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.

[Ignis doubts that either of their parents wanted them to die- King Regis, while strict and firm ruler, was very protective of those around him. But such is life in monarchy; it is not the outcome Ignis wanted, but he is happy and proud to have been in service for the Royal line. To be Noct's protector, advisor, and friend. In what little time they had, they made memories and a bond Ignis will treasure forever.]

It was less of satisfaction and more of a pride type of thing. We were at war and our lands are ruled by Monarchs. And I am proud to have stood by them.

[The mention of Noctis being here does cut deep. What he did in Altissia, he'd do it again, without a second thought. He has no regrets about it no matter how selfish it is. But Noct being here is beyond frustrating.]

Indeed. The Astrals that sought my King's help, marking him as a Chosen King, were the same ones that struck him down. [Ignis falls silent for a while, then looks up at Will.] Despite how he appears to be, Noctis has a good heart and even better soul, and light of compassion that many lack. Myself included.

Which is why I will continue to protect him the same way here. [He looks through the window at the black forest and the night sky-] The darkness of this place will have to go through me first. [Will might think Ignis is insane but- Ignis never said he was normal in the first place.]
