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?

...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.

I've died here, and it hurt!

Nope, I didn't even know that it happened until someone told me.

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

It was in the middle of an experiment...and the only thing I can still remember is just a lot of pain.

In my world, death is death. Thus you bear the weight of knowing those you love will never come back and it is natural to mourn for them.

If it is true that those in this world can come back, you still bear the thoughts of the time you lost them and want to cherish the times when they are alive.

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

I suppose so.

Then to answer your questions: would you like the official statement or a more...philosophical one? People do tend to get testy if you tell them the facts and leave little room for debate after all.

When one dies and the Soul is reaped, the Record is viewed and judged. Those Records are kept for all time because apparently nothing in the universe is without bureacratic red tape, and the Soul is sent to either Heaven to experience eternal peace or Hell to be devoured and tortured for eternity.

Or so we're supposed to say. Put the fear of eternal damnation in a person and they tend to live a rather straight life.

I'm supposed to stick to the official statement, but~ Well, it isn't like Will is here to beat me for this.

Souls are Souls. I truly don't think they much care where they go after they're separated from their bodies, so whether there is a Heaven or Hell or not is...ambiguous at best.

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.

That is more or less correct.

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

A Soul can be devoured and destroyed, sold and manipulated as easily as anything else. Demons specialize in that, as do other supernatural beings.

Ooh, but I sound like I'm lecturing and I do so hate lecturing. Why the interest?
