Look, I'm just going to ask this straight out.

Who here's dead?

[... Smart ass responses incoming in three... two... one.]

And no, we don't need to swap death stories, that's dumb.

Comments

[fracta_anima]

What about life stories?

[poweryetunknown]

[But he doesn't even know her -]

[... But he didn't know Shiki before, either.]

... If you want, I guess.

VOICE

[ghost_shield]

Not me. I'm guessing you are, however, or else you wouldn't bother asking.

*He sounds pretty nonchalant about this.*

Voice

[poweryetunknown]

Yeah. It's kind of a really long and complicated story, so.

[He's not exactly eager to spill.]

[deathboss]

I ain't sure if I'm supposed to be dead or not.

[poweryetunknown]

... How are you not sure?

[palletless]

um
maybe?
probably???

voice;

[poweryetunknown]

... At least I'm not the only one.

[text - locked]

[fools_journey]

Why do you want to know?

[ This is a subject of interest to Minato, even as he really... doesn't want to talk about it any more than Neku does. But he wants to know why before he admits to anything. ]

[text - locked]

[poweryetunknown]

I'm kind of curious. I've been dead for a few weeks at home. There's also the fact that my pins won't work if I can't make a pact with another Player, so I thought maybe if there was someone else in the Reaper's Game here I could make a pact with them.

[autofocus]

... Too convenient to be the afterlife.

[Been there, all there were are creepy souls and no cute girls. He's far too into the idea that he's just in some different world or something instead of dying from blood lost. Again.]

[poweryetunknown]

I didn't say this was. I've seen at least one afterlife, and it's not this.

[greyerrant]

Death rejected me.

[poweryetunknown]

How nice for you.

[kagami_arrow]

That's a rather morbid question to ask, isn't it?

But to answer it, I have died twice before.

[poweryetunknown]

Probably.

[Like he cares.]

... Huh. Twice? How'd you manage that?

text

[drakenguard]

What a blunt way to ask a question like that.

In any case, I am.

[No death stories here, and no asking why Neku's asking it because PRETTY OBVIOUS AS TO WHY]

text

[poweryetunknown]

Deal with it, etc.

Huh. More than I expected.

[audio] [filtered]

[getoutclaus]

I'm not dead, and I wasn't dead before I got here. That'll help you put up the "not dead" numbers incase they're running low.

What about you? Is Disco dead back home?

[audio] [filtered]

[poweryetunknown]

Thanks, I was really hurting for those.

... Yeah. For about three weeks now, actually.

[voice - locked]

[greatseal]

Is there a reason you're collecting statistics?

[locked for... similar reasons to Minato. She's just not ready to declare her death to everyone on the network. Plus there's someone she's avoiding telling.]

[voice - locked]

[poweryetunknown]

[Hey, he can respect that. He'd have locked this too if there were someone from his life that was here.]

[Not that they'd probably believe it anyway.]

I'm curious. And uh. Some of my... powers, I guess you could call them... don't work unless I make a pact with someone else who's in the Reaper's Game. And everyone there is dead.

... And I guess maybe I kind of want to know that I'm not the only person who's confused as to whether they count as alive or dead or some kind of weird zombie thing.

[voice]

[whereibelong]

There are people here who are?

[Well that's... not encouraging for multiple possible reasons, considering Riku doesn't remember her and the only reason he wouldn't be able to remember her is something happened to her and she'd died, basically... Whether that means something for her personally, her future, or if there's something more going on... she isn't sure.]

[voice]

[poweryetunknown]

Yeah. Me, for one.

[He'd... accepted it by now but it didn't sound any less weird.]

Voice

[kings_thief]

Why do you want to know?

Voice

[poweryetunknown]

I'm curious to know how many of us are in the same boat.

[ voice ]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I kind of died once.

[ voice ]

[poweryetunknown]

... 'Kind of'?

text; first comment with kitty on the network

[fateaversion]

[ You get a text response. Of course, kitties can't write very well - so it's ghost-voice to text! Wizardry. ]

I'm dead.

Why are you asking?

text; hooray!

[poweryetunknown]

I just wanted to know how many of us were in the same situation.

anonymous text;

[handshakegreeting]

I have been dead for quite some time...

I suppose you could say I was one of the "first."

text;

[poweryetunknown]

[... Well that's not creepy at all.]

... Huh. How long is 'quite some time', out of curiosity?
