Round 4 graveyard
[When your character dies, however that may be, they will feel themselves floating. For a moment or two they will linger at the site of their death, hovering just above everyone, watching.
Then they will feel a pull and they will get tugged all the way to the studio, through a wall, through the hall, through a door.
The place they end up in looks to be a backstage area. There is an area for storing supplies, a coat rack full of empty prinny costumes, a lounge area, and a place to rest. All of these areas are marked by a green border between the described rooms and the doors that go elsewhere. You will see prinnies come and go, hurrying around as they do their work for the day. But within those borders, some of the prinnies will take off their suits, revealing the human souls within. Men, women, old, young, there is a large mix. They are all very dead, though, and seem used to being dead.
And among all of the dead is one living girl, one who seems to be running the show behind the set. She can be found giving instructions to prinnies and telling them where to put things, but she will always take time to give everyone who arrives the same warning:]
Hi there! I'm Marona, and this is the backstage area. There's a lot to do yet, so if you could help us out I would really appreciate it.
All the areas with the green on the floor are safe to be in as ghosts. Your souls won't get pulled away as long as you stay in the safe areas. If you want to go outside of there, though, you have to put on a prinny suit. And if you do that, you have to follow the rules of the prinnies: no killing anyone, follow the orders you're given by the living, and try not to blow up too much.
If you have any questions, I'll be here! But you can come and go as you like. Just don't give Mr. Dazai too much trouble, okay?

How noisy... I suppose that's as much proof as anything else.
[Mrghhh but okay fine it's time to go prinny he guesses. So now there's at least one empty prinny suit that's probably levitating in front of Dazai as Sandalphon gets in it?? Hurray.]
no subject
Stop that, idiot!
[Just.. going to put this on like he remembers it happened in the backstage a few days ago. Does this just work like putting on a costume? Can he be heard in it??]
Can you hear me?
no subject
Ah! You guys made it too, huh? I'm glad, I was worried.
[He sounds a bit sheepish as he speaks.]
I'm sorry, but I left a lot of work for you guys. And someone is throwing a sword around too.
no subject
... You doing okay? How did you...?
[ gesture!!! ]
no subject
[Ha...hahaha...
At least he seems to be alright if he's got enough in him to worry about the prinnies?]
I'm glad you're alright. We were worried.
[A careful patapat with a flipper! Wow this is weird.]
no subject
That was me.
no subject
I think I can guess who you are.
[And then, to everyone:]
I'm not really sure how, but I guess I'm alright? I was in a lot of pain a moment ago. What happened?
no subject
[Two minutes dead and already wearing a penguin suit. What is his life.... death?]
Alcor-san exploded. You saved everyone, and... I don't know. A clock appeared?
no subject
You're doing great, okay?
[ He nods at Doezai. ]
And, yes... there was a clock that swung between "just" and "heroic" - the needle stopped right between them, and then you returned to life.
no subject
We also saw flashes of what transpired during the game as it swung... as if it was judging you for your deeds in life.
no subject
[He gives Prinnysushi a sad look for a moment there.]
I'm so, so sorry. I had to kill two of you today, or 'Mission control' was going to take over the game. I thought it would be best to leave it to random chance, but...
[...well.
The clock talk is interesting, though, and Dazai focuses on that.]
It was judging me, huh? I wonder why it stopped in the middle. I haven't seen anything like that before. Weird... I wonder if any of my books mention it...but I guess I should check on the others first and worry about that later.
[Also, he's covered in glitter. Forgot to mention that before.
Speaking of checking on the others:]
...oh! If I go out there looking like this without any injuries on me, it's gonna be suspicious. Can you guys punch me a few times, and maybe stab me a little too? I know I definitely deserve it anyway, so I won't fight it.
no subject
[He can't smile at him like this, but he's getting another flipper pat! Ew, he got glitter on his flipper.]
....B-but... punching you? Stabbing you?! Are you really sure about that?!
no subject
Okay.
[ He's already punching him-- ]
no subject
Incidentally, I hold no ill will towards you in regards to my execution, but...
[He winds up for a punch.]
Would you mind enlightening me on why you chose that method, of all things? [Then he swings.]
no subject
Ah, you survived. [ In a certain interpretation of it anyway, but Alcor doesn't seem bothered. ]
Yes, I can help in this matter. I am glad you have truly started taking into account how important perceptions are due to the nature of this game. [ Because what you wanted was some sage advice from a ghost star who just exploded on you, sure. But yeah he's levitating some rocks and tossing them Doezai's way. He's not doing it with any real force but it'll probably hurt just because he's still not great at moderating his powers towards others in most circumstances. ]
no subject
[And there's Goro's punch.]
-um, it was in the heat of the moment-
[And there's Sandalphon's.
He doesn't even say anything for the third one though, because he can't hear Alcor as a ghost. But he sees the rocks and mouths 'what the fuck' before getting struck by them.
You're doing great guys, keep going.]
no subject
If he's sure...
Well, enjoy getting flipperslapped a bunch by Prinsushi. They are short on time.]
Sorry! But you don't deserve this, so don't say that.
no subject
[ Still, he's taking a step back and summoning Robin Hood - his weakest Persona. Have a very weak Megaton Raid - it's physical damage, so enjoy that cut to the... cheek, since Goro's aiming there.
After all, they are only doing this for show. ]
no subject
[And with that, he slips out of the prinny suit to manifest a pair of brown wings, taking flight. As a bright glyph lights up behind him--]
I suggest that none of you move. Now, let the bell of judgment sound. Ain Soph Aur!
[As dozens of beams of light shower down, there's probably going to be a decent amount of additional damage happening to the surroundings. With that said, he will tone things down for this; normally the beams of light are enough to cause explosions, but here the most they'll do is cause some charring as they hit the ground. However, he's very careful not to hit any of the prinnies or ghosts, and while some of the beams may get close enough to Dazai to leave some burns, none will strike him directly unless he moves straight into one.]
no subject
And after that he's teleporting away again cause hmm he's finally starting to pull together the pieces of what he's done and the consequences of it all. Hm. ]
no subject
Okay guys, you did great, but I think that's enough now.
no subject
[He bounces a little on the... tips of his peg legs, falling quiet for a moment.]
I don't know how this is going to get explained away, though.... Please be careful, Kai.
no subject
It's more convincing than that act of his, at least... although I suppose this week wasn't bad.
Anyway, watch your back. As much as I hate to rely on you for anything, it's better than the alternative.
no subject
... It does look good enough, yes. After all, the cameras can't pick up enough details for people to sit and scrutinize everything too closely.
[ There's a deep breath. Then, there's a tense pause. ]
Can I ask a favor?
no subject
[He's teasing.]
Yeah? What is it?
