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?

[ He's quiet for a considerable amount of time. His voice, when he finally speaks, is quiet. ]

... Yeah. I- do...

[Leo pretty much matches that long silence, pulling ever so slightly away from Goro as if he expects to be rejected.]

... I think this is mine. Because I was... jealous.

[Something crumples in his expression at that word, something sad and yet disgusted and all of it focused inward. He's disappointed in himself whenever he keeps money for his own needs instead of sending it to his sister. He's disappointed in himself when he flees from danger while his friends face it head on. He's disappointed in himself when he sees what other people have and he wishes he had it, too.]

[ He lets Leo pull away as much as he wants to, but he certainly isn't doing any pushing. As he listens, his expression tenses. ]

... Then that would make us... painfully similar.

[ Goro's expression outright falters as he looks away. ]

It hurts, being jealous. For me, it felt like a neverending emptiness that, no matter what I did, it... wouldn't go away.

[ After a moment... ]

But, I think there's still hope - for you, I think... you'll find your place. You have people who care about you. All things considered, you did it with a desire to protect someone important to you, right?
eldritcheyes: (what is the thing I can't lose sight of)

People who care about me....

[Leo leans forward, pressing his forehead against his drawn-up knees.]

Silver might never talk to me again. Oda isn't alone, he has Saki. And you... you and Akira and Atsushi, you're all here together. I wish... I could just give you the Eyes, Goro. You'd probably get a lot more use out of them, plus you can fight. I'm nobody. Practically everybody else paired or grouped off, and I'm this... this... pube-headed dweeb who cries all the time and nearly pisses himself if somebody yells "boo!" No wonder nobody even... nobody... they... fuck, I really am selfish... people are dead and I'm worried about this? Michella would be ashamed of me....

[Thanks for getting the "pube-head" thing stuck in his brain, Zapp. See what you've done, you've given a perfectly nice guy anxiety AND made him insecure.]
