Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

Your world has a very strange relationship with death.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

It's like a video game.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

Well, that's a mockery of it.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

I used up both of my lives, and I am on the game over screen now, because I didn't kill myself to go god tier.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

Why didn't you?

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

Because I ran away to Prospit, to dream. Until Jack killed that version of me.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

Mm. Do you regret the choices that lead to this, then?

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

Kind of.

Because at least, if I were god tier, I would be immortal and alive. Unless it was a just or a heroic death.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

How picky . . .

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

And weird, but. . . [shrugs]

I don't want to be dead. I knew I was dead, but... then I got a skill that killed me, in front of Ruby, and Apple.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

They're allowed to be troubled over you.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

I know they are, but—[FUSSBIRD EMOTE GOES HERE]—I don't want to be dead, either, because it's the last thing that anyone needs, and it happened.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

Anyone . . . You mean, you.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

. . . Yes. I guess.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

You guess . . . Do you often not understand yourself?

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

You know that I always say that, C.C.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

I do, and I know it's a bad habit. Not charming or suited to you in the least.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

What kind of habit would be suited to me, then?

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

Hope.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

I think I can do that.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

I'll see that when it happens. [tough love, bb]

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

You haven't seen it yet?

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

In this exchange? No.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[pchaaair]

That is because this exchange involved... uh, me talking about being dead.

Re: Day 259, morning??

[immoetality]

That would explain why it is difficult to find, not the absolute absence of it. You don't have to display it, but it can exist, outside of your awareness.
