☆ WELCOME TO HELL, YE POOR SOULS.

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.

[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.]

[raisingproject]

Against you, maybe, since you're dead.

[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?

[raisingproject]

"Or else", what? I don't exactly have anything to lose, you know. [Not that it matters, really. Not to him.]

Like I said earlier, I can appear in any place someone has died. Teleportation, basically. This power is mostly a curse, however. Created from dark emotions.

[telecosmetic]

Anywhere? Does that include during previous games?

[raisingproject]

Yeah. I just either didn't have enough in the last few games... or nobody opened the coffin.

[telecosmetic]

So, um...is there anywhere you can't go? [Is there any place in this town that is sacred]

[raisingproject]

Zange's bathroom.

[telecosmetic]

...so people have been killed a whole bunch of places, huh.

[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?

[raisingproject]

We're both from the same world. But I'm not another deity. She, like everyone else, thinks I'm a tengu. Which is technically the 'correct' term, but honestly, I just have high spiritual power.

But now, I'm just a manifestation of the impurity after I took it in so many years ago.

[raisingproject]

So the impurity has been here before? [He brings his hand to his mouth as the information sinks in. Someone related to Zange by the same world...]

[raisingproject]

I've always been here. Even if the amount hasn't been as bad as this game's.

[raisingproject]

[He nods. ...what else can he ask about?]

...How is you being here related to these murder games? Or is it just killing brings out impurity?

[raisingproject]

Killing and negative emotions brings out the impurity. That's all.

[raisingproject]

[Another nod. He drops his hands to his sides. That's about what he thought. But it hadn't hurt to ask.]

I assume what you are is why you can see and talk to us.

[raisingproject]

Yes. That, and I'm technically already dead.

[raisingproject]

...technically. From your world?

[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.]
