So why the fuck do people get worked up about dying here?  We just come back.  Hurts for a while, but it's no big deal.  Not like at home, where being dead means you stay dead.  Here there's no funerals, no real reason to feel bad... I mean, dying's like taking a day off.  Meaningless.  I figure I could kill myself a different way every day of the

People are just so used to death being final, I guess they just have problems getting out of that loop.

[is_the_walrus]

Yeah, I guess it's normal to keep thinking the same way.

Ever scrape your knee and run to mommy, all teary?

That's sorta what it's like.

[is_the_walrus]

What, people're asking for someone to kiss it better?

[fun_in_here]

Yeah. 'Cuz it hurts, and people feel better if they know everyone knows how bad it hurts.

Don't ask me how that works, I've never done it, personally.

[is_the_walrus]

I bet you have. I have.

[vampbratprince]

Death I do not mind at all.

Killing someone I care about, that is another thing entirely.

[is_the_walrus]

I'm not talking about killing people. Just saying that people die all the time here and come back, but people still freak out when a killer's running around.

[vampbratprince]

Ah, but someone I know was killed quite recently. Thus, the connection.

[is_the_walrus]

Everyone has someone they know dying or being killed around here.

[kingofatlantis]

People get worked up about everything, here.

[is_the_walrus]

Yeah, I noticed.

Does it make you think of soaps, ever? Crazy drama, people dying and coming back, shit like that?

[kingofatlantis]

Can't say I've ever seen one.

[is_the_walrus]

What, mom didn't go for daytime TV?

[obliviomancy]

I didn't think everyone came back.

[is_the_walrus]

Everyone I know about came back.

[obliviomancy]

That's not really the same thing.

[is_the_walrus]

It's close enough.

Most people come back.
