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?

Mm! I think that takes special talent. So even if he doesn't always use his brain in the same way that others do, the way he does use it is with good intentions and purpose.

[she's so sure of herself, for some reason]

If you are not dating, I'm a little disappointed, but I think two good people should be with each other and make each other happy. That's all.

[sadiskick]

He tries too hard to claim that he's a demon.

[ He's a terrible demon. ]

You will have to be disappointed. We aren't dating. Anyone can make him happy.

[ Anya calling her a good person is a little, uh, questionable, but Meltryllis is going to choose to skip over that. ]

[constellates]

[melt is great and anya loves her]

Hm... Then why did Asch say that you were dating? That seems like a silly thing to lie about.

[sadiskick]

Do you think someone as emotionally arrested as he is would know if we were dating or not? He saw something and misinterpreted it.

[constellates]

Ah... But the two of you are close then?

[if there was even something for asch to misinterpret!]

[sadiskick]

Close?

[ She looks thoughtful. ]

That's one way of putting it.

[ Banging someone does mean you had to get really close to them. ]

[constellates]

[haha

she has no idea]

Mm, that's good! I'm happy you have that here.

[sadiskick]

It's not quite the same here.

[ Are they banging in the graveyard? 🤔 ]

[constellates]

[stop]

Oh...? Why? Did dying make things awkward?

[sadiskick]

It's not awkward. I didn't expect him to die at the same time I did. That's all.

[ In her mind, he was supposed to stay alive. ]

[constellates]

[ . . . is that not what it means for things to be awkward]

Mm... You don't like to have him here?

[sadiskick]

[ Well. Meltryllis doesn't consider whatever her relationship is with Mammon awkward, but Anya is more than free to. ]

He shot the chandelier that landed on him.

[ She just wants that to be known. ]
