USER: #DC143C - QUESTION FOR EVERYONE

[lonered]

[ USER: #DC143C ]

Hey. So...

...

Question for anyone. Or for everyone I guess.

How sure are you that you're still alive? Back where you're from I mean.

Like on a scale from 1 to 10. Where 1 is "I definitely died" and 10 is "I'm definitely still alive" and everything in between.

Thanks in advance. I know it's a weird question. I just... I gotta know.



[He's asked some folks, but the results so far are mixed. And Keith needs to figure out one way or another if this is just some weird unexpected afterlife, and he's at a solid 2.5 on his own scale so he's wondering.]

How long is incredibly long?

And worried isn't the right word. Just not sure. And I'd rather be certain, as much as I can.

[hypertoxic]

I don't know that if I could give you an accur8 figure. It's not like I was really a8le to tell time.
That's understanda8le. What's the last thing you remem8er happening?

[lonered]

Fair enough, yeah. I guess I didn't think about that.

But well. It was the middle of a battle. In space. My fighter was on a collision course with a battle cruiser.

[hypertoxic]

Don't worry a8out it.
That's rough. I'm sorry. Do you want to talk a8out it? Given that I'm pretty sure I'm the only dead person here, I can at least give you my perspective.

[lonered]

Thanks. That's real nice to offer.

I don't think there's much to talk about. I already made my choice, so it's fine. I just wanted to know whether or not this messed up place is some kind of afterlife or not.
It's sounding like it definitely isn't.

[hypertoxic]

Oh. Uh. You're welcome, I guess.
Yeah, it's definitely not. Actually, coming here kind of pulled me OUT of the afterlife. It's 8een pretty surreal.

[lonered]

Better that it isn't. Then I don't have to feel guilty about ruining someone's eternal rest or anything while trying to get out of this place.

Yeah it sounds like it would be though. You okay?

[hypertoxic]

Lol. The only thing that's here is endless 8ullshit, far as the eye can see!
.... yes, I am fine. Thank you, though. For asking. To 8e honest, as surreal as it is, I am kind of glad to 8e around the living again.

[lonered]

That's a fact. Total bullshit.

I mean that makes sense I think. I don't know. I mean, I'm pretty fond of being alive, as things go.

[hypertoxic]

Haha. Yeah, I get what you mean. It is pretty cool! I mean, I'm still dead, 8ut 8eing here is giving me all the perks of 8eing alive. So even if this place is 8oring and shitty, at least there's that.

[lonered]

At least there's that. I guess even if it's not the afterlife, it's kind of a chance for some people.

Even if it's still a cage. A crappy, creepy cage.
