I think if they truly wanted anything the castle would make sure to do the opposite.

[queendramabitch]

You're right, I think. Unless it would serve the castle somehow.

[lone_defender]

Dunno what it'd do to kill one instead of sending them away, though.

[queendramabitch]

The castle wouldn't have to do it. Residents murder each other all the time.

[haruno]

I don't know. It depends what the castle gets from us being here. Why we're here at all. If it's linked to us being alive, something related to that, then probably not.

But I can't say there might not be ways, just that I don't know any, and most the dead are resurrected.

[queendramabitch]

I think if the castle had something to gain from a real death, then perhaps it would allow it?

[haruno]

Maybe. What's the gain? Nothing to the dead, not from what I understand, but maybe... to the living?

Would the castle get anything from the rest of us, kill someone for that?

Suppose the castle needs our energy. True death could give off energy, for a little while. Or the emotions of people who react to that death. The castle might like it.

Should we be worried about the morbid aspect of this?

[queendramabitch]

If you want to be.

[loisfuckinglane]

What's going on?

[queendramabitch]

I'm just curious.
