GHOST HUNT (the Prequel)

[copyrights]

Who: YOU
Where: THE GAME TOWER
When: NOW!!!

[You arrive to the game tower where today, the atmosphere seems to be quite s~p~o~o~k~y. Fog seems to cover the entire floor area and any visible area of the tower is covered by things like (fake) spiderwebs and also (fake) spiders hanging around in (fake) trees.

It would probably feel a little more spookier if it wasn't for the fact that music is blaring throughout the tower. Someone is a host today, but it's impossible to tell whom considering they're covered in a white sheet with holes cut out for eyes.

Until they talk anyway.]

I GOT A ★~★~PROMOTION~★~★

To host the greatest haunted house party that you can imagine!! But w-w-w-wait, haunted houses are s-scary! I don't wanna make you guys get too scared so we'll start small . . .

Small . . . tiny . . . miniscule . . .

It's still gonna be dangerous though!! Ghosts are PRETTY uncontrollable, ya know~? I've seen SAWoleen XVI, I know how it goes!!

[He is safe and sound and looking around for the damages, trying to get a mental tally of injured and dead as people filter in.]

[HERE'S A NEW ONE FOR THE 'DEAD' TALLY]

[I mean, the body is alive, but the head shouldn't be that angle]

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

What happened to you guys...

[At least the fix seems straightforward enough? He'll crouch down, twisting the head and neck back into place like some kind of grotesque toy.]

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

[A jealous ghost and bad timing.]

[Thanks fir fixing my head even if that was Really Creepy To Watch.]

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

[Sorry to break it to you Rye but sensitIV healing is pretty much always like this.

Once the corpse is ready for revival, he just plonks himself down to wait it out, until either Rye is revived or his services are requested elsewhere.]

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

[Thanks bro.]

[Also his bag is moving.]

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

[Okay that catches his attention and uh

what the fuck.]

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

[Puuuuulling out a journal. And pencil. And beginning to write.]

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

[...Scootching away but watching the writing.]

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

['I don't know how long I'm supposed to be a ghost for. My body looks like its breathing? Is this normal?']

[Have a note shown to Izanagi.]

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

[............./SQUINT.]

Who's writing?

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

['Its Rye.']

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

[Reading that.

Pausing.

Cautiously scootching over to the body again to check his pulse.

...

Huh.]

...Yeah, the body's still alive. Do you just... need to go back in?

[What the fuck is this game. What the fuck are these punishments.]

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

[There is a Pause.]

['So the ghost thing isn't normal?']

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

You've been here a while now, haven't you? Do you think this is normal?

[His voice is slightly incredulous but honestly he's mostly just. Baffled.]

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

['It seemed to be faster, but I've never been on this end.']

[He]

[Is still processing it, honestly.]

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

"This end..."

[?????]

You mean dead?

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

['Yeah. I haven't died before.']

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

...How lucky for you.

Well, it looks like your deathless streak might be continuing after all?

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

['Yeah, a lot was dependent on timing.']

[He missed any game for Wild City all got killed.]

['I mean, it certainly felt like a death. Though I guess I don't know what's normal for the spirit.']

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, take it from a pro: when you die here, you don't even have consciousness until you wake up again.

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

['Huh. Ghost happened pretty quick. So half a death???']

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

I guess?

It seems to me you're less dead and more... temporarily separated into physical body and spirit.

Re: End Game

[protectshisown]

['And able to just use things and not talk to anyone alive. Really going for broke at being annoying.']

Re: End Game

[bondsofsuffering]

I wonder if that's the state the other ghosts were in, too. The ones that were part of the game itself, that is.
