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.]

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. ]

[justonezero]

[The floor is nice.]

[duskhound]

[Okay then, this time it's my turn. To head over there and hold a hand, I mean.

...And also maybe do the headpatting thing. Yoshi said he liked that, at least?]

[justonezero]

[It does get him to look up sharply, all tears and shakes.]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry--

[He couldn't do anything.]

[duskhound]

It's fine, it couldn't be helped. It's not like things were going to change if someone else got voted up, and I mean... I was disposable from the start. It's not like I haven't died before, either...

[justonezero]

[He just quickly shakes his head.]

N-no... no one is. That's why this is so-

[He has to stop to breathe. He can't do this. He just can't.]

No one here should have died.

[He understands that with alarming clarity now.]

[duskhound]

That's true... No one here should have died.

[It would be nice if that were possible...]

[justonezero]

[He just falls silent, or at least, as silent as sobbing can be.]

[duskhound]

[Yeah, she'll just. Keep up the head-rubbing as long as she can.]

It's fine, it's fine. It's not over yet, I'm sure...

[moonlightbeast]

[he's going to come up and put an arm around her. Because as drained as he is, she looks like she could use a hug.]

[dereban]

. . . thanks, Atsushi. This week has been a fucking lot.

[ She's looking exhausted in ways that she's felt before and while she's doing better than the beginning half of this crap, she's also just. So drained. ]

[duskhound]

[And guess who finally died? Yes, Ellie is here and... for some reason her pupils are stars now?]

This can't last for much longer... Can it...?

[dereban]

I don't know. The Resort might be too broken for it to stop until he's out, and the Outsider-- Gabe-- is a fucking moron.

[duskhound]

I mean, I already knew that, but... At this point, he's really our only hope...

[She just kind of... Sighs loudly at this. This situation is really really bad...]

[dereban]

The fact that we're relying on a moron to save our asses is the absolute worst. Ichigo is honestly really wrecked by all of this shit.

[messianic]

[Minato is also just kind of.

Lying on the ground.

He's staring at Makoto and Akira, mostly, but he just looks exhausted.]

Re: SIXTH VOTE

[diesifkilled]

[Shirou's putting his hand on Akira's shoulder for a bit because he's a dumb. But after that

the floor sure is nice.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Throwing a concerned look her way.]

I'm not going to tell you to stop if you feel like you need to watch, but... don't push yourself, okay?

[dereban]

[ There's a bit of a shaky breath that leaves her. ]

I'll be fine. Besides, I want to at least try and support as much as I can. It's the only thing I'm able to do. I don't... I don't want to feel so useless.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[As tempted as he is to correct her on some points... she's not wrong. All of them are, in fact, and it's because he understands that frustration and anxiety that he can't bring himself to say anything else.]

...Alright. But just remember it won't do anyone any good if you end up exhausting yourself by the end of this, too.

[dereban]

Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm not going to be the one fucked up about all of this.
