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.

Kindly is it?

[ he knows he's being a little shit and that steven is calling him out on his bullshit but you know what? ask him if he cares first. ]

But no; I don't need any kind of reward. [ the fact that steven hasn't thrown him off should be a reward in itself. ...and it kind of is, honestly. law doesn't deserve to be left unpunished like this. ] I'm fine with how things are like this, but if you want to reward me somehow I'll take it.

[kokytos]

[ IT'S KINDNESS WEEK, HE CAN'T DROP LAW EVEN IF HE WANTED TO. Though, granted, he might not drop Law anyway because he likes him. Don't tell anyone, waow.

But fine, be a bastard. He'll just kiss Law's neck then, since it's right there and an easy target. There's your "reward" and small concession from Steven. ]

[nodo]

[ it might be a little too late for that. sure all of china (the graveyard) might know that he likes him. rather, that they like one another. ...just maybe. law's admission to killing the clown to ""avenge"" steven's death might have been the first clue but law brutalizing vlad as soon as he new for certain would have been the dead giveaway.

haha.

that said, the kiss on the neck actually is a surprise and gets a shudder/flinch out of him. h...hello?? was that the kind of rewards he would get? i weep in wishing that law would immediately be able to counter attack but he cannot. ]

[kokytos]

[ Hey, it only counts if you actually said out loud "this is for Steven". Which, don't do that.

Anyway, Steven's taking advantage of this thanks, and just gonna keep fixating on the fact that it made Law jump, and therefore keep getting at it with a subtle nefarious smile to his features. Payback??? Thanks folks. ]

[nodo]

[ law's too tsun to do that and unless someone tags him or pins him down to confess to that, then no. law should probably properly confess in the first place before doing that maybe. a Consideration.

also if fixating on it means necking with law then he's going to have a hard time with not not being bothered (like "bothered") by it wow?? if it isn't then he'll just grin and bear it. ...he can live with being embarrassed it's fine. he was embarrassed before!! ]

[kokytos]

[ Don't worry about it, Steven won't make it horny here. Maybe. Just largely overindulgence of flirty and innocuous kisses on Law like he's a spoiled princess until Steven gets tired or Law wriggles his way out of it... ]

[nodo]

[ MAYBE!!!! THIS IS WHY I DM YOU IN ADVANCE NOW.....

but help him this is too much. i'm crying.........there's absolutely no way that law isn't going to squirm his way out or at least put his hand over steven's mouth. look affection was number two but this is just so much??? he didn't ask for this (he kind of did.) and this time i'm at work so i can't get a blushy icon. ]

Really?

[kokytos]

This is what you get for being the way you are.

[ Back to resting chin on his shoulder. But with a self-satisfied smile to himself. ]

[nodo]

[ DON'T LOOK SMUG. THIS ISN'T FAIR...... ]

What does that even mean?

[kokytos]

Shh.

[ Reaches up and paps his face. He won't tell. ]

[nodo]

[ ???

???? why is he shushing him???

hello????



but since i crave softness after the crispening i'll allow law to settle down and now they can ""cuddle"" likes this. balms for my soul. ]
