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 was waiting here as always on one of the nearby benches, a heavy plastic bag from ben 'n jerry's looped on one arm. it's easy to recognize aqua's figure in the fog. he rises to his feet when he sees it.

his chest feels heavy looking at her after everything he saw on that screen in the bar. ]


Miss Aqua.

[ ...oh.

there's a heavy pause, when she sees him, before she goes over to where he's waiting. ]


...Boothill.

[ she just quietly stands there in front of him for a moment, unsure what to say. ]

[ he lowers his head and pauses too. ]

...

You know I got too much hardware for hugs, but if you need one...

[ she just steps forward without another word and winds her arms tightly around him. her shoulders might be trembling a little bit, it's fine. ]

[ boothill bends a little to set the plastic back down before he catches her in that hug. he's cold to the touch, of course, but he warms up quickly. he's careful not to hold too tightly before that happens.

he lowers his voice. ]


You're all right, Miss Aqua. You're okay. Let it out if you have to.

[ yeah this is not very comfortable but she doesn't really think she deserves that luxury right now.

but will she still hold onto him, yes. will she start silently crying in his arms, unfortunately also yes. ]

[ 😭 OUR AQUA!!!

he takes off his hat so it's more comfortable for her, but otherwise he's just holding her while she cries and murmuring little comforts... she went through so much right in front of all of their salads. he's glad to have her here if only so that she can be comforted (by a few of them, anyway). he should have brought some tissues from the bar. ]

[ JUST CRIES BIG FAT TEARS ON MAIN. what more does she have to lose, really.

but eventually she pulls away enough so she can wipe her face off with her sleeves. get it together... ]


I'm so glad you're all right.

[ he lets her go but keeps a hand on her shoulder. ]

It's good to see you too. Wish it were under better circumstances. You already hear what this place is?

[ she smiles a bit wryly, though it's still mostly sad. and tired. ]

I guess I managed to keep one promise, at least.

[ ... ]

Mhm. I got that notebook from Aventurine, and spoke to Erin a bit as well.

[personal profile] shirtbag 2024-07-01 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
So I don't gotta explain much to ya' then. I'll give ya' answers if you still got questions, though.

[ he puts his hat back on. ]

'N which promise would that be?
keeper: (pic#6370815)

[personal profile] keeper 2024-07-01 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I appreciate it.

[ she just pulls out her wayfinder to show him with a small smile, before tucking it back into her sleeve. ]

[personal profile] shirtbag 2024-07-01 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Right.

[ pulls out the wooden one and holds it up like the lil badge it is. ]

Still got mine too.

[ she nods. ]

...Walk around with me for a bit?

[ they'll have plenty to catch up on, it seems. ]

[ they do! he picks up his bag and tips his hat. ]

Sure thing.

[ pause. looks in the bag. ]

Y'like, uh... donuts?

[ pulls out a tiny plastic package of white, powdered ones. these seem popular when he brings them. ]
