[Have some loud beeping noises and static before an annoyed pair of blue eyes and furrowed brows graces your screen.]

[Hope your ears are ringing now.]

It's alright.

I don't know any of your friends, unfortunately, but I do know that you're not in danger here.

[gangstaspeak]

Whatever, man. I jus' wanna get back to Shibuya! I don' wanna be trapped in some messed-up ghost town!

[He's talking about the decorations, obviously]

[caprice_of_song]

Unfortunately, you already are. I'm not sure there's a way for you to get out of here on your own.

[gangstaspeak]

Ain't anyone else doin' somethin' 'bout that? Tryin' to get back?

[caprice_of_song]

People do try, but since you come here through your dreams, it's difficult to get out voluntarily. I'm not sure we have much direct control over our coming or going.

[gangstaspeak]

You serious? That sucks, yo!

[caprice_of_song]

That's... one way of looking at it. There are a few good points to being here, too, though.

[gangstaspeak]

Good points? What makes ya say that?

[caprice_of_song]

Well, there's almost nothing you need to pay for, and the regular rules of living don't apply--you don't need to eat or sleep, and you can't be killed.

Not really, at least.

[gangstaspeak]

Whatchu sound so unsure 'bout?

[caprice_of_song]

I'm sorry. I should be explaining a little more clearly. While it is possible to die here, you're returned to life not long afterward.

I'm not sure why it is that this happens, though.

[gangstaspeak]

Hold up. People dyin' an' comin' back...?

Kinda sounds like the Reaper's game to me...

[caprice_of_song]

I don't think I've ever specifically heard it called by that name, but it's still a little unnerving.

[gangstaspeak]

Ain't sayin' it's called that. It's just like somethin' from Shibuya...

[caprice_of_song]

That's strange...

What exactly does the Reaper's Game entail?

[gangstaspeak]

It ain't pretty. People become a part when they die, not like they gotta choice. Ya can play to get back to the real ground. If you're erased, ain't no goin' back.
