Alright, I tried this once, but it sadly never managed to go anywhere. It's 3AM, so I'm just going to give a VERY brief overview and answer any questions anyone may ask overnight when I wake up.

Basically, there's a place that doesn't "exist" called Nonexistence. Here exists everything that doesn't exist in the real world, but that has a strong enough tether. The best example I can give is Santa Claus. He doesn't exist, but because of all the kids who believe in the concept and idea of him, he does exist in Nonexistence. Making sense so far?

When people die, they technically "cease" to exist in the real world as we know it, but because they have a strong tether, their souls come to exist in Nonexistence. For as long as they live on as an idea in the real world, they continue to exist in Nonexistence. However, should they cease to exist as an idea, or should the tether become too weak or be forced to break, they will fade from existence, leaving behind only a cube referred to as Essence of Existence.

There exists a girl here named Umu Nanoko (very roughly translates to Nonexistent Girl, according to Google Translate), who oversees Nonexistence. When those who've come here after death fade away, she turns their cubes into a flower that she believes represents them and plants them in her flower garden.

This is just a vague overview, but I think you get where I'm headed. The gist of this RP would be a slice of life philosophy, with your characters being people who've recently ended up in Nonexistence. The focus will be on your characters' reactions to their circumstances and their ability to come to terms with (or not) with their situation. As can be guessed, all characters will eventually fade away, but when your character does so will be up to you.

All that said, any questions so far?
 
Gotta wait for decent internet to post anything concrete.

Yep, sorry, procrastinated on this one for some reason. Slipped my mind I guess. Will work on a CS after I finish the one I'm currently working on and the dragon thingy.
 
Actually, I'm the one that procrastinated, haha. Posted an OOC out of desperation.
 
I may be! Let me give it some thought and see if I can handle it since I've added more roleplay to my belt
 
Sorry, I'm dropping out of this one. I'm kind of packed with other roleplays and other shit.
 
Language. :^(
