GRAVEYARD

THE GRAVEYARD

No two deaths are ever quite the same. Some might remember the exact moment their lives were cut short; others might only see a blinding flash of light; the particularly unlucky ones might not recall any details whatsoever.

No matter how it ended up happening, though, all of you here will always have one thing in common: one second you're dead; the next, you wake up to find yourself in a dark room. Before you can even start to try and get your bearings, a shadowy figure appears in the doorway of your room, face lit from the bottom up by a faint, almost ethereal glow. It stands still for a few seconds before murmuring,

"Oooooh... I see dead people."

... The voice is followed by a snicker as a gloved hand flicks the light switch on, revealing the mysterious entity to be Pumpkin, the fox-eared groundskeeper. Lowering the game console that had illuminated her face, she continues, "That one never gets old. Anyway, hey, sup, you're dead, that sucks, the house is probably gonna eat you as soon as this round is over. Wanna see what everyone else is up to on the other side?"

As you take in everything the gardener has told you, you suddenly realize as you look around... though you don't see anything, why does it feel like this place is already crowded?

I'm not causing a commotion when we have a chance to receive some answers.

[ Pointed. Like her legs.

Disregard how she just kicked him in the head and how these answers may or may not be reliable. ]

[getdrekt]

Hah. Who knows how reliable their answers are? They're just ghosts of participants, like us!

[he says it as he gets up, dusting himself off.

but he doesn't say anything about the kick?]

[sadiskick]

Anything we can glean from their experiences is better than nothing. If there are any patterns or trends, then it counts for something.

[ Well, if he doesn't want to comment on her violence, she's not going to bring it up since she thinks she's in the right. ]

[getdrekt]

[violence is often the answer]

With a grain of salt.

I'm not taking anything they say as law.

[...]

Next time, ask, or I'll retaliate. I'm not your precious boyfriend.

[sadiskick]

Who's my precious boyfriend?

[ She's never said anything of the sort. ]

Why do I need to ask when you didn't ask him?

[ Don't be a hypocrite, Asch. ]

[getdrekt]

Shouldn't I be asking you?

["melt can i punch your himbo hunny in the fucking face? ok thanks"]

[sadiskick]

[ what is that dialogue

She looks at Asch like he lost a screw somewhere. ]

Why? He's his own idiot.

[getdrekt]

[that gets an actual bark of a laugh.]

Hah.

As long as you're aware of your own partner's failings.

[sadiskick]

[ Thanks for laughing, but

??? ]

Who's supposed to be my partner? Why are you calling him that?

[getdrekt]

You two.

Are you not still sleeping together? Or do you devour partners that quickly?

[sadiskick]

[ She laughs. ]

Does he look devoured to you?

[mammoney]

[LOOKING SHOCKED OVER HERE, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE HEARD OF BEING ANYONE'S BOYFRIEND]

[getdrekt]

[he stares.]

Are you really that dense?

[...]

Hmph. I suppose I've answered my own question.

[mammoney]

Boyfriend...?

[HE'S LIKE. LEGIT CONFUSED]

Sheesh, man, you don't need to insult me for somethin' like that!

[getdrekt]

[???????????????]

Are you two not partners?

[mammoney]

Partners? Are you an idiot? She's totally plannin' on eatin' me up if I don't watch my back!!

[LIKE COME ON, ASCH, LOOK AT HER]

[getdrekt]

Hardly surprising. She has "man eater" written all over her.

[he says it coolly, with some satisfaction]

Why would you even gamble?

[constellates]

[someone has INCREDIBLY SELECTIVE HEARING and totally missed the part of trial where everyone found out mammon and melt banged because she was away on investigation

good stuff]

Mammon and Meltryllis are together? Dating? Поздравляю! Congratulations!

[sadiskick]

[ ??? ]

There's nothing to congratulate.

[constellates]

[what!

and to melt, she will specifically gossip in Russian so the boys can't understand]

Nothing...? Are you not happy together? Did Mammon make you unhappy? I'll tell him that's bad!

[mammoney]

[WHAT]

W-where the hell did you get THAT idea??

[constellates]

Boyfriend and girlfriend should be happy together.

[easily]

So be good to each other.

[getdrekt]

They're certainly together.

[he can't help but twitch a smirk at Anya's reaction, now that he's talked to both of them.]

[mammoney]

Don't tell her that!! She'll get the wrong idea!!

[SPREADING LIES, ASCH????]

[constellates]

[she just hums happily]

Good. It is nice to have some happy news in this place.
