1st Con [Audio]

[The feed started with guitar going through the first few bars. After the briefest of pauses, a voice comes through with a man singing a country ballad with the kind of emotion that ties it together. Until towards the end...]

When you find your way to another town, and someone tries to lay you down and a feeling hits you right out of the blue...

-=Another caterwauler.=-

Depends on who you want to report.

[verydistinct]

[That towards the singing or him being growly, though?]

Seems none of them are here, unfortunately. Or fortunate, considering the circumstances.

[saintedsinner]

-=Singing. Ed has... issues.=-

Probably fortunate, unless they're dead. Adstring isn't really a vacation resort.

[verydistinct]

[... I'm not touching that one with a 2 meter pole. xD]

I've come to realize that pretty quickly. So this place actually brings the dead here, too?

[saintedsinner]

Yeah. I know of at least one person who was dead in their world show up here alive and well.

[verydistinct]

Huh. This place is really something. Guess it'd be pointless to bring someone here when they ain't alive.

[And if he weren't under the guise of some country artist, he'd be trying to get more information.]

[saintedsinner]

Not necessarily. Shock value. Torture. Entertainment. -=He's been here long enough to know the Animus like having playthings.=-

[verydistinct]

The things that bring us here like doing that often, using corpses for such reasons?

[Why yes, he does sound apprehensive, worried, and maybe something else.]

[saintedsinner]

Well, for one they're not corpses. They're alive and breathing like the rest of us.

[verydistinct]

I think we got a bit of a miscommunication thing here. When I said it'd be pointless to bring people here when they ain't alive, I meant bringing them here while still corpses.

[Making the reasons why they would sound weirder than what Ed intended.]

[saintedsinner]

Oh. Well, considering there's no permanent death here, it would be pointless.

[verydistinct]

[He's doing his best to look really confused here.]

Huh... So what, people just get better after dying 'round here?

[saintedsinner]

Yeah, but they usually lose something in the process. A limb, a memory.... Usually it's not good.

[verydistinct]

Basically like a price for having to come back to life.

[saintedsinner]

There's a price for everything.

[verydistinct]

[Something Eliot knows very well, but Kenneth seems to be considering before giving a solitary nod.]

Yeah, I can see that as a solid principle.
