Fill out the following form and post the application below. Please post your applications as comments to this post, rather than as a link to another page.

By applying to this game, you are saying that you have read all of the information pages, and you agree with the rules as they have been presented.

PLAYER INFORMATION

Name: The name you want to go by
Age: You must be over 16 to play in this game.
Contact: Some way of contacting you. AIM, plurk, a journal to PM, an email, etc.
Current characters: Characters you currently have in this game.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

True name: The character's name in canon
Given name: The name they are given in-game. Be sure to explain the significance behind the given name, as well as how it is connected to the cocoon dream.
Canon: The name of their canon
Canonpoint: The point at which you are apping them from, as well as how they died at that moment.
History: A link will suffice, but be sure to write it out if there is no history available elsewhere.

Personality: This part should consist of two clear sections: their personality in canon, and how they will act within the game. If there are any differences between the two, be sure to explain why that is. This is one of the sections we will be judging heavily, so do not skimp here.

Powers: List any powers they have. Only powers that are listed here can be regained via memories.
Memory bank: This section should be linked to a memory bank in your character's journal. At this point, you do not need to have all of your memories fully written out; a short title or summary of each one (except for the two used as samples) will be enough. Any memories that are headcanon must be labeled as such. There is no upper limit on the number of memories you may have in the memory bank, but the minimum is 20.
Job: The job you would like your character to start out with. Please refer to the job board to see what jobs are currently available. If the job you are requesting is a limited-spot job, please be sure to list two backups, in case your first choice is filled.
Dream: Describe your character's cocoon dream. This should relate to their trial in some way, and serve as a clue to what they need to do to complete their trial. This dream will be their defining moment until they begin to regain memories, so put plenty of details into it.
Trial: What is the trial your character will be facing? What regret do they have, unfinished business they have to fulfill, or character flaw they need to overcome? This should be personal to themselves, and a trial that can be completed within the game. Additionally, describe your general idea for what you will have your character do to complete that trial. And, if you want to have them struggle at completing their trial, describe the difficulties they will have. You do not have to stick with this plan completely, but ideally you should be using it as a guide for what you will be doing with your character, so we want to see some thought put into it. We will be judging this section heavily, so do not skimp on details.

SAMPLES

Memories: Pick two of the memories from your memory bank and write them out completely. Each memory should have a specific point to it (to remind your character of a specific skill they have, or an important detail of their previous life that will help them with their trial), but should also be fragmented and difficult to understand without some thought put into it. Also, no names or clear faces should be present within the memories. For example your character can remember that they are a parent, but they cannot remember what their kids look like, or what their names are. These memories should also be listed in your memory bank, for use later when your character begins to regain memories.

RP sample: Pick one of the following:

1: link at least 30 comments from the test drive. This can be over more than one thread.

2: Write out a log starter as if your character has been present in the game for over a month. You can use prompts from the test drive, or come up with ideas on your own.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

True name: Yosuke Hanamura
Given name: "Hitori" Meaning alone, a single person. It's basically a direct reflection of his dream, but also a hint to his trial- finding his self worth and purpose outside what others think and see him as. To no longer need the approval of the group to the point of acting badly to get it. And to come to terms with what he and his group did to an innocent man due to grief, anger, and groupthink.
Canon: Persona 4
Canonpoint: Post second Bad End. In more detail- After the IT murders Namatame and Yu goes home. The town is covered in fog and eventually it and everyone in it will be devoured by the Shadows. This is the point Yosuke is killed alongside everyone else.

History: Here

Personality: Yosuke is someone made up of his flaws. He’s whiny, rude, often unintentionally hurtful and horribly insecure. He all the worst parts of your high school life in one awkward package. Someone that tries so hard to be cool and just falls on his face, then laughs it off to hide his embarrassment and budding tears. A kid convinced that few if anyone would wanna be around him if he wasn’t so good at pretending to be upbeat and easy going all the time. Who unthinkingly hurts and mocks others to hide his own desperate need to belong. And who desperately searches for something or someone to make him feel ’special’ or ’important’ to give his life some meaning beyond the dull existence of some normal teenage loser.

Still, because of his flaws he is a young man filled with potential. He might be an asshole sometimes, but he’s the one that will always have your back. He might be kinda egocentric- except when he reaches out to those in need and shares his own embarrassing experiences to help them overcome their own. He’s lonely as all hell… except now he has friends, and uses their support to bolster his own self weakness. As long as he has that he can do anything, he knows. But more then anyone in his group he is the easiest to knock back down with crippling doubt. But also the fastest to get back up, dust himself off and charge forward with a smart ass comment. He’s loyal, kind, clever and brave…. If one can stand him long enough to see it. He has the heart of a hero and the self doubt of the buttmoneky in the blackest kind of comedy. But deep down he is an innately good person even if he can sometimes act badly or make evil choices without realizing it if he’s CONVINCED himself he’s right. He’s faced his inner demons in the form of a Shadow, and if his life had continued on course, through his relationships he would have realized he doesn't HAVE to try and be someone important. By just existing he is already special to someone.

But thanks to his death, and the choices of himself and his group, that never happened. His social link was never finished, his best friend was gone, and he was eventually devoured by the part of himself he once thought he had tamed.
During his second life he won't be much different. But without a goal and purpose like he had in canon his flightiness and desire to fill his loneliness with constant stimulation will return to what it was before he meet Yu. He no longer remembers the lesson his Shadow taught him, and will need to re-confront his thirst for recognition. But his basic personality will be almost entirely unchanged... it will take some growth for him to regain his more thoughtful side, but it's still there under the surface. Though in some ways a lot of his baggage will also be lost with his memories. He's no longer a pariah due to his family. He no longer lost someone he cared about so much (even if she wasn't at all attached to him) and the guilt from failing to solve the case is all missing. At least until he remembers those things, but having different cr and development before that point... who knows how things could turn out this time?

Powers: Yosuke's only power is that of his Persona, Jiraiya. While in the TV world he can do such things as:

1) Summon wind attacks that can hit a single or multiple foes
2) Heal a single ally
3) Use stat buffs that can boost his or others speed
4) Use his Persona to physically strike his foes.

But Jiraiya can not be used outside the TV or other altered realities- so it'd be up to the mods if he could be regained. Other then his Persona he is very graceful and able to dodge around his foes and is pretty skilled with kunai or similarly sized knives.

Memory bank: I will probably add WAY more then 20 of these over time since so many important things characterwise happen in canon, but here's the first 20 I could think of

Job: Resturant: Server/Host
Factory: Janitor

Dream: Yosuke dream starts rather comfortably. In a crowd. Not just a crowd, but people he knows. He can't pick out any features of course, but he innately knows that he recognizes these people mulling about. It's good, because with all these people here he's safe from

-something. He can't say what it is he needs protecting from, but he can SENSE it just on the edge of the group. Slithering around, watching him for the moment he's alone. But before long the crowd starts to scatter. Not running- they don't see the thing. But they seem to avoid him after awhile. And it's clearly HIM- as he follows after they leave faster. Some even laugh

(the girl with the curly hair especially so)

or look annoyed. In the end there's only one person left, who holds his hand out to him... only to push him right into the thing stalking him

(you have to accept it)

which gathers him up in lanky inhuman arms. All he can see is black and yellow eyes and a fluttering red gash. Yet somehow this monster is familiar to him. More so then any friend or brother. It grins down at him with too white teeth that open wider and wider to devour him, wind whipping around them both, lashing at it as he struggles.

And wakes up.

Trial: Yosuke's trial is two fold, though the two sides fold into each other. The first, most obvious being coming to terms with the crime he instigated. Murder of an innocent man. Yu made the final choice, but it was due to Yosuke convincing him of it and arguing him into the ground. He lead the team into denying searching for the truth and instead giving into their grief and taking it out on a convenient scapegoat instead. Individually they never would have done such a thing, but as a mob lead by Yosuke's rage they were able to do something horrible.

The second half is completing and expanding his incomplete social link. His entire link is him coming to terms with Saki's death, but also realizing that he doesn't have to fight so hard to be special and important to be valued. As he says during it 'Just being born, living your life... Before you know it, you're already special to someone.' or he would have...if Yu had completed his social link before December. So when he dies he not only feels like a failure and abandoned, but useless. He wasn't the Hero this story needed. THAT person left them, and with only Yosuke to depend on, of COURSE everything fell apart.

So Yosuke's trial will be to realize his own self worth outside how others see him. His name, Hitori, while seeming to mock him losing his friends at first, instead is a badge of hope- that one day he will be able to stand on his own. To affect his own fate instead of depending on others to do it for him, and becoming strong enough to not give into his impulses and desire to find an easy out and instead be a pillar of SUPPORT for others instead of a weakness.

The actions that will lead into his trial will be things like taking incentive to help others without being told to do so, mentoring newcomers (like he tried to do for Yu once upon a time) and showing leadership qualities or supporting a group in a healthy way. But basically anything that builds his self worth without depending on others SAYING he's doing right will help. He might have some issues once he remembers what he and his friends did to Namatame, and depending on his cr and growth by that point he might backpedal a lot, or even slip into being Sinbound. But with positive cr and growth that can be resisted.

SAMPLES

Memories:
Memory 1 (Saki's Death Announcement)

He was in a school.

He had no idea how he KNEW this, considering the space looked nothing like the human school he knew at all. For one thing there was WAY too many people, and most of them looked almost too old. There were certainly no outright children here. But in his memory it was a School, it was HIS school. Everyone was talking, but about what he couldn't quite figure out, as if they were chattering in a language he didn't really know. It was close, but just out of his grasp. So instead of trying to listen he let his gaze fall on the girl in front of him- he could tell they were kinda pretty, but any details fuzzed and blurred. All he could pick out where colors. Green Girl. There was usually a Red Girl too, but she was missing

A voice whispered to him.

And he turned, spoting a boy he assumes is his own age, but he's just a blur of gray to counter the colorful girls. Later, when he recalled the memory, that boy would send a spike of terror to his guts- it was the same one that pushed him in his dream. But all memory-him feels is a distant interest, much more focused on this feeling of concern for something else entirely. His memory self is worried about something. It's not just the Red Girl

(who there hell is that? There's no one in red here)

that's missing, and he has a deep feeling of dread over that, while in turn telling himself that it's silly. She must have somehting going on today. It's fine.
Everyone quieted, and a man. An Adult. Walked across the elevated platform in front of him. Not just an Adult but Old. He spoke, and while he still couldn't quite understand the details, the message was clear.

She's dead.

(who's dead?)

Who didn't matter. What mattered was the sudden crushing shock, like his belly had just dropped down to his shoes. His entire body shuddered and trembled in gorwing horror. Dead. Deaddeadead that made no sense he just SAW her

(WHO, who did he see?!)

on the T-

T something. That wasn't important. Green Girl and Gray Boy are there, talking to him softly. But he could barely hear them. All he could hear was the blood rushing in his ears and the Old Adults' words in his head, spinning and spinning until they turned his brain to utter mush with their meaningless mantra.

Passed away. Like something small and unimportant on the wind. Gone.

Memory 2 (Using Jiraiya for the first time/ Power regain)

What the hell was a Castle? Apparently it was a really big house. A really REALLY big house with winding hallways and giant doors and slithering black monsters around every corner. He was scared- of course he was. But there was also a thudding feeling of excitement. A thrill running all the way through his body and matching the music in his ears.

(Where did the music come from? He had no idea, but it seemed perfectly normal. Like the air he was breathing)

He wasn't alone though, the Gray Boy was there too, a smudge of crisp black clothing and flashing weapon. Just watching him make a bolt of pride hit him. This guy knew what he was doing, so with the two of them they would-

-... do whatever it was they were here to do. But even with how fast they were rushing through the halls eventually one of the blobs had to reach them. His companion moved to take it out but-

"Hold on, I got it!"

More excitement, and a thin thread of nerves. What if nothing happened? He really would look like an idiot in front of the other boy. But with a strange yet comfortable flex of will something DOES happen- a card appears

(okay this has to be a dream, cards don't appear out of nothing and glow an-)

which he at once attacks. It shatters like glass and... something comes out. Something huge and humanoid and with a familiar gash of fluttering red. Something as familiar as his arm. And just like knowing what a limb could do he just... knows this thing is here to serve him, and what it is capable of.

Garu

And in a burst of blade-like wind the blob is sliced apart, dissolving into black mist... and the other part of him vanishes just as quick as it appeared.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

True name: Sunako Kirishiki
Given name: Eve, religious symbolism is very important in Shiki and to Sunako specifically. In canon she identifies with Cain killing Abel but the idea of original sin is also an interesting motif. Sunako is the leader of her family, she is the one that changed most everyone and started the chain of events that caused the downfall of a village. She is the origin point for everything horrible that happens. Since her dream contains religious symbolism, eating the apple, the name will just feel right and she will probably make and understand the connection when she remembers the stories later.
Canon: Shiki
Canonpoint: The confrontation in the burning church.
Sunako is trapped and attacked by Ookawa after running away from the villagers. He tortures her and explains that he is on the side of justice because she brought death and destruction to the town. In canon he is killed by Muroi right before executing her but for the purpose of this game fate is changed and he successfully drives a stake through Sunako's heart.
History: Wiki and episode summaries.

Personality:
Canon
Sunako is characterized by contradictions. She straddles the line between life and death, adult and child, selfish and altruistic. Some of these are more readily apparent than others but she is definitely complex in her simplicity. When all else is removed she is lonely and that colors everything about her.

Despite dying over a hundred years ago and growing up in as many years Sunako still possesses the body of a thirteen year old. She is very much aware that her mental age and physical age do not match up and there are many emotional hang ups she can't move past because of it. Most obvious is her distaste to being treated as a child. She purposefully speaks in a mature and polite way with no cutesy childish phrasing and reacts furiously towards anyone that talks down to her. Her hobbies tend to be very academic as well, with a focus on reading complicated novels and discussing heavy philosophical topics. On the other hand, she craves the affection and closeness of family and appreciates being cared for. This desire to relive her childhood causes her to play pretend and spawns a lot of her more idealistic dreams, such as living as a happy family in a village where shiki do not have to hide. She exists both as a "pure" idol - granted immunity because of her perceived age and idealism - and dauntless leader - who will order swift death to anyone who opposes their plans - to the shiki under he control, filling whatever role they put her in. A lot of her relationships are understandably warped because of this. Although Sunako appears young this leader role as the original vampire crowns her as the matriarch over all and she acts the mother figure more than the child. When the newly risen shiki are unsure of themselves or feel conflicted about their need to kill to live she will sit them down to tea and console them, she reassures them and promises them a bright future where they don't have to hide in the shadows. This dream is impossible and selfish though.

The entire tragedy that occurred in this small town is linked to Sunako's selfish wish to surround herself with comrades. She did not want to be alone anymore. Before they arrived, they were a small group of six that traveled as they needed for survival. Small enough to not leave obvious tracks but large and close enough to see each other as family. However, they did not belong anywhere. Sunako wanted more than that. She wanted a whole village where those like herself could live and work, to visit each other's houses or stop by the store to buy things and chat. A place to call home. This one wish was enough for her to justify killing an entire village and its population of hundreds. She understands that objectively she has no moral ground to stand on and hates herself with the same breath that she justifies her right to live as any other. She is a mass murderer. She has killed so many people that there is no hope for her to remember the name. But she wants to live. There is no pleasure in killing humans, no desire to, but a need that she cannot refute. She is a being that has no reason to live but is afraid of death.

This idea of struggling is a constant theme in Sunako's existence. Does she have the right to kill someone else to live? Does she have the right to live at all? Can she bear these sins? Can she atone for these sins with her death? To live is to struggle. The idea of sins is important to Sunako as she feels like an isolated being, something forsaken by God Himself. Time and time again she comes to the answer that even without approval of some higher being she will live on. Death is equally cruel to all it touches be it a child, elder, living, or undead. She clings strongly to such beliefs. Although she cannot see her own worth she does not want to give up her unnatural existence. She almost does, when she is alone and her plans are falling to ash around her, but she has one last comrade who reaches his hand out to her and pulls her away to keep on struggling and living. As long as one person needs her she will keep going. It should also be stated that even though Sunako sees her actions as sinful and wrong she does not feel guilt per se. It's a fact of life that she has accepted and will not shy away from it. She is as willing to drink from a wine glass as she is directly from a victim's veins and she perceives them both as equal. Hurting another to live is a constant that she will not sugarcoat although she does rationalize it as shown to keep her sanity more or less intact.

These debates and concerns have shaped Sunako a great deal but, as stated, she is still very much the little girl she was before her death. She's outgoing, curious, and empathetic all of which got her into this trouble in the first place as she so readily approached her father's friend who turned out to be a vampire. They've warped over the years though. Outgoing became the charisma of a leader, a person who can make dozens of shiki follow her orders and fear her punishments. No matter the situation she will think of her followers first and give orders before she allows herself a private moment for her own feelings. Her curiosity takes a darker form. She loves talking to and learning about both humans and shiki's views on life and death, with a definite interest in the suicidal and she does not shy away from asking very pointed question. She loves to understand why people think the way they do and she respects their decisions to a fault, assisting in multiple suicides because of this. A show of her empathy, admittedly warped. People hurting is something she understands and she will do what she can to help them. She loves people. When Muroi is bleeding out from a knife wound her first thought isn't to feed from him but to alert the hospital, panicking because she is not strong enough to drag him off the mountain by herself. There is a complicated and lonely woman under all the strife she feels towards living. She just wants to live and have friends and family but she can't do that because on a fundamental level she can't forgive herself for killing to achieve this. Her entire life is a existential crisis and all she wants to do is surround herself in friends and family without feeling like a monster for it. But she can't because she's already accepted herself as a monster anyway. At least she is witty and charming to people while talking to them about things not related to that big issue though.

Haibane
The biggest change Sunako will face with the loss of her memories is she will be happier. Without the constant need to drink blood or memories of doing so she will return to a more childlike personality. Not perfectly. She is too mature, too used to being treated like a leader and relied upon to just return to being a kid but she won't be constantly struggling to provide for others either. She will be curious, nosy, talkative, and still a complete bibliophile. She will also default into being a nurturer and good listener. There will be an instant draw towards any haibane because she will feel a need to be part of a group, looking for a level of acceptance, as well as a drive to prove herself to humans. That doesn't mean she is going to be completely open though. Sunako is called naive by other characters even as a vampire for her ideal of finding love and acceptance, which she is, but she's also fearful by nature and without any memories she will hide things that make her unlovable. Obscuring facts with omission and white lies will come naturally to her since she has had to rely on this before. She's going to be missing years of development for how she rationalized being different so she will have to go through it all over. Meaning she is going to make bad decisions just like any preteen. She will desperately want to make close friends but will also be afraid of scaring them off. As said though, she's an extroverted person by nature so she will never completely close herself off.

Powers:
Although Sunako prefers the name Shiki (corpse demon) she is essentially a very classic vampire and follows a lot of the stereotypes. There's a wide range of strengths and weaknesses so I'm just going to bullet point them.
- Retractable fangs. She can bite and drink from wounds or drink from a glass but she needs to consume blood to live. Cannot eat any solid food but can drink other liquids although they do not help with hunger. If she is hurt and loses blood she becomes hungrier quicker. As a general rule they drink about two cups of blood a night so they need to visit a person consecutively for four nights to suck them dry. Meals can be spaced out if they wish but the hunger becomes overwhelming very quickly, in about a week.
- Mind control/Suggestions. Once a human has been fed on the vampire can give simple orders that the victim will feel compelled to obey even though they don't want to. This influence fades after a few days if the vampire does not come back to feed again. While under the influence of one vampire even if another bites them they cannot give them any orders, it's first come first serve.
- Immortal undead. No need to breath, no heart beat, no aging, their body is completely dead except for brain activity. She cannot get sick, she cannot be intoxicated or knocked out with chemicals, and all wounds heal abnormally fast. Decapitation and destroying the heart are the only surefire ways to kill a vampire.
- Weakness to day. The sun literally boils their skin until they die from shock and burn wounds. Sunako also cannot stay awake during the day even if she is in a dark room, as soon as the sun rises she falls into a coma-like sleep and will only rise at dusk or if she is being assaulted.
- Night vision. Can see perfectly in the dark.
- Invitation. Sunako cannot enter someone's residence without being invited inside directly or as a friend of someone else who has been invited. Public and abandoned buildings do not have these rules and she can enter them freely.
- Religious fear. Inexplicably, vampires develop an irrational fear to all religious symbols when they are reanimated. This includes the full gambit: crosses, Buddhas, charms, talismans, clear bell tones, and so on. The fear is so intense that if they are forced to be near the object for an extended period of time they will pass out. Sunako is affected less than others as she appears better at compartmentalizing things, seeing an abandoned church as devoid of God or reading the Bible simply as a book for example.
- Endurance? Question mark because a vampire literally states that they don't have super human strength, speed, or anything and then they do completely inhuman things anyway. We see vampires jump to second story windows, jump off roofs onto people, and other unbelievable things multiple times. They still very much feel pain when they are hurt but I'm going to assume since they heal so quickly they just bounce back faster than a normal human would from a wound and that is how they get away with this inconsistent shit. In short, Sunako cannot overpower an adult in any way shape or form but she can have both her hands crushed and still get up and going in the next three minutes.

Memory bank: Link.
Job: Tutor and some general chores.

Dream:
Idyllic. The dream starts in a beautiful field with nothing to see for miles but swaying grass, a crisp blue horizon, and a lone tree on a hill. Everything is bright and accommodating, the sun is warm and a cool breeze flutters the skirts of her dress. She could be happy forever in this paradise. Even though she is all alone it doesn't feel as if she is. The young girl strolls through it merrily, humming a calming tune to match her mood, and before she knows it she is before the tree.

It's large, almost imposing in its solidarity, but it provides soothing shade from the sun's rays. She rests for a while. She can't tell for how long. The sun never moves.

Eventually she feels hungry and luckily for her, she thinks, this tree is a fruit bearing one. She's so short though and the tree is so tall... She has to climb. It's not hard, it's actually an inviting challenge considering the strong low branches. However, with every branch she pulls herself up with the hunger grows from a small inkling to growling pangs to a constant gnawing at the empty pit in her stomach. Her movements become desperate. She jumps. She ignores sturdier paths to grab thinner branches to reach it just one second faster. She needs it.

Finally it is in her hands as she balances precariously on a tree limb. No hesitation or thoughts to climb back down before eating, her body is screaming with the hunger now, she sinks her teeth into the flesh of the fruit. That is as far as she gets. The sweet juice never touches her tongue. Her senses are overwhelmed by the heady scent and taste or iron and she jerks back as the fruit bleeds. A constant stream of bright red blood that leaks between her fingers to waterfall down the tree.

Desperately, frantically, she begins to wipe the sticky warm substance from her face with a sleeve but she is already covered. She doesn't drop the fruit. She can't drop the fruit. Impossibly fast the world around her dies as the blood seeps into the ground. What was once bright green now a dull brown. All but the strong tree that still cradles her within a shell of leaves, the dappled sunlight piercing the canopy scorching hot on her face. In the distance she sees something new sprouting from the arid field. Corpses crawling and pushing themselves out of the ground. All of them facing and approaching her.

The girl curls up on the branch. They can't reach her here. She is safe.

Nothing is truly safe and the blood soaked wood creaks under her slight weight. She doesn't scream when it snaps. Suddenly there is nothing obstructing her and she falls into the waiting arms of corpses.

Trial:
Why has God forsaken me? Is it a sin to want to live?

Sunako's trial is completely tied to self reflection and, in essence, the acceptance of her death and sins that came afterwards. She sees herself as a murderer and a sinner but she still wants to live- only to get murdered by a man who claims to be justice. Her goal will be a search for fulfillment, acceptance, and grace. She wants to be forgiven. In canon her strongest attachments are to those she considers family and humans who can accept her despite her need to feed off human blood. In canon, she is "saved" in the end by Muroi telling her that she is forsaken and that is okay because that also absolve her of her sins, she is outside the realm of God and completely alone. I doubt she will reach the same conclusion without Muroi to tell her his opinion, and in my opinion would result in becoming sin-locked and bad end, but it's a good idea of what she wants. In canon her sins don't count because she is Alone... How will her sins be forgiven as a Haibane?

I plan to have her tackle this trial by wanting to be of use to others. She will face a compulsion to be self sacrificing because her sins in life are tied closely to being "selfish" and putting her life above others. She rationalized murder as acceptable because it meant she didn't have to starve. She rationalized murdering a whole town so she could surround herself with friends and family similar to her. She spent her whole life rationalizing the horrible things she does while hating herself in the process and never truly accepting herself. There is no doubt that she will struggle with this because she won't ever have clear memories of why she feels like a monster. With regained fragmented memories she'll know she did something horrible, murder, but never know exactly what, how, and to what extent. She will need the support of others to reassure her and forgive her so that she can forgive herself. If she can't make any close emotional ties with her fellow haibane and confide in them she will suffer. She will also have to face her fear of death and accept that but that is secondary to the acceptance of her sins.

It was a surreal experience being able to read and understand long and difficult books, she must have always been a bibliophile, while simultaneously not remembering any fine details from past novels. So far she had managed to scrape by but she wouldn't get far in helping the children write their own essays if she didn't refresh her memory of the classics.

A girl on a mission, Sunako has set up shop in the town's library and is ready to buckle down for the next couple of hours. She has already amassed a collection of familiar sounding titles around a plump armchair. A lot of the books caught her eye actually but she was sticking with things that looked popular, she could indulge in the more niche novels after reestablishing her base. Maybe then she would know in more certain terms what her tastes were in the first place.

However, there are roadblocks in her road to good reading as well. Like very tall shelves. Which is why she tugs on the sleeve of whomever is closest to the shelf in question, the fact they are a fellow Haibane emboldens her, and shares her brightest smile. Who could say no to such a lovable little girl? Surely no one she's talking to, she hopes. As soon as she has their attention she lets go to point up to a high shelf.]

Excuse me, could you grab that for me?
