☆ WEEK FIVE

[raisingproject]

Magical Girl Raising Project

Monday-Thursday, Week 5

13 REMAIN

Unlike the quiet of last week, the sounds of the occasional static seem to stop; the world around them seems to become more stable and fluid, as if the week prior had never happened. Hands no longer occasionally go through walls or buildings, the eggs are no longer there as well as the body they managed to complete. Just like Cinderella at the chime of midnight, everything goes back to the way it used to be, here in Town A.

Of course "used to be" is a rather loose term, as the tasks are still broken for some reason and nobody seems to appear around Town A anymore. Nevertheless, at around 9 AM in the morning, everyone's phones turn immediately on, regardless of whether they had it off or not at the time, as an announcement is made-

"Since everything is now back to normal thanks to my master, we will continue with the game, pon. There is an announcement to be made that you all would really like to hear, so make sure you all meet in the inn lobby, pon. I'll be waiting."

Inaba-san... ah, yes. Her. We were in the same game, if I remember correctly.

[That much she recalls.] Well, you're not going to only find me here on this tower. But I guess it depends who's actually here when you show up.

[zackthekiller]

Ah... She seemed to remember more than you when we found her using that laptop...

[Huh... Gives him a thought.]

Hey, if I took out my phone and messaged the network, do you think anyone would hear you on it?

[raisingproject]

She was the first one out of all of us to stop her mana getting leaked.

[...] Probably not. You can only hear me because you're here.

[zackthekiller]

Damnit...

... So, wait. We can talk to ghosts while we're up here?

jfc my html fucked up in that last tag

[raisingproject]

Looks like it. I don't know if you can talk to all of us, however.

[zackthekiller]

Ah...

[Well, so much for that idea.]

[He sighs and sits down, gazing upon the city below. He lets the long handle of his scythe rest idly on his shoulder.]

So what's your story? What do you remember?

[raisingproject]

My room is 27. As for my story, don't you think it's rude to ask a lady her most intimate secrets?

[zackthekiller]

27, huh?

[Excuse him for a moment, he's gonna make a quick network post.]

Sorry. And I think you might know something that could help get us outta this hellhole. Probably you too, I hear.

[raisingproject]

Like what, exactly? If I knew something that could help, I would have gotten out by now... or perhaps it wouldn't be this 'me', but another 'me'.

[zackthekiller]

The you with all your memories?

[raisingproject]

[She laughs again, almost teasingly. Almost condescendingly, but it's so light and airy that it's difficult to tell.]

Not exactly... but I suppose you could say that.

[zackthekiller]

...

[Are you Danny's sister? Because you're starting to remind him of the bastard.]

So you're saying you played a third role in your game? Like a murderer or something?

[He's a killer too, but his murder doesn't really count thanks to the fox and her mirror shenannigans.]

[raisingproject]

Nope.

[There's a hint of amusement in her tone, but it's a bit subdued.]

I was the one who was killed. I wasn't the killer.

[zackthekiller]

Okay then, how'd you manage to die?

[raisingproject]

Again, you're asking a lady for her most intimate secrets. Do you think dead people like talking about how they died? How exactly is that information pertinent?

Unless you have some sort of murder fetish.

[zackthekiller]

[Zack chuckles at that.]

Lady, you have no idea...

[Zack checks the network since miss ghostie isn't being too helpful... Oh? Something interesting just popped up!]

[Zack takes a moment to reply before looking up to address the ghost.]

Hey, lady? I think your old room tried to drown someone.

[raisingproject]

Gross. I'm not letting you get off on the details of how I died, then.

[She says that so offhandedly it's as if she doesn't really care. And honestly? She really doesn't.]

... Drown someone? Well, at least it was 'tried', which means that they didn't actually drown in the end.

[zackthekiller]

Hey, I could be a lot worse.

[He doesn't do anything weird to the bodies, at least.]

But yeah, someone managed to get in there with a glowing key, but then the door shut on him and the room started flooding, so...

I think he had to solve some kinda puzzle to unlock the door or something.

[Sorry if he's a bit fuzzy on the details. He was more focused on the floating snacks than what Sayzel actually said.]

[raisingproject]

It doesn't change much, though.

[But a change in the subject is good.] I see... I think I know that puzzle. I solved it once, a long time ago.

[zackthekiller]

You did, huh?

[Weird. Must be from her world.]

What's it doing here?

[More updates from the network. There seems to be an interesting turn of events. Zack replies real quick before the addressing the ghost.]

Oh, well you can tell the guy who was in there that. He said he wants to come over and say hi.

[perfectbeing]

[Szayel doesn't show up right away, but it isn't very long before he's bounding over in his magical form. Once he reaches Zack, he reverts back to normal and glances around.]

Is she still here?

[raisingproject]

I'm still dead, yes.

[That's her response.]

[zackthekiller]

... What she said.

[Should have warned you this was a sassy ghost.]

[perfectbeing]

[Interesting. So we've arrived at a disembodied voice this time.]

Oh, aren't you charming.

[No, really. He enjoyed that. He'll get down to business right away though.]

So you resided in Room 27, correct? I assume Zack has made you aware of the state of it. Did you set it up that way?

[raisingproject]

I try.

[There's definitely amusement in her voice, to say the least.]

I did, he told me about it, and no. I didn't set it up that way. But the puzzle is probably something from my memories, if my theory is correct.
