WELCOME TO THE GAME.
[You have died. When you awaken, it's in your body back to the shape it was in before whatever it was that killed you - but not all is right. Nothing surrounds you but darkness as far as the eye can see. A girl's gentle voice speaks to you from seemingly nowhere. It is a voice you probably haven't heard before.]
It's all right...it'll be all right.
Please forgive me for this, but, you're in the True Game now. As you're now here, on this plane, I...took something from you. Something important. The thing dearest to you. It has to be taken, though, as it's your entry fee - it's one of your means of surviving this!
I promise, we don't mean to do anything terrible to you! But this Game is important, and you getting through it is, as well. You'll receive missions, and for the missions you complete, you'll be given points. The more points you earn, the closer you'll get to leaving this place. And then, when you do finally leave, perhaps you'll understand why you were brought here. You'll regain what you lost, and you'll know the truth.
So please...please survive! I have faith in you! You'll be all right!!
[Sure enough, as soon as she's done explaining and collects your fee, something important of yours is missing. It might be memories, an object, or even a person (that's not a Titled), but they are your collateral now. Your motivation for continuing your existence in this world. You black out, and when you wake again, you're back in the mall, in the bedroom you'd been assigned. You remember everything you'd forgotten while you were alive, although you might have re-forgotten it if that was your entry fee. At least everything here seems mostly the same.
However, there's a few new things to discover... your cell phone now lets you read the surface thoughts of everyone that's living, and imprint thoughts into their heads (except for Croix, The Chance. Maybe it's because she didn't have a power? Who knows.) You also have all the items and money you had when you were still alive, which will be useful, because you still get hungry and, we'll say you still need clothes, but that's actually debatable because you are invisible. Not to other dead people, no, but to the other people in the mall.
Yeah. That's a thing. This version of the mall is full of random people who are using the mall as a mall, and even working the registers - oddly enough, there's this one girl with pink hair who seems to work at all of the restaurants at different times. But no one can see you, except for the shopkeepers of food and clothing stores specifically. (Luckily, the Barcade counts as food.) The Titled can be seen going about their business as well, and you can follow them around and watch them, listen to their conversations. However, nothing you say or do can be perceived by them. Even using your powers goes unnoticed, no matter what you try to do with them. It's like you're in parallel worlds. So that's a little spooky.
Speaking of spooky things, there are also monsters in this version of the mall, though the living seem as able to perceive them as the Titled can perceive you, and even to you they are only barely visible unless you focus on seeing them clearly. But these monsters attack people - they attach to the mall-goers like parasites, however for now, they seem to be leaving the living Titled alone... they prefer to attack the dead Titled, and only the power you gained here seems to truly damage them. They also seem quite difficult to defeat on your own. If one of them happens to come for you, you'll need to find the others, fast. At least if you checked your phone, your first mission told you where to go!]

TRIAL
With this group I'm not surprised that the motive was successful sooner or later...
Suicide CW
[Dio stands a little ways away from his own podium, staring down at Ren's, and then looks up. He speaks with the confidence of someone watching predictably paced forensic television.]
Sanzashi took care of himself and then the Fabricator doctored it.
no subject
[ He's all but smirking too...and then oh, look, Kurama's reveal. ]
Can you say you expected him of all people?
no subject
No wonder you picked him out tbh...
no subject
I wonder, do you think it is much more interesting events panned out this way instead of Kurama watching them send each other to their deaths like a den of fools?
[ He chuckles after sending that. They're all pathetic and watching them struggle, writhing in pain gives him life. ]
no subject
Everything is, like, set up to get you guys on this side. I totally should have just let them think they could do it so this lil' drama conga wouldn't have happened... but the Impossible is like, so cute and sweet (＞﹏＜); It's super hard to lie to her, wah
When Croix confesses
[ Helena actually walks over to Croix podium to glare at her from up close as if that could have any effect in her current ghostly condition. ]
That might have been the most honest thing you ever said, you gigantic liar.
Save as many people as you can? Are you shitting me? You said that and immediately went on to try and kill them all because some superior told you so.
You're a spineless selfish coward who stands for absolutely nothing.
no subject
Is there something I didn't know about the before times? Is there some parasite in everyone's heads that doesn't let anyone confess until some good number of hours after they've committed a murder? [Dio is waving his arms, worked up immensely, also on the "inaudible yelling at Croix" train.] I'm going to fucking kill you, you worldly bitch! At this rate when we find the Boss Lady, you'll learn she had to drop out of high school and get in our fucking way!
no subject
Isn't it funny how nice everyone always is to the people right in front of them? They're all really good at motivational speeches, they could make a career out of it.
But lives aren't even remotely equal to anyone here, huh?
After Kurama confesses
Who will the boy have now, with both Akechi and Kurama dead? Will he end up here next?]
no subject
are you worried about Nags? (｡•́︿•̀｡);
no subject

[Coco that's not the point.]
I can totally keep an eye on the Nagging though? Tho I can't really, like, protect anyone, but there is nothing stopping me from doing stuff for people's peace of mind~
no subject
And I appreciate you doing whatever you can. If you could pass on a message somehow, maybe?

Kurama's suicide // cw for nastiness
Well that's the only half-way sensible thing he's done all week.
no subject
He doesn't agree with murder, but the whole thing is still heartbreaking. So yeah, he's not happy with you.]
no subject
Would you have preferred for all of them to get themselves killed over someone who murdered one of our number? Really?
no subject
no subject
It took them only half a day to forgive each of those murders after all.

Confession-'Execution'
NO!
['Despair is a poison'...the words have an ironic ring to them now, in light of Kurama's chosen method of murder. He falls to his knees, hand covering his face as hysterical laughter wracks his body, barely even registering how Kurama dies. As moments pass, though, the laughter gives way to choking sobs. One person he cared about died painfully, someone else he cared about faced death as the culprit, and the person he loves has now been left betrayed and heartbroken twice over.
...He's not likely to be going anywhere for a while, unless someone hurries him along.]
no subject
He goes to the young man, resting a hand on his back and speaking quietly.]
Come on, you need to be somewhere else. Anywhere but here.
I somehow never saw this notif...
I...can't...
[Even he isn't sure if it's because he can't bring himself to get up, or if his legs are actually too wobbly to support him right now...]
