FINAL TRIAL

[When the doors open, the killed also find themselves allowed into the Room of Reckoning as well. And - similar to the living - they, too, have a table, with their own names and places and sitting pillows. They, too, receive the note on their phones with a ping.

The dead, however, have something else that the living do not have.

They can see that there is someone sitting on the gold pillow by the stairs.]

I'm less certain there, but I wonder...

It's possible our psychs wouldn't work in the Realground. Being able to use these sigils to perceive the Noise would be of limited use if we can't fight them. We've already seen that they're impervious to normal weaponry.

Shouldn't the difficulty of using psychs go down the higher up you go? Strangerground hardest, Realground medium, Underground easiest. [This is just a vague assumption Dio made from the layer section though...] I wanna see someone test it out.

Perhaps we could convince them to...retune one of us? Or, I suppose, we could simply ask if anyone has tried.

[Kurama props his chin on his hand, frowning thoughtfully.]

As well, it's quite possible to visit the realm of the spirit in my world. Astral projection isn't even that difficult to learn, generally speaking, I'm sure any of us with the level of power they seem to be collecting here could do it.

It would be quite a bit more convenient if we could simply live for the most part, and then step away from our bodies into the Underground when we were needed.

[notgentle]

Imprinting the idea on someone who's still alive seems easier...

[Dio weighs with his hands.]

This "astral projection" might be good, but is it that different from the way some of these guys can go back and forth at will even after they've died?

[foolishjustice]

Seeing as they would need to have a focus for the Psyche anyway, it would be easiest to just have someone who can go back and forth ask someone to try.

Or even just try it themselves, unless their powers include being able to use Psyches when it wouldn't be possible for an ordinary person.

We haven't seen that they are impervious to abnormal weaponry, like the sword I used to open the way to the elevator. We also haven't seen if they are impervious to powers from other worlds, especially the higher elements. There may be worlds out there that already have ways to deal with this and just need a way to see them.
