☆ 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.

...how did he escape? Did he turn back into smoke or something?

...wait, that's vampires, right?

[raisingproject]

...

I'm not sure how to feel about that. [How should he respond to it.] Probably should keep an eye on him if he can interact with us too.

[He rocks back on his heels just a little.] What did he know?

[raisingproject]

A lot of things. [Hi, guys, someone's crashing the party.]

[zackthekiller]

Holy tits on Christ-

[HEY! Where did you get here, Impurity man?]

[Wait. Man.]

What the- How did you get here, and why are you older than when I first met you?!

[What the fuck is this guy aaaaugh.]

[raisingproject]

[Hinata jumps, biting back a surprised yelp.] What?

...

Alright, will you tell us what you know? [The strange guy isn't any weirder than other things he's seen around here.]

...within whatever rules you might be bound by.

[raisingproject]

That depends. You'll have to ask questions. As for that guy's questions [he thumbs at Zack] I can appear anywhere someone died. The dojo is one of those places. As for why I'm older, that's what happens when you feed impurity more impurity.

[zackthekiller]

... More impurity?!

[Uh. Well.]

Where the hell is the impurity coming from?

[raisingproject]

One of the captives, to be specific.

[zackthekiller]

...

[Oh, you have got to be kidding.]

Where are they? Are they still alive?!

[He is gonna be so pissed if he finds Ray still in there. If impurity is made up of death and bad emotions...]

[... Is the lack of emotion a bad emotion, or does being dead inside spare her from this curse?]

[raisingproject]

Yeah, they're still alive. In the dollhouse, all of them.

[zackthekiller]

[... Ray's still in there.]

Is that door in the back sealed against ghosts?

[raisingproject]

[He shrugs. Seems like he doesn't know.]

[zackthekiller]

Well?!

[Zack doesn't get the hint. Too jumpy and angry.]

[telecosmetic]

Wait, where are you getting more impurity? No one else has died, right? [They'd have shown up here, wouldn't they?]

[raisingproject]

Death isn't the only way for impurity to form. Emotions are one, too. And there is one such person who keeps creating impurity that is stuck here.

[telecosmetic]

...Zange, right? Also, can you turn back into that foggy form? Is that how you got out?

[raisingproject]

Not her. Even if she's frustrated and angry, she isn't the one who's been creating more of it. It's part of my aura, but it's not how I got out. That small girl opened the coffin and set me free.

1/2

[telecosmetic]

[She stares a bit more.] The small girl...Recette? [She stares a bit more...]

2/2

[telecosmetic]

If you did anything to hurt her, I'll kill you!

[raisingproject]

I didn't hurt her. And you can't kill me anyway. If you try, you'll be the one dead. [His tone is cold and serious. Don't try him.]

[zackthekiller]

I was 'bout to ask...

[Glad she's safe.]

How the hell did she get the coffin open? That damn thing was all sealed up!

[The seals protect against spirits, stupid.]

[telecosmetic]

You'd better hope that's true, or else- [She can't really charge at him with Zack holding her back, huh. So she'll just sulk instead.] So do you have any other impurity powers other than killing people?

[zackthekiller]

[Uh, no. Dead killer older brother figure is gonna hold her back.]

Hey! Careful!

I don't want you dying again because you did something completely stupid!

[raisingproject]

Can we not fight for one minute? [Hinata turns to the impurity person, studying him. He's never seen him before.]

I'll start with the most immediate questions. What is your relationship to Zange? Are you another deity?

[selfloving]

Sometimes a child has to touch the fire before they learn.

[She's looking a little sallow in the face--as sallow as the ghost of a person who was already obnoxiously pale in life can look.]

Still, I would like to hear him out before any violence is done. Your restraint is appreciated.

[Actually, maybe she is kind of talking around Ozuma instead of to him? Hm.]
