Who: Shinji Matou & whoever else hates themselves enough
When: Day 118 late evening
Where: 4th level shrine area
What: intro time

[ This is Shinji Matou. He's a little confused right now, so you'll have to forgive him. There's a chance you may run into him while he paces around, babbling to himself as he generally tries to make sense of some things. It's fine to interrupt him, though, since he's likely to fail anyway. He always does. ]

[oh

my

god

no]

...Shinji?

[disenfranchised]

[ whoa, whoa, whoa -- back the fuck up. the last time he saw you he was definitely kicking your lifeless corpse and breaking your sorry ribs post-mortem. if shiji could get any more white-faced, now would be the time. he scrambles back, obviously not trusting of what he's seeing. ]

Wh-- what the hell ... ?

[didnteventry]

...You're dead, Shinji.

[And the last person Byakuya wanted to have to explain this to.]

At least, you died. If you're here you're technically alive.

[disenfranchised]

[ look old man, he really doesn't need you haunting him right now please leave. ]

I saw you, though -- !! You were... [ um this doesn't make a lot of sense. djksfhdskjfhsd ] So you've j-just been here?

[didnteventry]

Not really. The gods here kidnap dead people and bring them back to life here. I've been here 40 days. There's also a lot of alternate timeline bullshit so I might not even be the person you remember...

[aeschyne]

[Sometimes it's hard to be a broken empty shell of a human being who doesn't know how to react to death properly. For instance, it sometimes results in moments of self doubt, in which one wonders - if one's friend (friend? really?) shows up in the afterlife, is it more appropriate to:

1. Smile and greet him happily

or

2. Be sad about the fact that he died

Sometimes you end up not being able to figure out which choice is best. So you just awkwardly half smile.]

Ah, Shinji. You... died...

[disenfranchised]

[ the fuck is that? the fuck is this?? yeah, okay, he vaguely remembers something about dying. well, being crushed like that sort of implies you've died, anyway. still, it's a tough pill to swallow if you're allowed to reflect on it. ]

I... [ who is this broad being all familiar, saying his name and stuff? actually she looks kind of familiar. except for those tits. those aren't familiar at all. ]

Who the fuck are you?

[aeschyne]

[Considers this. It takes her a while, but eventually, after much protest, the gears in her Shiroubrain begin to turn, eventually producing the answer to why Shinji is asking who the fuck she is.]

You're probably from another world. We're all from different ones here. Like parallel worlds in science fiction.

I'm Shirou.

[disenfranchised]

[ go shiroubrain, go! shinjibrain is actually pretty stubborn, too so enjoy this awkward look. ]

You're... Shirou. [ her eyes are up there, dude. ]

[aeschyne]

[They're not super impressive or anything, but man, look at that. A girl - with boobs! - is willingly engaging in conversation with you. This is your chance, Shinji!]

That's right. Ah, do you not know me...?

[apriori]

[Maybe he was here for some purpose - maybe he even had something important to do. Maybe. We'll never know now, because the moment he steps into the shrine room and sees Shinji, all his other thought processes shut down. Because that's Shinji. He's right there. Dead, obviously, but here, and that's all that matters.

He wastes no time in slinging an arm around Shinji's shoulders, dumb grin plastered across his face.]

You finally died! I was waiting.

1/2

[disenfranchised]

[ shirou definitely takes shinji by surprise for a lot of reasons. but while he's freaking out on such a massive level, to feel something so familiar is startling. it's like his heart stops, practically. ]

What -- Shirou

2/2

[disenfranchised]

[ well. if shirou says it, then it must be true. ]

WA-WAIT, YOU'RE DEAD ... ?

[ FUCK. ]

[apriori]

It was pretty terrible, you know. Tohsaka and her disgusting servant did it. I wanted to help you and dad and everything, but they had to mess things up.

[disenfranchised]

That bitch...

I wasn't there -- [ oh, but you were close, shinji. ]






What about the grail -- ?!

[misterious]

[ ...what if I wanted to listen quietly and try to make sense of that incoherent babbling? ]

[disenfranchised]

[ then it would probably sound something like THIS IS CRAZY THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP THIS ISN'T REAL THIS ISN'T TRUE FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK WAKE UP WAKE UP FUCK ]

[misterious]

[ Clearly the best way to handle this is with great care and delicacy. ]

...You're dead.

[disenfranchised]

I NOTICED

[bitingbark]

[...trips you as you babble because, well, why not?]

[disenfranchised]

[ SCREAM ]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR

[melonlord]

What's your problem?

[disenfranchised]

Wh-what -- ?! Who are you? [ frowns. ] What's your problem?

[melonlord]

Toph Beifong, and my problem is that I'm too cool for this room.

[disenfranchised]

Then why are you here?
