GRAVEYARD ✨





POPULATION: GHOST TOWN



You die - and then you wake up.

For a second, it feels as though you can't breathe, and then your head breaks the surface. You crawl out of a pool of blood and into a large, crystalline room. Moving images play across the crystal walls, and if you watch close enough, you'll realize that you're seeing the land of the living; a familiar space station with familiar faces. You can watch these images for as long as you'd like - there are several very large benches (as in, you have to climb them to sit on them) around the room for you to rest on while you do.

Regardless of how you died, it seems as though you're not quite gone completely. You're in one piece, at least. That's good news. However, your surroundings are not exactly what you remember.

When you exit the first room, a bleak, empty city sprawls out ahead of you.

The city itself is large. The framework of it seems to tower higher and higher than you can see, up into the black opal sky that shivers and curls every so often. A river entirely made of blood runs through the city, winding around buildings and ending at the crystal room. The most noticeable thing about the buildings themselves is the fact that thorny vines made of pure white steel dig into the walls and floor, cracking the foundations.

The residential building is worn down and old. It's two floors, and has a few small studio apartments built for one or two people to live in. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. It has a communal area downstairs, but the TV is broken, and the couches are torn apart. Sometimes, this building feels obscenely hot in temperature, and smells like rotten eggs.

The grocery store is your typical convenience store. There's a large selection of food in this area, but it all tastes the same - like chalk. On top of this, every so often there will be bloodstains on the walls, the floor, and the displays. They change in size and location, each time you enter the store.

The clothing store is thrifty in nature. All the clothes here are uncomfortable and scratchy, and don't fit quite right. While you're here, time feels... weird. Distorted, almost dreamy. As you're picking out clothes and trying them on (no money needed, just take what you want), you swear you can hear a gunshot in the distance.

Enjoy your time in this city, and remember...your story isn't quite over yet.

If you'd like, I can try and steal one of them away~

Or we could make them jealous~
holeful: (That line never gets a laugh)

... It doesn't matter, since Omi's dead now.

[He just looks disheartened.]
brightred: (My information's just not going in)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Well the, you won't mind if I have him~
holeful: (Later; I was given some mescaline)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Just because Gojou isn't here doesn't change the fact that they're dating.

[GENERALLY DYING DOES MEAN THAT YOU RIDICULOUS MAN?]
brightred: (30)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
So you don't mind.

And even after I took you to my bed...
holeful: (I am homeless; I am gay; I have AIDS)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
You're the one threatening to take Omi, you don't get to bring that up.

[SLIGHTLY TERSE.]
brightred: (25)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Really, you don't know anything about women.

If I say "maybe I should sleep with another man", you should do something to make sure I don't.
holeful: (Why do people shush animals?)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like we're dating?
[OR ARE THEY?]

And I'm saying you shouldn't try to take Omi because he's still dating Gojou.
brightred: (58)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Really, do you think I'm the type of woman who spills her secrets and goes to bed with just any man? [yes. she is.]
holeful: (John Mulaney) (Default)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[..........]




I'm just saying to leave Omi alone.
brightred: (8)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I suppose I have no reason to listen to any of your requests, do I?
holeful: (Later; I was given some mescaline)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Aren't we friends?
brightred: (8)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
... you're a cruel man, using friendship against me!
holeful: (It is 100% easier not to do things)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He's increasingly distressed??? He does not understand what he is doing wrong.]

You're the one who started it by threatening to take Omi away?
brightred: (56)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
So? He's an attractive man, and he's going to be here. Can't a girl enjoy herself in the afterlife?
holeful: (He was a man most aquainted with misery.)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't you just say you weren't the type to go to bed with just any man?
brightred: (58)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, I said I'm not the type to tell my secrets to just any man. I'll go to bed with whoever I want.
holeful: (Later; I was given some mescaline)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
... Can't you just tell me what I'm supposed to say?

[HE GIVES UP IT'S SLOTH WEEK FOR HIM.]
brightred: (11)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[no she can't it's despair week she has to make her life worse!!!]

Of course not. What's the point of just telling you what I want you to say? I could say that to myself!
holeful: (College was like a 4 year gameshow)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Because I'm not good at this sort of thing but I don't want you to be mad at me?
brightred: (8)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Then you should get better at it. It's not my job to tell you how to act!
holeful: (Now I get to say "my wife")

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
... You being with Omi would be just as bad for me as Omi and Gojou dating.

[HE WILL TACITLY ADMIT HE WAS JEALOUS AND ALSO SAYING HE WOULD BE JEALOUS IN THIS HYPOTHETICAL.]

When it's two people I like... it's a lot harder to bear.

[Hm.... he's stupid.

She'll switch tactics, turning away and pouting a little, toying with her hair.
]

But you can't expect me to be all alone... I know I'm supposed to indulge in despair, but I don't want to despair that much.
holeful: (I am homeless; I am gay; I have AIDS)

[personal profile] holeful 2021-03-07 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Why would you be alone? Do you not want to be with me anymore?

[Grell he is so stupid.]
brightred: (29)

[personal profile] brightred 2021-03-07 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
But if I'm with you, and you're with everyone, that's not very fair to me. Really, you can't be that selfish, it's just cruel.
