for him, but... It doesn't change the fact that he can't do anything, himself. BUT IT'S FINE! Just another layer on the self-flagellation cake.
He shakes his head a little. No they will not be talking he will simply be wandering off to the basement by accident and then holing up in his room forever and if Aerith SHOWS UP AND PESTERS HIM HE'LL JUST GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! BEGONE. HIS GUILT.]
You don't need to help. Just showing me the way is more than enough... But if you have anything you wish to speak to me about, please do.
[Once back at his stupid lil apartment with his new bruises.]
no subject
I still want to help you even when you don't want that.
no subject
Turning to look her way... Lead on, lass.]
