Black Smoke, White Smoke

[Cas]

Either smoke, someone's been working overtime. With the smoke of the dying wild fires lessening off into the distance, black smoke of the creamatorium looms in a horrid reminder of those that have passed.

There's no telling how many are down there, with a good portion of the island now dead and gone. Those the Fighter's guild having collected thankfully lessening the load.

The Crypt Keeper can be seen coming not out of the Cathedral, but out of the shed to the right of the Graveyard's establishment with a cloth mask over her nose and mouth, often carrying multiple urns before disappearing back within the shed. The courier, Dallas, seen tending to the grounds in her absence. However once she's topside, he masks up himself and follows in her footsteps, taking up the mantle to oversee the next group down below.

When either is present above ground, a white smoke smelling of sage can be seen ushering from the humble little chimney of their housing, coating the surrounding buildings in the light, fragrant scent.

Yet the black smoke still looms as a grim reminder and the urns on the outside of the establishment keep stacking up.

Hopefully they'll be done soon.

The last puff of sage filled smoke leaves the smoke stack of the crematorium. The fires below stop churning, and the last of the Risen and Fallens' bodies collected have been turned to ash. Urns can be seen from the windows lining the walls of the inside for delivery should one chance a peek.

Not even a day later, wood would be pulled from the basement of the Crypt Keeper's establishment. The Master Crypt Keeper herself seen with a measuring tape as she works outside to begin the construction of new coffins, while in the meantime, cold spots continue to pepper the grounds and if one loses track of their senses, a soft whisper or ghost of a touch may be felt as pedestrians skirt the perimeters.

A single Magpie can be seen hopping along the roof of the Grave Keep's quarters on occasion as the dwelling still ushers out white smoke smelling of sage upon the grounds, gently wafting into neighboring areas.
