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.

[ daylight's winglets prick up in obvious shock and surprise at coraline's response. his expression morphs into discomfort and worry and he finds himself wondering how he should approach this now.

... it wouldn't hurt to get on her level. quite literally, he decides as he kneels on the ground to make sure he isn't looming over her. this has been a tense situation for everyone and daylight thinks he knows why: knowing something about someone, especially something like this, is quite a... revelation. it can put someone in a spot or position they don't want to be in and, for some, that is something they want to avoid at all costs.

so he speaks, with as much sincerity and earnestness as he can muster: ]

No.

No- You can stop me if you want, Coraline.

[ as proof of what he has to say, daylight visibly lowers the token he had made for her. he raises a servo up, as a gesture of peace between two companions. ] I don't want to force this on you. It's your choice on whether or not I see this... this... and I'll respect that, no matter what it is.

Because- Because we're friends, aren't we?

[ She keeps her eyes on the ground, even as she feels him kneel down, meaning he probably isn’t leaving anytime soon. Cool cool cool cool. Wonderful. ]

… I don’t know.

[ God, should she just tell him what she did? How she violated his privacy so thoroughly because she’s a goddamn idiot? Maybe she should. But she likes Daylight. A lot. He’s such a good person and he makes her feel happy more often than not in this shitty ass place. Is it selfish to want to keep that?

Probably. ]

I don’t know if I should.

[ She gives a mirthless laugh. ]

I don’t know if you’d still want to be after [ everything. ]
