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.)

[Serena is watching with a hand clapped over her mouth, nearly in tears. She thinks there should be tears, but she's too emotionally exhausted to manage it.]

We can't--do anything to stop them, can we...?
bladebender: (BORED ► yawn)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Nope.

[ Mai on the other hand, looks completely calm. Maybe it's all the murder, but somehow this literally doesn't seem to phase her. ]

In retrospect, someone really should have given Kaoru the "murder is actually bad" talk post-case.

[Serena isn't used to not being able to do things, even though it's been several days since her own death.]

Do you think--could he have meant it...? [Serena wants to hope...]
bladebender: (LOOK ► turn)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
... I think he played her for a fool, and it worked.

[ She doesn't want to say that she thinks he may have played all of them, but um. She's not hugely optimistic about it right now. ]

It's too late for Ema anyway.

They should be figuring out some way to get everyone left out. [There had to have been a better way than this. She almost wants someone else to show up and intervene, but at this point she can't see how that would do anything but make it worse.]
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  I hope this works)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
They should, but they aren't. It looks like Kouha might go in for the kill, too.

[He kind of liked Kaoru up until that point where he ended up sabotaging Malik's own assisted suicide plans. So now he couldn't give less of a damn. His mindset is as cruel as ever: if Kaoru dies, that gives Harriet a better chance to live.]

We'll be getting another visitor soon.

[ Taking a break from following Ty Lee around (which is getting even too depressing for her), she follows the sound of voices to find... this. Whatever this is.

In retrospect, they really should have expected the guy who committed mass murder to be maybe a little shady. Just maybe. Did anyone let him know that murder was bad after that "we're so proud that you murdered your abusers that was great!!!" pep talk...? APPARENTLY NOT...

She'll just be standing here with her fire flakes, watching the disaster. Waiting to see which of these idiots she'll probably be greeting shortly. ]

grand theft maya?

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Is he taking Maya's body? [This is not a good way to solve your problems, Kouha!]

Can he do that?
bladebender: (WHAT ► what)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Can he? Doesn't Maya have some way to throw him out, or...?

[ Isn't that against the rules, the dead people rules, or something. Goddamn it Kouha, what are you doing. ]
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Youmu and Austria left eventually--maybe it will happen automatically?
bladebender: (SHRUG ► w/e)

[personal profile] bladebender 2014-05-13 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
One would hope so. Kouha just striding around in Maya's body determined on surviving or whatever... [ Something EVEN STUPIDER is going to happen, isn't it. ] It can't be good.

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
What the hell does he expect to accomplish? He won't be returning to his own world if he takes her body. What a fool!!

[You were supposed to kill Kaoru, Kouha! Now the vote still needs two more people!]
vivillon: (in our brief lives)

[personal profile] vivillon 2014-05-13 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he thinks being alive in her world would be better than nothing. [Serena really doesn't know what's going on at this point...]
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  extremely mild shock)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-05-13 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
What? And channel him for the rest of her life? Somehow, I doubt that.

Kouha! [They haven't been able to communicate with the living, of course, but Kouha is dead, too, so maybe they'll hear him?] Kouha, leave Maya alone!

[personal profile] scientificinvestigator 2014-05-13 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
That's not why Maya summoned you!

[Grr grr... wait hold on.]

They can't hear us, can they?

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?
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.
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!
