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.

You...want to bribe him from the afterlife?

Mm... no, not exactly a bribe.

Rufus-san finds it important to ask for payment, or to make agreements, before giving anything. He was like that when I asked to fight back, too. Like... a final request, kind of. He's a good man, even if he's kind of prickly.

If we offer him information he can use, he might be more willing to do the same.
frostythehitman: (why do i have to listen to you)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2020-11-05 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. And what information do you think he'd find valuable?
heartablaze: (blue raspberry)

[personal profile] heartablaze 2020-11-05 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Things that he feels he can hold onto for use later, I think. Useful information that he can either use for himself or pass to somebody else. Rufus-san is like, um... a businessman, but with everything.

When we had that big virtual memory room on the spaceship, he let me see a place he knew well and ask him some questions in return for me showing him someplace I didn't wanna show anyone else. He considered that our agreement, and he got information that he considered special and I got to know some more about him in return.

He won't just do something to be nice. I mean... I don't think him killing me was meant to be nice, or even him honoring my last request was nice, in a way. I just offered to cooperate, since I knew I was dying - that was my part of the agreement - and he honored his part, which was letting me fight with him to try and regain myself. He only stepped in to kill me once I'd failed at doing that.

He's gotta have a reason to care. I think repairing the nova is a reason, though I don't know what his feelings might be if it's more personal. But I get the feeling that if we shared something specific about what's happening with the nova, or the teams, or what else is needed, even in his own team... he might think it's enough of a bonus for him to give us something in return, so he isn't in debt to us.

Does... that make sense?
