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.

Ben Winters | NPC

[scrapcap]

[Winters' shrine is a short pillar of stone, on top of which is a dim, flickering hologram of his face. His name is inscribed on the front, and a collection of rocks is stacked up around the pillar.

Would you like to leave an offering? He has... a few options to choose from in terms of deaths.]

[ooc: if you just want a vision and don't want to chat with him, that's fine! just drop me a note here to let me know what offering you've left. or, if you would like to talk to him, he'll be at the harbor, standing at the end of the dock.]

[She wants the vision and she'll go to find him later on.]

[ on the very first day, before anyone figures out what the heck is going to happen if you leave an offering on someone's shrine, daylight leaves an offering to winters. he feels compelled to and, well, he wants to.

it's simple enough, the gift he leaves for the man - daylight made a paper flower for him, made from a bright white paper from his own sketchbooks. it’s coloured gold at the edges and in the centre. daylight hopes it’ll cheer winters a little bit, seeing something that almost mimics the colour of light. he thinks it's a thoughtful enough gift for the man who's trying his best to help him and the others. he hopes winters will like it when he comes by, if he comes by.

admittedly... this place is kind of creepy but he tries to keep those thoughts down. just the imagination at work, he thinks as he lies down the flower. what's the worse that could happen? ]

[ ooc note; daylight would like a vision and a chat with winters at a later date! ]

[fogey]

[ hit me with a vision! five left behind a candle in offering ]

[As with most here, Rosinante intentionally tries to avoid Winters, but he's certainly curious about what he might find. He kneels at the shrine and its ghostly image, which is plenty fascinating enough, then places a few water-worn pieces of lakeshore driftwood at its base, smooth and pale even in the warm glow of the lantern light.]

[Hit me with a vision. Annie left a trio of variously-sized allen keys.]
