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.]

Comments

. . . trial spectating. . .

[dereban]

[ After slamming her hands on the nearest table angrily, she's just gonna yell with gritted teeth: ]

What the fuck?! I knew it was going to be bad, but I didn't expect this bullshit!

[diesifkilled]

...Why only 20 minutes? What do they need that extra time for?

[dereban]

[ Her teeth are gritted slightly and her hands are balled up into tight fists by her side, shaking her head. ]

I don't know. It's still a longer period of time than regular mafia, but. . . if shit happens, there's nothing we can do but watch.

[justonezero]

[Yoshi's already been pretty quiet this morning - close inspection makes it look an awful lot like he'd cried last night.

As they begin the first round of voting, he just stares, wide-eyed and mute with horror.]

[moonlightbeast]

Maybe the Lady knows the trial is a farce? The killer is dead, anyone who is voted out is going to be innocent. No point in dragging it out.

[dereban]

. . . with that kind of music? It's ominous more than anything, and I sure as hell don't trust it after she was malfunctioning and glitching yesterday.

[justonezero]

[When he speaks, his voice is quiet and distracted.]

If it doesn't matter who dies, why is she stopping them from voting for themselves, too...?

[relentlesslyonwards]

No...

[It slips out before he even properly process what he's seeing and hearing here. It was apparent something had been wrong with The Lady even yesterday, but having it manifest like this--

He doesn't even think before desperate steps take him right up to The Lady, trying to block her view of the rest of the trial. He doesn't know if he can reason with her, and he doesn't know if she can even see him, but he has to try.]

Wait, if you want the killer, then you know he's standing right in front of you, right?! The only one who needs to punished is me, so please... don't make them do this.

[justonezero]

[Well that gets him to snap out of his daze.]

Rean!

[dereban]

Don't you fucking dare double die on us, Rean!

[ She will one hundred percent grab him by the collar if he tries anything. ]

[foundationmods]

[The Lady glances over.]

You are dead. You cannot be executed again, by the rules of the game.

SECOND VOTE

[moonlightbeast]

It's- what's going on?!

[It's not stopping, that's what's going on.]

[diesifkilled]

They're going to keep going.

[THIIIIIS SUUUUUUCKS]

[justonezero]

[He's over with Makoto by now, but he just looks sick and terrified.]

[dereban]

Bullshit, clearly!

[ No, she literally has no words for this at all. ]

[messianic]

[Oh goddd he hates this so much. He's tense, just watching, hands clenched into fists.]

How long is this...going to go on? How many people are going to--

[xenoqueen]

[So anyways after she finally finishes her very important monologue about baboon hearts, Ripley gets launched into...this place.

Is it just her, or are they a lot more people in this trial room than she remembers?

She opens her mouth to speak when her vision swims and she lets out a pained groan, clutching at her chest and sitting down on the ground. She shuts her eyes, listening to the chaos ensuing when she hears Snake, which snaps her out of her nausea--]

Are you fucking kidding me? Right after I fucking died?!

THIRD VOTE

[diesifkilled]

[Two votes sure wasn't enough, by the looks of it! Yay!

Shirou's not commenting on it because he's too busy staring at Snake's charred remains. In fact, it seems he's completely unaware of anything else at the moment.]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Yeah he sure is looking at them too and he didn't really expect to have a PTSD episode upon death to be honest.]

[dereban]

[ It sure fucking wasn't!

And then Inaba notices that look and she immediately gets it and is just going to pull him into a hug even if he might wind up being unaware of that, too. ]

. . .You don't have to force yourself to watch anymore, Emiya.

FOURTH VOTE

[xenoqueen]

[...]

Great. This is literally the exact opposite of what I wanted.

5th vote

[bladeisme]

[Ichigo's been here from the beginning, but -

He's just. Silent, watching all of this.

Even Owain's reveal doesn't do much to make his expression change, as he just looks....tired. And blank.]

....Gabe, you moron.

Just - stop this already.

Please.

SIXTH VOTE

[dereban]

. . . I feel like this trial has been going on for years. . . Christ.

[ At this point she sounds so drained, but she is still watching this chaos even as new ghosts pop out with each vote. ]

EIGHTH VOTE

[messianic]

[HEY HEY WHOA.

He's not happy about this either but--]

Don't hurt him, wait--! Leave him alone.

[He's not happy Akira's trying to sacrifice himself, but can we not beat him up???]

FINALE

[justonezero]

[Yoshi's just a sobbing pile on the floor. Congrats on your new ghost existences??]
