Game 019 [Voice] - There's a Pun in Here...

[neverplaysfair]

With so many people suddenly dying, I was wondering: what's it like to die here, where death isn't permanent? If you've died back in your home world, what's the afterlife like where you're from?

And even if you haven't, does death seem less important, does it carry less weight here than it did back home?

...Death is a serious matter. It doesn't matter where you go, in my opinion. Even if it isn't always permanent here that doesn't lessen it I think.

Even though it isn't the end of everything for a person?

I've died here, and it hurt!

[neverplaysfair]

Do you remember anything between when you died and when you came back to life?

Being someone who has seen death before, it is a very serious issue. It also does bear great weight, at least upon myself.

[neverplaysfair]

Even though you can come back?

Suddenly dying? More like murdered rather horrifically. Someone's going to get in trouble~

[neverplaysfair]

Well, it was the dying that had me curious. The fact that it's murder is a bit of an afterthought that's irrelevant to the questions.

Can't say I've experienced death [not his own, anyway] but I can tell you this. In my world, whatever is believed the most strongly is what is reality. If you believe in a Heaven/Hell scenario, it exists. If you believe there is no afterlife, that exists - or rather, doesn't.

[neverplaysfair]

Interesting. What if what two people believe causes a direct conflict?

It is nothing compared to respawning. The respawn time here is simply too long.

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

What does respawning entail?

[ There would be ellipses in here somewhere if this were a voice post. Because that just sounds like all kinds of special and um wat. ]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Never died.

But here, death would still be very important for me, for reasons I'd prefer not to go into over the journal system...although you might already know what they are.

[neverplaysfair]

Being able to come back doesn't change anything?

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

I think like... you just loose a day or something. Like, it feels like you slept all day, but it's not like I've ever met anyone who's died before.

[neverplaysfair]

Is that your guess, then? Or is there something to back it up?

...

Planning a killing spree, Josh?

[ voice ]

[neverplaysfair]

Not at all. That's not really my thing. [ AS OPPOSED TO YOURS, Mr. I'll-allow-for-Taboo-Noise-all-over-the-UG-and-watch-as-the-weaker-Reapers-become-Noise-chow ]

Dying isn't a game. It doesn't matter if it's permanent or not. It still has an affect on everyone connected to that person...

Even if they're reborn.

[neverplaysfair]

But isn't most of its weight grounded in the fact that once someone dies, they can never come back?

[broken-messiah.livejournal.com]

Death is important no matter where it happens.

[neverplaysfair]

Even when it doesn't last?

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it carries less weight. Dying is still dying.

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

But it isn't permanent.

[avoiding the first part]

No.

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

Why?

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, this question is hilarious to him. He's died way too many times to even begin to count in all his lives. But it's always the same, and even if it wasn't for Luceti, he'd always come back.

So he's just going to laugh in his creepy way.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua isn't freaked out by creepy laughs. So he'll just wait until the laughter has died down to reply. ]

Which part?

[Voice]

[epicenity.livejournal.com]

Death is less fun here. But I guess it's still pretty interesting to look at.

[Voice]

[neverplaysfair]

You're speaking as someone who hasn't died?

[goldenglasses]

It doesn't matter if they come back; death is still a very serious thing and shouldn't be taken lightly.

[neverplaysfair]

But doesn't the fact that it isn't permanent make it less imposing?

[Voice]

[demented-mama.livejournal.com]

Unlike here death is a final thing back home, you go once and unless you end up reincarnating, that's it.

Luceti makes death more troublesome, considering you can die more than once with a price attached for each revival.

[Voice]

[neverplaysfair]

Would you rather death here was more like as it is back on your world?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

[Avoiding the last question!]

I don't know what dying's like, and personally I don't want to. Afterlife's kind of vague.

[neverplaysfair]

Vague how? No one you're aware of in your world knows?
