[ The Forge on the nightstand offers view to an Alfons sitting cross-legged on the bed, elbow on his knee and head in his hand. ]

I was initially disinclined to believe that I'd really ended up here. I thought I was caught in some fever dream, or -- [ An elevation of the eyebrows, preemptive surprise at the sound of his own words -- ] -- or that ( Read more... )

Don't get your panties in a bunch if you did; this place is full of dead people.

I'm not dead! [ That hand tightens in his shirt involuntarily, though. ]

Good! You're already doing better than the ginger kid.

I... don't know what you mean. I'm sorry. [ A pause, pursed lips, and then -- ] May I ask you a question?

Well.... I wouldn't say it's really most. But it does happen from time to time.

I guess I wouldn't say it's rare, either.

But you're not dead. Even if you were dead before you came here.

People who are dead come back to life here?

VIDEO. yetsleeping March 27 2011, 22:40:36 UTC

Yes. ...it's a little, weird, isn't it? Sometimes people come here after they've already died on their world.

And then sometimes people die here and come back.

I'd like to say you get used to it, but to be honest with you, I'm not sure that's the kind of thing anyone really can get used to.

... That's fascinating. Hard to believe, I admit, but -- well, I'm here, so there's only so much I can deny.

[ A moment of silence before a ripple of worry moves his expression. ]

The -- ah, people who have died, whether before arriving or during their stay -- do they retain their memories from before they died? Or, hmm -- those who have died and are alive again upon arrival, do they in particular have more trouble remembering how they got here?

I believe the majority of people find their way here with no inclination to be here and no memory of how they got here.

VIDEO. raketen March 28 2011, 03:06:08 UTC

Peculiar. And do people get out often?

fingersloophole March 28 2011, 03:40:02 UTC

People disappear all the time. I'm unsure if that means they "get out" as you put it.

VIDEO. raketen March 28 2011, 19:32:07 UTC

... Huh. So there's no knowledge of where they go once they're gone? They don't necessarily return to their home world?
