Ghost of a Chance

[cutenonny]

( inspired by a fairly obscure video game, Love Story ) Here's the thing - you're dead. No matter your precautions or lack thereof, you've reached the end of the line. Rotten luck, huh? Actually, you're one of the lucky ones, because you've been sent back. As a ghost, admittedly, but at least one person can see you. And that's key. The conditions of your return, both to the mortal coil and, eventually, back to your body, is that you get them, your sole witness, to fall in love with you. Oh, you also have six days. Easy enough. Comment with your character, information, preferences, and what role you'd like to play. Reply to others. Thread.

[She's about 12-15-ish? She can be aged up for the purposes of shipping, but I'd prefer playing it as a fluffier sort of thing. She's a witch, so she's more likely to play the role of a summoner.]

[ Time has not been kind to Auron. He has done what he could to move on, thrown himself into any task he could find. The way most people look at him with reverence disgusts him - he doesn't know how Braska can stand it - but there's nothing but bearing that, since they don't seem inclined to stop. In the past handful of years, he looks like he's aged ten or more.

Despite his best efforts (though he would deny that) death has not found him, not even in the Den of Woe, as near a thing as that was. Even searching for Spira's lost and hidden history is mostly a matter of passing the time, and a quiet, stubborn hope of finding memory remnants of Zanarkand as it was. Descriptions of it still echo around his skull.

Once in a while he will visit Braska and Yuna on Besaid. It's good to see them - see them happy. But it's hard not to think of a boy who did not get to grow up, who faded, presumably, like his father did.

Not once has Auron visited the Farplane. ]

hi there~ have a Kudari!

[brothercomedy]

[Well, Tobio, I hope the rattling and slams filling your evenings are familiar, then!

Either it's a ghost that's a bit wishy-washy about wanting to scare you, is very shy, wants to find something very badly, or is simply especially clumsy.

He's yet to make himself visible, though, so maybe today's the day! Catch him off-guard, stake him out, or maybe he'll finally show himself on his own. We'll see how it goes!]

[It had been the same as any old regular day. Nagisa had been running late for school, but that wasn't too uncommon of an occurrence. It meant that he missed the bus that he and Rei usually rode on together to get to school, but that would just mean he'd have to take a later one. Get to school a little later, of course, but that was the price he had to pay for sleeping in. But as it would come to pass...fate had other plans for Nagisa.

A few hours into first period, an announcement was made at Iwatobi Highschool. There had been a train crash right near the station due to the breaks failing. Not much information could be given yet, but the station was so close to campus that police cars and ambulances could be heard flying by with sirens blaring. Many people suffered casualties during the accident, some more severe than others depending on where they'd been on the train. Some weren't so lucky.

Perhaps that's why Nagisa's absence from school that day must have been strongly felt as more news came in about the accident, either through teachers or other students whose loved ones had been involved. Midway through the school day, the worst was finally confirmed. Hazuki Nagisa had been pronounced dead on the scene after being pulled from the mangled wreckage of the front of the train.

It had happened so quickly that he never knew what even hit him. One moment he was sitting in his seat, and the next...it was over. The paramedics would assure that it had been instantaneous, but that doesn't make the reality any easier to accept, knowing that he hadn't felt any pain. He'd left too much behind for it not to be.

So, waking up in his own bedroom was definitely...strange. Nagisa couldn't exactly remember how he'd gotten back to his room. Hadn't he been going to school? Did he really fall back to sleep...? Now he'd really be late. His house was empty upon inspection, but that wasn't surprising. His parents had work.

But as the day passed and Nagisa tried to return to school...he would discover that something was very, very wrong. It was like everyone was ignoring him. Like he didn't even exist. Passerby, people he tried to get the attention of, all of it no use. He knew he'd have to find somebody he knew to get to the bottom of this.

It was near the time he was having that thought that he came up on the station where the wreckage of the train could be seen from afar, thick smoke rolling into the sky to frame an eerie scene that Nagisa suddenly couldn't get any closer to. Not because anything was stopping him, no...it was because he could remember stepping onto that very train.

Suddenly, Nagisa found himself wishing he hadn't left his house. He had to find someone, now. But nobody would even give him the time of day, so how could he...? He...he'd need to find his parents. Or...his friends. Rei, Makoto, Haru...They'd be able to help him figure out what had happened, for sure.]

(ooc: if she died in the safe room, she's going to be the angriest ghost.)

[Death sometimes does this. It will allow people to come back as a ghost, giving them a time limit and a task to complete. Most spirits say it's because some people die before they're predicted to, but Jack theorizes it's because Death gets bored and sets the most entertaining ghosts free to cause chaos. Even so, it's a rare occurrence.

Thus, he doesn't expect to see a ghost of a young woman stalking around his town. It's always easy to tell the difference between living mortals, ghosts, and spirits--the spirits radiate power, the mortals bump and talk and make noise with each other, and there are so few ghosts that they do neither. He's settled on top of his staff, which stands tall in the middle of the street, icing the crosswalk as snow falls to the ground. He twists in place to watch the ghost approach, arching one white eyebrow.]

Looking for something?

[He'd be lying if he said he's not curious about what kind of challenge Death came up with this time.]

[would adore a Hashirama for this...]

If you don't mind my slow self

[fireshadow]

[ooc: Who is haunting whom though? If we're going with Madara being the ghost post Valley then ahahaha Hashirama might very well think he's completely stepped off the deep end. It's going to be an amazing trainwreck.]

[Jade heard some of her students gossiping about the death of that eccentric Hollywood director before lab started today, but she hasn't thought much of it. Celebrities die all the time under mysterious circumstances, and if she stops to think too much about it, then it will take time away from grading lab reports or her own classwork.

Right now, the lab's emptied out, and she is hard at work looking through sloppy reports done by freshman who are taking this course because it's a requirement. She's disheartened by how little some of them seem to care for her subject, but she tries not to let it affect their grades. She draws little smileys and gives encouraging comments on even the worst reports, even as she delivers failing grades.

Jade rocks back and forth on a chair as she works, humming offkey to herself, figuring that nobody is likely to hear her. For the next hour or so, she has the place to herself.]

[He's dead via canon so he's probably more suited for the ghost role though I'm for mixing it up.]
