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.

[Hm!!

Sumire watches the girl go with wide eyes, staring at her.]


Um... We ought to go after her, right?

[She would be more alarmed if not for the fact that 1) this girl is apparently undead and 2) cyoa/mini-event NPCs are cheaters. Surely, she can handle herself??]

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-27 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
-- oh, yes.

[WHY IS THAT AN AFTERTHOUGHT]

I suppose we should. We don't want her harming herself, after all.

[sharon she's DEAD]
siblingless: (118)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-28 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
R-Right! We don't know what would happen if she did.

[Dubiously. Can you double kill the undead? We just don't know. Either way, she's going to start moving after the little girl — who has zoomed the fuck off by now. Child, come back.]

Honestly, I'm surprised we're tasked with collecting nova over here as well.
maidforservice: (pic#14292162)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-28 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[well no one HERE can die again, mod word says so. Sharon picks up the pace to a quick trot in an attempt to keep up with the nyooming child, who is now cackling like a maniac and yelling PUMPKINS!!! at the top of her squeaky voice]

I was a bit surprised as well, but it does keep us busy. . .!

[I HOPE SUMI HAS SEEN THE BOOTYFISH]

The first week we were asked to locate the treasure. Last week, we were asked to babysit some young gorillas.

It was all very. . . [well. anyway]
siblingless: (095)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-28 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Boo, no fun.]

Huh? [Looking at Sharon in surprise, while jogging to keep up with the kid. She ain't even bothered.] Young gorillas...? How did that go?

[Just casual conversations while this tiny girl continues to run around. Is... Is she even going somewhere? Where are the pumpkins? They may or may not be going in circles around the graveyard.]
maidforservice: (pic#14338183)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-29 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's fine, Sharon seems well-practiced in holding casual conversations while she runs! also where the hell are the pumpkins. the child sure isn't running for any pumpkins. currently she is climbing a small mausoleum and screaming about being queen of the world before she jumps off the mausoleum while still holding the knife. no wonder she is dead]

Yes, young gorillas.

[they were cute!!]

And it could have gone better. Master Raven was hurt while we attempted to save the gorilla from the dangers of the temple, but he healed rather quickly, so I suppose it is of no merit.

[even tho she fussed him a little for it!!]

But the gorillas were rather charming, so I suppose all in all it was worth it.
siblingless: (119)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-29 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Raven-san was injured? [She winces, sympathetically.] I'm glad he healed quickly... Is that a trait unique to him, or will we—

[... heal just as quickly, she means to ask. Except she's noticing the small child on top of the mausoleum and gasping.]

Wait! [Nope. There she goes, living her best life. Yoshizawa speeds up in an attempt to catch the kid, but she's already hitting the ground before she gets there — and totally sticking that landing! Nice. This child is now a gymnast.] Ah...

[Slapping a hand over her chest, internally weeping.]

My heart was about to explode...
maidforservice: (pic#14338207)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-29 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ADOPT THIS CHILD AND TEACH HER THE WAYS OF RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS, SUMI]

[Sharon, on the other hand, doesn't panic at all when the girl makes her leap of faith. she lifts a hand to cover her mouth, stifling a giggle]


You're too kind, Lady Sumire. This child is a bit of a daredevil. . .

[if they could find the pumpkins maybe they could CALM HER DOWN]
siblingless: (013)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-29 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ONLY IF THIS CHILD DOESN'T MAKE HER AGE PREMATURELY.

Loudly exhaling, already exhausted.]


Um... We ought to find a pumpkin before she climbs something higher. [Her blood pressure, Sharon... She pauses for a second, though, giving her a curious look.] ... I meant to say this before, but you don't have to call me "lady." I'm sorry if I forgot to introduce myself the day we met.
maidforservice: (pic#14292157)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-29 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[the child is no longer climbing things, but she is still RUNNING. and Sharon picks up the pace a little more to catch up with her]

Miss Sumire, then. I'm afraid a maid such as myself can't help but be at least a little polite, at all times. ♥

[SHE IS TEASING]
siblingless: (109)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-29 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Miss is a little...

[Running after that child! What crimes will this child commit now?]

Really, you can just call me Yoshizawa! After all, that's my name.

[Sharon and Yoshizawa may be having different issues in this same conversation. ]
maidforservice: (pic#14292155)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-29 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . ?]

Oh? I thought you told me your name was Sumire?

[HM. HMMM!!]
siblingless: (030)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-29 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I told you my name was...?

[Said like Sharon didn't finish that sentence.

The child may or may not be trying to juggle the knife with other items now.]
maidforservice: (pic#14338174)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-29 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . um]

Sumire? Can you not hear the name I'm saying--

[wait]

[oh dear]


Oh my, it seems our charge has found some gardening shears.

[HELP]
siblingless: (016)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-29 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I—

[Well.

That's happening.

Sumire gasps and runs over to pluck the gardening shears, mid-air. How the fuck did she not slice her fingers off? A mystery.]


I'm sorry, um, would you like to go the kitchen? [Sweating at this now very offended little girl.] I'm sure we can find a pumpkin there!
maidforservice: (pic#14338199)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-29 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[blinks?? a little?? in surprise??? she might also be a little impressed?? YOU GO, SUMIRE]

Oh, yes!

[claps her hands together]

And not only will we find a pumpkin in the kitchen, but we'll also be able to make some pumpkin-shaped cookies. How does that sound?

[at least the small girl looks intrigued by this sweet-tasting bribe]
siblingless: (092)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-29 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-Yes!

[Nodding along. You go, Sharon!!]

We'll allow you to taste the batter as well. It will be delicious, we promise!

[Sumire forgot it isn't safe to eat raw eggs outside of Japan and so did this child, apparently! After a moment of deliberation, the kid nods — and runs off yelling COOKIES while waving the knife. Hm.

Softly, with feeling:]


... I forgot to take the knife.
maidforservice: (pic#14338203)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-29 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[everyone in America forgets it's not safe to eat raw eggs when it comes to cookie dough. this child is already dead a little salmonella won't kill her!!]

[Sharon watches the child scamper off with an exasperated, amused expression, before she reaches out to pat Sumi's shoulder]


There, there. We'll take it from her when she's distracted by the cookies.
siblingless: (109)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-29 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sharon, what a pal... She nods, looking truly appreciative while holding a pair of garden shears.]

Does this mean you remembered how to cook, Sharon-san?

[Hm. They should probably go after their charge.]
maidforservice: (pic#14338202)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-31 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . haha!! they definitely should. Sharon gives Sumi a secretive smile before she begins walking again. briskly, to keep up with the child]

I'm afraid I never forgot how to cook in the first place, Miss-- Yoshizawa?

[since for some reason she can't hear SUMIRE]
siblingless: (005)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-31 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[Sometimes, you just can't hear your name. It happens.]

But that day... [Trailing off, gears turning while they shimmy after the little girl — who has covered an impressive distance in a matter of seconds. Damn, child.] Does this mean you were only pretending to have forgotten how to cook?
maidforservice: (pic#14338198)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-31 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[christ do they need to pick up the pace? Sharon does just that, so now she's like. sprinting. but for some reason, she feels like Yoshizawa will have no trouble keeping up]

Oh dear, here I am, giving away my greatest secrets.

[a light tease!! also she's hiked up her skirt a bit as she runs]

But that's correct. I had lost something else that week. Something-- [. . .] Very important.

I simply didn't wish for people to ask what it was, so I pretended it was cooking.
siblingless: (092)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-31 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Apparently? Yep. Just as Sharon predicted, Yoshizawa doesn't seem to have an issue keeping up with her. Not even death has stopped her from keeping up with her cardio, apparently.]

Oh...! That explains a few things. [Teagate... resolved.] Um, I won't ask for the specifics. But I hope you were able to recover that "something" in the end.

[In the distance, the child shouts OH-- WHAT'S THIS?

Seems like someone found the gun shop.]
maidforservice: (pic#14338208)

[personal profile] maidforservice 2020-10-31 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh NO child, Sharon is okay with knives but GUNS??? EVEN SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW THSEE DAMN CALVARDIAN GUNS WORK!!!]

. . . I did. Though it wasn't as a result of my actions against Master Won that night-- oh.

[oh. oh no]

I think we should pick up the pace. . .!

[TIME TO BOLT TOWARDS THE CHILD AS FAST AS SHE CAN AND TRY TO SCOOP HER UP??? ONLY IF YOSHIZAWA DOESN'T BEAT HER TO IT. she might beat her to it? Yoshizawa is impressive!!]
siblingless: (098)

[personal profile] siblingless 2020-10-31 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's looking at Sharon as they sprint, so she isn't immediately noticing what happened until she turns her head around.]

What—? [Ah. The moment of realization.] ... Oh, no. H-Hey! Please, hold on!

[IT'S UP FOR DEBATE IF SHE BEATS SHARON OR NOT

but she sure is gunning it to forcibly wrestle a child out of a gun shop. Someone may or may not get shot at this rate.]
