EVENT LOG:
GRAVES

characters: everyone.
location: Bonfire Square.
date/time: July 12-19.
content: mysterious shrines appear and bring visions of death.
warnings: likely violence and potentially gore.

time to pay your respects.

It happens when no one is looking, when most of the town is asleep and the rest are inside. A makeshift cemetery has come to Beacon, taking up residence in the middle of Bonfire Square. Each monument, shrine, and altar is dedicated to someone who now resides here, a memorial of their previous life.

Some may be drawn by curiosity, others by fear, and some may simply have to pass through this strange graveyard to get to the Bonfire itself. Whenever a person gets near, the altars beckon with a mysterious urge— an urge to approach, and an urge to leave something behind. They will feel compelled to make offerings at the various shrines, but doing so has a curious effect; it causes one to experience the death of the person whose grave they've honored.

Whether you resist the compulsion or give in willingly (or something in between), you'll also have to wrestle with the fact that a grave exists for you. Will you let your death be known, or try your best to keep it secret? Destroying it sure won't work, as it will return— with a duplicate somewhere else in town.

However you choose to deal with this, one thing is hard to ignore— this a tangible reminder of your death, and the fact that it's probably permanent.

Thank you

[ Elden had left his offering at the shrine and in return he suffered what this man suffered. Felt the despair, pain and loss all in one as it flashed through his mind and in his heart. He can't help but feel a bit bitter after the experience, that someone who would so selflessly put themselves in harms way just to save their friend? Died like that and that their friend was dead here with them.

He frowns at the stone, looking over the title and then the years. ]

Hm. You were pretty young too...

[ Twenty two...only a seven year difference but it's still enough to think it's a waste. He is surprised though when he feels a cup of tea slide into his fingers, clearly having spaced out from everything around him.

He looks up to the visitor and and he purses his lips. He recognizes the voice from the vision from the tombstone and well... ]

Sorry. I didn't mean to pry.

[Ignis nods-]

It's quite alright. [Ignis doesn't hide the facts of who he is, what he did in the past (and what he's probably ready to do in the future if needed), so he doesn't mind the "prying" aspect of this. He's just worried that all of that was a bit too much to take on all at once.]

I'm more worried about you. Do you need to sit down?

[Few people that already saw this had quite a backlash from it. He doesn't want the boy to fall over if the vision exhausted him.]
