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.

[ While struggling to get this fucking stoat weasel thing to stop furiously climbing Vezda like a tree: ]

Wait. I know all the people on Wolf's team--or, well, all the ones who were alive as of last week. Who the hell killed twice from our team?

[maidforservice]

[primly]

Miss Ange.

[frostythehitman]

Ange? And she killed twice?

[ ...yeah, he's having trouble processing ]

Her?

[maidforservice]

Heehee, yes.

[SHE DOESN'T SEEM BOTHERED. in fact she seems. . . impressed? fond?]

There is much more to her than what meets the eye. I cannot help but be impressed by her.

[frostythehitman]

[ you are. kind of weirding him out right now, sharon. ]

Apparently. I wouldn't have figured someone so small and timid could've killed twice.

[maidforservice]

[:)?]

I believe Miss Ange is hiding much more of herself from us than everyone believes. I saw a bit of it myself before I was killed.

[back when Ange, somehow, managed to not go under in poker despite pretending to be a total novice. . .??]

[frostythehitman]

You guys can still see what's going on with the living now, right? Looks like I'll have to keep a closer eye on her now.

[ not even for any real purpose, really. he just HAS TO KNOW MORE. ]

What'd you see?

[lionson]

Ange. But don't go telling the living, ok?

[frostythehitman]

Holy shit. [ he's having trouble wrapping his head around this. ]

Why the hell not?

[lionson]

Because from what I heard, there was some big crusade to 'track down Yoshizawa's killer' the week I died. Which is what we don't need right now, revenge killing won't help.

[frostythehitman]

...yeah, there was. Everyone wanted to find the person who did the uglier, more brutal murder.

What's that got to do with it, though?

[lionson]

Yoshizawa didn't want her found, because she was worried about people going out for revenge.

[frostythehitman]

....wait. You're telling me she killed her?

[siblingless]

My nova was splintering, and... she may have singlehandedly saved Wolf-san's team. Raven-san and I agree that she oughtn't get in trouble for doing as she was told.

[frostythehitman]

....wait.

Ange is the one who killed you? She's the one who managed to hack your head off?

[siblingless]

[... TOUCHING HER NECK, SUDDENLY UNCOMFORTABLE.]

Y-Yes. Though, that must have happened after I was already dead.

[frostythehitman]

Well thank Christ for that at least.

...what's it like, having your nova splinter? I haven't seen it or experienced it at all.

[siblingless]

Carré-san.

[Casually. This is just a thing Ange has done.]

Does this mean you're on Wolf-san's team, Vezda-san? We need to know who else is on his team, if you're willing to share with us.

[frostythehitman]

I am. I was? Whatever. Yes, Wolf.

...what do you need to know the rest of them for?

[siblingless]

Too coordinate our efforts, Vezda-san. If one of them killed and we don't know their teams, we can't ascertain which teams have met the conditions. I promise, sharing with us won't get anybody in trouble.

[frostythehitman]

The conditions to...rescue all the dead. Right.

[ sighs ]

The other Wolves are Ange, Lup, Yona, and Rufus. Plus Cater and Shiro, but we couldn't really confirm those since they died before we figured each other out.

[siblingless]

[....................... AH, SHIT.]

Wilde-san is...? [WHAT??? She glances at their resident Wolves, sweaty.] But, the PHS didn't flash. Did it stop working after the second kill?

[frostythehitman]

No clue. Mine only ever flashed once, after Shima was executed.

[lionson]

And there's no chance anyone was fibbing or anything?

[frostythehitman]

Maybe? I don't know. Yona sussed us all out and gathered us. She told me Wolf gave her a hint I was on their team by saying that one of her teammates had "a metal arm." But I don't know how she found any of the others.
