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.

[ Wow! Maybe that lighter was used for innocent things, like removing stickers?? At work, we use lighters to remove labels off pill bottles.

Good luck ramming into Kano when he's got ??? pounds of flaming dog-wolf-soul-thing on top of him still! ]

[There is a whole-ass wolf on top of him and Hikaru is so tired. Vezda screams, and like clockwork, the wolf's haunches rise in anger as it lifts off its seat from Kano to instead straddle over him, the entire top of its body instantly setting alight with a fully bared snarl at the charging Bucky. At the same time, little limber Hikaru is pressing that mop down to force the pole against Kano's neck as she slides in the space between him and her mashin, both hands pressing the mop handle down on either side of his neck to keep him right where he is as she stays pancaked on top of him, stomach to stomach in an awkward little heap.

Her eyes, however, stay on Bucky.

Fight the wolf lion so that you can kill a child, Bucky, it's your destiny.]

[ --oh. Well. Once again the dog's got it covered. Fucking fine, I guess, you greedy bastard, you got dibs this time. But he's still furious and he can't just not do anything about it.

So he just. Stomps over to a corner of the shop that isn't on fire, tense as humanly possible, and roars furiously as he starts throwing a tantrum: punching a hole in the wall, tearing down racks of clothing, ripping apart display furniture...

HE JUST NEEDS TO DESTROY SOMETHING, AND IF YOU WON'T LET IT BE KANO, IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE THIS ]

[ I'm literally crying over this thread AAAAAAAA

Anything that Kano had planned is singlehandedly thrown out of his mind when he hears Vezda roar. Holy shit. He's snapped.

There is a very distinct memory of this happening during tutorial trial?? But maybe that was also a fever dream, like this one feels like.

Okay... okay. He will lie still and behave. Hikaru is probably light enough that he can toss her right off, but right now, she is the only thing standing between himself and the force of nature that is Vezda and he does not want to get caught up in that, thank you. ]

[The dog ain't moving, staying overtop both Hikaru and Kano as Bucky goes on his rampage. At the moment, it is a meat shield. The handle isn't pressed any firmer into Kano's neck, at least, so he should be able to breath just fine - it's more something to keep him pinned where he is.

She keeps her voice low as Bucky continues to be a screamy angry chad-karen-nightmare mess.]

Please stay put. Okay? I won't let him hurt you, but only if you don't run.

[A beat, before she sighs and pulls the still-tied tie off Kano's neck, a careful touch with the rotten red mark it leaves behind.]

You really need to stop doing such stupid stuff or everybody's gonna really get the wrong idea.

[ that's fine, you two

Vezda will continue to be here wrecking shit.

Although uhhh the fire is spreading now, from the clothes Vezda was checking out to a wider selection and even the walls a bit. But that's fine. Take your time, kids. ]

[ The entire building is on fire and they're all going to burn alive inside and here Hikaru is asking him not to flee for his life. ]

Sorry, but I got a role to play.

[ At least he doesn't get up and bolt; he stays right there lying on the ground, where there is more oxygen and less smoke. ]

Careful, there, Vezda! Keep it up and you're not going to have even those booty shorts left!

You can't play it very well if you're getting killed, you dummy.

[Oh yeah it is kinda smoky in here, huh.

Time to take Kano by the ear.]

With me. [And then, raising her voice very sharply:] Vezda-san! Outside!!! We can talk to the leaders for your clothes later, okay? Just run!!

[Gonna scramble to her feet, still with Kano by the ear. Come on, noodle boy, we gotta watch your mistakes from a safe distance that is Not Inside The Fire.]

[ Vezda grunts, frustrated that his tantrum hasn't really helped him feel better at all. But he recognizes that if he stays, he'll burn in here too. So he gives a clothing rack one last kick before he runs out after Kano and Hikaru. ]

[ He's not getting killed? He cannot technically get killed. And neither can Vezda, so he """accidentally""" knocks over a clothing stand on the way out the door so it falls in front of the door, whoops, is that in your way? sure is bad timing with the roof collapsing just now! ]

[oh my god

She WRENCHES Kano's arm as she abruptly does an about-face at the crashing behind them, the sound of the roof falling--

Congrats they are going right back into the fire, one hand tightly on Kano's wrist while the other scrambles for the rack. You asked for this, Kano.]

[ for fUCK'S SAKE KANO--

Vezda channels all his homicidal rage into getting rid of the clothing stand obstacle, flinging it aside violently and kicking the door open with such force it flies straight off its hinges. (Hope it doesn't hit you on your approach back into this mess!)

He's just at the doorway when the roof finally falls in, so he gets out safely, but only with a plume of fire and smoke and debris shoving him out with the force of the collapse. ]

[ Wow! It was an accident! Kano nearly dislocates his arm and almost breaks his nose on the door flying at his face and then there's ALL THIS FIRE RIPPLING OUT AT THEM??? HIKARU WHY DID YOU BRING HIM ALONG, HE IS NEGATIVE HELPFUL HERE ]

[i rolled a fucking TWO so

yeah she just got steamrolled by the door, down she goes

kano is now free to run, because she's being smacked backwards by A Door On Fire, head over heels across the town street as the door scatters off in one direction in a shattered mess while Hikaru is slammed the opposite way, crashing to a stop against the front of whatever building is across the street.

Her mashin whimpers in pain, but it seems very pleased at the roaring fire so it's just chilling in front of the new bonfire they just made, gingerly lying down.]

[ well. at least they are all out of the fire now.

Vezda has been pushed to the ground from the force of the collapse, so he just. Lays there for a bit. Appreciating that he's not on fire.

From his position, though, he can see Kano. And he just glares at him and spits out, sounding not just angry but also upset: ]

Fuck you.
