014: Afterlife [Anon Text]

[redsnowangel]

A while ago, I asked if there were people like me around here who couldn't - or didn't want - to go back where they came from. Aside from the whole 'Wah wah how could anyone not want to go home?' thing, some of the comments I got were pretty interesting.

So, I've been meaning to ask; Is there anyone else here who died back where they were from? Pretty sure that option hasn't really come into the whiny faction's minds yet.

[Reaching to her chest instinctively to that, Pyrrha looked a bit down to that.]

I have. [A pause before going on.] I... This place is... all I have left. The only chance to live and stay with my friends.

[This wasn't someone he recognised. Pretty cute, though.]

Same here. I mean, I died just before I woke up here, so this is my home now.

Sounds like there's a lot of people you know from back there in Genessia as well?

I just started to get better not too long from being here, so... I guess I wouldn't mind.

[ She would love to see Algis, Cerys and Fleur, though, as well as the rest of her friends back home, however. ]

Sounds like things were pretty bad, huh?

Personally, I can't say I'd rush back even if I could.

Does it count if I'm about one second away from dying there?

[ anon text ]

[redsnowangel]

Yeah, that'll count. Least you got spared actually experiencing the death part, that's pretty painful.

Not really the answer you're looking for, but I guess you could say I'm technically dead. By all rights, I should be entirely.

And at home? I think I wish I was. I'd rather stay in this place than the living hell I was subjected to there.

[redsnowangel]

That sounds unpleasent. And hey, I was just throwing it out there, not too picky on answers so long as they're not whiny.

You and me both. In the end I just wanted out, and basically goaded my old teammates into killing me. Then I woke up here. I'd say all things considered, this worked out pretty well for both of us. Here's an alright place, you know?

If I had a home to go back to, it might bother me more.

That rough back where you are?

I had been dead for more or less eternity before Genessia brought me here.

Some people feel that it's malicious to be 'kidnapped' and brought here, especially if it might turn out that the reason Genessia does this is because it needs us to exist... and they are entitled to that opinion.

But personally, I have enough memories of 'home' to last several more lifetimes and I have no interest in returning.

An eternity, huh... How're you even aware you were gone that long?

Yeah, I figured, still annoying hearing the whining though. To be honest, if this place just wants us here to keep it's existence going, it's a price I'm happy to pay. Seems a pretty good deal for a second chance at a better life.

You and me both. I'm glad there's a few of us.

I'd already punched my ticket hours before the pulled me here, kid. Does that answer your question?

[redsnowangel]

[So he gave off the impression he was a child when he was hiding his identity? That or the person answering was relatively old.]

Yeah, pretty much. How'd you know you were dead a couple of hours first, though? It was pretty instantaneous for me.

[Hope Zelos knows Spanish.]

Realmente no quiero volver a mi mundo, incluso si todavía estoy vivo allí. Todo el mundo era un idiota y siempre se puede deshacer de ellas. Aquí puedo al menos tener algo de paz y tranquilidad, y hay algunas personas que realmente pueden udnerstand esto.

[Zelos just gave the videophone a blank look. What was this even?]

Uh...what?

There's a walking dead joke to be made here somewhere.

I guess it's not the same since we're working on a cure in my world, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry.

[redsnowangel]

Oh, I'm sure there is.

...what're you sorry for?

[The apology took him by surprise - no one had really said that about his death before.]

So...living dead, huh. That's gotta be more uncomfortable than just dying.

[sizedoesntmatter]

I've never died per say. But I did once give up my soul to save someone else. That's... pretty much the closest thing that happened to me dying.

If it counts of course.

[redsnowangel]

[So, like giving up a Cruxis Crystal? That all seemed...weird. Very weird.]

That's...pretty impressive. I'm guessing that was pretty painful? Can't say I really get why you'd sacrifice yourself for someone else like that, though.

I'm gonna go with yes, probably.

I've nearly died after an incident. So while I've never experienced death and wouldn't understand people who have, I've been on the edge.

[He didn't realise this was Fai, not at first.]

Sounds like you managed to get pulled back just in time, then?

[aurabble]

I haven't died on my world, yet. It could happen at any point but I've got no choice.

But I still want to stay here as long as I can. I'll still do what I have to on our world, so it doesn't make any difference how long I'm here, does it?

[Anon Text]

[redsnowangel]

Pretty sure you have some choice in the matter. Not like it's entirely out of our hands.

Far as I know, time's frozen back where we're from, at least while we're here. So no, it doesn't matter really. Guessing you've grown attached to this place too?

[trenchturncoat]

Haven't died, but I can understand how strange it is to return to your world after a while. Even if it is your home.

[Anon Text]

[redsnowangel]

Even if I was alive back on my world, I wouldn't want to go back. Here feels more like home than there ever did.

Sounds like you've been away a while. Did you end up somewhere else before Genessia then?
