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?

Every day, the house reminds me more and more of something.

[ Something she doesn't like. ]

Did it have different rules for your round?

[cluedin]

Yup. We didn't have monsters or anything, but we had those announcements. It wasn't always the same though. And our round lasted much shorter than yours...but I'm not surprised the house decided to directly change you guys this time.

[sadiskick]

Does that mean the house is getting desperate?

[cluedin]

It probably didn't know how to handle having so many of you to deal with, so it went the easy route. But seems pretty desperate to me.

[ Her lips pull back in a dangerous smile. The easy way out, is it? ]

How tasteless. How would you make the house get taste?

[ She doesn't expect Shiki to have a working answer. She's just curious. ]
