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?

What else about it would you consider important?

If you don't mind my curiosity—why are you asking?

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

It's interesting to find out how others think.

Is that all?

[neverplaysfair]

Must there be more?

If you're choosing now to ask, yes.

The reasons anyone dies seem just as important as the dying. Those don't go away whether you come back or not.

What if they die over nothing?

[Written]

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

There's still a cause.

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

A simple slip or an accident? Would you say these matter?

[Written]

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

They matter.

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

Even though they could just as easily not lead to death?

[Written]

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make the death any less important.

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

What makes the cause so important?

[Written]

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

The fact that it brings suffering, I suppose.

What of those who are relieved by death?

[Written]

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

Weren't you talking about how it is here?

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

The difference between here and where you're from. This place just serves as a foil where death isn't permanent.

[Written]

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

But there isn't much relief in that sort of death.

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

Which sort? There are a few who welcome death in all its forms.

[Written]

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

Even if they'll only be brought back?

[Written]

[neverplaysfair]

It might relieve them of immediate suffering.

—I suppose you're right about that. But that doesn't solve

If it's an easy way out to just die and come back again, wouldn't you say that gives death less weight?

[Written]

I'm not sure it's a way out at all. Stopping immediate pain doesn't change the cause or the suffering.
