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?

It's not as if most people want to see him, so they don't. A few might see him say, right before they die, but otherwise normal people shouldn't be able to see him.

[neverplaysfair]

Why can you, then?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

I deal with a lot of dying. And I'm the same sort of being as Death, anyway. It wouldn't make sense not being able to see him.

[neverplaysfair]

What type of being is that?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

Of the godly type.

[neverplaysfair]

Interesting. Will you die some day?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

[Now is a very good time to lie. Or half-truth, anyway.]

Not if I don't want to.

[neverplaysfair]

But you could, if you chose to?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

Not that I want to any time soon, but yes.

[neverplaysfair]

How old are you?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

Damn old, is all I'm saying.

[neverplaysfair]

Can I have an order of magnitude?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

More or less as old the bloody world, which would be...at least a few thousand years, give or take.

[neverplaysfair]

I see. But you still don't know what it's like to die.

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

I can imagine, but it's not like I'd know how it's like personally.

[neverplaysfair]

About how long does reincarnation take?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

Beats me. When it happens, it happens.

[neverplaysfair]

What's it like being godly?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

That's like asking a fish what's it like being in the water.

[neverplaysfair]

Compare what you can to those who you've dealt with who aren't, then.

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

...Man, it's still kind of hard to explain. Well, its like...sometimes, we just know things that most normal people have to figure out for themselves. And our perception of time can be really screwed up because even if we know it's technically been a long time, it doesn't really feel that way.

[neverplaysfair]

Know things like what?

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

You sure are asking a lot of questions.

[neverplaysfair]

I'm curious.

[notdarksiders.livejournal.com]

Awfully so, it seems.
