GRAVEYARD 2.0

[retellers]

GRAVEYARD Well, that sucked. But no matter what your death was like—whether it was something peaceful or traumatic, you'll find yourself waking in a completely white room on the floor. Small and empty, there isn't anything else there besides an open door to walk through. But before you do that, you'll probably notice that whatever injuries you may have had, including whatever may have been the death blow, are now gone. That's exciting. Stepping out of the room, it seems that you're in a large... house? with three different floors. Everything from floor, ceiling to furniture is completely white, except for the drawings that are plastered to the walls in each room. These are all colorful, drawn in colored pencils and crayon, and resemble a child's drawing. The other notable thing are the windows. While they're present all around the building, looking out of them only shows TV static. Besides that, everything is furnished with the absolute bare minimum of each room. The first floor is all typical common areas one would find in a house. There's a kitchen, living room area, laundry room, dining room, and a main hallway where the stairs are. There are also helpful drawings in these rooms that show the rooms much more lavishly decorated than they actually are. There's a door that appears to be the way to exit the building, it's locked. The second floor consists of nothing but twenty bedrooms. Each room has one queen sized bed, an empty dresser, and an attached bathroom with only a sink, toilet, and shower. Like the first floor, each bedroom has drawn pictures that show it looking much more lavish than it actually does. Thanks for nothing, artist! The third floor only has two rooms. One appears to be a home office with nothing but a desk and two chairs, one behind it and one in front of it. While there's blank pieces of paper and crayons on the desk, the note that was previously there is gone. The other room is much larger, and it's completely empty save for the many drawings lining its walls— in fact, the walls are covered in them, much more than in any other room. On closer inspection, though, it seems like these aren't actually drawings? The papers seem to be showing scenes from the living area. Everything from inside the hotel to the areas beyond the bridge are visible here. However, when curfew hits on Thursday nights, they revert to being normal drawings! Except for the fact that they're all drawings of stick figures being murdered in various ways. Well. At least there's plenty of things to draw with, if you get bored. Also, a handy link to the previous post.

arrival.
[ somehow, waking up after knowing she died is still a surprise. ochako seems to take it in stride though, calmly wandering the halls and taking a moment to study each of the drawings she comes across. she seems unusually quiet.

when she spots someone, though, she smiles. if you are mob or chiron or dorothy, you may get a different reaction, but like. in general. ]

So this is where you guys have been, huh? Doesn't seem like there's a lot to do, is there?

wildcard.
[ she'll just be wandering around, probably spending a good chunk of time in the spy room? it's fine. ]

[dawnblushed]

[ochako...]

There was a little more last week, but... this week it seems like we're locked in.

[infreefall]

Really? [ she seems disappointed by this! ] It must be because we're close to the end, huh? They're supposed to be able to connect the two places, though...

[dawnblushed]

I think so. We were able to go to the beach last week - the one to the north...

[hmm.]

But we're very, very close to the end, so that's probably why.

[heartablaze]

[well

she spots her from a hallway and instantly yeets herself directly at ochako

they are probably hitting the floor and glitching out. oops.]

[infreefall]

[ i just like the image of being tackled to the ground so there they go, with a startled yelp ]

H-Hikaru-san?

[heartablaze]

[here we are on our new home, The Floor. But she props herself up on her elbows, a choking little laugh as she notes the lack of gunshot to the head]

You're okay-- you're okay, Ochako-chan! Nothing hurts, does it? Do you remember everything??

[frostythehitman]

Normally there's an outside area that matches what you guys had on the living end of things.

[ he pauses and seems...trepidatious. almost nervous, even? ]

...Hey.

[infreefall]

[ well at least with bucky, her smile is a little more real! ]

Hey, B- Vezda-san! I missed you!

[frostythehitman]

[ Well, she seems to be doing alright so far! ]

Hey Ochako. Welcome to...being dead, I guess.

[siblingless]

[Ochako... Sumire seems so incredibly sad to see her here, her hands pressed against her chest.]

Ah... We were previously allowed to leave the house, but... it seems as though that's no longer an option. [... A pause. And then she bows from the waist.] Uraraka-san, I'm so, so sorry.

[infreefall]

Oh, so something's changed, then.

Ah, but don't be sorry! I knew it would probably be me. I did volunteer and all.

[siblingless]

... You truly are amazing, Uraraka-san.

[Volunteering to die to save them? She's absolutely a hero.]

But with all the more reason, I'm sorry it had to be this way.

arrival

[exercisms]

[She's here! Hurrying over as soon as she arrives! Unlike last week, it seems like the dead didn't arrive injured, so she's already up and walking around. . .]

Uraraka-san!

[infreefall]

[ and because this is mob, ochako stops at the sound of his voice, turns

and immediately launches herself at him for a hug. ]

Shigeo-kun!

[ surprise! we're on a first name basis now! ]

[suddenlybees]

Surprise~! Welcome to hell. It's kinda nice- you get to sleep so much.

[ There is nothing to do but at least you are super well rested all the time. ]

...Did you get to Plus Ultra until the very end?

[infreefall]

Eh, I think I'd just get bored...

[ that said. she just. blinks at kano in confusion. ]

What does that mean? "Plus Ultra?"

[antaressnipe]

[-- Mm.

Chiron just. freezes in place upon seeing Ochako, like what's left of his soul just shriveled up with grief.




why is she here]

[infreefall]

[ ...she freezes, too. but after a moment, she smiles sadly. ]

I guess they took the volunteering thing to heart, huh?

[maidforservice]

[offering her tea!! it's chamomile, because she figures those who are freshly dead need to relax some]

We used to have access to the facilities outside. I don't know why it's different this week.

[infreefall]

Oh, thank you.

[ she'll take the tea. ]

It must be because it's the end, right? Maybe the next time we can go out, it'll be to where they are.

[lionson]

There's usually more, I'm not sure why we can't go somewhere else this week. And the leaders haven't been around to ask.

[infreefall]

So this is where the other teams have been. You guys don't know where they went?

[bisouled]

[ ochako! she waves, though perhaps somewhat less energetically than usual... being dead isn't great. ]

Well, there's usually a lot to explore, and you don't have to worry about getting attacked?

[ this is all she can offer. ]

[infreefall]

Were you worried about being attacked, when you arrived here?

[ she's curious, but doesn't seem much different than usual - maybe a tiny bit more subdued, but she's getting used to it already. ]

Maybe it's changed now that everyone's met the quota before the deadline.
