Finally it was time for the mayor, Kazuki Sakahagi, to speak up. Not even an thirty minutes left to the celebrations, but seeing him go appeared to be lighting up a spark in the citizens. It wasn't too hard to see why; his enthusiastic grin and way of walking could easily melt anyone's worry away.

He walked to the center stage as cheering broke out, two men in black and Junko Tanako behind him.

"Some of it's just knowing how to talk to them." Most of it, really.

She smiles. SHe should be friendly, after all. "I'm not used to anyone being able to see me when I'm working."

[ghost_shield]

He gulps. "Uh, if you want, I could pretend I don't see anything. Although I guess that's kind of well past at this point." He rubs the back of his neck. "Seriously, I didn't mean to walk in on you guys. It's not exactly something I can turn off. Unlike, say, my regular vision in a way." To illustrate what he means, he takes his glasses off for a bit, and squints, before putting them back on.

"No, it's fine. I don't really mind, it's just different." You really couldn't get set in your ways when you were going to be at this for all eternity.

[ghost_shield]

"Nothing wrong with different, I guess." He looks around. "Although some things aren't different enough." He can see the souls still stuck to the notion of living, which by itself is unnerving. "Do you have any idea if there's a specific afterlife here, or is it as variable as I've heard it is?"

"What happens next was never really my domain. At home, different people went different places, but in a place like this you kinda end up making it up as you go." Speaking of different.

[ghost_shield]

He blinks. "Huh. Never really thought of death improvising before. It just seems so... immutable," he replies. "The more you know, I guess."

[acapriciousthing]

"Sometimes you have to change or die." There's a note of sadness there. "And I only have one of those options available. So I learned to adapt."

[ghost_shield]

He nods. "That makes enough sense, I suppose." He smiles. It's odd, for someone who represents the end of life, she's so... comfortable to be around.

Almost too comfortable, actually. Now that he thinks about it... "Ah, I should go. There's still some of the living that might need my help."

[acapriciousthing]

SHe nods in return. It's a busy time. "Good luck out there." It's not like she actively seeks for people to fall under her domain, after all.
