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.

Why is it your business?

⦓ No, she does not say that it isn't his business, in a way, that would be a lie, but she is curious about the parameters here. Having never met Daenerys Targaryen, having only ever seen her in one dying moment, it's simply not enough to guess.

So her tone isn't accusatory, nor is it sharp, she is simply curious. As simply curious as she can be, considering the way Westeros' future history has steeped itself into her bones.⦔

She's the only chance we have in defeating the Dead. Even if we unite every House in Westeros, it won't be enough without her dragons.

[There were other reasons, deeper reasons that he couldn't go into or express. Melisandre wasn't the one who he'd fully bear his heart to. Not about Daenerys and the lingering feeling of loss at whatever opportunities they might have had.

She wasn't here at least. She didn't have to suffer this afterlife.]
