☆ 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.

[Oh, shit. He has to reason with the guy.]

[He probably won't have a death wish... And the last thing he needs is a third person suddenly joining him and Ray in the murder building, though his presence could take care of Eddie...]

[Was there something else?]

You wanted a way out of here too, right? And maybe negative emotions to leech off of or something?

[raisingproject]

I want my life to end. But it cannot be done here.

[hawthorned]

[....So he does have a death wish, huh.]

If you want to leave this world, then that hinges on them [Gesturing at the living folk doing the trial.] succeeding with the trial, doesn't it?

[raisingproject]

It does. But having me be an intermediary for them is basically you guys not trusting in them to the right ending. So you're saying they're stupid?

[hawthorned]

[Oh please. She'll refrain from rolling her eyes.]

Make whatever inference you like, Mr Ozuma. You asked what was in it for you and I merely answered the question.

[raisingproject]

And I made a comment about that. You cannot guarantee their win.

[hawthorned]

Nothing in life is a guarantee though, is it? It's a matter of optimizing the odds in order to get what you want.

[But because she sincerely doubts Ozuma actually cares about whether they trust people or not, she's going to assume there's a more pragmatic issue at play here.]

Do you have rules imposed on you that would punish you for conveying messages?

[raisingproject]

Well, you can't call this being "alive". [He shrugs.]

Depends on the message.

[zackthekiller]

[Oh, thanks for the reminder. Uhh.]

[At least the death thing isn't totally out?]

Well, you got me on the trial thing... Could you at least tell them we're counting on them to get us out alive? I could even get you out and kill you myself if you like.

[raisingproject]

You can't kill me. But I suppose I could.

[zackthekiller]

Wha? Even in another world where everything is back to normal?

[raisingproject]

I can't be killed by being stabbed or shot or anything like that. I must be purified.

[zackthekiller]

Purified? Seriously?!

So, what, do you want me to take ya to a priest or something?

[Because Zack kind of knows one. Hope you like hallucinogenic gas.]

[raisingproject]

Yeah. Not many people can do a proper purification because of how much impurity there is. Especially since I'm linked to the town I'm from.

[zackthekiller]

[Holy shit Sera he did not think of that.]

Hey, is it against the rules to ask people to listen to Sera's point?

[raisingproject]

Yeah. Because they can hear her, you know.

[zackthekiller]

[Zack grumbles in annoyance.]

[hawthorned]

My sister should be able to do that.

[Not that she knows for sure, but at least Iris is here as a hostage and is an acolyte in spirit shit.]

[raisingproject]

Does she have spiritual powers, I'm assuming?

[hawthorned]

[Funny story, Dahlia doesn't know exactly how poweerful Iris is or isn't. "Not very" is her guess b/c otherwise Morgan wouldn't be so obsessed with the little girl, but details, schmetails.]

She's an acolyte in training.

[raisingproject]

"In training", huh... that probably means that she's not strong enough to get rid of me.

[hawthorned]

It's worth a try, isn't it? Why do you want to stop existing anyway?

[raisingproject]

Maybe. I do have someone who plans on purifying me and can actually do it if necessary. [It's a big "if", though.] I've lived long enough. Besides, my existence will destroy the town.

[hawthorned]

Who might that be?
