GRAVEYARD

[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?]

[stares at her, foppish expression bleeding away into a calculated stare]

Or perhaps I'll scold Akira-kun very firmly if he gets found out and ends up here. He knew what he risked when he committed the crime, Furudo-san. And if he decided on murder anyway, then it truly must be for what he perceives as a very good reason.

For the record, there are few people that I would give the impression of caring about enough to lead one to think I would bother with a warning. And out of the three, Akira-kun is the less tender-hearted. So playing coy with your answer is just redundant.

When he gets found out.

If the detective is to be killed, they will drag the culprit into the abyss with them.

...Of course, a truly Great Detective will not even die from that.

If you can't even accept the fact that you're already dead, it would be extremely foolish to think it'll be thanks to you that he will be caught. It's the living who will determime his fate, Furudo-san. Not the dead.

You dont't get a vote.

I told someone I was going out with Akira.

[personal profile] cw_suicide 2018-01-20 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Then I suppose you'd better hope they believe that person over Akira-kun.

They will.

[... frowns]

The only question is... if they won't be too much of a coward to announce it.

A coward, is it? My~ What an interesting time the living must be having.
