Round 4 graveyard

[foundationmods]

[When your character dies, however that may be, they will feel themselves floating. For a moment or two they will linger at the site of their death, hovering just above everyone, watching.

Then they will feel a pull and they will get tugged all the way to the studio, through a wall, through the hall, through a door.

The place they end up in looks to be a backstage area. There is an area for storing supplies, a coat rack full of empty prinny costumes, a lounge area, and a place to rest. All of these areas are marked by a green border between the described rooms and the doors that go elsewhere. You will see prinnies come and go, hurrying around as they do their work for the day. But within those borders, some of the prinnies will take off their suits, revealing the human souls within. Men, women, old, young, there is a large mix. They are all very dead, though, and seem used to being dead.

And among all of the dead is one living girl, one who seems to be running the show behind the set. She can be found giving instructions to prinnies and telling them where to put things, but she will always take time to give everyone who arrives the same warning:]

Hi there! I'm Marona, and this is the backstage area. There's a lot to do yet, so if you could help us out I would really appreciate it.

All the areas with the green on the floor are safe to be in as ghosts. Your souls won't get pulled away as long as you stay in the safe areas. If you want to go outside of there, though, you have to put on a prinny suit. And if you do that, you have to follow the rules of the prinnies: no killing anyone, follow the orders you're given by the living, and try not to blow up too much.

If you have any questions, I'll be here! But you can come and go as you like. Just don't give Mr. Dazai too much trouble, okay?

Week 2

[foundationmods]

Marona

[genkigravekeeper]

[If you need to talk to Marona, feel free to comment here.]

SUNDAY

[foundationmods]

[On Sunday, one of the prinnies will come running into the room, flailing its stubby arms.]

Dood! Site 4 is in shambles, dood! The outside people totally took over!

Week 3

[foundationmods]

SITE 4 EXPEDITION

[georgeous]

[ For this, George is even wearing a normal prinny suit instead of the custom white one. He loves his aesthetics, but he does not love risking his very existence for them. This is undercover. He's just a very normal helpful prinny friend making his way to Site 4...... Nothing to see here. ]

Tuesday

[georgeous]

[ After all of this, George scrambles out of his prinny suit and honestly just... drops to his ghosty knees, looking anguished. ]

Those... those... goddamn imbeciles... This is exactly why I don't trust them!

TRIAL

[foundationmods]

[For trial spectating!

Also, Marona will give everyone a warning:]

Don't interfere with the trial. If you give away the murderer, they'll know you're here. So play it safe, okay?

[merirut]

[It's a novelty in some ways, this thing about death. As a primal beast fated to be immortal, he's used to the idea of falling into a deep repose the moment his body is damaged beyond repair. Even if it hasn't happened to him yet in two thousand years and even if he knows the rules are different here, there's a part of him that's expecting pitch-black oblivion instead of this set-up. White wings blink out of existence when he confirms their undamaged state and a hand goes to his neck as he continues to stand there, lost in thought.]

How ironic...

[He's not really moving or doing anything at the moment, so feel free to bother him or yell at him or something.

And then sometime later, he'll be wandering off to wherever they take the corpses, standing in front of his own body. He crouches to strip off all the armor and a large, violet sword manifests directly beside him, tip pointed at the torso.

...It's honestly not a pretty sight to watch, but after about ten minutes of investigating his own body, he stands back up, looking disconcerted.]

It's not there...

Sunday Infoswap!

[arraignments]

[ He'll be going around to gather everyone up.

Once everyone is present and/or accounted for, Goro will take a deep breath and look around the group. He manages a tired smile. ]

So, it would seem we're forming quite the group on this side, after all...

[ One hand brushes through his bangs as he looks to the floor for a moment. ]

I'm sure, for some, this doesn't help with keeping hope and motivation to push forward, but... at least nobody is alone here. We have each other.

[ It might be obvious he's forcing these words out with every ounce of motivation he has. ]

So, why don't we start from the top? Let's all share everything we know, so far.

[ He looks to George. ]

Would you like to start?

Week 4

[foundationmods]

Tuesday

[foundationmods]

[On this side of things, the dead will be able to hear the prinnies chatting excitedly with each other all day. And then, come nightfall, they all are walking out of the studio in a line while singing this song.

Hm. How odd. Do you want to follow them?]

SITE 4 EXPLORATION ROUND 2: ECLECTIC BOOGALOO

[breadloaf]

[ Let's go kill two birds with one stone, shall we?

The prinnies that have yet to pay off their debts and reincarnate are probably heading back. They can probably join those going to Site 4 and snoop around.

Let's go, fake!prinny squad! ]

Wednesday

[foundationmods]

[There is a cat in the back room. The cat can't see anyone who isn't in a prinny outfit, though.

What do?]

wednesday; post game

[shortstacked]

[one minute he picks up the cookie and the next he's dead. he's actually dead and currently a ghost because that's his life now. he's just standing there in shock while trying to process everything that just happened, feel free to approach him though]

The Game

[arraignments]

[ LET'S DO THIS ]

???

[foundationmods]

[Well uh. That sure happened.

Everyone was luckily backstage, and Marona managed to get into a safe spot before the explosion went off. No double-death is on the table at the moment.

The stage area is absolutely trashed now, though. The set's destroyed, the roof caved in, and all the power has gone out.

Two new ghosts should be there with you, but where is Dazai? Hm. Investigating might be a good idea.]

[visionem]

[ That was something wasn't it. After being moderately helpful with Doezai brigade, Alcor takes up residence on where else, the house roof. Or that's what he wants to do except that's apparently not a great idea. He hasn't gotten the whole explanation yet given everything tonight was but he's sensitive enough to the ethereal that going to the house like this is a bad idea. So studio roof it is... or what's left of it. It's probably just a small island of roof or something, it's fine.

Alcor's kept himself busy with a lot of things this past week but tonight calls for a classic. Alternating between his hands he summons small embers of fire that he snuffs out and calls forth intermittently. He won't teleport away if anyone approaches, but he's not seeking anyone out yet either even though he probably should at some point. There's a lot of thinking he has to do, probably. ]

Saturday after the games and the Big Mess That Is Akira

[arraignments]

[ So... after all this?

Goro can be found curled up in a corner, face buried into his knees. If anyone tries to talk to him, he isn't responding, but... maybe touch will do it? Who knows.

Observant types could notice a tremble. And an occasional, quiet sniffle, maybe. ]

Sunday exploration?!

[merirut]

[He's not really planning anything big here which is why he doesn't really bother telling anyone about why he decided to fuck off to Site 4 for a bit, but he just wants to check on the state of things at the base considering Saturday's everything.

Mostly he's wondering if there's any commotion that indicates some sort of impending disaster for the house and its inhabitants, but he'll keep an eye out for anything of interest too.

Of course, he's not exactly trying to be sneaky here so anyone is also free to tag along or ask him what the hell he's up to.]

[foundationmods]

[There is a lot of commotion. Everyone is running around and rushing to get work done. It seems like the destruction of the Studio has set a lot of people on edge, and they want to end the game early to do repairs. But ending the game early means killing Dazai and the remaining contestants, so Mission Control is reluctant to do that.

There is a lot of arguing over what to do as well, because of that.]

Week 5

[foundationmods]

[visionem]

[ Well this happened. Alcor could tell right away that Silver was far from pleased with him, but huh he kinda underestimated how much. And ultimately that's fine, it's far from the first time he's played the villain (or been the actual villain). He might have just thought about it for a while, but that ends as soon as another prinny lands on top of him. ]

...Sandalphon?! [ He does not shout but this is the closest he'll ever get to it. ]

Wednesday Game Reactions/Thoughts

[arraignments]

[ If anyone wants/needs to react!!! ]

Week 6

[foundationmods]

Site 4 stuff

[foundationmods]

[It's time to enact the 'be nice to site 4' and 'smuggle shit to the prisoners' plans! Tag in with what your character is doing and we'll thread it out!]

FINAL TRIAL

[foundationmods]

[Y'all get to be a jury, but feel free to talk quietly amongst yourselves.]

[overconfidant]

[Prinny suit hides the expression but it doesn't entirely hide that Akira is...tense.

Then again, they all have plenty of reason to be tense.]
