GRAVEYARD

[pandatreasure]

[You know you must have died—nothing is ever easy around here, certainly not quick, so you must remember burning, bleeding, falling, dying?

And yet. You're waking up.

Do you recognize it here, once you pick yourself up off of the hard floor, maybe half-strewn across a couch or beanbag chair? This room died, too: you're in the library, good as new and maybe better than that, only barely smelling of burnt paper and you only sometimes kick up ash, just like those old wounds that finished you off only ache every now and again, dully.

The book selection isn't quite the same as you remember it—all the bad erotica that didn't die is missing here, sorry to say, but so are the books on everyone's home worlds. Snoop around enough and behind the librarian's desk, you'll find tablets: one for each participant of the game, and with enough experimentation, you'll find the one that reacts when you press the button. You're already logged into your Recyclr account and can read the feed, but the same rules apply: 140 characters, one tweet a day. The voting app is gone, replaced by a sort of security monitoring kind of app. Characters can view different rooms of the school, or even place a few side by side so they can view a few at a time, and they'll be able to see the living go about their day to day lives. There's even an archive of recordings, but only the important ones: murders, executions, investigations, trial highlight reels, and major events like libraries being burned down. Was watching yourself die once not enough? Boy have I got good news for you!!!

It's kind of exciting that you can go around touching stuff, probably, despite being super dead and vaguely transparent in a way you notice like your own breathing; you don't and then you do and it's all you can think about, but your tangibility only extends to the inanimate: try to touch any of your fellow deceased and you'll find that you just pass right on through like touching cold air.

The windows aren't bolted up with those big metal plates on this side of things, but look out of them anytime and it's just pitch-black and still outside, so that's demoralizing. There is, of course, the door out of the library—but for now it's locked up tight. Whatever is a ghost to do?]

[NOPE. YOU ARE TOO BUSY BEING ASSAULTED AND YELLED AT.

BYYYYE....]

[flamingprick]

[NOPE HE'S LOOKING THROUGH THE LIBRARY NOW]

Dazai, I know you're here. Just come out already.

[cw_suicide]

[nope. why would he make this easy for you after this?]

[flamingprick]

[He wouldn't, but.]

Come on! I'll start calling you 'Banzai-dono' if you don't!

[Since he seemed to hate that name and all.

Is he in the bookshelves anywhere? Rin is looking back there now.]

[cw_suicide]

[BOOK GETTING THROWN AT YOUR HEAD FROM SOMEWHERE ABOVE?]

[flamingprick]

[He expected it to go through him, but it hits!]

Ow!

[And then he looks up.]

[cw_suicide]

[Dazai sitting on some bookshelves. all see-through and everything.]

[flamingprick]

[Oh, hello Dazai.

Rin is going to reach right through Dazai's legs, grab the books in the shelf right behind them, and roughly pull them out. Because he is a bastion of maturity right now.]

[cw_suicide]

[sure. fine. do that. it just makes his feet kick up a bit before settling back where they were.]

[flamingprick]

[Well okay then. Rin will just drop the books there.]

You know, you're lucky Will confessed before we all died. I didn't write you a letter because I wanted to yell at you in person for everything that happened.

[cw_suicide]

[congrats, Rin.

you're the only one he manages to level something almost resembling a glare.]

Should I congratulate you for fulfilling Graham-san's threat for him, then?

[sharp and definitely. angry.]

[flamingprick]

[He's just getting a confused look in return.]

What threat?

[cw_suicide]

[waves a dismissive hand toward the door]

You can read it yourself.

[flamingprick]

[Sure, he'll go ahead and read it. And when he's done he comes back.]

What I wanna know is how you managed to piss him off so badly that he wanted to kill us. And also why didn't do it the night I was left alone with him.

[cw_suicide]

[SIGHS SO HEAVILY.]

Obviously it's because my clues were getting notice and he was getting angry that I was outing him for what he's done. Except he probably thinks I'm making it about my death when, in fact, he needs to answer for the crime of drugging and enabling a suicidal child into suicide.

Before those clues, he had been flying under the radar and aiming to get out of here by just making the six friends needed to opt out. Now he's got five down and this Killing Night will be the last chance to get justice for Tsumugi-kun or he gets away with murder.

[flamingprick]

See, we got that he had influenced Tsumugi somehow, but none of us knew about the drug stuff. Not until he admitted to it just recently.

Hiyori won't let it go. He'll do something about it. And now that everyone knows about what happened, he'll get punished.

[cw_suicide]

Pardon me for not having very much faith when both you and Ichigo-kun both went at Hiyori-kun the way you did during the trial.

[flamingprick]

Well maybe if Akira had told us what was up then we wouldn't have suspected Hiyori!

[cw_suicide]

From the sound of it, Hiyori-kun told you what was up. Or did you have reasons to doubt my messages? That is why he went to you three, isn't it? That was the point of it!

[just. he's so mad. and frustrated.]

Next time, don't consult with Ichigo-kun about these things. Consult someone who actually uses their head!

[flamingprick]

Well I mean, I did believe him. I just thought he was using that truth to get away with murdering someone else.

[cw_suicide]

And he pointed out very clearly the reasons why he wouldn't have been able to murder Furudo-san and you both still got him four votes total.

Never try being detectives again. You're both very terrible at it.

[JUST FUCKING SAYING.]

[flamingprick]

[He is grabbing another book and actually trying to hit Dazai in the knee with it. If he can't punch Dazai then at least he can do this.]

[cw_suicide]

[UR ONLY MAD BECAUSE I'M RIGHT

doesn't object to getting hit, though.]

[flamingprick]

[YEP PRETTY MUCH

And. Well. What if he grabs the bookshelf and shakes it too?]

[cw_suicide]

[THEN I GUESS HE'S JUST HOLDING ONTO THE BOOKSHELF UNTIL YOU STOP?]
