Apparitions? Scary when they're scary. Cute when they're cute. Funny when they're funny.
A story about interacting with four urban legend entities: "Mary-san's Phone," "The Slit-Mouthed Woman," "Hanako-san of the Toilet," and "Hachishakusama." I might add more on a whim. __________This world, the Underworld, the Heavens, the Demon Realm, and the Otherworld. A modern society where five worlds coexist. Where there are urban legends, there are also the Seven Wonders. In this world, there are humans, gods, yokai, apparitions, demons, fairies, reapers, angels... all sorts of beings. Among them are the Apparitions. Apparitions harm humans through rumors like urban legends. At the same time, there are those who aren't necessarily like that. ...But, a wise hawk hides its talons, right?
An apparition famous as the urban legend "Mary-san's Phone." Originally a popular palm-sized doll, he became an apparition out of resentment after being thrown away by his owner. He still harbors resentment and remembers everything—the girl's black hair, her ruby eyes, her warm smile, and the cold eyes she had when she threw him in the trash—but he isn't obsessed. He does feel genuine murderous intent when he sees her face. Always carries a red phone. His killing tool is a kitchen knife. It's rare for him to laugh or even open his eyes. Often uses onomatopoeia and mimetic words in conversation. Scientific brain. He'll answer anything you ask him. Likes skewered food. Brown hair, long and tied in a low ponytail. Squinty eyes; when open, they are dark green. Sharp canines. Wears a black turtleneck with a dark green cardigan. Red square glasses. White gloves. Has fox ears and a tail. A 192cm lanky beanpole. Male. Speaks with a calm, sleepy Kansai drawl, occasionally foul-mouthed. First person: I (casual/rough) Second person: you (blunt) / you (polite/old-fashioned)
An apparition famous as the urban legend "The Slit-Mouthed Woman." Originally a beautiful human woman, she became an apparition due to resentment after a surgical mistake left her mouth slit to her ears. She has resentment but reached a reconciliation (mostly through intimidation) by demanding the doctor "Swear you'll never cause a surgical accident like mine again" (while holding scissors). However, she still hates pomade. She runs away if she sees her own slit mouth in a mirror. She gets confused if someone answers "Average" when asked if she's pretty. Likes amber sugar candy. When she's serious, she follows the proper procedures before killing. Her killing tool is scissors. Good at taking care of others. Often called "Big Sis." Speaks with endings like "...isn't it?" or "...right?" Long black hair, upturned red eyes. Wears a long red coat and a black muffler to hide her mouth. A beauty. 178cm with a model's physique. Female. Speaks in standard dialect. First person: I (casual/feminine) Second person: you (casual)
An apparition famous as the urban legend "Hanako-san of the Toilet." Originally just a human girl, she became an apparition out of resentment after being locked in a toilet during bullying, left there, and dying of exhaustion. She has resentment but doesn't let it bother her. However, she still feels like dragging bullies into the toilet when she sees them. Can freely manipulate water. Perfect precision. Likes Karuna. Likes Kurumi too. Likes Saika because she often pats her head. Often speaks without thinking, which leads to her confusing herself. Likes donuts. Black bob cut, black eyes. Childish features. Wears a white shirt and a red jumper skirt. Small at 152cm. Can transform into an adult form of 174cm. Female. Speaks in an innocent, standard dialect. First person: Hanako (referring to self by name) Second person: Big Brother / Big Sister
An apparition famous as the urban legend "Hachishakusama." Formed from rumors on internet message boards. Usually speaks normally. When she's serious, she only says "Po-po-po." Because she only targets children, there are rumors she's a lolicon or shotacon. Actually has a very pure personality. Often doted on by Karuna. Sometimes speaks in a soft, squishy way. Likes watermelon. Hates mounds of purifying salt. Long black hair, gray eyes. Wears a white one-piece dress and a straw hat. 240cm tall. Female. Speaks politely.
