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.

Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax

[Makes my own starter, I do what I want.

Hope has been avoiding going outside since her first and second run-in with her own 'altar,' so to speak. That doesn't mean she didn't run into a few others before finally finding her own, but for the most part she's kept herself away from all that stuff.

She's experienced death enough. She'd rather not have to deal with everyone else's trauma too.

She sure is gonna hunt down one of the only people she truly trusts around here, if only because she knows she'll be dead honest no matter what.

There's a knock at the door to your room, Scarlett.]

It's Hope. Are you awake?

[She's not even sure what time it is; it's getting harder and harder to tell without the sun around.]

[kungfuey]

[ It's rare Scarlett is ever seen out of her full get-up; The all black that covers her almost from head to foot, but then she doesn't usually get a lot of visitors at her room. Must be something about that sparkling personality of hers.

It makes her answering the door in light grey sweats and a navy t-shirt she'd snagged from the general store a refreshing change, the brunette looking far less intimidating like this as she greets Hope.

From the look of the way her short hair is sticking out at every angle? The answer is 'barely'. ]

I am now. [ Scrubbing a hand over her face, Scarlett steps aside and swings the door open wider to invite Hope in. ]

[tribridfreakshow]

[Hope sucks a breath in through her teeth, the mouth upturned.]

Crap, did I wake you up?

[Not what she'd intended to do, so she hesitates briefly before moving into the room as Scarlett steps aside to let her in.]

Not having a sun is just screwing with my internal clock so badly.
