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?

One letter from all of us, then? Or...?

[ WOW Phoenix is a h*mestuck ]

Ah, then maybe they'll like you a little less when they find that out.

[ why is this a thing.

He's going to keep walking until they eventually wind up in the public restroom to gesture for Phoenix to go in. ]


Might want to peek at yourself first before the rest of the house.

[ Those feathers and whatever else is happening with his birdsona ]
slobjection: (when it comes to)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't think they liked me too much to begin with.

[ phoenix really underestimates how well he's liked by people tbh ]

Hmm....?

[ stares at his hair. ]

Never thought I'd say this, but... it's both too spiky and not spiky enough.

For an ex-lawyer pianist, you certainly miss some obvious things. You left a large hole on the living side.

[ Tsk tsk Phoenix.

Just going to watch him with keen interest cause are those feathers? ]
slobjection: (not worth it)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ is it dazai's imagination, or does phoenix look guilty for a second? nah definitely imagination. ]

[ he plays with his hair.... ]


Well, that's new.

[ they are feathers but on fire so don't burn your paw paws ]

[ He better look a little guilty. He made Ken sad. ]

Maybe the house decided you should be part fire bird after that trial.

[ There's a hint of amusement in his tone. ]
slobjection: (when it comes to)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's not his fault he got murdered?????? he is beating himself up a lot though ]

That trial..?

[ there is a joke to be made about horny crimes and hidden dragons but i'm going to stop myself ]

With all the fire coupled with your name, people did wonder if it was a fire bird that did you in.

[ they connected the dots ]
slobjection: (a prestigious and lucrative vocation)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ phoenix continues to look tired. ]

I worry.

They got to the right conclusion at the end. [ A beat ] Or are you worried about turning into ash at the end of the week.

[ Isn't that what fire birds do? Go more and more on fire before they bite the dust and become an egg. ]
slobjection: (when it comes to)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The latter.

[ it is not the latter. ]
shortfornow: (13)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-03-24 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ worried about both is valid

Curling a fist under his chin as he inspects Phoenix with a serious expression. ]


I'm not taking care of you if you turn into an egg.

[ Maybe he can trick Asch into doing it. He's hot headed enough that he can probably hatch an egg. ]

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
How cruel.... and here I needed a tender soul to help hatch me.

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-03-24 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks like you're out of luck. Tender isn't in my dictionary.

[ So you get angry and overly concerned. ]
slobjection: (is runnin' up fees)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
What about your secret softer side...?
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (9)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-03-24 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
What secret softer side? It doesn't exist.

[ Just wait until he finds out Dazai sleeps out in the ballroom by the screen ]

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh really....?

[ he will tease ]
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (Default)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-03-24 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Really really. You'll just have to see for yourself.
slobjection: (don't be a lawyer!)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-24 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
My bird life is in your hands....
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (11)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-03-26 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure you want to trust your life to the mafia?
slobjection: (so i set off on a journey)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-03-26 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems like I don't have much of a choice....
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (10)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-03-26 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll write up a contract later then.

[ It's hard to tell from his expression if he's being serious or not. ]

Are you done admiring your feathers?
