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.]

i dunno 5? death can come at any moment you know

[lonered]

Yeah I know. That's why the scale.

If enough people really expect their alive, what are the chances that that many people got blindsided by death?

But if everyone is dead or expects they're probably dead... that'd be pretty telling too.


[SCIENCE!!!!

He's not the science guy god he wishes Pidge or Hunk were here to help with this. Unless this is hell and then he's really glad they're not.]

Kind of a specific question. Is everything okay on your end...?

As for the question, where I'm from, I couldn't technically die, so I highly doubt something actually happened?? If that helps at all.

[lonered]

Honestly, I'm not sure. That's why I'm asking.

Actually, yeah. That definitely helps.

Uh.

Can I ask... why can't you technically die?

9. I'd remember if I died.
Or I think I would remember--but then again, I'm not entirely sure how I wound up in that well. There's a lot that we don't know that could directly impact if we're alive or dead. If someone was dead first then came here, and someone thinks they're alive and is also here, who's right?

[lonered]

Yeah. The fact that no one can remember how they wound up here is definitely one problem.

But yeah. About that.

I've talked to people who've said both. One guy who said he was dead. One guy who was sure he was alive.

And as for me, I'm not entirely sure.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Glad I could help, in that case!

And, feel free to ask, but I don't actually... remember? I think the wizard gave me my immortality, along with a human body.

Not exactly willing to test and see if that magic still applies in this world, though.

[lonered]

Yeah, no. Don't test that one if you can avoid it.

Though.

Uh.

Human body? Are you not human? What are you? Are you an alien?

10. Even if it were possible, I'm sure I'd be far more open to the outcome than I am presently.

#ED4604

[i_cant_die]

You're not dead.

[lonered]

So you're absolutely certain. What do you mean "if" it were possible?

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

That was the plan!

Alien??? No?

I'm a lion.

[If he properly answers this question, he's not going to have good news for you, friend.

But also the idea of answering it over an open network just like that doesn't settle well with him, so--]

Are you okay now? No injuries or anything?

[lonered]

I'm not so sure that's true.

But that wasn't the question. What about you?

[lonered]

You're a LION?

Like. An actual lion? The animal?



[Sorry. Lions are super significant for Keith so he's zeroed in on this one.]

[lonered]

Me? Yeah, physically I'm fine. Not a scratch.

That's why I'm not entirely sure about the topic I guess.

[crowsigliere]

Absolutely. But I'm afraid that's a secret. Feel free to make your guesses, of course.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

That's me! King of the jungle! Bravest animal of them all!

[ Don't mention that you were once, you know, not brave at all, Caramia. That wouldn't look good, right? ]

I can see why that might be a little hard to believe. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, but it's true!

[messianic]

I see... I guess it's impossible to be sure if you don't know the outcome exactly, but...

I think if there's the possibility you're alive, no matter how small, that's what I'd hold onto.

[May as well live like you're...well, living, right?]

[lonered]

I'm not interested in guessing games. There are enough of those in this stupid place.

But you're saying you're certain. That's something. Thanks.

[lonered]

Maybe so. But if this is some weird afterlife nonsense... that'd change things.

If it's not, even if I am dead, then I will fight like hell to help people get back home where they belong.

[i_cant_die]

I'm not dead either. I doubt anyone is. Trust me, I know.

[lonered]

Honestly after everything I've seen, I'd believe it.

Just. I've kind of got a history with lions, that's all.

[lonered]

I talked to at least one guy who was pretty certain he was.

And as for me, chances are better than not that I am.


[Or if he's not, he will be in a few moments, back home anyway, if he ever gets back.]



Though I hope you're right.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

A... good one, I hope?
