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!

I don't know who Mister Potato Head is.

Nevermind that.

[...or not, wait, no, scratch that]

Nevermind the nevermind that. Wild thought: what if the entity that's being summoned is being formed by assembling its vessel? Stitch together the body parts, and the point of the ritual is to make the vessel viable enough for the god of their choice to inhabit it.

[She got inspired by her own frustrated comment, yup]

It does sound like they're trying to find body parts for it. Is that what they planned to use us for?

I don't think it'd be ours. With the way our bodies get battered and sliced I don't think much of ours can be used successfully.

I think we might be meant for something more...esoteric? No idea what.

[Unless it was meant to be, like...bringing as many people as possible so the odds of one person's necessary body part surviving the ordeal unscathed were higher]

Where do you think they plan to get the parts from, then?

[Erin gives it some thought, and...then she snaps her fingers]

Summoning. They're summoning all these monsters all the time, aren't they? Wouldn't a bunch of body parts from monsters that are supernatural in the first place be more suited for a godly entity?

[True, there are some people here in Scawwy who aren't human and are of more magical races, but still...]

...That is true. [ whoaaaa erin's so smart! ] It depends on the god they've summoned... But none of us who've been possessed have had the same monster so far, so if that's the case, they must want the variety.

In the end I'm just making educated guesses, though. For all we know the next tome we find will prove me wrong.

Let's just put a pin on all this until later notice.

[Erin looks like she's ready to turn this place upside down in the search of another tome. Patience, gal, they happen every Wednesday]

...Hopefully we'll find it sooner than later. Until then, we need to stick with moving in groups to lessen the damage taken.

[ ear flick ]

What sort of amalgamation like that goes by "Mister Potato Head"...

[ anyway ]

Mm, well—that's not impossible. There's all sorts of summoning rituals out there, and we were never given the specific "blueprints," so to speak.
