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.

[the idea of soo-won staying in one place? hilarious. he's looking around at everything, wandering, not really taking a moment to pause or rest. he'll be wandering around the castle, gulfan settled on his shoulder and there is the occasional chat to him of - ]

Not much room for you to stretch your wings here is there, friend?

[but then as he runs into - well, most familiar faces, he'll just offer a smile]

.... hello again.

[dawnblushed]

...

[yona's keeping her distance for now because she got his message? she know she doesn't remember her? and she doesn't want to confuse him.

but also it's hard to stay away so, like, he'll probably catch her glancing in his direction from time to time.]

[recrowns]

[she is, admittedly, the one person that he wouldn't have been able to greet.

but it's the red hair.

it's the red hair and the fact that she's not coming up to him and - he pauses, because it seems like he too doesn't really know what to do in this situation but.

surprisingly uncertainly:]

... um. Yona... isn't it?

[dawnblushed]

Yes.

[..."isn't it," he says. that's more of a tipoff that he's working off his notes than anything; if he knew her, there wouldn't be any uncertainty at all.]

You still don't remember who I am, right?

[suddenlybees]

[ I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this icon today and this is the face Kano makes Soo-won who he has spoken to all of one time two months ago.

He sticks his tongue out at him. ]

[recrowns]

[




he sticks his tongue out back?]

[suddenlybees]

[ Soo-won has returned the customary greeting. The tongue flicks up towards his nose- can Soo-won lick the tip of his nose? give me this lore ]

[exercisms]

Won.

[Here's Mob! He spots Gulfan and goes to look for his owner, though when he sees him, he's just a little reticent for some reason.]

Are you okay?

[recrowns]

[ . . . . ah, well there's a sight for sore eyes. his expression turns a little fond then, before he offers a gently amused smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes]

.... oh, I suppose I've been better.

But... hello again, Shigeo.

[exercisms]

It's all right. Most people feel bad when they wake up here.

[So it's fine if he feels bad, too.]

Hello, again.

[heartablaze]

[he can spot her a mile away, probably, she is as subtle as a train wreck when she comes running down the stairs]

I'm sorry we can't let him outside, Haku-san. The doors aren't usually locked like this.

[recrowns]

[there she is! there's just a little bit of a laugh at that, gently amused]

That's too bad, but he should behave as long as I keep an eye on him. Thank you for letting me know.

Do you normally get more room to explore, Hikaru?

[a beat]

It's good to see you again.

[heartablaze]

Mn. We could go out to the beach last week, just like you guys. We just couldn't see you.

[Her expression softens, though with a determination in her eyes.]

It's good to see you, too... I just wish it wasn't like this. Raven and Laine-san and Shuuya and I were all hoping the rest of the team would stay safe...

[Ah. She puts a hand up before he can interject.]

I-it's okay to talk about what's happening with the teams, okay? We don't have the same rules as the others do.

Did Chijin show you the notes I was sending?

[siblingless]

[Hello, Soo-won. He won't get a hug, exactly, but there sure will be a teenage girl coming very close to it. Which is to say, Sumire will stop herself before she invades his personal space.]

Ah— [Bringing a hand to her mouth, looking conflicted for numerous reasons.] Soo-won-san...

[recrowns]

[ah.

soo-won turns to her and just.

laughs quietly as he brings a hand up to steady gulfan on his shoulder.]

... you owe me a hit, don't you? Even if I don't remember why, I suppose I can understand. I can put my friend here aside, if you'd like to take your shot. I'll try not to deflect out of habit.

[WAKES UP DEAD, OFFERS TO GET PUNCHED]

[antaressnipe]

[... Chiron merely looks at him in a vaguely disapproval manner, still playing his lyre the entire time.

The disapproval isn't for Won, really.

Just... how ugly fate is at times]

[recrowns]

[soo-won will catch the disapproving look - and shoot back something similarly wry.

he doesn't stop until he's doing exploring the whole of the space, aiming to accomplish that first - and then he'll come back for conversation with chiron]

.... Thursday night?

[for both where of their memories stop]

[maidforservice]

[SOO-WON DOES NOT GET TEA HE JUST GETS A VERY STERN LOOK]

[recrowns]

[he laughs a little - before beckoning her to head somewhere else]

[lionson]

We used to not be stuck in this house. Whatever you guys on the living got to see on the other side of the bridge, we got here too.

Hi, by the way.

[recrowns]

Oh... I would've liked to see the ocean again. Based on the pictures depicted, it seems like they get to visit the Leaders' castle this week.

[just an idle comment - before he just offers a soft smile]

It's nice to see you, my friend.

[frostythehitman]

Welcome to the party.

[recrowns]

Do we have music? Dancing? Are you our Master of Ceremonies?

[bisouled]

Won!

[ it's Fiora!! she's running up to him with her usual heavy footsteps, but there's no emergency - rather, she just looks happy to see him, despite everything. ]

You're a sight for sore eyes! And Gulfan, too. Are you feeling okay?

[laid]

[Raven's bad at heartfelt reunions so he's just going to focus on something inconsequential to hopefully just dodge any potential sentimentality!!]

It's a shame, y'know? The beach was so great last week, and they had ta go and ruin it givin' us those horrible injuries.
[Sounds like the dead got the same bonus location as the living, previously.]
