MEME ♦ Lights Out!

[whowasphones]

Uh oh! Looks like something weird is happening, here! Did someone forget to pay the electricity bill? Or has that storm outside caused a blackout? Who knows! Reasoning aside, you are now trapped in darkness. You can't see anything, anything at all! And you can't even adjust to this darkness, for some reason! There's only black, black, black. Something about this room is odd, for certain!

How this is going to go down
♦ You will post as your characer as ANON, because you're in the dark!
♦ There is no putting your character's name in the subject line. However, if you like, you can put your character's series/canon. It's no fun if you know who you're interacting with right away!
♦ You're free to set up your character fumbling around in the dark and such, just so you remember which comment is yours in this anon mess, if anything.
♦ Those who reply to you will roll the RNG for the specifics of the situation!
♦ Yay! In the dark shenanigans!!
♦ When you guys are ready, the lights go on, you can log into your character journals, and it's time to admire the awkward in the light.

RNG http://www.random.org/

♦ ONE: WHY IS IT SO SMALL AND CRAMPED IN THIS ROOM? Wait, this isn't a room, this is a closet. It looks like you've been locked inside for Seven Minutes in Heaven, or just for shits and giggles! The door doesn't seem to be opening, and it sounds like some ... Barry Manilow is playing? Oh, talk about awkward.
♦ TWO: BRR, WHY IS IT SO COLD? Looks like your clothes are missing! For some reason, you're only dressed in your underwear, or even commando if you feel like being really mean to your muse. Are you in bed with someone? Just can't find your clothes? Are THEY wearing your clothes? Up to you, because it really doesn't make it any less awkward.
♦ THREE: A LITTLE HANDSY: Did someone just cop a feel? There's a lot of accidental (or... not accidental) groping going on, for whatever reason! Talk about an awkward situation, mmmhmm!
♦ FOUR: OOPS, STUCK! One of you is stuck somewhere in this room, and can't get out! Either in a hole in the floor or tied to a bed or something! Whatever you can think of! Hopefully the other person can help you out in the dark.
♦ FIVE: ON AND OFF! Rather than totally darkness, the lights are flashing on and off, creepily. And it looks like there might be monsters in there with you guys?! Or are those illusions?

If you don't want to roll the RNG, that's fine! Go ahead and create your own situation, if you'd like!

Have fun, everyone!

[okay scanning is go, don't break my concentration bro]

[thankyouverymooch]

[I don't have time to waste, so speak up already, damn it.]

[whowasphones]

[... That was seriously it?]

[thankyouverymooch]

Why the sudden silence?

[I can't even feel Greed, so this has to be serious.]

[whowasphones]

[So he is taking it seriously. I don't know what he means, but...

Ugh, this is still useless.]

[fine, maybe I'll try again later]

... It's nothing.

[thankyouverymooch]

I'm not moving until you speak up, Neku. So won't you tell me already...?

[whowasphones]

...

Because... There's someone back home who's counting on me.

[thankyouverymooch]

...

That answer is enough to trust you, but not enough to tell me anything, Neku. I need to know what sort of situation you were in before coming here.

[whowasphones]

Are you gonna share yours with the class, too?

[thankyouverymooch]

[nods]

I will.

1/2

[whowasphones]

[not sure if believe you... anyway, deep breath]

I was... dead.

No, I'm pretty sure I still am. I mean—

Someone had to have taken me out of The Game. But how? The last thing I knew... was...

[whowasphones]

Rrgh! I can't remember!

[thankyouverymooch]

...Dead?

[whowasphones]

... I can't explain that part, either. The memory's gone. Or it was. I have pieces of it now, but...

Nothing makes any sense.

[thankyouverymooch]

You talked about a game. What sort of game was it...?

[whowasphones]

It's called The Reaper's Game. If you win, you get your life back. Fail, and face erasure.

[If only it stayed that simple.]

[thankyouverymooch]

... Any chance this could be something like that?

[whowasphones]

How should I know?

[To be honest, I thought so at first. That this was some sort of weird test... another one of those challenges. But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't add up. This isn't Shibuya. Stuck here with a guy who's never heard of it— and I was able to scan him. It doesn't seem like we're in the same situation, after all.

What the heck is going on...?]

[thankyouverymooch]

You're the one who's familiar with that game, between the two of us, you're the only one who would know.

[whowasphones]

What makes you think I have all the answers? I was thrown into it just like the others, and I got nothing but crap for explanations! As far as I know, it shouldn't exist outside of Shibuya. That's about all I can say.

[thankyouverymooch]

Calm down, Neku. Even if you do know something, if you don't think through it calmly you won't be able to notice. You said you have someone you need to go back to, didn't you? So let's work together.

[whowasphones]

... Yeah.

[He's right. I can't piece it together myself. I don't know if his help can do it either, but I don't have any choice but to try.]

[thankyouverymooch]

I don't remember dying, but I'm not denying the possibility. So that could be a common thread.

[whowasphones]

Then, what about you? I said my share.

[thankyouverymooch]

I wasn't in the middle of a battle or anything of the sort, but we were definitely headed to one. It's a long story, so sharing the details would take too long. But I can tell you that nothing here looks like it has anything to do with that.

More importantly... someone else who should be in charge of this body isn't here at all.
