(The original game Ghost Trick: Phantom detective and it's storyline is in no way, shape, or form associated with this. I only took inspiration from it.)
Dang... Turn off that light.
What... What the heck is going on?
Who is that man... Why is everything so fuzzy?
Why can't I move... Why can't I say anything?
This room looks trashed... Why did this happen?
Wait.
Wait a second.
What the hell is that on the floor.
Oh my god.
No, no, get away!
Its... Me...
I remember now. The screaming. That guy with a gun, I think I see him over there.
Damn, I look bad. Explosion or something. Where's my left arm?
No one can see me. No one can hear me, either, and I'm yelling pretty darn loud.
So what, I'm a ghost? Is that it? Must be. I don't know what to do now.
Its weird. I don't remember much about how I died.
Or anything before that.
Why was I even here?
And more importantly...
WHO AM I?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three minutes ago, the office building was perfectly normal. Then, at exactly 4:30 PM, The third and top floor blew to smithereens. A few civilians walking along the street below reported nothing weird, except that the building's power was out. A look at the security camera's in the building reported that at 4:26 PM, all power in the building went out, taking the camera's with it.
Over a dozen people died in the explosion, incling an escaped convict and two undisclosed govornment officials. The other nine all appear to be random citizens, either who worked at the building or were somehow brought there.
Already, all thirteen people inside have been pronounced dead. The building is currently being searches by multiple law enforcement agencies from the county and beyond. This is live news in Livetown, IL, from channel 101. Back to you, Kate.
TL;DR: An office building exploded and a bunch of people died. One of them was you. Oh well.
Now, you are probably wondering, 'What the heck?' and 'Why did I get caught up in this' and 'I sure hope someone takes the dog outside.'
Well, unfortunetly, you don't know the answers to any of these things. The past hour or so of your memory, before you died, is a complete blur. So, obviously, you want to find out why you are dead.
However, this isn't an easy task. You can't just walk up to someone, saying, 'Hey, wana give me the spill? Why I'm going to be six feet under in a few?'
Sorry. Nope.
However, due to some pretty special surcumstances, you happen to have ghost abilities (Or 'tricks' as some call them). No, you aren't a polertegist that can throw wooden stakes or something like that. You have... special abilities.
You get to choose, just before I decide to wake you up here. Choose wisely... You don't get a second choice. Ever. Because you died.
RULES
Killing the living isn't nice. But I guess ill let you...
Killing other ghosts is not only mean, but impossible.
If you raise TOO much of a stir, the living will know something is definetly up.
REMEMBER, you are trying to find out how you died. However, free roaming is fine. Do whatever you think you should.
GHOST ABILITIES
Standard abilities: all of you get these. Hooray!
Passing through walls: As a ghost, physics don't matter. (TAKE THAT, SCIENCE!) Basically, that means you can pass through solids, like walls, the ground, ect. This does have limitations, like it takes a good amount of energy to go through one based on the thickness, but still. Passing through walls is good.
Talking to Canines: Dogs are cool. They can chase their tails. They can drool a lot. They can run. They can eat food. But whats REALLY cool, is that they can communicate with ghosts. All you have to do is touch the dog, and you can talk to them. Time still passes, though, and it kind of freaks some people out when a dog just randomly stares into the air for extended amounts of time.
Entering objects: You can enter most objects, with the following limitations. They can't be electrical. They can't be food. They can't be highly mechanical (Something like a clock is fine, but something like a gun... it needs a bit more.). You can't hitch onto clothes (But hats count.) Entering objects is a GREAT way to save energy.
Moving: You can move! HOORAY! Well, that isn't much, but do note that moving long distances in the ghost world tires you more than if you were still alive. Especially running (Even though you don't really have legs.) tires you out. Try to just hitch onto things if you can.
Talking to the newly-dead and other ghosts: You can see and talk to other ghosts, and they can do the same. You can also talk to people who just died, even if they aren't destined to get a ghost, by touching the corpse. There is a time limit, about an hour or so.
Premium ghost abilities: You get to choose ONE of these. Choose wisely.
Manipulating objects: This allows you to manipulate most objects, including tools, toys, ect. You can make them float short distances off the ground, however this does consume energy. Also, seing a toy train floating does tend to freak people out. You can float anything, but you cannot interact with electrical things (Like touch-screen phones, generators, ect.)
Electrokenesis: You can do what is stated above, just you can't make anything float. You can control electronic objects. This inclused shutting off lights without using the switch, shorting out things manually, moving valves, taking over vehicles (WARNING: DANGEROUS) and using small mechanical gadgets.
Mind control: A very interesting concept, but much more difficult than it seems. You can only control feeble-minded things, such as people with a mental disability, people in very stressful situations, or people who are sleeping. This can last for a VERY limited time, about five minutes at the most, and its pretty tiring. Use this very wisely.

| I reach to open the door and leave, and then shake my fist at the door, realizing I can't open it. I decide to opt to wait for investigators to open the door. |

A doctor rushes in, but slams the door shut on your hand... Which feels nothing. Actually, your hand is inside the door now.
(Reminder that you can travel through thin walls.) |

You see your body, and realize your mortal name. It was something like...: Daniel Bach, it is the one that seems familiar to me.
You are a bit sad to see you are dead. Looking over your old body carefully, you note...: I see short, medium hair on a burnt corpse covered in ash and dust. I realize it is me, a male at an average height of 5'5 with blue, deep eyes.
You know you are a ghost. You have an odd urge to choose between three different things: I feel as if I gained an ability of sorts from my death, I concentrate my eyes on something, and it starts to hover a few inches above the ground. I could manipulate objects..
Right before you look up at the others, you note the place you are at: An office building, the time I remember before the flash was.. 4:26? My memory fails me if I try to think beyond that.

The doctor walks up to a body, not yours, and looks it over. "This one got the most of the explosion. It actually appears he had the explosive on him... Suicide bomber, perhaps?" He says, taking a bloodied gun from his hand. Another officer walks in, taking out his Walkie Talkie. He talks into it, but you can't hear. Perhaps interacting with it would be favorable... |

You see your body, and realize your mortal name. It was something like...: John, or Johnny? Something like that, and my last name is, hmm. Oh yes! I think it is Hugo. That is my best guess, take it or leave it.
You are a bit sad to see you are dead. Looking over your old body carefully, you note...: Hello Me.. Such a nice man you were, with you cool leather jacket, black jeans, white shirt, and your perfect hair. WHY. WHY THE HAIR? I frowned. I scanned myself over, even in death I was H-O-T. Perfect height, 6'1, muscled, yet lean like a tiger. I sighed again, waving farewell to the body of super cool me.
You know you are a ghost. You have an odd urge to choose between three different things: Well, seeing as I like trains.. And scaring people. I'll pick that controly objects one? If that is okay with you.
Right before you look up at the others, you note the place you are at: The Office Building silly boy. |

Everyone
The room is in ruins. The entire west wall is blown off, and parts of the roof are as well, revealing the dim sunlight. Rubble and glass covers the ground, along with a few large holes. Blood litters the floor, making for a very disturbing picture.
The police officer gets off the walkie talkie. "Hey, Doc, What kind of stuff you got so far?" He says, his bostonian accent clear. The doctor sighs, and waves him away. He leans in closer to the body of the gunman.
The whole affair seems a bit suspicious. (Well, a LOT counting all of the people who just went kaboom.) |

A jacket with jeans on is not very descriptive at all, and you didn't go in first person. Try again. |

Maybe if I died? I'd come back, like reserve life. GREAT PLAN. I shook my ghost hands [?] before charging off for the gaping hole in the wall. |
