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!

[ squints like help, he doesn't even know what half these are ]

This is like Boothill telling me his was "unforgettable."
residentflorist: (Where have you gone)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-30 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure what some of these were either. Gojo told me about a Qilin though. Maybe some of the others recognize them?

...the hell is a glawackus?
residentflorist: (Easy now watch it go)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-30 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
A monster...[like, kind of in awe because she does not know either.]

I thought some of these might've been made up, but...War told me Rondo had a whole book explaining all of them. I didn't get a chance to ask him before...everything. But maybe we can ask Death?

He did, a bestiary. I only took a quick look at it, but it was supposed to have all of our monsters in it.
residentflorist: (She acts like summer)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-30 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Worth a try to ask then. Even if we can't get the actual bestiary he might have an equivalent we can borrow.
naginota: (3. playtime's over)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-06-30 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No reason not to try.

I wonder how closely the monsters are related to their powers, though. Mine wouldn't have been useful at all without these rituals.
residentflorist: (And that Heaven is overrated)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-30 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...we were aligned with these monsters because of the steps that brought us here, right? And we didn't awaken into them right away. Maybe it was meant to be used differently and adapted for our trial rituals.
naginota: (85)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-07-01 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
...Maybe. Before the trial rituals began, all I knew was that it was find hidden information once a week. I didn't know what it meant, or what I should be looking for, so I didn't try it before then.
residentflorist: (I don't know)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-07-01 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Then maybe it really did morph. I don't think I've heard of that happening to anyone else before.
naginota: (67)

[personal profile] naginota 2024-07-02 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. It almost makes me wish I'd tried using it before then, just to see what would happen.

...No use thinking about what can't be done, though.

[ Finally, Pickles's reading time in the giant bookstore does something good for once and he barks.

The puppy says that a glawackus is known to be a devil cat that is blind and has the power to erase memories by looking into its eyes.

residentflorist: (Who is the lamb)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-30 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. That's good to know, thank you, Pickles. [she thinks.] We heard about a power that makes someone forgetful and kinda ditzy. Think maybe that might be a connection?
rimet: (pic#17251392)

[personal profile] rimet 2024-06-30 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pickles tilts his head. ]

Woof.

[ The puppy supposes that from fairytales, it has heard that golems are drawn to life, so that line of thought could have some merit. ]
residentflorist: (Where have you gone)

[personal profile] residentflorist 2024-06-30 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It seems like some of these have at least some loose connection to what the monsters themselves are. I think it might be worth keeping it in mind. [looking through the list...] Robin and I got hit with that power that makes people fall in love. So maybe that's a succubus thing? Like a smaller scale one. And the Changeling...we all saw what happened with Camille. Maybe that? We've seen people with changed hair colors and scales and stuff, too.
