[When the feed clicks on, you can see Marta kneeling down to brush the hair out of a--presumably dead--body's face. Anyone who looks close enough might be able to recognize it as Netherlands, but otherwise it just seems like a somewhat odd action. She sighs.]You know, this really isn't the picnic by the seaside you said we could have on my birthday

What's your favorite food?

[Notices Netherlands, but he's getting desensitized, more worried about Japan's reaction to be honest.]

[remnantstrike]

My favorite food? [Man when's the last time she had really awesome food LIVING IN A BROKEN DOWN CITY IS HARD.] Anything fish I guess. I love seafood.

[fierybluebird]

So sushi direct from Japan himself would count?

[remnantstrike]

I guess... [thinking] I don't think I've ever had sushi before. What is it?

[ochitashinigami]

How does anyone die twice?

No, it isn't just you. I'm seeing them too, if it means anything.

[remnantstrike]

How anyone dies twice. [Okay no that was just a bad joke.] Has anyone told you about how the scientists revive you if you die here?

It does, actually. It's a tiny relief, but a relief nonetheless.

[ochitashinigami]

But, if the soul is reaped then how does that happen? No, that can't be right. Are you sure you weren't just injured? [Yes, that's got to be it. Poor shinigami trying to get his head around all of this.]

I'm... new here.

[remnantstrike]

[She's not really sure what he means by souls, but she shakes her head.] No, I definitely... I had to have died. What happened both times wasn't just me getting injured.

Oh, I see now! Well if you'd like, I could try to help explain things here.

[gochuugoku]

What city are you in Marta?

[Going to stay clear from the unpleasant topic for as long as he can.]

[remnantstrike]

Right now I'm in Discedo. I don't think I'll be leaving anytime soon actually.

[Haer'Dalis almost seems to not notice the fact that there are bodies everywhere, and simply gives her a thumbs up.]

Happy Birthday.

[remnantstrike]

Hehe, thanks! It's nice to know that someone out there is wishing me a happy birthday.

[sojournsparrow]

It's nice to know that you actually appreciate it. Have you considered doing anything special for it? Where I come from we often celebrate it with a song or two, and some birthday presents. Sometimes even delicious pastries like cakes!

That's what I would've liked to do, but... [There's hardly anyone left she would want to celebrate with. Selfishness aside though, there's even bigger things at hand.] I doubt anyone would be in the mood to party with all these... bodies around.
