GRAVEYARD

[foundationmods]

[On the instant of your death, you're suddenly outside of your body - probably staring down at the remains it's become.

Yet, you're not alone. For all of you (except Szayel), a young man appears from behind you, his face set into a firm, yet sad, scowl. His shaggy strawberry blonde hair is pretty eye-catching, along with the black and white Shihakusho he wears and the large sword on his back, even as he gently tries to lead you back into the lobby and away from what was once your body. You can still clearly hear and see the living, if you want to try - but they can't see or hear you.

'Welcome to the world of the dead in this Resort,' he says, quietly. 'Looks like you're stuck here with the rest of us.'

He hands you a tablet, just like the one you had before. "You'll need this if you want to keep talking to them,' he explains, looking sad.

It looks like you've passed on, and yet...You still feel like you have a role to play in all of this.]

[ SIGHS HEAVILY ]

I can't believe him. He was the reason I even left my room to begin with, too.

[justonezero]

[...

......]

Atsushi's the Cleaner?

[dereban]

[ Inaba nods in response to his question. ]

Yeah. He didn't tell me outright, but. . . I kind of figured it out on Monday. Kurusu knows, too.

[justonezero]

He does know about shady things, huh...

[Like how to do a kill like that.]

[dereban]

Mm.

[ She's very much aware of his background. ] I thought that it would be better to go out and get killed by one of the monsters than to. . . have him kill me if I holed myself in my room and potentially have that considered as "not playing the game".

[justonezero]

Is it against the rules to stay inside all night?

[He just

went for it.]

[dereban]

I don't know. But in normal mafia, if you're chosen you have to die. That's finite. So I was thinking that was the case here as well, too.

[justonezero]

...

That's a really big assumption to make...

[dereban]

It is, but I-- I didn't want to risk it.

[justonezero]

But you still died anyway?!

He's going to be sad about that, you know.

[dereban]

Like I said, I'm not strong at all. You could say this is the lesser of two evils.

[justonezero]

...Maybe more people should try staying inside no matter what.

[dereban]

I don't know if that would help. . .

[justonezero]

Anyway, Atsushi definitely cares about you. He got really serious about it!

[dereban]

[ heavy, long suffering sigh. again. ]

That's only one person, though. There might still be someone who hates me. I wouldn't be surprised if there is. Because I deserve it.

[justonezero]

Well, yeah!

[I mean. Obviously.]

But there's lots of people who care about you, too! I think that's much more important.

[dereban]

I don't think so.

And you're not going to be able to cause a repeat of last week to convince me. Because it's not going to work.

[justonezero]

Got it! I'll go tattle to Minato next.

[dereban]

. . . do you think that's going to work? Telling everyone? Words won't be enough to convince me. They can't.

[justonezero]

I'll tell him to give you another hug!

[dereban]

Telling him to do something is also not going to convince me, Nanase.

[justonezero]

You won't tell me what will, so I need to get creative.

Should I ask Atsushi to give you a kiss?

[dereban]

Do. Not.

He's the type that'll do almost anything if you order him to do it.

[justonezero]

Akira, then! Orr... Cinquey?

[dereban]

Don't ask people to kiss me, what the hell?! That's not going to help. First of all, Kurusu already has somebody and it's fine.

And Cinque. . . I can only see her as a friend.
