EVENT LOG: GRAVES


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.

[ Elden's had enough of looking at the graves for the time being. He's visited a few and left his offerings but each time came with some new way another person died. He can't help but feel angry and upset because it feels like he was spying in on someone's life and how it ended.

More over, he can only imagine what people might think if they stumbled onto his. He didn't want people to think he had been foolish or childish when he had said those words before his final moments. He had already had enough of that already and with how bitter he was feeling about all this? He didn't want anymore "I told you so's" or other remarks of that nature. He's not sure why he says it next, but it feels like the only way to lighten the mood;]


Right about now, when people we're miserable in my group, we'd suggest to drink honey tea. This one guy, Andrew? We use to say it to him a lot and he'd get so annoyed. Probably, 'cause the spirit in his head loved to say it to him.

...It was kind of funny in it's own way. You know, to remind us there was still something good?
