#GRAVEYARD

Well, that sucked! That might be your first thought when you open your eyes to find yourself in a lavishly decorated room with a nice, soft bed. Or maybe you’re thinking about something else, it doesn’t really matter, since the only important thing right now is that you’re alive. Sort of. You’re still dead, but you also still exist, so that’s better than nothing. Whenever you decide to leave the room to venture out into the rest of the building, you’ll find that… hm. You sure have found yourself somewhere interesting, and there are plenty of places to explore. Foods from all of the weeks prior can be found in the hotel’s kitchen, as well as an entertainment center in the next room; just because you’re dead-dead doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun while the Reaper’s Game continues. Dare you try your luck with the ice cream machine in this weird place…? Or do you explore the mysterious board game that rests on the lobby’s table? Nothing’s stopping you. You’re absolutely able to leave the hotel, by the way. As soon as you step outside, you’ll find yourself in whatever area is currently open to the remaining Players for the current week. The only thing is, in addition to being invisible to the shadowy denizens of the RG... it seems you can’t interact at all with your fellow active Players in the UG, either. Weird! But that’s okay, you’re not totally alone in this limbo-squared! There are others around who you can interact with, and you might recognize them as the other people who have been Erased during the course of the game. In fact, there’s one rather special resident of this place... it’s none other than Dahlia Hawthorne. You might remember her as Utena Tenjou’s murderer from the first week! Upon seeing you, she smirks, welcoming you to the party. “Did you really think you'd seen the last of me? Welcome to the Under-Underground—the loser’s playground, a failure like the rest of us,” she taunts, swirling the teacup in her hand with an almost gleeful look in her eyes. Then, as if to preempt whatever the new arrivals wish to respond with, she rolls her eyes and adds, “The stupid name wasn’t my choice, by the way. As if I’d choose something that dumb to preside over.” game info ☠ setting ☠ statuses ☠ ic profiles private conversations ☠ murder proposals ☠ money full nav

Hmmm... But, honestly... are we supposed to?

[deductionary]

[ stares. at. ]

You cannot be seriously asking me this question.

[chr]

I'm serious. This game was put together in a strange way, right? Reapers are the main source of information, and yet, we are in this strange game. Are we supposed to rely on Dahlia, or are we supposed to rely on each other? Communication is key, so perhaps working out what we think the pins might do, based on their names is how we are supposed to approach this. It's not that I can't respect your way of doing this, but as a Player, I think there's more to this game than just reading the guide book, you know...? Haha!

.......

[ at this point he's going to. point to his wings. they're in full view. ]

Funny that you should mention that when the only person who's ever talked to me is Mike-san and Fancy Hat-kun.

[chr]

Is that frustrating for you?

[ genuinely curious. ]

[deductionary]

[ shrugs. ]

Honestly? It's not my problem anymore.

I'm supposed to be here to help with the Game, but if you're convinced you're on the right track and don't want to listen to the other side and the advice they may offer, why would I even bother with helping Players? There's nothing in it for me.

I earned my second chance at life a long time ago.

The other side made no attempt to communicate with us, though. As a Player, I've only felt cornered. Your point of view is that of a Reaper, and because of that, you have felt like you have a position of power. But we Players have been in the dark about this game from the beginning, put in a position where no matter what, we must kill another person to survive. Well, I don't particularly care about that part because people die every day, myself included obviously, but the mental strain of such a thing is really incredible for others...

The point I'm getting at here is that it seems you are only considering how you feel right now, Edogawa. I'd like to understand you, as a Player, because my interest is in working with people. The reason I chose Chaos is because it is a truly neutral force in the world. The only thing that does not judge is that which is random, and by definition, Chaos is a random, unrelenting force. I feel that the best way we can help these people is to force them to rely on their own wits.

Also, to be frank, we didn't use the fingerprinting kit. A blacklight would similarly sit unused, I believe... Something that is only a minor nuisance might even be a little fun for them, don't you think? Haha!
