schrodingersghostOkay, seriously, can someone please explain this thing to me? I mean, I saw a couple of very definitely dead people over the past week. I might be a C student, but I do know that death is kind of a permanent thing. And by permanent I mean not something you wake up and walk away from.
So why is everyone coming back? Is this entire city populated by zombies or ghosts or something?

No ghost powers=no ghost sense=no way to tell if it isn't true
Date: 2010-02-13 03:32 am (UTC)Um, netherworld? Is that like the Ghost Zone?
SAY IT AIN'T SO
Date: 2010-02-13 03:50 am (UTC)The Netherworld is where the souls of the dead reside before crossing the Sanzu River for judgment and reincarnation. Yuyuko-sama is its mistress, and I am her servant.
I am not familiar with the 'Ghost Zone' you speak of.

The Ghost Zone is the alternate dimension where ghosts live.
Um, does that make you a ghost?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 04:08 am (UTC)...do they remain there?
No. I am Konpaku--half-ghost.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 04:26 am (UTC)I wish. They've attacked my high school so many times we have ghost drills.
[......]
I...
[brb, brainbreaking.
...What?
...How?
Was there another accident? Another portal?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 04:33 am (UTC)They are hostile ghosts, as well...?
[Largely oblivious!]
...what do you mean?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 04:36 am (UTC)...You said you were a half-ghost.
I didn't know there were any more.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 04:43 am (UTC)I am. All Konpaku are half-ghost.
[And now it's Youmu's turn to stare at the communicator in bewilderment.]
...you are half-ghost as well?
[So incredibly locked its not funny]
Date: 2010-02-13 04:46 am (UTC)But... I thought there were only three of us.
[Locked better than than Youmu could manage on her own! What is technology]
Date: 2010-02-13 04:50 am (UTC)...three? But...you are not a Konpaku. How is it that you are half-ghost?
[Only half-ghosts allowed]
Date: 2010-02-13 04:57 am (UTC)Freak accident. Emphasis on freak. I used to be human.
...What's a konpaku?
[Locked /o/]
Date: 2010-02-13 05:05 am (UTC)...but...what? Why would that be necessary? Why would they do such a thing?
[...]
Konpaku is my family name; we are born half-ghost and half-human.
[Locked]
Date: 2010-02-13 05:36 am (UTC)[...]
Born? So you were never human?
Well. I guess technically Dani was born as a half-ghost. But she wasn't exactly born normally either.
...There's an entire family of half-ghosts somewhere?
[Locked]
Date: 2010-02-13 06:21 am (UTC)[She's still audibly trying to reconcile two very, very different concepts in her mind.]
...it is...very different, from the ghosts in my world.
[Was that a distraction? Yes please!]
I have always been half-ghost, yes. By definition, this makes me a youkai as well, though I can enter the Netherworld without issue. It is also how I can wield Roukanken.
Yes. I am the only Konpaku in service to Yuyuko-sama at the time, however.
Re: [Locked]
Date: 2010-02-13 06:50 am (UTC)Actually... I don't know how much the ghosts I know remember about their lives.
...Roukanken?
Its kind of neat to think that there are other half-ghosts somewhere. That aren't evil. And aren't clones.
Um, who's Yuyuko? And why are you being a servant?
[Locked]
Date: 2010-02-13 07:49 am (UTC)The Lookout-Tower Sword; it is the larger of my two blades, and cannot be drawn by a human.
[...]
Yes.
Yuyuko-sama is the princess of the Netherworld. I am her servant and gardener because I am Youmu; the same way I am half-ghost.
Re: [Locked]
Date: 2010-02-13 03:03 pm (UTC)Huh, I don't really get it. But in my world ghosts don't usually work for each other unless they're both getting something out of the deal. And even then they're usually both planning on backstabbing the other.
Well, except for the few nice ghosts I know.
[Locked] plz ignore all html failure
Date: 2010-02-13 10:32 pm (UTC)[...]
It is the way of things.
These are...not the ghosts I am familiar with, then. Most are apathetic or lost outside of the Netherworld; otherwise, they are mostly pleasant to deal with.
[Besides the whole HEY THEY'RE GHOSTS part, anyway.]
...with a few notable exceptions.
[
Read: Mima]...who are they, if you don't mind me asking?
[Locked] Noted
Date: 2010-02-13 11:27 pm (UTC)Its kind of my job to stop all the ghosts that are out to cause trouble. And by trouble I mean brainwashing people and taking over the world.
I haven't met very many of them. The Dairy King helped me out of a trap once. And I get along pretty well with Wulf and Dora. And Clockwork, of course.
[Locked] /o/
Date: 2010-02-14 01:48 am (UTC)[Youmu is still trying to comprehend this. It isn't really working.]
[...] I see. You are your world's caretaker, then?
These names are unfamiliar to me, I am sorry. Perhaps Yuyuko-sama would know of them...
Re: [Locked] /o/
Date: 2010-02-14 02:10 am (UTC)In a way, you could say. Sometimes it seems like all I do is kick ghosts back into the Ghost Zone.
If anyone, she might know Clockwork. He's the Ghost Master of Time, and he knows everything.
[Locked]
Date: 2010-02-14 02:48 am (UTC)She decides that 'unpleasant' is close enough.]
...that I do.
I am only Hakugyokurou's gardener. Does the...Ghost Zone have no barrier, or is it thinned on a regular basis?
[Ping!]
Time? He controls time?
Re: [Locked]
Date: 2010-02-14 02:54 am (UTC)Yeah. Have you heard of him? Some of the ghosts call him the Master of All Time.
[Locked] pffff that icon
Date: 2010-02-14 03:06 am (UTC)I have not, though there are...others, in my world, who can manipulate time.
[Locked] 80s night at the Material Grill
Date: 2010-02-14 03:48 am (UTC)Clockwork is the only ghost I know who can do that.
[Locked] fffff
