GRAVEYARD

[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, 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.

week 4

[yamantaka]

wild wild west

[ shima is taking to exploring a lot this week! he can be found checking out everything the northern area has to offer. for some (?) strange reason, he kept to the manor mostly, only venturing out when needed for gorilla reasons. but this week he's out and about.

maybe you pass by him as he's taking a seat to rest? if so, you might see him suddenly freeze and stare at his hand in F E A R.

on his hand is a tiny scorpion. it takes a moment, but then he lets out a scream of pure terror as he pulls his hand away. then he's reaching for his staff as he wildly swings at the scorpion.

do you just popcorn.gif or do you try to help...? ]

boys just wanna have fun

[ shima is just stretched out on a chair in the living room. he's got those girlie mags that shiro asked for him right at his side and he has absolutely no shame in just. flipping through those mags.

in public. ]

the memory remains

[ mandatory memory share! do you wanna see him and his big family? do you wanna see the kind of stupid shit he does? or maybe you wanna see him do spy things? do you wanna see why izumo hates him so much? let me know what flavor of memory share you want!! ]

wolf I hate that I have to do this

[laid]

[Surely everyone else is going to disapprove of this whole situation, but Raven is just going to come join him??? I hate this.]

Surely yer gonna share those with old Raven.
[Please. I don't even think they have magazines where Raven's from.]

[yamantaka]

Of course! I'm not so mean as to not share the wealth~

[ raven has his choice. they're all very lovely ladies~

i hate this why are all the straight men dirty ]

[laid]

[I blame society.]

I knew you were a good kid, deep down.
[What is this backhanded compliment. Anyway he will just take the first one because honestly this is a great bounty to him beggars can't be choosers.]

Feel like if Sharon or Cater catches sight of these they might end up confiscated, though.
[Cater especially.]

[yamantaka]

Would they be so mean as to take away a man's dying wish?

[ yes ]

[laid]

Cater probably would. She's still mad about what happened at the first trial.

[When they almost got to see Dorothy's boobs.]

[yamantaka]

We're just healthy men who made an understandable decision.

[ a missed opportunity ]

[laid]

Yeah. When are we gonna get another chance like that!? A knockout like Dorothy doesn't come along every day!!

[I hate this conversation.]

[yamantaka]

Right?! Who can blame us?

[ everyone. as they should

why are we continuing this ]

[laid]

Exactly! It wasn't like we told her ta do that! It was her own choice!

[Surely they both know this is incorrect logic, right?]

[yamantaka]

Right? We had no say in the matter!

[ this is so incorrect, but before shima can continue, he sees a memory bubble drift by him. he frowns at it, but against his better judgement, he reaches out to touch it.

as he does so, it pops and this memory (until page 28) plays out. ]

[laid]

[Ah. Well that's certainly a mood dampener. But it's good in that it frees Wolf and Caitie.

Raven's quiet for a long moment, but then he just gets this sort of sad, sympathetic look on his face.]

That's the problem with being a double agent, ain't it? Even if ya try to not get attached, you always end up hurtin' people in the end.

[yamantaka]

[ shima's smile gets a little more forced as he sees that. he closes his magazine and puts it back on the table as he stretches more ]

It always seems like you can't help but care about 'em, yeah?

popcorn gif

[suddenlybees]

[ It's not like he doesn't want to help? He can't. He just stays ducked over to the side hoping he doesn't get scorpion flung at his face because then he will have to tear off his entire face. ]

You almost got it! A little to the left! Careful- it's coming around behind you!

Re: popcorn gif

[yamantaka]

Ah?! Really?!

[ SPINS AROUND AND SLAMS HIS STAFF INTO THE GROUND BEHIND HIM ]

[suddenlybees]

[ He misses by a good several feet because the scorpion's moved by the time Kano relays directions, and more than that, it scuttles towards him and 1) he does not want to be stung by a scorpion, and 2) he does not want to be whacked on the head with Shima's staff and that seems like the most probably outcome at this point. ]

H-hey! Shoo! Shoo! Go away! -—Shima!!

[ waves his arms in a "stop" but also "listen" gesture ]

We need something with more surface area than your staff! Here, toss me your shoe!

[yamantaka]

[ sorry shima is currently not present.

the only thing present is DESIRE TO SQUASH

he sees the scorpion and jumps to SMASH STAFF INTO THE GROUND ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano yells and tries to duck out of the way, but Shima's staff clips Kano on the ankle and instead of pulverizing the scorpion into a pulp, the staff gets deflected just enough to knock it around a little, sending it skittering across the ground. It looks a bit dazed and unsteady, but is coming snip snip back towards Shima with renewed vengeance. ]

[yamantaka]

[ he'd apologize in a moment. right now

WITH ANOTHER MANLY SHRIEK, the staff finally comes down on the scorpion, putting an end to it's reign of terror ]

DIE DAMNIT!

[suddenlybees]

[ There's a real nasty crunch and Kano pulls his foot out of the way and presses against the wall as much as he can to avoid getting scorpion guts all over his boots ]

-—why is it blue??

boys just wanna have fun + MEMORY REGAIN AT SOME POINT

[maidforservice]

[SO ANYWAY SHARON IS NOW BEHIND HIM PEERING AT THE GIRLIE MAG FROM OVER HIS SHOULDER, and--]

Oh dear. . . so that's what you like to see in a woman?

[there are memory bubbles floating around for whenever we are ready for memory sharing, though]

[yamantaka]

[ he has no qualms about sharon behind him, he just keeps casually flipping through the magazine ]

I love all women, honestly!

[ WHAT FLAVOR DO YOU WANT AL ]

[maidforservice]

[FOLLOW UR HEART, WOLF]

I do not see all women represented in this magazine, Master Shima.

[GIRLIE MAGS TEND TO FOCUS ONLY ON ONE BODY TYPE]

[yamantaka]

Unfortunately, these magazines tend to focus on this one time!

[ gives her a smile ]

I take what I can get here.

[maidforservice]

Well, far be it from me to take away a young man's only form of entertainment. ♥

[but she is, like. judging slightly]

Do you enjoy any actual literature of value, Master Shima?
