GRAVEYARD

So, you're dead. Shame, that. But on the other hand, it's actually kind of nice. When you "wake" in some odd version of it, you'll find yourself lying on a rather plush bed. It's cozy and warm and just soft enough to tempt anyone back into sleep. The room is equally nice, if small, and when you turn and open the curtains to look out the window, you will see... wait, is that the town? It is, actually. The town is laid out quite simply across the window and no matter how many times you may bang or wave through the window, no one seems to notice you. If you're smart enough to give up the venture and leave the small bedroom, you will notice that, of course, you are on the train. The train that, is actually pretty fancy. Moving through it, past the sleeping cabins and through to the main carts, you will find a dining car with fine dishware and meals of all kinds made at a push of a button or a request given to the air. They'll appear, freshly made and ready to eat at the table of your choice with any drink you could want. There truly doesn't seem to be any limits when it comes to the luxury of the meal. There is also a bathhouse car with private bathrooms and saunas to fit up to four. Even one rather large room containing a small pool/hot tub of sorts is available for just about anyone to take a dip. It's kind of outlandish, honestly. Then the lounge car, with its library and plush armchairs and couches. A pool table, a darts board, even a small area dedicated to painting. There's a bar too, fully stocked and ready for anyone who needs a drink. All it would require is a request from the bartender who... looks surprisingly familiar? The Sheriff is there, much cleaner cut than his counterpart outside of the train. He looks up mildly at any arrivals, giving them a nod of greeting before going back to organizing bottles or setting cigars out for a smoke. He doesn't seem to be surprised at all by anyone who appears. Just... ready to serve them, whatever they may wish. It all sort of seems okay for a moment, until you realize you're just here to wait for the game to end. Awkward.

[HEY

SO

GUESS WHO.

first order of business is dealing with Russell after screaming about how much she cares about him in the middle of the main cabin?!?! but once she's done with that, Yuna, wide-eyed, uncertain, dead—dead, sometimes she rubs idly at her neck, sometimes she grips her fingers around something that isn't there—gets to wandering.

But...in true Yuna Yuki fashion, she doesn't seem so distressed. Curious, but unhesitating. When she sees people she was friendly with, she smiles, wide and bright and same as ever.]

[court_chesster]

[ Simon is disheveled and doesn't smell the greatest right now. A sleeping Money is nestled into his jacket. ]

...Oh. Hey.

[cherrypuncher]

Hi, Mister Keyes!

[smile smile!! it's just as if she's visiting him at the homestead again, instead of them being. y'know. dead.]

Hi, Money! Oh— [Her voice drops to a whisper when she realizes the monkey's asleep.] Hi, Money.

[court_chesster]

You won't wake him up. Little guy really can't hold his liquor.

[ So why were you letting him drink in the first place, Simon? At any rate, he straightens himself up a bit and does a bit of finger-combing though his messy hair. ]

Who got you?

[cherrypuncher]

[Yuna doesn't much like the way he asks that, and her expression falters in a way she can't recover entirely. She shakes her head.]

I stayed outside last night with Russell, Milla, and Jason, and there were a bunch of coyotes...

[couldn't even get herself murdered properly tbh]

[court_chesster]

Coyotes? ...Are you pulling my leg?

[ What is wrong with this girl!! ]

[sunnashi]

[ Hey there Yuna. Between you and Russell among this week's victims, this Friday is painful. But he wants to keep some promise he made, so that this whole dead thing is less painful. Well, it's a train and not that bad all things considered but... Still sad.

So. Yuna gets a hug with one of the nice blankets from the sleeping cars. And a head pat. Also he does this from behind as a sneak attack because she's busily distracted while exploring, he treads lightly... And he just wants to greet her first. ]

[cherrypuncher]

[HOW IS HIGEKIRI THIS CUTE????

she jumps a little at the surprise blanket attack but the shock hardly lasts half a moment until she realizes who's there.]

Higekiri-san! [Doing less than she could to keep the blanket on her shoulders, she whirls around and immediately goes in for an actual hug. She wouldn't usually be so immediately, blatantly physically affectionate, but—Higekiri had hugged her, she remembers, when they had to talk her down from not voting at Tiara's trial. Also she just died give her a break let her hug people..........]

[sunnashi]

[ We just Don't Know. But, he lets her hug him back because yeah, she is fresh deadmeat she can hug him. ]

Hello Yuna.

[ STILL A LITTLE SAD, WHY DID YUNA HAVE TO DIE, SHINNOSUKE WILL NEVER WANT A FRIEND EVER AGAIN. ]

You worked really hard, didn't you? I'm sorry we couldn't help you.

[cherrypuncher]

[shinnosuke's suffering is the entire reason yuna's death matters DON'T ACT LIKE SHE'S NOT GONNA HARASS HIM FROM THE AFTERLIFE AS MUCH IS AS POSSIBLE THOUGH]

You don't have to be sorry. It isn't your fault.

[She pulls back, smiling wide and adjusting the blanket around her shoulders.]

I really liked the letters you sent me! The flower drawing was really cute.

[sunnashi]

[ girl let's harass him together from beyond the grave. it'll be fun! ]

I'm glad you liked it. I tried to think of a pink flower and remember cosmoses. Honestly, Ezio is a much better artist though.

[ he's not even jealous, dude's a renaissance man. Literally. ]

The blankets and pillows are really comfy here... Do you want to make a fort out of them? I don't think the others will mind.

[dubiousalignment]

...well, curses. I was hoping you wouldn't be killed.

[Hey there, Yuna. Tarvek is to a side, uncomfortable. He really was counting on you to endure, Yuna]

[cherrypuncher]

...I'm sorry.

[:( she couldn't, wouldn't take back protecting Milla, but she's let so many people down...]

I'll just have to do my best from here instead now!

[dubiousalignment]

There's not much we can do besides sending letters. You got mine?

[combattente]

[When he sees Yuna, his face cycles through a whole lot of emotions, eventually settling on a calm, if somewhat sad, smile. He pulls her into a hug, stroking her hair as he does. And then he pulls away because uh that's a lil more emotion than he's shown in this whole game and he's not sure if the hug's okay with her and?? He just automatically went into big brother mode, okay.]

Mi dispiace, I... you have been so brave, Yuna. I am sorry you had to join me here.

[cherrypuncher]

[She's too startled to hug him back right away, and by the time she's gathered her bearings, he's already let her go. She hesitates, but only for a moment before she steps forward and hugs him again. Hugs are nice and she missed him okay!!!!!]

It's okay. It isn't your fault, so you don't have to be sorry.

[combattente]

[This time he allows the hug to last for longer, putting a hand on her shoulder. He smiles warmly, glad he didn't startle her too much.]

That's not it, Yuna. You should not be here in the first place, in this town even. Although, that could be said for most of us. But... that is why I am sorry.

[cherrypuncher]

[Hugs are nice!! But she does pull away, not putting too much distance between them, so she can shake her head.]

Nobody should have been here in the first place. It isn't because of you that you're here or that I'm here, though, so I won't let you apologize.

[a_sin_for_him]

[Oh. It's the sweet girl. Lust wouldn't say they were close, by any definition, but Yuna had been very kind to her. And so...earnest, in her kindness. Helpful, even. It's disappointing to see her here. It's such a strange to thing, to offer postmortem condolences, but it's becoming more and more familiar.]

I'm sorry you've joined us.

[cherrypuncher]

It's okay. It isn't your fault. [She's as smiley as ever, one way or another.] I wish it wasn't like this, but it's nice to see you again, Miss Lust.

[a_sin_for_him]

No, but it's still unpleasant. It's...nice to see you as well, despite the circumstances.

And please, no 'miss'. I've never been comfortable being addressed with social titles.

You seem alright, all things considered.

[cherrypuncher]

Oh, sorry... Lust, then! [it feels weird just calling her "Lust" but?!?! whatever makes her comfortable!!]

I'm just really happy to know Jason and Milla are safe... And anyway, it won't do me any good to sit around and mope! [She flexes, and determinedly pumps her first.] Despite what happened, I get to see some of my friends again, and even just the fact that I'm still here is worth being happy about.

[a_sin_for_him]

No, I suppose there's no sense in moping or self pity. It happens to us all, and this isn't a bad afterlife. I daresay there's more to do here than out there.

[Lust awkwardly reaches out to pat Yuna's shoulder, because what is comfort or normal human interaction? But people touch each other to offer comfort or support.]

And we're in good company.

[feminitis]

...oh, no...

[Yuna may not seem distressed, but... Sei sure is.]

I was hoping you would keep surviving.

[cherrypuncher]

[Ah... Her expression falters there. She's let a lot of people down, hasn't she?]

I'm sorry, Kamiya-san. I'll just have to do my best from here instead!
