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.

That's not even murder! It's just weird!
frostythehitman: (why do i have to listen to you)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-08 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
It could also be murder!
dms: (party people postman)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Not if the Siegmond's head was already severed!
dms: (put your drama face on)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't believe you!
frostythehitman: (stern talking to)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-08 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
What would it take to make you believe me?
dms: (judgmental)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I know you didn't do it!
frostythehitman: (stern talking to)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-08 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
What does it matter?! We have to vote for somebody, and I'm literally right here volunteering for it! This couldn't be easier! Who else would you even vote for?!
dms: (not a single thought)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ looks at the thread below ]

...Jonson, I guess.
frostythehitman: (eugh)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-08 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. The cockroach is way more capable of decapitating a guy.

How do you even know voting for the cockroach will even work? If it's like a real trial, that won't even go through.
dms: (birthday boy)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe? I don't know anything about decapitating people.

Are there rules like that, though?
illomened: (shining)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-08 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I was there, actually! I saw Jonson do it.

[HELP.]
frostythehitman: (sneering in shadow)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-08 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? Well I was there too, and I saw myself do it. So there.
dms: (eh?!)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Your twin?!
frostythehitman: (well it took a lot of work)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-08 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
No. I mean, I saw my own arms in front of me doing it, because I was there and I have functioning eyes.
dms: (bloomed)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmmm.

But your aim is so off.

There are so many people with twins here...
dms: (hmmmm)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Right?! It's crazy! I never thought it was such a common thing!

[ whispers to souji ]

Do you think we should just let Bucky have this? He's really into it. Should someone do the official j'accuse?
illomened: (unsure)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-08 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[whispering back help]

What if something really does go wrong, though? Do you think we could really get away with voting for Jonson...?
dms: (oh no)

[personal profile] dms 2022-07-08 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know... If it really is like the other side, then animal companions don't count for the vote. We might have to vote for one of us after all.
illomened: (sos)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-08 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[HE JUST GOES "ERGH" with a lot of exhaustion.]

Letting Bucky-san take the fall again doesn't feel right... Aikawa-kun is going to fight him about it, anyway.

For the record, this is true.

Jonson could totally bite a head off.

[ Like legitimately Jonson is a killing machine. ]
