"you don't look your age"

doesn't it just suck to fall victim to the very crime you're investigating?

he's dead, jim

enjoys making you talk about uncomfortable things

been replaying the science adventure games and while i'm not expecting it to happen because of the lack of franchise rpers, man the knowledge shun would have for the other verses in both public knowledge and behind the scenes stuff... considering they're all set in the same universe the only stuff he wouldn't know about would be anything past 2016 for robotics;notes and anonymous;code as well as the world lines outside the steins gate world line (and of course branching paths in the different games that doesn't lead to the true ending)... the potential

for vastly obvious reasons, shun knew one couldn't easily judge a person's age from their appearance alone. if that was applicable, he himself would be in middle school or at the very best a first year high school student, and yet, here he was as a college graduate and a working adult. but he also knew he was quite the odd one out in this, so he should most likely presume the middle school-esque girl looking at him with concern was indeed a middle school student.

as for why she was looking, there could be any number of reasons, but context clues and knowledge of his own situation gave shun a very good guess.

"say, you. you can see me, right?" in itself such a question would normally be considered weird. but normalcy did not apply here. "could it be i'm kind of blurry at the edges? slightly transparent? am i missing any parts of me? i'm still trying to figure out everything, so your feedback is very welcome; no, i'd even say it's absolutely necessary! don't hold back out of consideration to my feelings! tell me everything! why did i catch your eyes?"

it would be wrong to claim that he was excited about being spirited away like this. had it been under normal circumstances it would have piqued his detective instincts far more, but when the time limit of his life was rapidly approaching, it was a very unwelcome notion.

the only hope of salvation was the fact that whatever this place was, it obviously was not following the rules of reality he was used to. the season was different, the year, the people, the geography, the history -- everything. the best outcome would be if his time had simply paused.

even further, shun had found that his own incorporeal situation proved different. even completely ordinary people had been able to perceive him albeit with varying success, while it appeared there was a roughly 50% of the people who still simply couldn't see him at all.

with a thud, one such person walked straight into his unseen self.

"seriously, another one?! if some higher power was going to abduct me, couldn't i at least have got a better narrative? like, at least stick to one side! or give me a huge mansion with an endless manga collection to make up for it or something. this discrimination! injustice to the deceased! a breach of my incorporal rights!"

but of course none of his complaints would actually make it to the other, who appeared rather confused about the invinsible obstacle. with a sigh, shun pulled out the recorder he used for his detective work and spoke a message into the device before hitting the play-back button.

<< well, apologies for being in your way. i've got a bit of a situation as you can see! or i guess you can't! does that actually mean it's you who's got a bit of a situation instead? maybe it's not actually me who's the problem, but the whole world who's against me! what a wild plot twist that'd be. >>

well then. this was definitely beyond his scope of expectations. granted, shun had found himself at a loss quite a lot as of late, but at least his own death had been logically in the cards all along.

trans-dimensional relocation was, however, not.

for a brief moment he entertained the thought that it might be an aspect of life as a dead person he simply hadn't considered, but he quickly abandoned that idea. it was also unlikely that this was the actual world of the dead he was supposed to have passed on to.

"I'm at a loss!" he exclaimed, partly as a test. a head did indeed turn his way -- a blonde nun had reacted to the sudden rather loud outburst. wasn't that just hilarious? a nun and a detective. almost a whole cosplay event.

"not too bad! a member of the clergy might be indeed just what i need right now. if i was religious i might have seen this as a sign from above, but unfortunately I'm not, so you'll have to forgive me this time. i might be lost, but if it comes to whether my soul can be saved or not... well, it'd probably be the latter! haha! doesn't that just suck?"

li'l starter call! capping at 3 for now. like this post and if your muse doesn't have the (unlocked) ability to perceive the spiritual, i will flip a coin to see if they can see him or not!

I really like how Shun looks like a sweet good butterboy but he is actually the Worst
