GRAVEYARD

[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.]

[Look, he's gotta do the dumb protag thing at least once?? Let him live...! Or die, rather.

With that said, that does get him to falter a bit.]


...We don't know that yet, right? Besides, I have to at least try.

It wasn't you.

[Firmly.]

You weren't the killer. The killer is already dead--the Jorogumo is dead.

[...]

That's... that's not the point. Whenever they asked for votes, it was always by name; the Jorogumo was just... a role.
messianic: (A dying animal;)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-12-29 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No. That is the point. You're...a victim here too.

You can't give up your life like this. You can't.
relentlesslyonwards: (oh. well this is awkward.)

[Cognitively, he does understand: without the Jorogumo manipulating him, he wouldn't have done any of those things of his own volition. But it's hard to reconcile that with what he actually remembers, where everything he did felt natural, unplagued by doubts or guilt.

That's why he looks uncomfortable when Minato says the word 'victim' -- because it sure as hell didn't feel like it, not in his mind. But that's not something he can argue right now, so he lets it pass without comment. He runs a hand through his hair.]


I... alright. I don't think she's even listening anymore anyways, so it was probably pointless from the start.

[Minato really can't even begin to imagine how Rean feels, but even so...

Even so, this is something that's important for him to know.]


... Yeah. It seems... like there's not a lot any of us can do now.
relentlesslyonwards: (or MAYBE we could not do something dumb)

[personal profile] relentlesslyonwards 2018-12-29 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's absolutely grateful for the words, even if he's not sure if he can accept them at this point. But that's something he'll have to work out on his own time, and especially not in the middle of a trial like this.]

As much as I hate to admit it... yeah. We'll just have to be there for whoever arrives.

[Sighs.]
messianic: (with rustling shade)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-12-29 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Yeah.

It's true.]


They're going to need the support... we can at least do that much.
diesifkilled: i would just live there. (honestly if i got stuck under a snowdrif)

[personal profile] diesifkilled 2018-12-29 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[If I don't get to do the dumb protag thing then neither do you!!]

This has nothing to do with who's guilty. All you'd be doing is getting yourself killed for good.

[Plans foiled by too many people being around to keep them from being dumb protags, alas...!!

Hearing this causes him to deflate, shoulders slumping as his gaze drops to the floor.]


...I can't just sit around and do nothing. Especially now, of all times.
diesifkilled: because of the times you see, they will expect things of me, which at a time like this or any other time, is bad. (often times people will often)

[personal profile] diesifkilled 2018-12-29 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Believe me, I know. I hate it too.

But there's nothing we can do about it right now. We'll just have to trust in everyone else.
relentlesslyonwards: (...)

[personal profile] relentlesslyonwards 2018-12-29 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. You're right.

[...]

It's been like this for you guys the whole time, hasn't it. Just watching and not being able to change things.
diesifkilled: oh i wasn't listening i was just acknowledging the fact you were telling me something, whatever it was. (you're telling me!)

[personal profile] diesifkilled 2018-12-29 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That's pretty much how it's been, yeah.

Though at least we've been able to talk with people this time, so that's something.
relentlesslyonwards: (huh. that's a pretty good point.)

[personal profile] relentlesslyonwards 2018-12-29 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[A nod, and-- wait.]

..."This time"?
diesifkilled: of hair (thinking about inventing a new style)

[personal profile] diesifkilled 2018-12-29 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, well. This is my second time being in a situation like this. The first was at the camp.
