☆ WELCOME TO HELL, YE POOR SOULS.

Magical Girl Raising Project

Graveyard

The last thing you remember is dying. Whether it's by murder or execution, that's was all it. But surprisingly enough, you wake up in the hotel room that you were assigned in, as if you had never died to begin with. However, once you walk right outside, you'll start noticing that while this is the Town A you remember, there are some slight differences that you notice.

The first thing is the fact that while you can see those who are still alive, they simply cannot see you. In fact, they pass through you, as if you were a ghost. And spoilers: you kind of are one, now. The second thing is that sometimes, if you look at a building for too long or too closely, you'll notice that it fizzles a bit, almost glitchy.

But that's completely fine, isn't it? There is, however, one more thing to keep in mind: there are voices of other people, mumuring. Of course, these other people, unlike you, don't have a complete shape; they're just a silhouette of themselves, looking like static.

However: it wouldn't be Town A without an announcement, would it? Of course not. Hence why upon rearriving, there will be a message, typed out:

Welcome to the afterlife, everyone. This is a greeting message to introduce you to how exactly this works. You have the ability to send one message to the living a week, so choose your words wisely. Of course, there are limitations to what you can say! You cannot reveal the mastermind's true identity, even if you know it. You cannot reveal a culprit or a victim, even if you know it.

Also, all messages will be sent to all players during the trials. If there is no trial, the message shall be sent on Saturday. You may investigate as you wish. If you have any questions to ask of me, please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

[When he wakes up, he's not sure what to think. His... execution has him on edge and waking up in his room is just not right. One thing is for sure-- he needs to find Estelle. So he's up and running out of his room and the lobby. He sees people he recognizes and--]

Hey, can you tell me what's going on?

[His persona is his usual and calm one, but it's clear that he's a bit panicked. When he's not getting a response, that cool persona of his starts to break a little more. And when he's being phased through like a ghost, well... that just makes things clear and yet more confusing at the same time...]

Shit...

[His first instinct is to check the dollhouse, but even that place isn't right the more he stares at it. Nothing is right.

Maybe this is Gehenna, but he deserves it after all that he's done.]

[telecosmetic]

[Well, Joshua, do you hear that sound of running feet behind you, while you're walking around? Do you hear that scream getting louder and louder? That's the sound of Eliza, transformed and very angry. She's got one fist raised, and as soon as she gets close enough, she's going to lunge and try to punch him in the back.]

That's for Eruna!

[sedatedkiss]

[He can hear the foot steps running to him and the screaming so... it's not exactly difficult to determine that this is meant for him. He doesn't even need to sense her to figure out when to dodge that punch that's definitely aimed for him.

It's just a side step really, and he's not going to transform or do anything that indicates he's on the defensive. Just... make sure he doesn't die a second death...]

Yeah, yeah I would deserve something like that...

[Except it's second nature for him to dodge so there he is. In any case, he's not in a talking mood right now so he just sighs and looks back at that dollhouse. Probably not the right response to have right now in regard to the angry girl.]

[telecosmetic]

[Well, she would respond, but her lunge means that she's going to drop facefirst towards the ground instead. She's going to flail for a moment, then try to grab onto him to arrest that fall.]

Ack!

[sedatedkiss]

[Worry not! He'll grab her arm as gently as he can and make sure she doesn't faceplant into the ground. He's already made A Bad Decision™, it's probably best to not make more...]

Here. [Then she can smack him all she wants. He just... didn't want to die a second death.]

1/2

[telecosmetic]

...thanks. [She'll take a bit to get her footing, blushing and rubbing her arm.] I guess I'm still clumsy...

[telecosmetic]

...but that doesn't change the fact I haven't hit you yet! [And she'll bunch up her hand into a fist and punch him in the chest. Perhaps a little more lightly than she would have previously. Either way, she's not going for hitting hard enough to kill.]

[sedatedkiss]

[He doesn't really flinch at all, instead just closing his eyes as she punches him. At the very least he allows for this one, but he may not have the reaction she wants.]

Do you do this to all the culprits that end up here?

[telecosmetic]

I did punch Tamamo, too! [A pause] It was...kind of awkward when I first got here, so I didn't punch Beyond. And it would be kind of awkward to find and punch him now. [She's...technically kept her promise not to seek him out.]

[raisingproject]

It's difficult at first. [A girl steps out while he's still staring. While her features are hard to tell, the long sword on her hip and her tunic isn't.]

But, you might not have to be this way for long. Things are nearing the end. Many of us are busy but I can help answer anything you might ask.

We're all comrades in death.
