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.

[ Oh god everything hurts and he can taste blood in his mouth. His back is strangely hot? He turns around and stares at the glorious blaze that is all that's left of the stage, at the wailing and screaming that fills the air and only seems to fan the flames. ]

...And thus, the prison tower crumbles behind them as sacrifices are not longer necessary, the little girl and the stupid boy transforming into a pair of dragons to take down God Himself. The End.

[Everything hurts. Everything really, really hurts, and for a second, before it snaps back into place, she's sure something must have broken. But the taste of blood and feel of the flames isn't unfamiliar, the pain isn't unfamiliar, and the second she catches her breath, she rips off her blindfold and barrels into him, wrapping her arms around his waist and probably sending them right back to the floor.

She doesn't say anything. But she doesn't let go.]

[ Oof—

There's an inelegant grunt when the two of them hit the floor and Kano has to reorient himself to the fact that it's Hikaru and not some ghost riot trying to knock them senseless for how they butchered that play. ]


Hey! Hey, I said "The End"! Play's over!

[ How is he supposed to deal with hugs!! He has no idea what to do besides place a hand on Hikaru's forehead and make a negligible attempt to shove her off. ]

There's no post-credits heartfelt reuniting scene!!

[personal profile] heartablaze 2020-11-08 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head, but still doesn't say anything for a while. Is there anything TO say? She feels she's learned something that she shouldn't have, that he's opened some tiny part of himself only to slam the door shut and pretend it never happened.

She knows. She knows a little more, at least. Or, maybe, she just thinks she does.

What would she want said to her, if their positions were switched? What would she want said to her now, knowing what she's heading into?

...

Would she want anything said at all?

...

She lifts her head, only enough to lift a hand to press two fingers to his lips, her touch firm but her expression distant.]


...I'll help get you home, Shuuya.

Thank you.

[ Fingers to his lips, he shuts up completely. Because it's... nothing. It would have been nothing- he never talks about this, after all, doesn't really know what good it would be or what he would want out of it- and so backing off really is the only choice here. ]

Mm... mmhm.

[ No fighting her off this time. He's just sort of deer in the headlights making vague noises of agreement that's the only thing he can do without opening his mouth. ]

[She'll just nod, carefully withdrawing her hand and crawling off of him, staying a little sprawled in her seat on the ground as she looks towards the stage. The mashin just looks back. It is god now, apparently.]

I should probably tell it to stop, huh.

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-11-08 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ After making such a big deal about going out and fighting god, Kano isn't too sure about fighting flaming dog god. ]

It, uh. Looks like it's having fun? Let it have some fun.
heartablaze: (112)

[personal profile] heartablaze 2020-11-08 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I guess. Rayearth had to sleep for a really long time, so maybe they just didn't get to ever do things like this before.

[Hikaru sweetheart that is your soul beast, not your actual mashin... it's fine she's stupid.

She'll pick herself up off the floor with a wince, holding out a hand for him.]


You okay, Shuuya? I didn't hurt you or anything, did I?

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-11-08 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sometimes you take a 14 hour nap and all you want to do when you wake up is set things on fire, Kano can relate.

He takes Hikaru's hand, but just briefly enough to get himself onto his feet and then he lets go again, shoving his hands deep into his hoodie pockets. ]


No way, no way. I'm, like, the one who made us jump and everything?

[ He's going to have bruises for days, assuming the graveyard only heals fatal wounds. ]

[personal profile] heartablaze 2020-11-08 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head, reaching out to tug at his sleeve and direct him out of the stage area. Please it's getting smokey let's not just stand here, her eyes already hurt.]

I was planning on it, anyway, you just kinda beat me to it. I guess that's better, though? You could see where we were going.

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-11-08 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Half this town catches on fire in a span of two days. ]

Is it? Talk about a leap of faith, jumpin' like that when you can't see! Really, how stupid can you get...

[ Hikaru can walk, neither of them have broken bones, Kano can walk away from all of this guilt free. ]

[personal profile] heartablaze 2020-11-08 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[It's fine? It's fine. The fires reset for the pirate cove so she doesn't look entirely concerned.

Her smile just warms.]


You had my hand, didn't you? Even if it hurt wherever we landed, I knew I'd be okay.
suddenlybees: (078)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-11-08 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hikaru, please ]

That is really not how it works. I coulda, like, broken your wrist 'cause I was hanging onto it?
heartablaze: (lemon lime)

[personal profile] heartablaze 2020-11-08 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I could have done the same to you, you know.

You still did it anyway.

[She's learning, you fool.]
suddenlybees: (033)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-11-08 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Terrible. Hikaru needs to stop learning. Trade this memory for your more important ones. ]

Yeah, well... Next time, I'm jumping on my own and leaving you stranded.

[ Only one of them gets unnecessarily broken bones in this household. ]

[what important memories (:]

It's probably a way different story if Hansel had to save Gretel, huh?

[He'd have left her up there to be a dragon forever and rescued the poor cats instead. R I P.

...]


No next time, though, okay? I think that's a story I only need to remember once.
