Introduction
You're dead. Young or old, sick or healthy, you are no longer living. There is no bright light to guide you on. In the ominous silence a voice suddenly pierces the quiet. "We've been expecting you. Let's make a deal."
The last thing you remember was dying. You wake up sensing you aren't alone. "Right on time," the voice pauses and the silence stretches on for an uncomfortable moment. "You died, remember?" They laugh. "I see some potential in you, would you like to work for me? Another chance at life?" As they await your answer, you begin to shake as your mind is flooded simultaneously with worry and relief. For whatever reason, you look past the lack of details and agree. A cold hand grabs your shoulder and now you're at the exact spot where you died, however, no one has any memory of your momentary death. You quickly examine your body, everything's there and you feel fine, actually, you feel better than you ever have. That's when you see it, a luminescent cuff and attached chain around your wrist, you follow it to the hand of the other person. Your horror isn't over yet, the lethal scythe slung over their shoulder like an ordinary accessory leaves you speechless.
It turns out you have made a deal with a Reaper. They fill you in on all of the chilling details, including the part about being bound to them forever...or until you decide it's time to die again. Reapers special duty is to safely guide the dead on to the afterlife. They also have another job, protecting the dead from evil spirits trying to devour them for power. You'll be doing this for an eternity, there are benefits and drawbacks to that. Unless you're severely injured by an evil spirit, you will never die. You appear to be human and you can return to your family, or wherever you found happiness. However, you will have to see your friends and loved ones mature and die while you stay the same. Also, your very soul is bound to the Reaper you made a contract with, should you ever try to leave them, they have the power to kill you. If you ever grow tired of chasing spirits, betraying the Reaper is a good way to end the contract and move on to the afterlife.
This is your new life, as a Reaper-in-training. You can carry about your daily routine, but at any moment, you may have to send a soul on or fight with a spirit trying to kill you. Enjoy it.
†Reaper Abilities†:
-Immortality; a reaper cannot be killed by normal means like humans. They can only be killed by evil spirits, or another Reaper.
-Ghost Steps; in order to do their jobs without being noticed by humans, Reaper's have the ability to step into another spirit world on earth. Everything looks the same, but instead of humans walking around, it's wandering souls and evil spirits. This is where they find both to send them on. Apprentices have to be careful, their power can be sensed by spirits and staying too long would mean getting swarmed by the enemy.
-Individual Power; all Reapers have two specialized abilities, one is something physical and the other is a mental/magical one.
-Grave Dance; this is a final move all Reapers do to send spirits on. The act depends on the individual, it could be anything, a phrase or something more intricate. Apprentices get to make up their own after serving long enough.
-Homeward Bound; this is just a quick slice in thin air, or any other place, to open a portal back up to the Reaper world, where actualized Reapers call home.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 3 authors
Setting
0.00 INK
"Rest in peace." The last blossom of the red tulips bloomed, the body beneath it unidentifiable at this point; the flowers completely encased the body. The last image from the young child's death faded into thin air as the effects of Obituary wore off. The evil spirit was finally laid to rest, unfortunately there was nothing she could do about the other souls that had already been devoured. Little children were the sneakiest, in her personal opinion. The girl wasn't any older than five, she lured souls by wandering around crying and calling out for her parents. Of course, older ones came to comfort her, and that's when she struck. After all, who wouldn't want to console a crying child who looked lost? She died with her parents in a house fire, they moved on but she wasn't able to. Li was able to figure that much out as she watched the girl's death play out for a second time. It was all over now, the girl moved on to the afterlife, and the reaper hoped she would be reunited with her family on the other side. Oh. She cursed under her breath and slapped a gloved hand to her forehead. That would have been the perfect case to show her apprentice. They just made their contract not even a full twenty-four hours ago and she was already forgetting she had someone to train.
His death was still fresh though, she thought it would be a good idea to give him a bit of alone time to let everything she told him to sink in. It was a lot to take in, but she also promised to come back for him soon. That was hours ago. "This might be harder than I thought." She exhaled a long breath and looked around the empty playground, everything was taken care of there, but she was sure there would be more work to do. It was a sad fact, but people were always dying and unruly spirits would always be out looking for their next meal. "I'll take him along this time." Li released Amaterasu and with it her uniform turned into an ordinary-looking outfit. The world around her also shifted. She was in the spirit world, but now she crossed back over to the world of the living. They didn't look that different, in fact, if it wasn't for the occasionally disfigured spirits you encountered, it'd be pretty hard to tell the difference. When she first started as an apprentice, Li walked around the spirit realm for days before realizing she was in the wrong place.
"Come out come out wherever you are." It wasn't hard to find out where Thomas was, the chain that connected them by the wrist would lead her right to him. She spun around on her heels and started following the link. No one else could see it of course and it wasn't a tangible object, thankfully. She couldn't imagine trying to fight and being thrown off by the weight on the other end. Just how far away had she gone? She crossed through a section of the city and was headed towards the outskirts towards the woods. The sun was setting and with it, she knew the spirits would be out lurking in greater numbers. For whatever reason, they always showed up in greater numbers at night, the hungry ones especially liked to hunt at night. The stage was being set for Thomas to experience his first job. Li wasn't planning on throwing him in front of some rampaging spirit, but she did want to see how he would be able to manage on his own. It was a test of sorts, she wanted to gauge his abilities. Apprentices didn't have scythes to use yet, but they could bring down spirits without them. Li only had to step in at the very end to help it cross over.
"There you are, I was wondering where you had gone off to." Li stood across Thomas nonchalantly. She looked calm and collected, but she was actually really excited to start working with him. She wasn't scheduled to return Home for a few more hours, she took on a very long shift. "Are you ready to get your hands dirty? I've got a job for you." Her eyes narrowed slightly, signaling she was getting serious. "This won't be too much trouble if you're confident. Your own ability depends on how comfortable you are, start doubting yourself and you could get hurt." She went silent, looking at Thomas expectantly. If he wasn't up for it, Li could always break the chain and send him on his merry way to the afterlife.
Shae Elder
Shae perched on top of a metal fence, watching the spirits with disinterested eyes. Although there seriously wasn’t that much of a difference between the real world and the spirit world, she liked the spirit world much better. True, there was always the threat of stumbling upon one of the evil spirits, especially at night, and some of the inhabitants were disfigured, it was a lot better than dealing with the humans day in and day out.
Thinking of humans, she had a new one as a pet. He had died a little while ago, but she still couldn’t be bothered to learn his name - all that mattered was if he was able to do his task or not. She looked over at the silver chain that connected him to her, and with an irritated look on her face, tugged at it. If only it could bring him over to her, but no - she had to exit the spirit world and head over there to fetch him. Exactly who was the Reaper here, and who was the student apprentice pet?
There was always too much to do as a Reaper, with some of the more troublesome spirits always looking to prey on others. She hoped that the guy would be helpful, the human. Without his scythe though, and the pouting pitiful actions that she would no doubt encounter, there was little hope for him. Ah, what a shame.
She pushed herself upwards, before using her scythe to change the world from the spirit world into the human world. In a way, the human world seemed less real to her, without the constant threat of spirits that could actually kill her. Here, even if she got ran over by a car, there would be pain, yes, but there were some perks that came with being a Reaper. Her clothing didn’t change, as she preferred to stay in that outfit completely, unlike those of her coworkers.
Ah, she hated the human world. So much more… boring. It had none of the edge, and everything on this side of the world was easy. As soon as she could leave and head to the other side, it was better. Plus, this world - it showed her exactly what she had left behind. The hustle and bustle that didn’t matter, and of course, the humans. They were boring to her, as each of them seemed the same. Other than variations in size and color, she could easily think that it was the same person wandering around. So, where was that little pet of hers.
Tugging at the silver chain in her hand, which was without form and invisible to others, she followed a path to her apprentice. “Pet,” she said with a certain nonchalance, “it’s time to go. It’s night time in the Reaper World, and time for your first test.” A pause later, she turned her dark eyes in his direction. “Just don’t die. I would hate to have to go searching for another dead person - it’s far too bothersome.” The sooner that he either quit or became a Reaper, the happier that she would be. Making sure to keep at least a meter distance between them, she affixed the boy - he appeared older than herself, but she was, in reality, much older than him - with an appraising look. “If you survive, I’ll think about helping you along. If you end up in trouble - don’t think that I’ll do anything to help because I like you. You’re just my pet. And pets are replaceable.” If he had too much trouble with this, she would break the chain. It wouldn’t be any help if she had to carry around some sort of whelp for a couple of years. How would she do her tasks then?
“Doctor, I said that I’m fine, and the test results prove it. I’ve already made arrangements to get home.” However, no matter how many times Feine insisted, this doctor seemed set on keeping him in the hospital even if that meant wasting staff on guarding his room all day. Apparently it was impossible for someone to fall from as high up as Feine did and escape without a single injury…
Of course it was impossible.
This doctor just didn’t understand. Feine couldn’t help but be frustrated with the whole situation – he didn’t expect anyone else to understand when even he himself didn’t know just what had happened those few hours back. The only thing he was sure of was the pain. His memory was a little hazy, but he clearly remembered the pain. It was as if every single bone in his body had splintered, the fragments piercing through his flesh. He had felt his neck twist into an impossible angle… and he had to go through all that because of some idiot he’d considered his friend.
Apparently something in his expression seemed strained, because the doctor hastily issued some prescription for an obscure painkiller before resuming his poking and prodding of the poor boy. This stupid doctor – Feine couldn’t help but compare this man to his sister. Despite the difference in age, it was obvious his sister as far more competent, although he would never admit that to her… His sister couldn’t find out about all this. That was just a disaster in the making, knowing her personality. In fact, he wasn’t sure if he could face anyone he knew anymore, especially now that he was… was…
Was that even possible? He had never even believed in the existence of an afterlife, let alone the messenger of souls themselves! How was he supposed to believe that he was now apprenticed to one? How was he supposed to believe that he was dead… yet still alive?
… It all made his head hurt...
“Doctor, if I need anything, it’s rest. I’m not going to run away or anything, so just leave me alone.” Maybe it was his tone or just the distantly bitter expression, but something compelled the doctor to listen to him this time. Finally – took the man long enough to get a clue. Ever since he woke up on that concrete sidewalk, all Feine wanted was a quiet chance to think for himself. Instead, he got sirens, screaming, yelling, shattered glass, more sirens, a long trip in an ambulance, x-rays, CAT-scans and some nurse trying to jab needles in his arm. These service people always seemed to know exactly what he needed most.
“Why me?” he mumbled, gently massaging his wrist. The silver chain shackled to it was cold in his hands, so very real to him, yet it didn’t exist. How the heck was that even possible? The answer? It shouldn’t be. It wasn’t… or so he’d like to think, but nothing made sense anymore. “So I’m… a reaper’s apprentice.” The reality of the fact suddenly hit him when he first stated it aloud. He wasn’t human anymore. He’d planned to return to his life from before by taking this second chance, but… obviously that wasn’t possible. How had he overlooked that when he was given the choice?
“Pet, it’s time to go.”
Startled by the sudden unwelcome voice, Feine bolted to his feet, twisting around to face the intruder. Instead, he saw a younger girl… a rather familiar girl that he didn’t want to see. “It’s night time in the Reaper World, and time for your first test.” Yes, because he was just so excited to embark on this spirit-hunting quest, and it was so obvious that she was as well. And then she went on to spout nonsense about finding replacements, survival, infuriating things… were all reapers so… cold? So aggravating?
“You’re just my pet. And pets are replaceable.”
This girl was shorter than him stature-wise and even seemed younger than him by at least a few years. It only made those belittling words of hers all the more irritating. “Reaper or not, I’d watch your mouth, little brat,” he muttered under his breath. This time, to be heard, he stated, “I’m no pet either. Besides, if I disappear now into that… spirit… world now, at least eight of the doctors here are going to throw a fit.”
In truth, he was curious about that strange other world and his new job, but he was reluctant too. It meant finalizing this decision that he could not undo… and really, having to listen to this girl for the rest of his life just aggravated him to defiance.
Of course it was impossible.

Shae Elder
Her little apprentice seemed to be surrounded with a multitude of those humans and their machines. How unfortunate - maybe she shouldn’t have chosen one that seemed to be so bothersome. Seeming to be quite busy, she sighed in annoyance. After all, she had hoped that after dragging him over to the Spirit World, she would have to do little true interaction with him. “I’m no pet either. Besides, if I disappear now into that… spirit… world now, at least eight of the doctors here are going to throw a fit.”
Shae couldn’t help but feel irritated by his words and actions. She was the Reaper in this scenario, and he, as her lowly apprentice, ought to have listened. After all, she was the one who had the power over his life - or survival, as she might say. What was his name again? She didn’t quite recall, but it sounded something like Fain. And only a human as vain as him would dare to keep a reaper waiting.
With a frown, she addressed him again, ignoring the doctors as though they were naught but bugs. “So, little pet,” she intoned in a monotone, “who gave you the slightest hint that I would care about the reactions of these humans?” She looked at the silver bracelet on her wrist and its matching twin on the wrist of her pet. Tilting her head to the side, she grasped it with a hand and held it softly in her hand. “I don’t have the time to waste on dealing with such a task. If you don’t wish to leave immediately, then so be it.” He was just a hindrance after all - she could use his refusal to justify breaking the chain and sending him on as a spirit. Shae really didn’t feel like having to deal with the idiocy of humans at the moment.
She stepped backwards again, affixing her rebelliously annoying apprentice with a stare. Why had she decided to get one in the first place? “Just realize that these poor humans will most likely go into the same type of confusion that you originally mentioned, as you would be going into the Spirit World - I’m sure that you understand what I mean.” Then, turning on the ball of her foot, she turned her back to the boy.
Stepping forward, she ignored him. After this, she would be able to return to the Spirit World, which lacked these boring, monotonous humans. He didn’t have to follow her - but she knew that should she not sense that he was there dogging her steps like an apprentice was supposed to, she would remove him from the picture. She didn’t need an apprentice all that much either. Her fingers found the link that connected each other together and started to toy with the almost handcuff-esque bracelet. Shae felt a shudder go down her back from the disgust at being tied to someone else. Her smooth step faltered, and she halted, waiting. Would he come or not?

Re: The Chains That Bind
I'll wait until there's a post between Niv's and mine before writing something up ^^ (I don't want to get too ahead)
Re: The Chains That Bind
Argh! Guys I'm sorry this is moving slow. Between school and work I really can't catch a break. I have so many assignments due...I'm not sure why I chose to join so many clubs.
Anyway, Cienpher, the answer to your question! Yes, that's why I didn't include a set location. They can meet each other in the human world, but for the most part, they're all at different locations. They mainly get the chance to interact with each other when they're back at the Reaper's world. I'm thinking of some major events to bring them all together, so they won't always be so separated, there will be times when they all have to be together as one big group.
Foreverxraining, I really intended to make another character for you last week but I didn't get the chance to. I won't promise anything and not be able to keep it, so I'll say that I'm working on making an apprentice for you before the week is over!
Uh, I'm not sure why the others aren't posting, I'll be sending some PM's out to make sure they haven't forgotten this started.

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Yep - I live in Korea, but I was born in America and spent eight years of my life there.
Me, I don't really choose a group to like so that I can be unbiased towards the songs. Currently, my favorite would have to be Sherloc by SHINEE.
And to prevent this from becoming a K-Pop thread, just a question, but are the reapers and apprentices scattered all across the world? o.o
Do they just all meet and interact with other groups in the otherworld?

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Ahh.. hello fellow Korean! Do you live in Korea? I live in the U.S... for now that is. FCUZ used to be my favorite.. but then LeeU left so now the decision is between BIGBANG and UKISS.... Haha kinda random I know but I've never met an actual Korean before. Only the ones that don't know anything about korean culture or trends.. They aren't that fun to talk to...
Oh and Eisling. I will post but not until I have an apprentice, I do not want to have a post up and drop out because there's no one for me to interact with..

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
I will - I just messed up with my homework schedule >...>
Edit: Posted after my science exam just now ^^
Sorry if it seems a little weird, but I met a strange kind of writer's block this time around and I'm not sure why... My next post will be better.

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
...Is anyone else gonna post? DX
Uh, foreverxraining, I haven't been able to find anyone to be your apprentice, so I'm thinking I'll just go ahead and create a second character to fill the role! He'll be up later on today, or tomorrow, depends on how long I can manage to concentrate ^^''

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
foreverxraining, you're Korean too?! XD I did not know this (or if I did, I forgot... sorry...)
So Niv managed to work in a post for me - yaaay! I'll be posting later today as well ^^" (today in my timezone, that is)

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Awesome k pop makes me so proud to be Korean ^^.
But I still don't have an apprentice???

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Why yes, yes it is. It's 2NE1. I wish I lived in Korea, or anywhere else actually, sadly I'm stuck on the good ole east coast of America. I just really like K-pop ^^''
Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Okay - I'll just have Feine get lost in the otherworld for about a week then, just because it's something he'd likely do...
And this is irrelevant, but is your avatar from a certain K-Pop group? Because if so, I'm wondering what timezone you're in, because I don't think it's Korea XD (you're not on during my own usual hours, at least...)

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
The first post is up! Pretty sure I already said this, but as a reminder, everyone has already made their deals and a few hours have passed. You can start from there however you want to! Um, I just realized we're one person short -_-
I'll try and solve that problem quickly!
Uhh, Cienpher, you could follow another reaper, or control her character, or um, go without one until Nivosity returns? I don't know T-T
Another reminder to everyone, there is a 300 word posting minimum. I'm not gonna be crazy and count for myself, but I'd really appreciate it if you guys posted around that number ^^

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Yay! I'm glad this started! :D
But.....I would like for the reaper in my 'team' to post first if they wouldn't mind ^.^

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Awesome! >w<
Problem: Nivosity will be unavailable for... an unknown duration of time ranging from three days to a week.
Solution: I've gotten permission to try and attempt to control her character, but without a reference post from her, that's going to be weird XD

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Ugh, sorry I've been so in-and-out these past few days. Working on the first post now, sorry for the wait.
Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
I'm here guys!!!
Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hold things up like that without any notice. I just got super busy and didn't have any time to get online! Uh, all of the roles are filled...yeah, we're good to go! I'm in the middle of writing a boring lab report right now, but we can go ahead and start! I'm not sure if I ever said this or not, but the story is starting right after the deals have been made with the reapers. For the sake of getting things moving, the apprentices already know the rules and such. I don't like making promises I might not be able to keep, but I will try to have my own post up tonight.
Questions? Anyone, anyone?
Oh! I do wanna say, I don't normally disappear without any notice. ^^''

Re: [OOC] The Chains That Bind
Is there anything keeping us from starting now, Eisling? Has everyone submitted a character? How would we be starting off - under what circumstances?
