#GRAVEYARD

Well, that sucked! That might be your first thought when you open your eyes to find yourself in a lavishly decorated room with a nice, soft bed. Or maybe you’re thinking about something else, it doesn’t really matter, since the only important thing right now is that you’re alive. Sort of. You’re still dead, but you also still exist, so that’s better than nothing. Whenever you decide to leave the room to venture out into the rest of the building, you’ll find that… hm. You sure have found yourself somewhere interesting, and there are plenty of places to explore. Foods from all of the weeks prior can be found in the hotel’s kitchen, as well as an entertainment center in the next room; just because you’re dead-dead doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun while the Reaper’s Game continues. Dare you try your luck with the ice cream machine in this weird place…? Or do you explore the mysterious board game that rests on the lobby’s table? Nothing’s stopping you. You’re absolutely able to leave the hotel, by the way. As soon as you step outside, you’ll find yourself in whatever area is currently open to the remaining Players for the current week. The only thing is, in addition to being invisible to the shadowy denizens of the RG... it seems you can’t interact at all with your fellow active Players in the UG, either. Weird! But that’s okay, you’re not totally alone in this limbo-squared! There are others around who you can interact with, and you might recognize them as the other people who have been Erased during the course of the game. In fact, there’s one rather special resident of this place... it’s none other than Dahlia Hawthorne. You might remember her as Utena Tenjou’s murderer from the first week! Upon seeing you, she smirks, welcoming you to the party. “Did you really think you'd seen the last of me? Welcome to the Under-Underground—the loser’s playground, a failure like the rest of us,” she taunts, swirling the teacup in her hand with an almost gleeful look in her eyes. Then, as if to preempt whatever the new arrivals wish to respond with, she rolls her eyes and adds, “The stupid name wasn’t my choice, by the way. As if I’d choose something that dumb to preside over.” game info ☠ setting ☠ statuses ☠ ic profiles private conversations ☠ murder proposals ☠ money full nav

Not even the purgatory I was in prior to this one was this awful.

[ he reaches for the Bible...

And chucks it into his bag. ]

More trash.

[exorcismo]

[ she tries to just go back to picking up trash— but the discomfort she feels is palatable. there’s a skittish few moments of “should I or shouldn’t I” before she just

Drops the pile of cans in her arms and all but dives into his bag to retrieve the Bible. ]

You shouldn’t—

[ she dusts it off and tucks it under her arm. Old habits die hard. ]

I’ll hold onto this!

[reapertoire]

[ Jacopo should know better than to get between a sacred text and a woman of God...

All those poor cans Eleanor dropped, though. :( ]

[grano]

[ he raises a brow. ]

Never took you for a hoarder. The word of God, or rather man pretending to be God is practically worthless here.

[ shrug! ]

Wonder if there's anything valuable here...

[exorcismo]

It just feels wrong to fling it in there! It's of no consequence to you what I do with it.

[ Anyway back to it, she's crouched on the ground throwing the cans and whatever else she can into the garbage bag in her hands. ]

Something of material value is probably unlikely.. but they do say you can learn things about people from what they throw away. So if you consider that valuable then, perhaps.

[reapertoire]

[ There's an innocuous-looking box of red velvet cake mix hanging out near Eleanor's feet. ]

[grano]

[ he rolls his eyes, and ducks for the box of red velvet cake mix. ]

More trash. Even a simpleton knows thet red velvet is simply chocolate diluted with food coloring.

[ into his bag it goes! ]

Or will you preserve this as well, hm?

[exorcismo]

[ Her eyes narrow at the word 'Velvet' ]

No, you can leave that where it belongs. Though, it may be wise for you to follow that box into that bag. Birds of a feather, as they say.

[reapertoire]

[ Dang, that's cold, Eleanor.

They've gotten most of this surrounding area! Do they want to grab some pool skimmers to try and clean the pool, or will they put on some climbing gear and take care of the wall? ]

[grano]

[ he grumbles.

climbing gear it is. ]

Should you get stuck, I'm not coming back for you.

[exorcismo]

I would rather fall to my death, frankly.

[ Anyway I guess we're taking on the wall? Lets get climbing ]

[reapertoire]

[ The wall... consists mostly of gum stuck to it by shitty teenagers. Gross. But there does seem to be something up at the top that might be interesting? Better grab some scrapers and a bucket, which are conveniently located right next to the wall! How fortuitous. ]

[grano]

[ well, being the crabby bastard he is, jacopo very forcefully scrapes off the gum. there's a needless amount of force applied to the movement, like he's mowing the lawn at 80mph. ]

Whatever the hell's at top better be worth this!

[exorcismo]

[ The gum is gross, she's a lot less enthusiastic than Jacopo at this scraping business.

Honestly she's more focused on getting to the top. ]

De-gummed or not, I have no intention of using this thing after being made aware of how much slobber is on it. Also.. considering what else we've found? Don't get your hopes up.

[reapertoire]

[ Gyms are basically breeding grounds for airborne pathogens?? Good thing you guys are double dead, because this could've gotten even nastier than it already is.

Getting to the top is going to require some amount of parkour and awkward reaches. Which of them has the better dexterity score? ]

[grano]

You! You're small! Go get that!

[ he's degumming fiercely ]

[exorcismo]

[ No de-gumming? No complaints here! She rather unceremoniously drops her de-gumming supplies. She's higher up than Jacopo so if it hits him it hits him. ]

Can do.

[ So, she starts climbing. Good dexterity and speed stats to make up for how small she is. Y'know jrpg logic. ]

[reapertoire]

[ Eleanor makes it to the top like a champion! She can now plant her flag atop Mt Everest. Mt Fuji? I'm not sure which joke is more appropriate, here.

But it's not a flag awaiting her up here. Instead, it looks like some kind of crumpled paper with a neat, loopy sort of handwriting. Hm. Who threw this away. Who keeps going through people's mail in this Game.

She will also find two lollipops, still wrapped! They are cherry flavored. ]
