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.

Can't promise I won't do that.

( he's been lookin' after folks around him since he was all of nine years old. it started with his brothers and ended with the army an' it ain't a compulsion he's keen to ease. )

But a medic never did anybody any good by running into live fire to save one man. ( speaking from experience? maybe. ) I know to look to my own needs.

[Kyna clicks her tongue.]

You could at least pretend to be intimidated by me.

[preseance]

( give him a moment. then, )

Please, ma'am, don't kick my ass.

( it's barely even an honest effort. gene ain't good at seemin' cowed by much'a anythin', just ain't to the soul of him. )

[evocation]

[She scoffs, giving his shoulder a little push. Maybe she is a bit offended now.]

I could totally kick your ass!

[preseance]

Oh, of that I have no doubt.

( he gives her a playful little nudge in return. )

I just ain't much for intimidation, is all.

[evocation]

God, Gene, you're gonna give me a complex or something.

[preseance]

So long as it's a good one.

( he gives her one final, gentle little squeeze to her shoulders an' then he stands up. holds out a hand. )

C'mon, let's go get somethin' to eat.
