014: Afterlife [Anon Text]

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. ]

Yeah. There's a good number of us now. Within the past few weeks a lot of us has come...

It's... not particularly fun to see all of your friends try to avoid you and try not to speak to you when they know about your death, but you don't know anything yourself. I couldn't deal with it anymore so... I had to find out for myself.

That's impressive. There's only one other person here from my world, thankfully.

Yeeaahh, I can imagine when they all know something you don't, that'd be a pain. So guessing you went to the Dream Docks and lived through it all?

Sounds like things were pretty bad, huh?

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

Yep. Both Yang and I went. We sort of had an idea of what would happen, but... There's some information that only I know about that's vital. I... it wasn't enough to just hear about it. I don't like sitting in the dark.

Except now we're both worried that they won't treat us like us anymore. Instead, we'll be those precious people that need to be shielded and protected all of the time. Not that it's a bad thing just.... It's different. I only had one friend actually treat me just like he would have before it happened, despite knowing. I'm hoping that it eventually gets better though...

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

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.

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

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.

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

[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.

Honestly, if it were me, I'd have just run away from the truth and ignored it. Then again, that's pretty much how I deal with everything from my world these days.

That sounds like a real pain. Nothing worse than people treating you like something and forgetting who you are as a person. Still, guess if everyone's only just found out about all this, it might just be a matter of waiting for the shock factor to wear off.

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

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?

That rough back where you are?

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.

[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.

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

Uh...what?

I'm not sure if I'm entirely aware of it.

Knowledge of ones existence as a dream bubble memory is always sketchy.

But my aspect lends a certain degree of knowledge about the subject. I do know that it feels very different to be here in Genessia than it does to be floating in the furthest ring. It feels far more... engaging.

While theoretically there are infinite versions of myself and my friends floating around, in practice there's a definite limitation of probability based on what actions they would have actually taken. Themes tend to become obvious, and minor differences become unimportant.

It's like watching the same movie over and over again, where the only thing that changes is the style of the outfits.

Well, some places definitely have it rougher than others. But the place I called 'home' is sort of overrun by Grimm right now. [And a second later Blake is realizing she has no idea what that is.] Monsters.

It's a damn sight better here than what I have to put up with at home. Especially given that the ones who saved my life only have me around to serve as the best weapon they've got.

At least here I can live and be treated normally.

As much as that was tempting... I just felt... like I really needed to know.

Yang and I decided we weren't going to let them coddle us, but it's still a little disconcerting... I'm sure it would calm down once the shock dies down, but I wonder.

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.
