GRAVEYARD ✨

[probe]

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.

[ it's one of his finer??? qualities.... ]

You'd really think that I'd see you as a pet?

[kokytos]

Oh my God, Law. [ He scoffs, and gives him a light push. ] I'm kidding. Joking. Come on.

[nodo]

[ ...

...


...

he'll just...nudge the plate of food or apple bunnies a little towards steven. do not perceive him entirely. ]

[kokytos]

[ ... ... ...






Snrk.

And then a laugh. Just a burst of laughter.

Alright, then. He'll spare Law any comments, and just pick up one of those slices and hold it up for him. With a grin. ]

[nodo]

[ LOOK IT'S FOR THE INDULGENCE........they need to be cute or. something.

that said he's totally going to avoid eye contact because again this is for the indulgence!!! he doesn't need to say anything whatsoever because the laughing is absolutely enough!!! thanks!!!!

that said he will open his mouth and...allow himself.....to be fed......he guesses?? unless steven will make him lean in for it then he's not going to do that. ]

[kokytos]

[ Honestly this is disgusting. It only fuels him to be even more of a shithead when Law CLEARLY AVOIDS EYE CONTACT!!!

And he just feeds him the bun. Good job Law. ]

[nodo]

[ "i can't believe steven and law can be so cute"....

AND YEAH. he's going to keep avoiding eye contact while he eats the apple too because he doesn't want to see how smug(??) steven looks while he does so. also non blush. ]

[kokytos]

[ WHO ARE YOU QUOTING???

Law you're one hell of a loser you know that? Eat your goddamn fruits and vegetables. ]

[nodo]

[ IT'S A PLAY ON "i can't believe my little sister can be this cute"??? but with no trace of creep or incest.

ALSO CEASE. he eats his fruits and veggies just fine, thanks. he just...all of this. it's only one apple bunny, right? he won't try anything else? ]

[kokytos]

[ IM NOT AWARE OF THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL AND IM GLAD IM NOT WOW

How about multiple apple bunnies. Though he will grin like a shithead, taking advantage of Law's massive tsundere vibes right now. ]

Your other food's getting cold.

[nodo]

[ GLAD FOR YOU.


and...law will accept the multiple bunnies. hate this. hate this so much. i refuse to get out of bed to fetch icons off of my pc for a blushing law so he is still not blushing.


but he will be dying here and mumbling something. grumpy full tsundere (apperently) law. ]

[kokytos]

Hello? Laaaaw.

[ Knock knock, you gonna stay full tsun forever? Steven's going in for the kill here. ]

Do I have to feed you the fish too?

/2

[nodo]

[ closes mein eyes. ]

N, no! I'll be fine to feed myself now! I didn't need your help before either.

[nodo]

[ and...

boy isn't that outburst fucking tsun as all hell? the speed of which is dawns on law of just how painfully tsun it was is near instant. oh the feeling of being mortified.....why did he go and remove his hat.


only side glances now. help.


actually no, he's just going to rest his head on the table. he hates this so much. ]

[kokytos]

[ Yeah, no, he's just snickering to himself. What a good time they're having (Steven is. Law is suffering).

He just pats him on the head. Alright, eat by yourself, then. He'll go back to messing with the laptop until you're done. ]

[nodo]

[ LAW IS SUFFERING....but he's also going to focus on finishing off his food that steven made in silence while he does is best to not think of how much of a fool he probably has come across by now.

it started so well!!! how did it end like this!!! anyway, with food done, he's going to go back to peeking at whatever it is that steven is looking at this time. anything good on the interwebs? ]

[kokytos]

[ Good, eat your food Law. At least the only one here to witness your embarrassment at the moment is just Steven. Because if anyone is around just watching all this bullshit, who the fuck even are you?

Steven apparently got bored of trying to Google things that could be useful or helpful to them, so he's apparently taken a break and has YouTube open. He's just watching interesting-weird videos now. ]

So? Did it taste halfway decent?

[nodo]

[ voyeurs who want to see one of the more normal(??) couples in the graveyard i guess. ]

Good enough that I'd take your cooking over figuring it out on my own.

[ it's a compliment even if it's a terrible one. law has resumed his previous location of being semi perched on steven's shoulder as he watches the video and...? ]

What are you watching? [ he WAS going to ask about the snail but now the luge course is happening and law doesn't even know? then it keeps getting more random and HELLO??? ] Is this what the internet is like?

[ send help. ]

[kokytos]

Your compliments could use some work, you know that? [ Idle. He would've said "they're terrible", but boo, effects. ]

It's just some video I saw on the front dashboard. Pretty interesting though, don't you think? [ Yeah Law the internet is just like this. ]

[nodo]

[ he'll just pat steven on the head for his commentary on his back compliments. yeah, yeah... the fact that steven gets any at all!!! ]

I guess. [ he's frowning as the video continues to play out. it's...not the worst?? but oh. oh no....... why must this video contain this?? ] What kind of captain loses control of their ship?

[ law will0 sound so offended by this as he watches the carnage. THIS HURTS HIM??? he has a submarine, sure, but it isn't as though law has never had a normal ship before in his life. ]

[kokytos]

[ HAHAHA. ] Of course that's the thing you would focus on. It's a yacht, he said -- so it's probably not someone who boats for a living.

[nodo]

[ ....

this will probably sound hilarious to steven coming law on so many different levels but he just can not. ]

Why are the rich the worst?

[kokytos]

Says the man worth what, a hundred million dollars!

[nodo]

It was half a billion.

[ because that makes it SO much better. ]

Just because I'm worth that much doesn't mean I have access to it all. It's part of a bounty and the other thing would kill me if I "spent" it.

[ you know, if it worked the way that it was rumored to. ]

[kokytos]

Oh, I'm so sorry for underselling you. [ Haha. ] Though if your rhetoric is eat the rich, well, you're going to hate the crowd I hang with.
