Thank u I would actually LOEVL TO DIVE DEEPER INTO THIS

Had Smokey died from murder, they'd psychologically and physically torture the murderer. They would not care who it was. The line they drew would beyond break the limit (EX. If a teenager was somehow responsible, maveth's "they're too young" rule would be broken.) after his death, they would not see a purpose in leaving the cult. And go back to their old ways with more brutality. With Smokey's corpse possibly being mutilated, they would not attempt to revive him due to fear of him being in more pain then before.

Had it been from illness they would completely neglect their cult prior to the death, trying to cure him if they believed it was possible, once he died, they would preserve his body while looking for a cure. Absolutely no cult member could touch his corpse but them. They would execute anyone who disobeyed this rule. They would convince the members to treat his dead body with the same fearful respect as they did when he was alive. While looking for a way to resurrect him, they would die from too much Corbeau magic use as a Campbell.

The only possible incident where they'd kill themselves from this is if they believed his death was their fault. But that's if they can manage to gain the bravery to do it.

• Mr. Graves: I'm just going to answer this in order from most terrible to least terrible. Had Scarlet died before him he wouldn't rlly do what ppl would be under the assumption of what he would do. He would have buried her himself and stayed by that grave. For him the "they only care when your dead" is entirely true, she would be twisted into a perfect, flawless saint in his mind. he wouldnt acknowledge his past abuse, he would view their marriage as something where he was the perfect protector. his grievance always results in moving on. The next person who reminds him of Scarlet he would stay "devoted" to in his own, terrible way. Just as he did for her about Natalya.
• Kristopher: his obsession with Natalie was endless. Their friendship led him to believe they were destined to be together. To bring them closer then Natalie would ever accept, he would eat her corpse if he found her body.
• Natalie: when upset about deaths she acts rather violently. had Ari died in front of her, she would take a moment and then simply dispose of Ari's body. "Picking up her mess". her primary reaction would be annoyance or anger that a useful tool is no longer available. she truly views Ari as a extension of herself, she would feel physical symptoms of distress. nausea, restlessness, and a non stop feeling of sickness. without fully understanding she's grieving. She would not stop drinking and her payment rules would slowly turn much more crueler.
• Maveth: For if Smokey died it would depend on HOW he died. Had it been murder they would have hunted down the killer and tortured them psychologically. Maybe even to death, making them experience the most painful death. If it were his illness or accident or anything like that, they would attempt to bring him back to life, preserving his corpse until they figured out to do so. Because of this, they'd drop dead for using the Corbeau book too often as a Campbell.
