the graveyard

the graveyard




You wake up in your bed. At first, it might not seem as though anything has changed...until you try to leave the room. You'll quickly discover that while you can phase through the interior walls of the building, you can't open doors, pick up objects, or alter the environment in any way. Worse, the only people who can see and hear you are your fellow ghosts; to everyone else, you may as well be so much empty air.

That said, there are still a few other things you can do besides just observing those who are still alive. You now have the ability to conjure any food, drink, or reasonably small object out of midair, although anything you conjure will go unnoticed by the living inhabitants. More interestingly, there is now an intricate iron door embedded in the wall of the main room that you're sure hadn't been there yesterday. If you open it, you'll find that at long last you've exited the building...and the world outside looks quite familiar.

In fact, it's your world. Though...it might not be exactly how you remember it when you left.

You won't be able to get far in the area before you feel some kind of barrier preventing you from taking another step, but it's enough for you to know that something has Gone Terribly Wrong. Perhaps it's the bombed-out shell of your building, or the monsters screeching nearby, or the corpses of your army scattered on the ground; whatever the situation is, it's clear that you would have been in grave danger had you still been back home. Luckily, your ghostly status is still in effect even here; while there may be danger still lurking about, none of it will be able to affect you.

The building behind you has taken on a translucent, almost insubstantial appearance; only the iron doors remain as solid as ever. You can simply open them again to return to the cat's domain.

(OOC: Here's how this will work! Whenever someone new arrives to the graveyard, the world outside will change to their canon's world. We'll leave the exact location and situation up to you to describe; the only thing that matters is that it should be clear your character would have been in enormous danger had they been around. Everyone in the graveyard will be able to explore the area, which will at maximum be around the size of a large ballroom; you'll be able to see things outside the area, but you won't be able to take another step forward. You can interact with the setting, but you won't be able to affect anything living, and anything that might pose a danger such as bullets will pass right through you.)

I see...

[Well that narrows down nothing]

Everyone else is in the greenhouse, you should go.

[And Youmu runs past. It's not difficult to guess that she'd going to find Yuyuko]

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I'm on my way there.

[Ema continues her journey to the greenhouse, hoping that things haven't gone totally wrong...]
vivillon: (we've managed to meet)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Right--Maya can do that, ri--ah! [Yuyuko's dagger startles Serena. It looks like a new challenger approaches.]
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  I hope this works)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it's only because he's glad to finally be close to getting rid of us.

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Wait hold on, is he implying what she thinks he's implying...]

He said it was going to help everyone!
hakurouken: (✿ !?)

[personal profile] hakurouken 2014-05-13 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone!

[And almost as soon as Yuyuko shows up Youmu dashes into the room too. She had left a little after the start of Kaoru and Ema's meeting and seemed a little lost when she noticed one less face in the room]

What happened?

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Ema's also startled, and before thinking she shouts:]

Don't hurt Maya, Yuyuko!

[And then a pause and a sigh.]

This would be easier if they could hear us...
vivillon: (we've managed to meet)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Kaoru convinced Ema to let him kill her, Maya summoned Kouha to try to stop it, Kouha's in Maya's body right now, and--well, Yuyuko's just walked in.
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  do you trust me?)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
And you believed that?

[He knows she did, but he'll act condescending about it anyway.]

Just like everyone else, I'm sure he only wants to help himself. All killing you did was dwindle the number of deaths needed to two.

Stupidity happened.

[ Shit got real and it got real fast and it's still getting even realer. ]
vivillon: (a world where all can be free)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, looking frustrated and concerned all at once.] We haven't really had anything to do here, and there's no way to interact with anyone except through Maya.
hakurouken: (✿ !?)

[personal profile] hakurouken 2014-05-13 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
I know about Kaoru and Ema and Yuyuko but Kouha?

[She looks between the three of them and knowing how attached Yuyuko had been getting to Kaoru and how she and Kouha had argued before did not fill her with hope]

Oh no, this is bad!

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[She's only a high school student how was she supposed to know?!]

I-I...

[And there's the horrible realization that Malik might, in fact, be right.]

Not everyone's selfish, you know!

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't stupid!
hakurouken: (✿ Uh no...)

[personal profile] hakurouken 2014-05-13 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, well I knew that much.

Where's Mr. Ren?

[Please don't be channeled please don't be channeled please don't be channeled]
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
It was already bad. It's worse now. [She's definitely decided, she doesn't want anyone else walking into the greenhouse.]
bladebender: (SIGH ► the lord is testing me)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think he cares. [ Mai watches the Pokeball sail through Maya/Kouha's head. She would throw a knife at her/him if she thought it would help, but. ]

It's frustrating that we can't do anything. Just watch and wait for them to do something even more idiotic.
bladebender: AND IT TOLD ME YOU SUCK AZULA (TALK ► I LISTENED TO MY HEART)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, sure, it was heroic and brave and all that. But still stupid.
bladebender: (BORED ► nails)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Maya channeled him. He doesn't appear to have any intention of being unchanneled.
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  I'mma let you finish but)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[That's not much of an excuse when he's barely older than her!]

No, not everyone. But can you explain his plan to me? Because even listening in on that... I don't see how it would have helped anybody.

[Go ahead, prove him wrong. But after seeing Kaoru's cabinet, he hardly puts manipulating Ema to her death beyond him.]
hakurouken: (✿ Uh no...)

[personal profile] hakurouken 2014-05-13 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I don't mind if Kaoru ends up here but...

[But she knows a fight when she sees one and considering Kouha's powers from last time]

Mr. Ren can't fight her like he did in Maya's body can he?
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. [She's not really clear on how Maya's channeling works.] How strong is Yuyuko...?

[Serena knows a fight when she sees one, too, unfortunately.]
hakurouken: (✿ !?)

[personal profile] hakurouken 2014-05-13 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
But that's impossible isn't it? She could only channel me for so long, isn't it the same?
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a good idea, but maybe he's desperate?
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  suspicious)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Desperate and stupid.

[Malik's judging hard.]
