☆ 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.

[Thankfully, nobody's showed up just yet and while the creepiest thing about the church is that there's a coffin at the altar. Nevertheless, Zange isn't going to speak. All she does is shake her head in a silent don't you fucking dare.]

[zackthekiller]

[He's gonna do it. He's gonna keep trying for a reaction.]

Hey! I'm talkin' to you! I know you can fucking hear me!

[He's gonna go lean on the coffin. Is this a good idea?]

[crossingout]

[Well, he'll get nothing from her. But since he's a ghost, leaning isn't a good idea. He'll just go right through it. Good job. But she won't react, sighing and going back to prayer.]

[zackthekiller]

Huh- Shit!

[And Zack falls backwards into the coffin. Nice job, Zack.]

[Anything he might notice about the inside of the coffin? Like a body or something?]

[crossingout]

[Fortunately, he won't go into the coffin, but get deflected to an area away from the coffin; it seems that there's a spiritual ward on it to prevent the spirits from getting inside the coffin.

But since nobody's around:]

You should stay away from that if you don't want to permanently die.

[zackthekiller]

[So he'd end up faceplanting somewhere away from the coffin. Lovely.]

Urgh... What the hell is wrong with that coffin...?

[crossingout]

Haven't you noticed that the impurity is gone? Where do you think I put it?

[zackthekiller]

...

[A lightbulb went off in Zack's head.]

[He's gonna move away from the coffin now. Far away from the coffin.]

[crossingout]

[Now since that's over with, she'll sigh and just go back to chilling. You have fun with that.]

[zackthekiller]

[Yeaaaah... Zack's gonna just nope out of the church, okay. Bye.]

[He's going to stop by the observatory for a bit, since he kind of forgot to check that out before he died. Maybe there might be some impurity-less clues over here?]

[hawthorned]

[Dahlia's never checked out the observatory either. Not like there was a whole lot of time to do that in the time between that area opened and before she died... which she is definitely not still salty about. Seeing Zack already there before her, she's a little surprised because he doesn't seem like the sort to hang around a research facility, but then again... she can't be bothered to ask.]

Oh. [...That is not a substitute for a hello, Dahlia.]

Finding anything interesting?

[zackthekiller]

[Zack glances over at Dahlia for a moment... Yep, they're both dead. He's not expecting a proper hello, but he just waves at her.]

Haven't found anything yet... This place is kind of boring, really.

[raisingproject]

Boo.

[Surprise....? He seems to come out of nowhere, it seems.]

[zackthekiller]

[HELLO WEIRD BOY ZACK HAS NEVER SEEN IN HIS LIFE WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM.]

[Zack jumps back, startled, and attempts to make a coherent response.]

Hah?!? Who the hell are you?!

[hawthorned]

Ahh!

[Dahlia backs the hell away from the meat boy. IS THERE NO END TO THE GHOSTS HERE.]

W-when did you get here?

[raisingproject]

Ozuma. Just now.

[zackthekiller]

What?

[He glances around.]

I didn't hear you come in! What the fuck?

[hawthorned]

[Dahlia has never been so much on the same wavelength as Zack until this moment, wow. She's not glaring... yet, but she might be soon.]

Careful, Zack. He probably used his powers to do it.

[raisingproject]

The woman's right that I did, in a way. In any case, you probably shouldn't touch me if you don't want to die. Again.

[zackthekiller]

... What?

[Think, Zack. What else can't be touched or else you die?]

... Were you the fucker who was causing the impurity?!

[raisingproject]

I didn't cause it. I am the impurity.

[hawthorned]

[..... Backing away another step.]

How come you changed shape?

[zackthekiller]

... What.

Just, WHAT?

[Zack's brain hurts.]

I thought Zange sealed the impurity in that coffin at the church!

[raisingproject]

She did. For you guys. As for how come I changed shape? Well, that's what happens when you put too much impurity in one place.

[You know. The coffin.] Also that girl was the one who brought me back after collecting all the impurity. I don't know what she's planning, but she might be using me as a last resort.

[zackthekiller]

Girl?

What girl?

[The only people left alive are girls!]
