GRAVEYARD



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.

I was pretty sure it wasn't him, though. That's why Lammy was out when she came up, is 'cause I thought if it was a fake like I thought, I could at least fight...

I just got distracted for a minute n' turned around and... that was it.

[She's trying to pull herself back together for Cian's sake, at least.]

...yeah. Yeah, we're gonna have to. At least let her n' the others know we're kinda okay.

Yeah... we're.. surprisingly fine.

[ She remembers so much pain, more than she had ever felt before in her whole life... she'd thought that surely there would be no going back from that. But now her body's... all the same again. Disorienting. ]

I don't think any religion paints the afterlife as 'literally just the same town'...

Yeah... this sure isn't any afterlife I ever heard of.

I mean, I never paid the most attention to that kind of stuff? But when people died before, everyone else used to say they'd gone to the sky to be with Aidios, that they were watching over us from there.

Not that we'd be watching from a weird mirror.

I thought it'd just be over.

[ That's.. depressing, probably. Cian wouldn't be saying it to a child under normal circumstances, but now that they are literally proof personified of her assumption being incorrect... well, what does it matter? ]

This is.... going to take some adjusting.

No kidding...

But, I'm kinda glad for it, y'know? At least we haven't lost everything. We still got each other.
integratedsoul: (that watching you)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-11-09 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true. I'm really, really, really happy to see you.

[ Cian's been afraid of dying, terribly afraid. But now that she is dead, Millium's complete disappearance seems much scarier than her own. ]

[Millium doesn't really have the words to respond to that, but that's okay. She has actions.

And act she will, continuing to become a Cian-koala and nuzzling into her a little.]

[ Cian is fine with being quiet and just holding onto each other. One arm holds Millium close while the other gentle runs over her back. ]
