Greetings, oh wondrous City! It's been some time since I've chatted with you last. I'm sorry I missed the giant lizard fiasco - and by sorry, I mean not at all - but I do hope everyone has recovered, resurrected or otherwise been accommodated by this City's forgiving nature. "Forgiving" being a relative term, of course

Some people don't stay dead here?

Hmm...I suppose that would make sense...

[voice]

[bestmachine]

I take it you missed all the excitement a month or so ago. People were popping up left and right claiming to be returned from the dead. I bet you're glad you know.

[voice]

[spiritofkulelna]

I guess I must have.

I have no fear of death. It's something of a disappointment, really.

[voice]

[bestmachine]

I'd consider it an advantage.

[voice]

[spiritofkulelna]

That you might come back, or that other people do?

[voice]

[bestmachine]

I was referring to "not fearing death," actually. I can't see why it would be disappointing.

[voice]

[spiritofkulelna]

I suppose I could have been clearer. I don't find that disappointing at all.

[voice]

[bestmachine]

Aha. Now I'm following you, my friend. I take it you've made some enemies.

[voice]

[spiritofkulelna]

I might have a few here. I'd certainly want someone I wanted dead to stay dead. There's little point to killing them if they won't stay that way.

[voice]

[bestmachine]

Little point, yes, but it's not entirely useless. For instance, I imagine the whole dying thing is one of the more traumatic parts of death.

[voice]

[spiritofkulelna]

Hmm, it can be. It's more the knowledge that you're about to die than the act itself. Although, if it's painful enough, I'd imagine that wouldn't be your last thought.

We're forgetting that not everyone seems to magically come alive again.
