GRAVEYARD You remember dying. It's vivid and real, and you can absolutely remember taking your last breath. By all measures, that should have been the end. And yet, like waking from a deep sleep, you awake in a comfortable bed in a quaint little bedroom, and outside the window, you can see an even more quaint little neighborhood. You can get up to explore, but before you leave the bedroom, the radio inside flickers to life. "Good morning," Judy says, calm as ever, "Let me first say that I'm sorry that we've deceived you—" Because indeed, the more you look at this little neighborhood, the more it may feel familiar to you. It's almost like this was the kind of life you had before you ended up in the complex. Though as Judy explains, it wasn't a complex at all. The complex was something called a Vault, and the Vault was meant to protect you from the cataclysmic war that nearly wiped out humanity on the surface. You were kept safe. In a sense. It seems that the Vaults ultimately weren't much of protection in the first place. But Judy has done her best to ensure that your death in the Vault wasn't truly the end. Because of the nature of what was done to you, she was able to back up your existence in the servers that support the Vault. Strictly speaking, that's where you are now. You're a digital construct, and this neighborhood is Judy's idea of how to sustain you in the coming decades. That is the downside here, of course. All you can do is simply wait for someone to discover these servers, hoping they haven't failed by then. Perhaps there might be a way for you to return to the living then... Though for now, that's a distant dream. The neighborhood is small, but clearly will allow every person their own little home when they perish. There's a chance to expand it to include whatever amenities you may dream up, and there may already be some here. In addition, you can always watch the Vault to see how they're doing. There's a television in each home, and through it, you might understand how Judy can see so much. Flipping through the channels gives you a view of nearly every room in the Vault, at least until curfew falls. It's quality entertainment, since it gives you a way to keep tabs on the living. So, how will you spend your time? — OOC Explanation

J-Judy!

[GASP.]

You... How do I help Kara-chan? He's not safe in there...!

[Priorities.]

[judgejudy]

You cannot. The most interaction I can provide with the living are the letters you may send them. Of course, I will redact any information that would tamper with the experiment.

[mitsubou]

Letters... that's fine. It's okay if I can still talk to him.

[Yeah, that much is good BUT...]

Where's Rhys? You can't tell me he's still alive--

[MITSUTADA HAS A BONE TO PICK WITH HIM!!]

[judgejudy]

He is still alive, I regret to inform you, then. It is not of his own will. But the Overseer intervened in his death.

[mitsubou]

[He clicks his tongue, obviously annoyed at that.]

That's so uncool.

Do you think you can let me know whenever he shows up? I'd really like to give him a warm welcome.

[judgejudy]

You could always watch the developments on your television. I believe it will be rather obvious when that time comes.

[mitsubou]

Right, right. I'll keep my eye peeled for it, then.

[That's always a thing.]

Thank you, I suppose.
