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.]

[ Oh.

Oh no oh shit oh no-- even though Inaba didn't really know Cynthia that well, the fact that she's here means only one thing. ]

I'm sorry that you ended up here...

[ AT LEAST SHE'S NOT THE ONLY GIRL AROUND ANYMORE THAT'S A GHOST but still ]

[thejusticewagon]

[....well, you know, she doesn't seem that worked up over her death...]

I mean, it could be worse, so I'm not too...

[...wait-]

Ah! Wait! I need to stop Gerome and Vanitas from getting eaten by a tiger!

[dereban]

[ Inaba frowns, the word 'tiger' immediately setting alarms in her mind as she keeps an eye on the tablets, murmuring a name under her breath (Atsushi's name), biting her nail nervously. ]

We should go find them. They're not the only ones that might be potentially in danger.

[thejusticewagon]

Yeah... I thought Atsushi was gonna be able to control himself, but apparently not... so we really need to find him before he hurts anyone else.

[dereban]

He told me that he couldn't.

I think that the reason behind his inability to control it is probably due to some trauma-- [ and there goes the sound of tiger ] I'm going to head upstairs. See if you can't find anybody down here to contact.

[thejusticewagon]

Well... wait, if we're dead, we don't have to worry about dying again, right? So I could just... tackle him down or something?

[dereban]

. . . oh.

I guess I have to explain this since Ichigo isn't around, huh. [ or their "boss", for that matter ] You can die again here. And if you do, you get sent to oblivion, so don't even try it. It would be bad.

[thejusticewagon]

...are you kidding me? We can die twice? ...Then again, I guess most people just get one go around...

[dereban]

Not a joke. You can ask our "supposed" boss. Or Ichigo, later, whenever he's around. They can confirm it. It's pretty bad.

[thejusticewagon]

No, I definitely believe you, but like... we're basically ghosts. I thought you couldn't kill ghosts.

...

Oh well, guess I've gotta just deal with it.

[dereban]

I guess the concept of 'ghosts' kind of are different in this world? Or maybe just in general. Ghost misconceptions are a thing, I suppose.

Like we still need to eat and sleep and all of that.

[thejusticewagon]

Well, I've never been a ghost before, so I guess I wouldn't know how it works. Maybe that's how it always works?

[dereban]

I've never been a ghost before, either.

Maybe that's something we should ask our experts about. Probably also Emiya, since he might have a completely different opinion from Ichigo.

[thejusticewagon]

Yeah, that's probably a good idea. It'd be nice to know how this is probably supposed to work.
