The Hawkins Cemetery (10) - Between constant destruction and expansions, Destiny City is always changing–and yet, forgotten by time, something of an old world remains. An old, unfinished, eyesore of a building finally gave way and crumbled, and while the city was clearing debris, they found something strange–an old dirt path that led downwards. An exploration of the area led to an underground cavern, but the greater mystery is that there is an unmarked cemetery underneath Destiny City. An old metal gate marks this as the Hawkins Cemetery, and Destiny City is alive with questions. Articles have popped up online and in the papers, podcasts are aplenty, and even the local news is eagerly asking questions.
The Hawkins Cemetery is not exactly open to the public, but it really isn’t too hard to sneak in. The City is quick to respond to disturbances, but as long as you aren’t making mischief, you’re mostly free to explore. There are no lights leading into the cemetery, or in the cemetery itself, but once you arrive it is impossible to miss the strange glow illuminating the area. Bioluminescent mushrooms grow all around, casting a soft white–and sometimes grey–glow about the room. It’s enough to make your way around, but if you want to see, you should come with your own lighting. There are rows of tombstones and statues, and even a few strange trees. You aren’t alone down here; if you keep to yourself, you’ll find that while this might be a cemetery, there’s still life all around you.

When discussions circulated online about the discovery of a previously unknown cemetery having been found in a cavern under a recently demolished building, it was only natural that Alise would be drawn to explore it. After all, how could she not? Places like that called to her, though (usually) not literally of course, and it was her 'sworn' duty to check them out whenever she found a new one, especially with all the weird stuff that happened in Destiny City sometimes. The place wasn't open to the public, but that had never stopped the teenager before, and indeed she was delighted to find that security, if any, was light, possibly nonexistent.
Thus, it was no problem to sneak through the gates leading into the cemetery, though the lack of light in the cavern had lead to her needing to light her own path. Luckily, she'd brought some supplies with her- including a flashlight- having prepared based on her experiences with exploring her homeworld in the past. Etoile didn't accompany her today, because that was just how it was, but it was fine! If trouble arose, surely it'd be nothing Lepus couldn't handle, maybe...
Seeing as the coast seemed to be clear, Alise saw no issue powering up into Eternal Lepus right there, because it wasn't like there was anyone around to catch her in the act, right? It seemed like it was just her, the weird-looking trees, some statues, and the graves, of course... along with these weird glow in the dark mushrooms.
Hmm... maybe she should try and pocketing a few of those to take back with her.
