Character Death

[glencolans]

CHARACTER DEATH

Death is not permanent on the island for reasons that are not fully understood at this time. Characters that die simply disappear, leaving behind all of their possessions obtained after arrival, and some time later - usually the next morning - they will wash up on shore in the same state they were in when they first showed up.

...Or, mostly the same. Certain Plot Factors may make characters come back a little different. These changes could be physical, psychological, or possessions-based, and they could last only a few hours up to until the character's next death. Exactly why these changes occur will have to be figured out by the characters.

You should receive a mod reply with the revival date (IC and OOC), revival location, and any secondary effects on your character within the next two days.

Randvi will awaken on Morning 044 in square V.BB.4. The tile description is:

The central ocean plateau meets the sea here, resulting in towering oceanside cliffs, jagged scree to break against the tide, and the powerful currents and massive waves that flash between them (although thankfully this area is a bit easier to climb than where Randvi first woke up). The sound of roaring water can be heard just east of her location.

All of Randvi's in-game-acquired possessions will be missing, except for the transceiver skin (and the transceiver itself, of course). All of her arrival items, however, will be with her, in the same condition as they were in when she arrived. Anyone with one of these possessions will notice that they have mysteriously disappeared within an hour after Randvi died on Day 043 while they weren't paying attention to them. Randvi herself will awaken uninjured, but she'll have extensive scarring wrapped around her throat, accompanied by a hoarse voice and a constant, dull ache in her neck.

Vaguely related question: since she died just outside the barrier, when K & co. return will there be any evidence that she died there or does her blood count as a possession and disappear?

ETA: oh also, is the pain in her throat constant or is it exacerbated by eg. coughing or swallowing?

[glencolans]

Her blood will disappear along with her body, so the only evidence that she died there would be any non-arrival possessions she had on her at the time (which it doesn't look like there were any), plus any disturbance of the sand at the scene.

I'll leave the level of neck pain/how it presents itself up to your discretion!
