[Seiko needed time. Time to come to grips with the fact she was alive, yet alone. Time to lament and be her not-so-bubbly self. So she took it.

Now, she feels more up to talking to people, and thanks to the time alone, pretty much figured out how the weird, see-through phone in her hands worked. So she turns on the video option and smiles, knowing that any small movement of her head would show the marks around her neck.]

Yaho~. My name's Seiko Shinohara. I'm from Kisaragi Academy, class 2-9. It looks like we're all in the same boat, so I hope we all get along.

[She bows, then comes back up, still smiling.]

So, am I the only one here who's supposed to be dead?

[the_ninja]

Honestly, I've never found death to be a particularly finite thing anyway.

[A pause. She's pretty young judging by her appearance. Dying was traumatic enough for him and he's probably got ten years on her on top of practically being raised with the possibility of agonizing defeat at the forefront of his mind. She's just a kid- how did she even...?

Maybe he's going soft.]

... doesn't make it any easier, though. You okay?

[Video]

[hanged_pervert]

[A chuckle.]

All things considered, I'm okay. Thanks.

Then again, maybe if I'm here, that means my friends are all alive, too.

[the_ninja]

A few people around here seem to know each other- maybe you'll be in luck. [he manages a chuckle of his own] If that hasn't already run out with your death-defying appearance here.

You're taking dying very well for a kid, you know.

[hanged_pervert]

Hehe~. If me being dead keeps my friends alive, then I'll take it.

[She grins.]

[the_ninja]

You say that like it was an exchange of some kind.

[Or a sacrifice. Either way, it strikes a peculiar chord with him; he can remember expressing a very similar sentiment when he was killed.]

[doctor_insano]

You're supposed to be dead?

[Video]

[hanged_pervert]

Last I checked, yep.

[Video]

[doctor_insano]

Have you returned to get your revenge?

[Video]

[hanged_pervert]

Ah, I would, but I'm not at the place I died, so that's impossible.

[Video]

[doctor_insano]

No urges to rip people's hearts out then?

[darkhourdear]

[Supposed to be dead, huh...]

You don't seem very bothered by that.

Video

[hanged_pervert]

Well, I can't say I'm thrilled with it, but if me being dead means my friends stay alive, I can deal.

Video

[darkhourdear]

[hang on, he's trying to work through this.]

Even if you can't see them?

Video

[hanged_pervert]

[She beams and nods.]

Yep. If it means they escape and don't suffer, then I'm fine with it. It's kind of a crappy trade-off, but there ain't much I can do about it.

[spiritualist]

You're supposed to be dead...? [Excuse her. She channels spirits so this really pings her.]

(video)

[hanged_pervert]

Pretty much. It's a long story.

(video)

[spiritualist]

Er, sorry to ask, but are you alive here? Or are you currently being channeled or something like that?

(video)

[hanged_pervert]

[Channeling? Ayumi told her about that once, where someone in tune with the spirit world allows the dead to enter their body.]

Ah, I'm alive. I've seen my reflection, and this is my body.

[Scratching an itch in front of someone is rude, yes, but her neck scar is bugging her.]

[facaded]

Would you mind explaining what you mean by "supposed to be dead?"

Video

[hanged_pervert]

Ah... It's kind of a long story.

[That and it sounds completely insane - unless you lived it of course.]

Video

[facaded]

Do you mean that you died in your own world, and then woke up here?

I'm not interested in prying into the details.

Video

[hanged_pervert]

Yep, that's about the size of it.

[video + text for Doll, always and forever.]

[hollowbutnotempty]

*What looks like a toy looks back to its phone's camera at her, all pale plastic "skin" and purple-gray hair, and lacking a mouth or even detail on the nose and ears. Heck, it's missing proper eyes, instead having yellow irises that just hang there in the darkness of the shadows behind its eye-holes, glowing faintly. While it could certainly count as a creepy doll, there's something soft about its expression, almost a faint frown, concerned, as it figures out how to answer before finally typing.*

sposs to be ded?

u ok?

*it pauses after sending that, something still on its mind. It sets its phone down on the floor, giving her a clear view of... the underside of a blanket? ...and at the edge of the camera's view, it leans over and pulls a sheet aside, to peek outside before coming back, picking up the phone again.*

not in a boat?

*...her earlier comment apparently confused it.*

((Oh wow, am I ever late. Sorry, I was sure this'd posted.... Uh, feel free to ignore if you want?))

[Video]

[hanged_pervert]

[Awww, it's creepy-cute. She smiles.]

Yeah, I'm okay. And nope, no boats here.

[Video]

[hollowbutnotempty]

*Well, a pillow-fort like this doll is in might not hold up very well on a boat anyway. It still looks confused, though.*

u sed in a boat

*A pause, but it shakes its head, apparently dismissing that train of thought*

u come back to aftir daing

daieng

dyang

*a slight pause...*

was ded to?

*There, easier. Stupid spelling... why did English have to be so difficult?*
