1st ★Trick :: Voices in My Head [Voice/Action if you want]

[4beforedeath]

[Somewhere nearby the entrance hall, a black cat is wandering the streets of Splendor, a little on edge. Yes, he was confused as to where he was, but that didn't bother him too much. He just made it so that the last ten years of his life didn't happen - having his bearings turned completely upside down goes without saying.

But everyone talking over

Comments

[tokiokakeru]

No, not ghosts. Most of those here are people. Are you someone new?

[4beforedeath]

[People that can speak through thoughts? If they're not ghosts, then being ghosts who were revived through the powers of the dead was just as unlikely. This definitely needed some investigation.]

New? What do you mean by that?

And just for the record, how am I talking to you?

[tokiokakeru]

That you just arrived here in the city, Splendor. As for us talking, it's thanks to the seals we get when we first got here. You should have one. It's a weird, rounded object. You can use it to talk to other people through just voice or video or even text just by thinking about doing so!

Pretty cool, huh?

[4beforedeath]

[A seal, huh? He's not sure where his is, but since it's working, it should be somewhere. It's nice that it gives him a way to talk to, but...]

How often do people send messages with text? I can't read.

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

I don't even know if there are ghosts here. [ Not like she's checked. ]

I guess you're new, then, huh?

[voice]

[4beforedeath]

(Well, there's one now if I still count.)

What do you mean by new?

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

I mean you just got here! This place looks different from your home, right? It's because it isn't your home.

[voice]

[4beforedeath]

I thought there was something weird when I heard the little lady's music ornament... I should've ended up in the park. [He mutters to himself, trying to regain his bearings. But he doesn't seem too freaked out.]

So where is this?

voice

[reluctant10th]

N-Not at all!

voice

[4beforedeath]

But last time I checked, humans can't talk with just their thoughts.

Re: voice

[reluctant10th]

---I'm not? I'm pretty sure I'm using my voice.

But you can communicate with your thoughts with the seals!

[hey does that mean the person he's talking to isn't a person at all?]

voice

[4beforedeath]

Seals? What are those?

[He's wearing it on his neck, so he's not going to be finding it any time soon.]

voice;

[skirtindanger]

Well, I'm not one.

voice;

[4beforedeath]

Then how come I can hear your voice in my head?

voice;

[skirtindanger]

-- Oh, that. Do you know how to use the seal yet?

voice;

[4beforedeath]

I have no idea what that is, so probably not.

action :3 1/2

[disasterroar]

[Just going along the streets, he looks a bit bored.]

action :2/2

[disasterroar]

[Then he spots a lone kitten and approaches it, careful not to scare it away.

He kneels in front of it.]

Hi there. Did you get lost?

[4beforedeath]

(I think so. This doesn't look like the park-)

[...right. Even though he wasn't really a ghost anymore, he still couldn't talk to people. It was only one night, but he'd already gotten so used to it.

Instead, he mews in agreement, giving a slight nod.]

[disasterroar]

[Ah, the cat nodded. Mao smiles at it.]

I see. But don't worry! Mao will help you out!

[Then he notices the seal and the key around the cats neck. He takes a look at the key.]

Hmm... It says "Abandoned Carter Estate"... [Wonder where is that. He's new here too.]
