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

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?

I wasn't feeling well, had gone to talk to him, he clapped me on the back, and I was twitchy enough that I turned around and clawed him before I realized what I'd done. And he wasn't fast enough getting out of the way. My fault for not staying away until I was feeling better.

Only people who get infected. And they only get three days.

Everyone else? Well, I can say they have a soul. What happens after they die, though, I dunno. But I grieve for them.

Because I'm here, and the Malnosso have helped to blocked it off for the most part.

The day I was 'sick', it had slipped whatever they'd done to me for a short time. They've redone it now. Hopefully, this time it sticks.

That's one way of putting it.

There's a drug back home that can keep it stable, kinda like the Malnosso are doing now. But there's no cure, and the drug itself is experimental, so although I know it works for a team-mate of mine, it's no guarantee it'll work for me. I was headed to a place that distributes it when I got dragged here.

Yes.

Still deciding what to do about that, although I already know that if I'm being smart, I'll retire from the hunting business. Doesn't do anyone any good if I risk being as dangerous as what I'm hunting, and there's no safety net, such as it is, back home.

Serious enough that the government, the church, and several private companies specializing in vampire hunting exist.

Depends on your definition. Do we find and kill entire nests? Yes. Do we lose hunters? Yes. Will we ever get rid of the vampires? Probably not. Considering it takes only one bite or scratch and so many of them prey on places off the beaten path...I think short of the human race dying out, there's no getting rid of them.

They came into existence because of the church and a group of excommunicated priests messing with things they shouldn't have been messing with.

And they perpetuated because the church tries to keep it secret. And the governments back them on it. And people...don't want to see until it happens to them.

Except it's usually not them that get attacked. It's the people that never had a chance to know until it's too late. Those are the ones I do my job for.

[Long silence]

...if the drugs work.

If not, I'll have to find someone willing to do me in. Can't both chop my own head off and stake myself in the heart.

[There's a quiet snort at that, and Derek shakes his head.]

Just the best thing to do for all involved.
