at once short of life, and long of sorrow.
[You are dead.
Well, obviously. You remember how you died. It was...not fun, to say the least. But hey, at least you're off that ship, right?
Except...you don't know exactly where you are now. It seems like a house, but if it is, it's...a work in progress. Most of the rooms are empty, and your steps echo up through the marble columns and down faint mosaics on the tiled floor. The few windows you find have a green light gleaming through them; you can't really see anything beyond the eerie light.
It feels like you're in a temple of some kind. The columns and mosaics seem to indicate it is something like that-it's certainly reminiscent of something out of an ancient culture, perhaps even one you're familiar with. For some reason, though, it's clear someone-or something-lives here. One of the rooms to the south is stuffed with pizza boxes. Another, larger room has a makeshift futon in one of the corners. There are imprints of multiple footsteps all through the dusty floors as you look around, many of them leading to a small alcove to the west. And-
and there's a giant van. Just. hanging out there. Completely out of place with the seemingly ancient decor. And inside, there is the sound of light snoring.
Ok then. You're apparently not alone in death, after all.]

GRAVEYARD "CARGO HOLD"
Not only that, but it seems there's an extra stash next to the figure-one that is only available to the graveyard. What incredible goodies does the Gimme have for you here...?]
((OoC: That's right, you can earn coins and turn them in for goodies here, too, just like you could when your character was alive! Keep in mind, however, that dead players can't roll plot-important of character-personal items.
Respond to this comment with your threads and whether you want to roll for items from the special graveyard list!))
Re: GRAVEYARD "CARGO HOLD"
[Connor's not sure what to think of the Gimme other than what he was on the ship before but he was around.]

[As Moriarty hands over the coins, he politely bows to the Gimme, or, Really-]
I must admit, I hadn't realized you were Charon before. I also never believed I would meet a Greek God in such a manner, but I assume there's a first time for everything, hm?

CHARON MAIL DELIVERY SERVICE
[After that, he clears his throat and rolls up a sleeve, holding out his arm to Charon for the Blood Tithe.]
Ah - I would ask this letter not go to Hermes, if at all possible. Otherwise He'll keep it to himself. I would prefer it to be delivered to Alastor or Makima, but I will leave it up to your discretion on who to give it to.

Wednesday is when we make our attempt, Charon. As for this - give it to whoever comes to you first.

He meanders around for awhile, investigating, but he's kind of slumped. And pouting. ]
Hey, is anyone here?
[ Later on: he sees the Gimme.
Instead of avoiding out of shame, he stalks right up to him. ]
Hey asshole.

There is a shadow in one of the rooms. It swiftly walks past and then behind Keith, swift as lightning.

THE ASSAULT
Phase 1
You see several large, insect-like creatures moving around the area on spiny legs, each with a pair of vestigial wings on its back and hollow eyes that remind you far too much of a humanoid skull. Instead of a carapace, the creatures are donned in wrinkly, pale flesh. Indeed, they even have human noses separating their long, clicking mandibles.
This won’t be as easy as hitting a stationary target as you might have thought.]
