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.

You were created for that?

( to his credit, he doesn't sound...too surprised. there's definitely a pause while he parses that before pressing on. )

I didn't know that was a thing people did. But, I am sorry you miss her. I miss my family too. I want to think they'll be all right but I still miss them. A lot.

It's what my model was created to do. There are other models, of course, with other reasons for existing.

❪ shop keepers, astronauts, police force... if it's a position with an ounce of hard work then cyberlife has probably created an android for it. ❫

CyberLife has changed a lot of things with the idea of making it easier for humans. And, I know it doesn't mean a lot to hear from a stranger but I hope your family is all right as well. I can't imagine how hard it would be just not knowing.

My family will be fine, I'm sure. They've come back from worse losses than me.

( they'd mourn, grieve, be sad but they'd get past it. they'd move on, be stronger, and forget about him eventually. )

We don't...have people who are created where I'm from. Not like what I think you're talking about.
