GRAVEYARD.
GRAVEYARD
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...
...to be super dead. No, did you think you were getting a funeral? Sorry.
When you wake up, no matter how you died, you'll find yourself all in one piece, inside of a fairly large box that upon further inspection may in fact be a coffin. However, throwing the lid off isn't too difficult, and as you step out of your own grave, you'll find yourself standing in a cemetery behind a large mansion, where an iron gate stands between you and the entrance. Thankfully, the moment you approach, dirty and tired as you are, the gate swings open, and you're allowed immediate entrance into the mansion.
The mansion itself is a little dusty, and the furnishings are vintage at best, but... hey, it's home. Why don't you explore a little?
★FIRST FLOOR.
★ On the first floor is a parlor and sitting area. On one of the tables is a phone, which as of Week 3, Saturday has a dial tone and can be used to contact hotel staff. In addition to that is a kitchen stocked with food - not to mention a large wine cellar full to the bursting with every kind of wine you could imagine. Vintage!
★ Walking down a long hallway, you'll find a laundry room with a washbin and a washboard, a few closets full of dusty old clothes, a large library, and an ornate dining room with a crystal chandelier.
Of note, the dining room in particular has a very tall wall of what look like portraits to one side. If you walk closer, however, you may notice that the portraits are moving - and appear to actually be holding black and white images of your friends (and enemies?) back in the hotel, so you can monitor their activities. That's nice!
★ At the very end of the first floor hallway is another door - this one is locked with a padlock. It has a message painted on the door.... Don't dead? Anyway, it seems you can't check just stroll in there! From the looks of it it would be ill-advised to attempt to break in. Occasionally there are muffled shrieks coming from beyond the door. Hmm!

★SECOND FLOOR.
★ On the second floor of the mansion is a series of bedrooms. Just like the hotel, you'll find a room already booked with your name on a nameplate on the door - and a portrait of yourself, as well as your hostage, hanging just above the nameplate. The inside of the rooms are simple - a bed with red covers, a desk with a typewriter, and a small bathroom with a toilet and a clawfoot tub. Provided that you didn't give your belongings away, you'll find all of them on your bed, waiting for you upon your arrival.
★ A dumbwaiter sits at the end of the hallway of bedrooms. Inside of it is a typewriter, and a golden bell labeled as Virgo's. A small sign above the dumbwaiter says: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT STAFF BY LEAVING A MESSAGE. VIRGO MAY ALSO BE SENT A TIP AND RUNG. PULL THE LEVER TO PRESS SEND. - STAFF
It seems you can reach out to the hotel staff by leaving a message or ringing the bell, though your options are limited for the latter. Sure enough, a lever in the wall next to the dumbwaiter is currently set to the "down" position. Push it to "up" and watch your message disappear.
★ Beside the dumbwaiter is one last bedroom. This room is marked with a plaque that says "Dream Suite", and has several familiar constellations decorating the door. Occasionally, when you ring the bell by the dumbwaiter while thinking of a member of Hotel Staff on the living side, the corresponding constellation on the door will light up, and you'll feel as though you should walk in. Inside, there is a line of comfortable beds. Lie down in one, and you'll have a dreamlike "in person" audience with the NPC you had attempted to contact.

★OUTDOORS.
★ Outside of the mansion is a small garage. The ground here is worn down and thin, and you can almost make out what look like railroad tracks embedded in the dirt. Inside of the garage is a rattly old car that moves along those little railroad tracks, from the garage to the mansion front, and then back all the way around to the cemetery.
★ The cemetery where you first awaken is a direct copy of the cemetery outside of the hotel - right down to the placement of statues, mausoleums, and the creepy atmosphere. Your grave remains after you wake up in it, in case you want to take a dirt nap.

WK3 - SUNDAY.
Anyway, the coffin lid moves, and an expectedly large body rises out of it.
He doesn't say anything though, just chills in said coffin. What up.
Alternatively, you can find him post-revival just kind of hanging out awkwardly somewhere if we don't wanna just talk in his dumb new grave. Like, legitimately, he himself doesn't seem awkward at all, but the vibes are Off. ]

. . . Is it you?

Is your head still bothering you? It's been a while.
no subject
[ He does remember you though, but like... vaguely... ]
Who are you.
[ Remind him, he doesn't remember anything that isn't strictly food or kill related. ]
no subject
Call me Sieghart. You passed off the circlet to me at the daycare.
no subject
You're dead again.
[ At least he's situationally aware but why must this be the thing he points out to him? ]
no subject
Yeah, I am. This time, we're in a mansion.
no subject
...
[ He doesn't seem particularly happy about being in some weirdo mansion, but something kinda weird happens, where his unhappy expression stays... and then oddly shifts into a very mild one. ]
Hm...
no subject
There should be food in the kitchen. Why don't you get out and have a taste?
no subject
[ He's gonna eat without Sieg anyway but. Asks regardless, which is an improvement. ]

Bucky leans down and offers out a hand to help him up. ]
no subject
He just sits there staring at Bucky right in the eyes.
This will last two minutesHe doesn't look expectant or anything, it's just a solid stare. ]no subject
...you good?
no subject
Both figuratively and literally because looks at my guidebook, he is apparently somehow 3cm taller girl help. ]
Who are you.
no subject
Anyway, Bucky just kind of watches this with mild confusion, that is only...slightly answered by the question. Like, cool, okay, he's got amnesia, got it. but why tho.
Also, for someone who's had a lot of amnesia himself, Bucky doesn't really know how to interact with others who have it. hmm. ]
...Bucky.
You?
no subject
But upon Bucky's question, he actually seems somewhat thoughtful. Like he's actually having to think about this.
And eventually settles for: ]
Kai.
no subject
...okay. And what's the last thing you remember, Kai? You know, before waking up here.
no subject
That bone woman.
[ There is some (derogatory) here. ]
no subject
And...before that?
