GRAVEYARD PT. 2 - WEEK 8, FRIDAY


Graveyard
25 Eliminated

Death has never been a pretty thing, has it? Though some of you may have seen it coming, many of you have been taken by surprise in the last moments of your life.

Fortunately for you, it's not over yet.

The last thing you may remember is dying, but upon awakening you'll find yourself in what appears to be the meeting hall. Warmed by the ever-present fire, the room is empty and the voting box appears to be missing. In its place are three large panels hanging from the walls that allow the newly dead to peer into the lives of the living.

As you step out into the village, twilight has set in over the sleepy valley casting light and shadows as far as the eye can see. The same buildings appear to be here, all in the same order and with the same amenities. The sakura trees continue to bloom, the kitchen remains well-stocked, and the bell at the shrine echos. Likewise, the river flows through the village and the four elemental regions are found at the edges of the village.

The main difference, however, is the appearance of two additional huts that you don't recognize each bearing an emblem of a sun or a moon.

Make yourself comfortable. You'll be here for a while.

[His jaw is clenched, he this moment. He hates every single moment the universe and the corruption forced them to murder each other.

There's nothing he can do.

It stings the most. He was already corrupted. He killed one of his closest comrades here, why does he have to watch Shess die like this?

He answers back, but his voice is soft and tired. Even if he doesn't cry, he still-]


At the start of new week... It's not that far away.

[ It sucks, doesn't it? Futaba has been sitting here just like this for weeks on end now, watching it all come to a head like this. Maybe if she had done more.... Maybe if she had bothered to make those connections with the others.... Would it still have had this outcome? ]

Yeah. We just have to hold on tight until then.

[ and hopefully, "victory" happens between this and sunday night ]

[Val tried to make bonds with the people surrounding him, and where did it get him?

Corrupted. Ready to take on the entire universe alone, convinced he didn't need a single other soul by his side. Maybe it's an option a Valvatorez would've taken, but he wants to believe he isn't that type of person.

He has to believe in his comrades until the end. Until they're all back where they belong, wherever that may be.]


Is this what it's been like for you all this time?

[ she just nods, throat tight. ]

It's been...[ hard ] almost exactly like this.

[ sitting here, watching as they did their best against an enemy none of them even truly understood. She just wishes there was more that she could have done from here ]

[personal profile] omegathree 2019-08-02 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[His voice breaks. He coughs to try and cover it, but its still obvious.]

Every week... You're strong for continuing to watch this.

[ she tucks her face into the burrito ]

Not really........... [ at first, it was just something to do while there was no one else here. eventually, it just became habit. but now.... she's invested ]

It just made me feel closer to everyone left.
omegathree: (05)

[personal profile] omegathree 2019-08-02 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He's watching, but... it helps to talk about something else at the same time.]

Did it help? Do you think you know them a little better now?
alitaba: (15)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-08-02 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ she thinks about it a little, eyes focused on Kara for the time being. ]

Yes....? But no. It's like knowing an idol or something. You know so much about them but they know nothing about you. It's all one sided and gets really awkward really fast. [ definitely one of the reasons she didn't send out that many tweets ]

[Meanwhile, Val's gaze stays steadily on Shess. It's going to be fine... isn't it?]

I regret we weren't able to speak more while we were both alive. I think we would've been comrades.

[At the very least, their lingo is compatible. He would've liked to know more about her.]
alitaba: (06)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-08-02 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shess is up and walking EVEN IF HE SHOULDN'T BE... so it should be fine. Right? Right ]

...Really? That would have been nice.

[ It's been tough having to translate herself every other sentence. ]

I wish I got to know everyone better before..........
omegathree: (11)

[personal profile] omegathree 2019-08-02 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, so he's that type of person. A demon can take a hell of a beating, before collapsing, and Shess clearly isn't human. He's made of tougher stuff.

At least, that's what Val chooses to believe.]


You can still get to know each other better after all of this is done.
alitaba: (16)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-08-02 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope I can.

[ she's not really sure what's gonna happen when this is all over and done. if they all go their separate universes again, will it even be worth the attempt? would she still have these social links to consider? ]

I wanna get to know everyone better!!
omegathree: (05)

[personal profile] omegathree 2019-08-02 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

As long as you're willing, there should always be a way.
alitaba: (03)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-08-03 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
That makes sense!!

[ It's a better thing to dream about than.... well. Watching all of That Happening on screen. ]

[North just threw her arm.

She really is great, isn't she?]


What was your home like?
alitaba: (15)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-08-03 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ she blinks, taking her eyes off of North. blue blood??? there was an ET among them and she didn't even know?? ]

A lot more politically corrupt than this but we had better methods of dealing with it. [ their powers actually leveled up for one ]
omegathree: (11)

[personal profile] omegathree 2019-08-03 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[What? No. She's not an alien. She's three?]

Yes, we had issues in the corrupterment as well. My party and I set out to fix them.

[Val, it's literally called the corrupterment.]
alitaba: (28)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-08-03 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ THREE ALIENS??? ]

Corrupterment?? [ really?? ] How did you deal with yours?
omegathree: (05)

[personal profile] omegathree 2019-08-03 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Three years old!!!]

We overthrew the government through the traditional means.

[The Hades party beat up the President. Basically.]

[ A BABY ]

Oh, we beat up the candidate for Prime Minister before taking on a God wanting to control all of humanity. [ you know. as you do ]

Nice.
omegathree: (10)

[personal profile] omegathree 2019-08-03 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[wait.

That sounds awfully familiar?]


You too?
alitaba: (pic#13245177)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-08-03 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ she blinks ]

Yeah???

[ is this a common thing???? ]
omegathree: (34)

[personal profile] omegathree 2019-08-03 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
The god we were dealing with wanted to destroy Earth though. It wasn't exactly the same thing.

Still, this shouldn't be so common.
alitaba: (pic#13245179)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-08-03 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Gods everywhere are just like that I guess . [ she frowns. what assholes!! ]

You'd think they'd get the hint after the first 30 or so times.
omegathree: (11)

[Tsk.

He also says this very casually.]


I'm going to take over my universe.
