GRAVEYARD

[cartesio]

The other side...?

Have you started feeling at home in Cartesio yet? The town has offered you every hospitality that its citizens could think of. They love every corner of this town and they want you to feel the same. Have you accepted Cartesio into your heart yet?

Then it should be comforting to wake in your hotel room. A ceiling you have gotten used to, the warmth of a blanket surrounding you, your own breathing... and silence. All-encompassing silence.
It perseveres when you leave your room, it perseveres when you leave the hotel... Cartesio is quiet because there is nobody in Cartesio who could be making noise. It's a ghost town.

There is only you now, you think. And then, just as you've given up, a noise comes to your ears. A voice, unmistakably. It's time to follow it.

As of Week 5 you may see random objects and buildings of any size flicker. For milli-seconds they seem to glow on and off, blur around the edges, even distort a little. It only happens for a moment at a time, but it happens fairly often.

Welcome to the Cartesio Graveyard. Your character has woken up in a version of the town that is devoid of citizens, but there do seem to be a few people around. Time to explore the mysteries of the other side. For a more thorough OOC guide, we have compiled an FAQ.

You don't look like shit.

[ A touch surprising to him. He looked like shit after he died (emotionally) and was ready to fuck people up. ]

[integratedsoul]

[ Oh.... Bakugou. And what a place to meet him at, too. It's definitely better than the last she's seen him here, but that isn't saying much. ]

It's a surprise to me, too. My body was crushed pretty badly after all.

[ She's not really caught on to his real meaning yet it seems. ]

[kingbomber]

[ Indeed it is. For some reason he keeps going back here...for what are probably not mentally sound reasons, but that is neither here nor there. ]

Not what I meant.

[ He scowls, but that's not a surprise, probably. ]

I'm talking about how it looks like you don't give a shit that you just died and woke up here in a body, that for some reason still has a heartbeat. [ ... ] Someone just tell you the story already or you just trying to fake it?

[ Bakugou is bad at beating around the bush, apparently. ]

[integratedsoul]

Uh...

[ That's a huge question there, Bakugou. Cian is momentarily at a loss on how to even begin answering it. ]

More of the latter...? I suppose I just saw it coming that I'd die here eventually, so now it's weird but not too much.

[ And here is an awkward chuckle. ]

Not that I wasn't afraid of dying itself, but now it's... well, over.

[kingbomber]

What d'you mean that you'd die here eventually?

[ Did she think she'd be that easy of a target, he wonders. ]

Yeah living in that crappy town is over at the moment. Now we have to find a way back into the living somehow.

[ So maybe it's never over. ]

[integratedsoul]

You think we really can go back?

[ She is only just adjusting to being dead, what do you mean we're already scheming resurrection?! ]

Reviving isn't really possible, is it? The Sergeant may have said he can, but... even if that's true, would he do it for us?

[kingbomber]

No, I'm making shit up - yeah, of course I think we can.

[ He didn't even consider it a possibility before, but Nine died, and the Sergeant brought him back somehow, ergo... ]

How'd Nine come back then, huh? Reviving someone from the dead's possible. [ ... ] I don't think it's a power the Sergeant had on his own. I don't have anything to prove it, but whatever.

It'd probably be best to assume he's using some kind of method that's beyond just having an ability to revive the dead - just that he has something that'd make it possible. So we find out, hijack that somehow, and before you know it, our asses are back alive.

[integratedsoul]

[ There's a lot of conviction behind that rant and Cian is very easily swayed by people stating their piece with emphasis. For a moment she's just stunned into silence. ]

... you really love living.

[ That's probably a really stupid statement and she knows it, it just slips out before she can stop herself. ]

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

[kingbomber]

Fucking duh.

[ Bakugou has a life to fulfill; he wants to be a Pro-Hero and such. Also maybe bring a certain boyfriend with him and maybe Millium too. ]

I will. You can start with being around when something weird's happening over here and we're able to communicate with the others or just helping when there's some kind of plan.
