GRAVEYARD


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, but it leads you to somewhere that's not the front lawn.

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. On the desk are some blank pieces of paper along with crayons, as well as a written note next to them that says PLEASE DRAW THE PREFERRED ANIMAL :). It looks like this is how you ask for a meeting with a Leader.

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.

As of Week 3, each person has the ability to send messages on their PHS unlocked.

I'm pretty sure he only shows up when you least expect him.

How are you doing?

I'll be sure not to expect him, then. I still need to see him.

[He grins.]

I'm fine. I failed to set you up with a hot horse-mentor, though. My bad.

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-10-26 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You failed to set us up with anyone, somehow. [No one died from that execution what the heck.]

But I don't think anyone here is going to complain about you joining us.
lionson: (058)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-10-26 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll do my best to be a valuable addition to the team~

[He will find Laine someone to date eventually.]

What's with all these orbs, anyway?

[If he turns Chiron in to a frog and then someone steps on him and kills him and then he comes to deadland...]

They're probably related to whatever unusual thing is happening to everyone this week. The other side probably has them too.

What do you think will happen if one pops? [Laine isn't popping one yet, but he's thinking about it.]
lionson: (066)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-10-26 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No time like the present to find out!

[And Shiro just. Reaches out and pops one.

And Laine gets to see that first week of Hell, where Shiro was taking care of two newborns on his own, and he had to deal with bottles and crying and diapers and more crying and no sleep all by himself.

[There's a rush of memory, a week all in a split second, and Laine doesn't need a second to recover, he's shaking his head as soon as the flash of memory ends.]

I am never having kids. [But he's grinning, too. He knows that there's way more to the story than that temporary exhaustion.]
lionson: (090)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-10-27 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[There is indeed more, but Shiro is just grinning at the memory. He thinks it happened because he touched the bubble, and since it's a positive memory (to him) he just accepts it.]

I bet it wouldn't be as bad with just one baby, or if you had a partner helping you. Newborn twins all by myself was the worst! I'm glad I got help after that first week.

Ahh, but look at how cute they were back then!
tensecondsahead: (25)

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-10-27 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
They really were! I'm glad you got help with them, that seemed like way too much for one person to handle.

[And Shiro looks so happy, talking about them. That's what's important, having people who care for you enough that they smile when talking about you.]

Man, compared to that I don't know if I have any memories worth looking at!
lionson: (082)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-10-27 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
It really was. Having friends to help, that's what saved my sanity.

[Shiro certainly looks ready to keel over in those memories.]

C'mon, you know you gotta show me the kids who work for you! You spent so long bragging about them, I'm curious.
tensecondsahead: (49)

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-10-27 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what you'll see. [But he reaches out and here you go (from page 24, Chuuta's arrival on the space ship, to page 42, and Laine's assessment of Chuuta. The word Mothers is a buzz of static, since he's forgotten the name of the supercomputer).

Despite everything, the memory is incredibly fond. Laine cares so much about his entire crew, and Misuzu is someone unbelievably precious. Even if she and Chuuta endlessly act like the middle-schoolers they are.

Haha... that's about right, for them.

[Oh, he is definitely smiling as he watches this. It's a ridiculous situation, to be sure, and all the aliens are strange. But there's something familiar about seeing teenagers be teenagers. It must be his teacher instinct or something.]

He certainly is an interesting one! He seems nervous though. And that girl, she seems very unimpressed.
tensecondsahead: (80)

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-10-27 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think Misuzu has ever been impressed with anything in her whole life.

Chuuta's gotten a little bolder, and he's way more reliable in a pinch than he seemed at first. And we figured out pretty quickly why he talks to himself all the time. [That good good shonen protag development.]
lionson: (004)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-10-27 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? I did think that was weird. Why does he talk to himself?
tensecondsahead: (38)

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-10-27 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't. We just can't hear the person he's talking to. Drew is a symbiotic life form that's bonded to Chuuta, and they make a really great team.
lionson: (066)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-10-27 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
You can't? You never found a way to talk to Drew?
tensecondsahead: (1)

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-10-27 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
No, but it hasn't been something they've been very interested in. From what I know about Drew, he'd cause way more problems for Chuuta if everyone could hear everything he says. Like this, they can still live safely on Earth.
lionson: (005)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-10-27 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Is he a little troublemaker or something?
tensecondsahead: (82)

[personal profile] tensecondsahead 2020-10-27 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[It says a lot about Shiro that he's asking about Drew, and in a way that makes it clear he understands Drew is a person worth asking about.]

He is, and with how often Chuuta just starts scolding him, he's pretty opinionated too.
lionson: (034)

[personal profile] lionson 2020-10-27 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He just figures Drew is like a demon, it's NBD.]

Ha! He would have gone wild then, if he could talk to anyone.
