Fourteen [Audio]

[brbpouncingyou]

...five days 'til Christmas. Y'think they're gonna throw anything at us again? I mean, it's been ten years since I got here. Not that I'm complaining. Best ten years in my life, guys. But you'd think it'd at least be the 60's by now? Sheesh.

[He's probably already noticed that in the 10 years, Ai hasn't aged at all. Being dead and all at home tends to do that to you.]

Perhaps they will wait for the day of the holiday....before punishing us.

[brbpouncingyou]

...Maybe. Usually they do it earlier. So they make us feel rotten. Or... rotten-er, anyway.

[[Some quick, weak laughter.]]

[miss_enma_ai]

Yes, they are cruel like that.

Not that it matters in the end.

[brbpouncingyou]

...You ever want to go home?

[miss_enma_ai]

[There is a long pause but she's gotten better over the years and you're a friend so you get an answer]

It's...rather nice not having to be the Hell Girl but...

....everyone is getting older here...except for me...can you die of old age here?

[brbpouncingyou]

...It seems like that'd be the only way to die, come to think of it. Dying from being old, I mean.

[miss_enma_ai]

Oh....

[brbpouncingyou]

I doubt they'd allow us to die repeatedly as an elderly person. It wouldn't make sense.

[miss_enma_ai]

...oh.

That means...

[she's going to be alone again]

[brbpouncingyou]

...We're all going to die eventually.

I'm sorry, Ai.

[miss_enma_ai]

I know...

All humans die.

[brbpouncingyou]

...Yeah. We do.

[miss_enma_ai]

[Stupid humans]

[There is a very very long pause]

Don't go to Hell.

[brbpouncingyou]

The alternative is Heaven, isn't it?

[miss_enma_ai]

Among other things.

There is a hell though ... don't end up there.

[brbpouncingyou]

I think I've been a good enough person to not end up in Hell. What do you think?
