Seventh Spool of Thread-[Voice/Action]

[Shiki's sitting on a box outside of All Passions, watching the town very very closely]

You're all dressed terribly, every single one of you! You've got to let me help you, no charge at all. Trust me, it's for the best.

[and thus...Shiki will wait for somebody to walk by before she'll drag them inside against their own will. Are you going to dare approach her?]

[[ooc: So...I kind of took two of Shiki's key traits, her desire to help everybody and her fashion-driven sense so that she's got the overwhelming desire to use the people of Luceti as mannequins to "help" them look better. Beware if you talk to her, you will become a mannequin.]]

Thanks. It's...pretty strange, but I've got friends here from home that are in the same situation.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

They came after their own deaths?

[so_shik]

Oh no, I met them when I was dead. We were all alive again before we got here.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

...May I ask about the details of being dead and coming back to life?

[so_shik]

We had to play a game against death and defeat the Composer of the Reaper's Game before we could be alive again.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

This Composer had control over death and the ability to revive people?

[so_shik]

Not necessarily the death aspect, but he controlled the Reaper's Game and used it as bait. If we played and survived, we had the chance to be revived.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

Was it something that only happened in your world, or did the Reaper's Game take place in multiple areas?

[so_shik]

Just our world as far as I know, only in our city too. Joshua even had a false Shibuya and everything.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

That's a lot of work to toy around with people who are already dead.

Still, it's good that you were able to come back to life. You've still got so much life ahead of you.

[so_shik]

It's really all thanks to Neku.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

Neku? A friend of yours?

[so_shik]

[she smiles a little and nods] Yeah. He's...a really good friend of mine. He defeated the Composer and we were all able to go back to the real world.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

He sounds like a good guy. How many of you got through all of that?

[so_shik]

He really is...it was me, Neku, Beat and Rhyme who got through and back to the RG.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

The RG? The world of the living?

[so_shik]

Yeah more or less. There was the RG, the realground, and the UG, the underground. When we were playing the game, we were in the UG and people in the RG couldn't see us at all.

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

So you could run around the world you wanted to get back to, but not affect it at all? That's almost cruel.

[so_shik]

You think so? Why?

[tionysus.livejournal.com]

It's like dangling the bait right in front of you - all the joys of life, but none able to be taken.

[so_shik]

True...extremely true.
