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!


1, 2, 3


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.

[ Clem already answered but Alphinaud is just watching. ]

Not too long...

[ he's kind of wondering how much of this is real ]
illomened: (oh?)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... Do you think a few more of us should join, actually? It's a bit suspicious for all of us to be here and no one to be trying to stop them.
ercnerd: (04)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2022-07-10 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right. Why don't you go ahead and join them?
illomened: (oh!)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
To make it more realistic, you know!

[HE DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT HE'S LITERALLY JUST JUMPING IN except he doesn't want to interrupt Zuko and Kaeya having a moment so he'll charge at (waves hands) some random other person who wants to be pulled into this shit instead. help]

[ Alphinaud is definitely not that person, he is just watching. ]

That was... quite eager, on his part.
ercnerd: (02)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2022-07-10 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He, too, is just watching.]

Now this is getting interesting.

[personal profile] sageguidance 2022-07-10 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you certain you wouldn't like to join in, as well?
ercnerd: (47)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2022-07-10 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Why should I bother? It's not a real fight. Just take it easy while you can.
sageguidance: (pic#15739263)

[personal profile] sageguidance 2022-07-10 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, understandable. You never know who's the type to enjoy throwing a punch...

[ OKAY WELL I GUESS SHE'S GRAPPLING SOUJI NOW

does this actually make it more realistic when the person here she'd be first to try and hit is just kaeya? ummmmmmmmmmmm it's fine. ]
illomened: (triumph)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[IT'S NOT REALISTIC AT ALL BUT IT'S FINE he's having a great time fighting SWEET CLEMENTINE APPARENTLY??? It's okay he's seen her in action he knows she can deal,,]

Oh, should we tag-team Zu-kun and Kaeya-san?!

[Said at some point during the chaos that is unfolding...]
stillnot: (pic#14286986)

[personal profile] stillnot 2022-07-10 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not letting anyone hurt Zuko.

[ is this? an act?? who knows! ]
illomened: (peek)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly good for her. He'll glance their way, though, and:]

Zu-kun looks like a skilled fighter! He'll be fine.
stillnot: (pic#14286775)

[personal profile] stillnot 2022-07-10 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
He's just a kid.

[ he is trained in martial arts and could probably kick clementines ass and also they are the same age. don't think about this too deeply. ]
illomened: (hewwo)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, is he?!

[I THINK ABOUT HOW SOUJI NEVER HAD ANY ACCESS TO THE IC PROFILES AND THUS KNOWS SHIT ABOUT NO ONE.]

He's holding up pretty well against Kaeya-san! Good for him!
stillnot: (pic#14286873)

[personal profile] stillnot 2022-07-10 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she doesn't say anything because she doesn't exactly want to insult kaeya just for The Act but

kind of rolls her eyes a little

like 'yeah and what does that say about kaeya huh' ]
illomened: ((;=▽=))

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[SWEET... SWEET BLUE HO........ YOUR LIFE CHOICES...

At least they're getting a rematch, and just in time for everyone to die again to a door! Anyway they're still just having their little mini grapple spar until Souji eventually gets rushed by the transformer formerly known as Bucky and Kaeya I GUESS.]

[ clem ;a; ]
frostythehitman: (so what if you)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-10 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WELL. I GUESS WE'RE FIGHTING NOW TOO. If Souji's throwing down, then so is Bucky! Especially because Kaeya is atop him. Technically speaking he's really just trying to get Kaeya off him, but Souji can be collateral in the process. ]
illomened: (starlight)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[HELL YEAAAAAH please know everyone who fights souji today will gain +100 in his favorites book. EVEN IF IT'S ACCIDENTAL.]

Uwah, two against one—?

[IT'S FINE HE'LL FIGHT BOTH OF THEM he's going in to brawl...]
frostythehitman: (sneering in shadow)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-10 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, except I'm the one!

[ THROWING ONE FIST UP AT KAEYA AND ANOTHER OUT TOWARDS SOUJI ]
illomened: (throw)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE BLOCKS AND IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR A COUNTERSTRIKE.]

Bucky-san!! You and I should have sparred much sooner—!

[KAEYA IS JUST HANGING OUT UP THERE?! HELP.]
frostythehitman: (well it's funny as hell)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2022-07-10 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Bucky turns around so it's Kaeya who takes the blow, then throws out a kick back out at Souji ]

Yeah? Well once I've got this giant training weight off my shoulders, then we can have a fair fight!
illomened: (°+(*´∀`)b°+°)

[personal profile] illomened 2022-07-10 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[SWEET KAEYA HELP he'll hop away before darting back in to go for another jab...]

Oh!! Consider it a promise, then! No taking it back now, you really can't!
