Welcome to Shibuya....the Under Ground. You are now all part of the Reaper's Game. All Players come to the Under Ground for a common reason, and the price you pay to set foot here is the thing you value most. Now, you have 7 days. You have to survive, and you have to complete the missions issued by the Reapers. Better find yourself a strong partner, and trust them. Good luck, and don't get yourself erased...
Ah, I'm just ****ing with you guys! April Fools! Anyway, real IC time!
Where...are you?
As you open your eyes, the darkness of the world around you is almost blinding. It appears as though you are drifting, as if on a boat, alone at sea, mired in endless fog. Time has no meaning for you. You don't know how long you float there. Ten minutes? Twenty? An hour? Four? Perhaps even a week? What does it matter to you? You can't move, can't speak. You just lay there...waiting. Waiting? For what? Something different, perhaps.
And then, there is a light. After that ageless age, finally, you see a light! And from the light, there emits a booming voice, which calls to you. "I Judge you...Unready! The circumstances of your death, which hide even the fact that you are dead from you, have left you clinging to life, to answers. Though I could pass Judgment on you now and send you to the plane of your afterlife, your soul is not ready to move on. And so, you will rot in purgatory, trapped in a shroud of soul and bone, until you find the answers you seek. Now, begone!"
And like that, the light, which only a moment ago seemed ready to engulf you, was extinguished. And your eyes feel heavy. Against your will, you close them, drifting off to a long sleep...
You awaken in a graveyard. You were not on your back, but rather, floating in midair, resting at an angle. Your skin is...you have no skin! You are an ethereal being, a ghost! Looking up, you see others like you! But...where is your body? And yet, when you look down, you see that the angle you were resting on had your back "pressed" against a headstone. And on that headstone reads...your own name?!
The other ghosts all awaken around the same time and come to a similar realization as you. But what could be happening now? You don't remember dying!

I'd like to get some party reactions and interactions out of the way first, so go ahead and have fun describing your reactions and questions and talk to each other, whatever you'd like to do. Plot will officially start with my next post.
