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

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.

text; it was just too perfect to pass up...

[fateaversion]

That's as good a reason as any.

Do you know of any way to keep other people from seeing this?

I'm not sure if our situations are that similar, after all. I want to make sure. I'd like it if nobody else saw, though.

[greatseal]

[That's... interesting.]

What do you mean?

Voice

[kings_thief]

It did. But, it was a while ago.

[voice - locked]

[poweryetunknown]

To which part?

Voice

[poweryetunknown]

That's... good to hear, I guess?

[What do you say to that.]

text; private;

[poweryetunknown]

Yeah, sure. Give me a second.

[Doo de doo... okay, private.]

That should work.

[poweryetunknown]

Things called the 'Underworld' aren't usually sunny and bright, yeah.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Plus, at that time, it was run by a total jerk.

[palletless]

Yamasks are a kind of pokemon, but nobody here seems to know what those are. They're native to my home.

...that does sound like a ghost. I guess it doesn't matter if we're both visible and alive here, though.

Thanks. About how I arrived

I came in my body, but I'm still a ghost. It's the arrangement I had back home.

I'm able to leave my body and possess things. It's how I'm writing (...speaking?) this.

Is it the same with you?

[ He doubts it, really, but it's worth asking. After all, he's seen way too many humans with cores... ]

Voice

[kings_thief]

[There's a small laugh.]

Yeah, I dunno. It's strange to say or even think about.

How'd it happen? And before you say anything, it's not swapping since I'm not offering my own.

Reaper's Game?

text; private;

[poweryetunknown]

Uh. The only thing I seem to be able to possess is the token people use for Reaper Creeper. Or at least I can move it, I guess it's not really possessing.

I have no idea if my actual body came with me into the Reaper's Game - I don't think so, so I guess I got a new body here? It feels the same as when I was in the Reaper's Game but it felt so much the same that I didn't know I'd died until five days in.

[poweryetunknown]

I can definitely sympathize with that one.

[Dammit Joshua.]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

So I take it you must've died.

The Underworld wasn't run by some smarmy jerk named Hades, was it?

Voice

[poweryetunknown]

Well there was a lot of stuff around it, but I got shot, basically.

[Nondescript enough.]

[poweryetunknown]

Certain souls, if they're strong enough, are entered into the Reaper's Game. If you win, you might get a chance to come back to life, depending on how well you do.

[poweryetunknown]

Like... an animal?

[... huh.]

Yeah, I guess. I could show up in certain places if they had a specific symbol on them, but otherwise people just walked past me without seeing me.

[poweryetunknown]

Yeah, I did.

And while it's an underworld it's not where most souls end up after they die, but it's run by a smarmy jerk named Joshua.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

You'd think people tasked with looking over the souls of the dead would be nicer.

[poweryetunknown]

You'd think, yeah.

[... And yet he misses that jackass. Dammit.]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

The guy who used to oversee the Underworld where I'm from--that's Hades--he kept using souls to create troops for his army! He didn't even give them rest. He eradicated them completely from existence!

[poweryetunknown]

[... Wow.]

That's pretty shitty. Did you punch him in the face for that?
