afterliving | ♙ 001. [ voice, action ]

[ For the past few days, since she'd awoken in this strange new place, Peko had taken it upon herself to investigate her new surroundings. It was prudent to gather as much information as possible, especially in the case that things went as badly here as they did back on the island. Granted, she probably looked a little ridiculous to anyone who happened upon her in her attempts to investigate every corner of the place, but it could not be helped.

Once she felt confident in her acquisition of the lay of the land, Peko made her way to the library. She had found the computer network on a prior expedition, but hadn't felt the need to announce her presence at the time.

When the voice recording starts up, the sound is of a calm, sharp woman's voice. ]

Hello. I am called Pekoyama Peko, and I believe that I am considered to be "new here".

I have had the basics of this place explained to me, although I will admit to a few questions....such as why the afterlife occurs in a high school of all places. However, I imagine the answer to that question is not widely known.

[ A pause. ]

More importantly, I seek a weapon. I have heard of the dangers of the shadows, and I would also like to keep my swordsmanship skills from becoming rusty from disuse.

[ Plus, she feels a sense of discomfort, being disarmed at the moment - even if there are no clear and present threats, she was unused to not having any sort of weaponry on her person. ]

Any assistance that can be offered in procuring a sword would be much appreciated.

Some sort of...wish fulfillment, you mean? I suppose it isn't impossible, all things considered.

Yeah, exactly. Like, maybe whoever made it died young and wanted the chance to keep attending school and live a normal life. I kind of can't blame them...

[Even mundane things like that don't seem so bad once you're dead.]

But that's just an idea. I wonder if we'll ever find out.

It doesn't seem like they would be the only one, at any rate...

[ Considering the fact that a number of her classmates were here, killed before ever attending a day of high school... ]

Unless we are able to meet the person responsible, it is unlikely.

Yeah, you're probably right. I guess it's not really important, but it'd still be kinda neat to know. I mean, there had to be a reason for it.

Theoretically, it's also possible that this place simply happened to take the form of a school, and there was no rationale for it.

That's true. We might never know either way... I kind of hope it'll be something interesting, though.

[Hah, even now, he thought that way. He can't help feeling a little embarrassed when he realizes that.]

...Interesting can sometimes be dangerous.

Yeah, but I mean, it's not like we aren't already dead. How much worse can it get, right?

[The smile in his voice suggests he probably didn't mean for that to sound as awful as it does, o o p s...]

Well, being incapable of death doesn't prevent one from feeling pain, so torture is still a viable option...

I'm not sure I'd call anything that happens around here "torture"...

But I guess I haven't been here as long as some people have.

Perhaps not, but it would likely be wise to keep one's guard up, just in case.

Yeah, that's definitely true. Better safe than sorry and all.

Oh, my name's Yosuke, by the way. It's nice to meet you, Peko-san.

Ah...it is nice to meet you as well, Yosuke-san...

[ A little uncomfortable with that. What is this first-name-basis thing. ]
