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.

[ he hasn't heard of even half of those races, and those he have are straight from fiction. elden's world is clearly far, far removed from his own. unsurprising, really, given the variety of people here. but still odd to confront.

he gives the kid kind of a funny look at the apology, then shrugs. he probably does sound angrier than he thinks, wound tight by the situation; but elden hasn't done anything, in particular, to really annoy him.

(not that he loves being asked questions as a general rule. but there are the momentary annoyances, and the things he actually holds onto.) ]

Most people around here assume I'm a child, because I look like a child. That's nothing special.

[ worth apologizing for, that is. ]
