GRAVEYARD

[foundationmods]

[On the instant of your death, you're suddenly outside of your body - probably staring down at the remains it's become.

Yet, you're not alone. For all of you (except Szayel), a young man appears from behind you, his face set into a firm, yet sad, scowl. His shaggy strawberry blonde hair is pretty eye-catching, along with the black and white Shihakusho he wears and the large sword on his back, even as he gently tries to lead you back into the lobby and away from what was once your body. You can still clearly hear and see the living, if you want to try - but they can't see or hear you.

'Welcome to the world of the dead in this Resort,' he says, quietly. 'Looks like you're stuck here with the rest of us.'

He hands you a tablet, just like the one you had before. "You'll need this if you want to keep talking to them,' he explains, looking sad.

It looks like you've passed on, and yet...You still feel like you have a role to play in all of this.]

[WELL, GUESS WE'RE RUNNING NOW

Though the oilbeast doesn't seem to slow down, following them as they run - and even sticking to the walls, running up to stop them before they reach the top.

Hm.]

[justonezero]

[SCREECHING TO A STOP WHILE ALSO ACTUALLY SCREECHING SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST.]

[perfeccion]

[Szayel to the rescue? He hauls ass out of the greenhouse when he hears the roar, and grabs Yoshi under his left arm. In his right hand, Fornicaras is drawn ] Back! Back you filthy mongrel! They meant no harm!

[blutsauger]

[IT WAS ONLY A FLOWER HOW DID IT END UP LIKE THIS

Medic pulls out his Ubersaw instinctively at the scream, rushing from the greenhouse to the source of the yelling. Once he actually sees the Oilbeast, though, he looks at his Ubersaw and sheathes it- stabbing probably won't do anything.

The Syringe Gun, maybe- he pulls it out and aims at the Oilbeast. He doesn't shoot yet, though.]

Leave the children alone, bitte.

[foundationmods]

[The oozing beast considers all of them, eyes glaring. It takes a step down, towards them, in silence, opening it's mouth -

And then it

uh

It sounds like a cat being mad you took it's shit.]

[justonezero]

[Oh.

Uh.]

Is this about the hairclips?

[Ahahaha.........]

[blutsauger]

... What hairclips?

[you kids were left unsupervised for like 5 minutes]

[justonezero]

I thought they were like, a key item!

[But he'll go ahead and toss them to the oilcat please stop meowing like that.]

[blutsauger]

Key item??? What does that even mean?

[He's not even mad he's just confused now]

[foundationmods]

[The meowing stops for a moment as the hairclips sink into the oil.

There's a pause, and then it goes back to being invisible, padding along the walls and heading back to it's room.

Good job, yoshi!]

[blutsauger]

[Medic replaces his Syringe Gun in its holster, relieved. He follows the Oilfriend at a slight distance.]

I, ahah, apologize for that misunderstanding there. I hope you're not too upset with the boy, ja?

[foundationmods]

[There's a meow. Well, more like a mix between a meow and a purr - and apparently that means 'we're good, bruh'.]

[blutsauger]

[Medic grins.]

Happy to hear it, my friend. Have a good day!

[From now on, Medic will try to spend a bit more time around the greenhouse, and water the spider lilies when he sees they need it.]

[justonezero]

In video games, sometimes you find important items that need to be used later on your quest to 'unlock' other areas. The most common one's a key of course, but sometimes it's stuff like a letter to the king to grant you passage, or a lost memento to get an NPC to tell you about a hidden dungeon... things like that!

[And yay, oilcat appeased.]

[blutsauger]

... This isn't??? A video game??? That's a real person- or creature- you just stole from? Who could probably have killed you?

If you're going to steal, at least make it worth the effort!

[justonezero]

Well, the rest of the resort's playing a game, so...

[No his logic is dumb he's dumb.]

Anyway, we still need to go to the storage room!

[ONWARDS??]

[dereban]

We do, but first...

[ BRACE YOURSELF FOR A KARATE CHOP ONTO THE HEAD, YOSHI ]

We're not stealing shit from the rooms ever again. Next time, just take a photo.

[justonezero]

Not the head!

[Owww.]

Okay, no more taking key items, got it!

[dereban]

This way, the lesson will stick.

[ She sighs, a little melodramatically. ] Anyway, let's go.

[justonezero]

And this time we can go a little slower...

[HE'S NOT MADE FOR THIS RUNNING BUSINESS. But off we go!]

[dereban]

Thank goodness for that, at least. . . I bet the reckless idiot brigade is going to yell at me after this.

[ guess who is also not made for running?? ANYWAY, ONWARDS ]

[dereban]

Does anyone here speak cat?!

[ BECAUSE SHE SURE DOESN'T ]

[foundationmods]

[INSISTENT MEOWING

It's getting closer.]

[dereban]

[ screeches and freezes up as yoshi just tosses the hairclips in, it's fine this is fine nothing's on fire yet

the true trauma of the week was almost getting double killed by an oil cat, apparently ]
