Initial reaction action?
You open your eyes and look around the room. Everything's destroyed. Picture frames are broken, shelves are knocked over, screens are broken, wires are cut, and suddenly, you feel an unbelievable sensation of warmth and comfort until you look down. Your body is on the floor and you have what appears to be ropes around your body. You're a ghost, you discover, as you try to open the door in hopes of it being a dream. Nobody can see you, nobody can hear you. What's the first thing you actually do? The roller coaster of emotions aside. Do you go and find a loved one? Try to find a way to come back?
Interesting twist: You discover when you close your eyes, you can access an alternative universe of our own with information on things that help the dead come back, but the ways to do so are complicated. *Interesting twist question: You open a book while you're in the alternative universe and the page header reads "Reincarnation," you slowly glance at the bottom of the page and read it. What does it read? (ie: If you can determine a way to come back from the dead, how would it happen?) |
Am I a ghost that can move objects in the real world, or do I just pass straight through them and have no way of interacting with reality at all?
First of all I would find out how I actually died. Judging from the scene, it sounds like some sort of murder. If so then I'd track down my murderer before attempting reincarnation at all. Seeing as I'm a ghost I suppose I would be able to track them down easier seeing as I can eavesdrop, float around the place etc. Once I've done that, I'd attempt the reincarnation. If I had to choose my way of coming back to the dead? I honestly have no idea, ideally it would be easy, but I doubt anything of that nature would be easy. I'd probably have to pass a set of trials that judge my character in order to see if I'm worthy of returning to reality. I really can't think up of any trials without ripping off a novel/movie. Once I'm back in reality, I'd track down my killer (if I was indeed murdered) and take my revenge. Although not by murder, I'd just use my knowledge to prove their crime of attacking me (I actually miraculously survived despite being battered to near death). Unless I could move objects as a ghost, then I'd kill them whilst in ghost mode just for a laugh. After that, I'd get back to my usual life. I wouldn't tell anyone about what happened because I don't see anything good coming from talking about such things. |
You have no way of reacting to anything in the real world, but in the alternate world (which is a carbon copy of the real world updated in real-time) you can interact with anything you'd like. Granted people aren't in the alternate world (though I guess you can say people in the real world are ghosts in the alternate world). Only the dead have knowing access to the alternate world.

Depending on if I was living with anyone/family in the house, I would check to see if they are alive.
The first thing I would do is inspect my own body. I want to know why I am dead. I want to know what these ropes are. After that, I wouldn't go to see everyone though, I think the pain of seeing them but them not seeing me would be too much. As regards to the twists, I would seek out how to bring myself back to life, obviously. If the ways are complicated, it isn't like I am going to die any time soon, so I would study them and see if there would be a way to reverse my death depending on how I died. And in regards to the interesting twist, I see the ghost as my soul, I guess. Find a way to merge my ghost self with my real body. But if that doesn't come under the category of 'reincarnation', I guess I would want to start life from scratch as a new born baby, but with no memories of my previous life, as it would be too painful to see my family and friends die when I am still young. |
In that case I would hang around in the real world for a while and just gather some information. Maybe check out some other random things I am interested in, see if anyone misses me at all. If the alternate world is a carbon copy of the real world then it may actually be better than the real world. When I first read that I imagined it being an empty world of endless darkness or something.
But depending on how my former life in reality was, and how interesting this new alternate world is, I may stay in the alternate world. If I was leading a happy life before then I would no doubt want to return to it. If I was just some lonely loser then I'd probably stay in the alternate world and just hang out with some cool dead people from the past. |
At first, I'd go into denial that I'm not dead. After I've calmed down, I'd just go look around my hometown and see how life is like without me. As for the way on how to bring the dead back: the method would be to find at least 10 people who just can't deal without me around; if I do, I'll be brought back to life (simple, I know).

Not going to lie. The very first thing I would do? Pass through a wall. I've always wanted to do that! I'd probably get caught up in the novelty of it all before moving on to more serious matters.
After that, then yes, I'd go figure out what happened to me. It's the one thing I just have to do, because I'd be curious about it. I'd probably visit family, if I was feeling curious, although that might be more upsetting then anything else. As for coming back... I don't know. I could see some advantages of being a ghost. Like floating through walls! *coughs* I guess it'd all depend on how my life was at the time. Everything dies, at some point. |
Freak out and pinch myself to see if this is just a dream. If it isn't, then I'd probably investigate how I ended up in this state (i.e., how I died) and then go into some deep, intense thinking about how everything I believed about the supernatural and the afterlife was dead wrong...
Then I'd investigate to see if the method of bringing myself back to life was feasible. If so, I would definitely attempt it. |

I think it would play out a little something like this:

I'd probably use that knowledge to let loved ones know I'm near. As for coming back... I'm not sure I'd be ready for reincarnation. If anything, I'd want to come back as myself or not at all. |
