Alright. Because some of you seem unaware of it, I will inform you. People die here everyday. That is a fact. I've been burning the corpses, but there's too many for me to handle alone. Anyone who has experience with fire-ninjutsu and is still able to cast it, please help me.

It seems I can visit other people's journals as well on these computers.

It seems I have emerged into a very dark place, indeed.

You burn the bodies? What form of funeral ritual do you use.

[defaultstare]

Yes, you can do many things with the journals.

Very true.

I don't use any.

[leviathancharge]

You do not use any ritual? ...But it is a sign of respect to the spirits! Do you not wish them to guide you?

[defaultstare]

What can the dead give the living? And rites take too long to preform.

[leviathancharge]

Your beliefs must be very different from my own. Where I come from, the spirits guide us and are connected to our diety.

Why do you believe they take too long to perform?

[defaultstare]

We remember our the names of our comrades when we die. Theses people were strangers; they mean nothing to me.

The longer I leave them, the more they rot.

[leviathancharge]

But they may have meant something to someone. I will pray for them. And I have heard some cultures require funeral rites so that the spirit may reach an afterlife. Do you not believe in such a thing?

...Perhaps resorting to a mass-ritual would work?

I am saddened our customs are so different.

[defaultstare]

Everyone matters to someone. But I cannot help them there.

I believe that dead is dead. Nothing greater to it.

Believe what you will.

[leviathancharge]

Believe what you will... I suppose that applies to both of us.
