What do you want on your tombstone?In all honesty, I don't suppose I shall get one. The last time I died, my body was... disposed of, and, so Old Bailey tells me, finished up in the hands of the Sewer Folk, before he bought it from them

Tombstones are overrated.

[favourpurveyor]

Agreed - they're an unnecessary affectation. Should I take that to mean you or someone you knew never got one?

[_bar_alphaeus]

Never got one myself, no, but that's largely due to the circumstances surrounding my death. *shrugs* It doesn't matter one way or the other, though.

[favourpurveyor]

May I ask what happened to you? Or is that something you'd prefer not to discuss?

[_bar_alphaeus]

*shrug* I don't mind.

I threw myself off a cliff after hanging that bastard Judas. The rest of them, Josh, Maggie, and the others, they were really hurt. Said I had the most reason to believe. They cut me out of the Gospels, so I guess a tombstone was out of the question.

*raises an eyebrow*

The version of the story I read as a child has Judas as a suicide. I'll take your word for it that your version is the true one.

[_bar_alphaeus]

*shrugs*

I've seen too much, lately, to say your version isn't the true one, in this world.

[favourpurveyor]

Perhaps. I've certainly spoken to people from several different versions of Earth.

(ooc: who is that boy in your icon? I use a different picture of him to represent my pup in another game, and I've never managed to identify him...)

[_bar_alphaeus]

True. I don't think this place entirely exists in any one dimension, really.

((OOC: Haven't the faintest idea. I found him on gettyimages, I think. Sorry!))

[favourpurveyor]

So, how did you come to be here?

*genuinely interested*

[_bar_alphaeus]

*surprised*

Well, if you're asking why I'm alive again, it's because they wanted our Gospels. The anniversary of Josh's birth, or something like that. If you're asking why I'm here, I couldn't really tell you. I never was one to think things through all the way, and it seemed a good idea at the time. *shrugs*

[favourpurveyor]

*nods*

You know, you may be the only person here who has both been resurrected and knows why.

[_bar_alphaeus]

Oh? Huh. I'd think otherwise, though with thought it makes sense that not everyone brought back would have a dolt of a yellow-haired angel standing in front of them, unapologetic and unbelievably dull.

Although I have to admit I'm at kind of a loss at what to do now. *shrugs*

[favourpurveyor]

Angels. Why do they always seem to be either psychotic, or, well, yes. Incredibly dull.

[_bar_alphaeus]

*laughs*

That's a good question. I think it's the stifling lifestyle, personally.

[favourpurveyor]

Very likely, yes. Poor things can't even get decently drunk, much less enjoy any other vices.
