FIFTH SONG ♫ TEXT

[hasitsthorns]

Finally bit the dust.
Guess it was only a matter of time. Kind of impressed I lasted as long as I did without getting offed.

Show of hands, who else has died in this place?
Does it always suck a metric fuckton or is that just me?

[toiletseat_girl]

Dying always sucks. No matter how it happens or why, it sucks balls.

[hasitsthorns]

Yeah.
I'm inclined to agree.
But thanks for the second opinion. Guess you've died before?

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeah. Not very long ago, actually. How 'bout you?

[torrefied]

Oh, so you are capable of asking intelligent questions.

[And, as something of a peace offering on the heels of his acerbic commentary, he switches to a private channel and gives his actual answer.]

Twice. But it's fine. [This is a goddamn lie.]
What doesn't kill you - permanently - makes you stronger.

private.

[hasitsthorns]

On rare occasions. I've met my yearly quota now though so don't expect anything smart again for a while.

What if it doesn't?

private.

[torrefied]

Failure to adapt means failure to survive. Do you not wish to survive?

[Hoo boy, you just hit on Jason's favorite topic - his death.]

not here

but yeah it was definitely no picnic thats for sure

text

[hasitsthorns]

[ Hooraayyyy... ]

You died before Hadriel?
How'd you come back?

[ What is sensitivity. ]

text

[fulminatory]

yep

got nice and murdered when i was a kid

mystical fountain of youth type thing called a lazarus pit brought me back

i didnt really have any say in it on account of being

you know

dead

[castintofire]

This marks my second death here. But, the least painful than the previous.

[hasitsthorns]

I'm glad it wasn't as painful.
But I'm sorry it had to happen at all.

[castintofire]

As am I. Death adds more complication than is strictly necessary here.

Everyone dies one day. You'll kill someone, someone else will kill you, and then we all get on with our lives because we have nothing else but life and emotional turmoil to give to our parasitic overlords.

text

[hasitsthorns]

Already had both happen in Haven, actually.
This time was different.
Maybe that's why it sucks worse than those times did.

[ Why it makes her feel so hollow and bitter; it was a shattered promise. She'd tried to keep it, she had, but the weight of Haven on her shoulders coupled with Hadriel's emotional turmoil - as Sharon puts it - was too great to bear. ]

[unitas]

What makes it so different? Death is death. The knowledge of coming back from it is so much worse than the dying part.

[ aka: there are times I'd much rather be dead ]

[nothingleft]

Dying here seems to be a milestone for many. Congratulations.

But yes, I suppose it does "suck". Both for those who die and those who live.

[Two for the price of one or so Chara thinks.]

text

[hasitsthorns]

Thanks.

Well, I guess it sucks less for the living here since we DO come back, but...
They still gotta' go through losing us in the first place. Hm.

text

[nothingleft]

I believe it is something others call a 'cycle'.

A conundrum for those who do not wish to harm their loved ones, yet death is unavoidable.

But I suppose those like Sorrow and Fear "get their money's worth" from the emotions these provoke.

[sciencelizard]

[She... doesn't want the person who killed her to accidentally see this, seeing as they technically made up, but...]

i have
not this event it was a few months ago
it was

it wasnt as relaxing as i wanted it to be

[text - private] cw: suicide

[hasitsthorns]

It really isn't, huh?

I died a couple times before Hadriel.
Had my skull crushed once.
Then was shotgunned in the chest.

This time though was...
I did it to myself. Thought that might make it less awful, somehow, but it didn't.

[text - private] tbh slap a suicide warn on this whole thread I don't anticipate it getting Better

[sciencelizard]

[... Oh. Maybe she knows more about this than she thought.]

oh
im sorry
i mean that it didnt help but i

i know the feeling
not here but
i... i get it

[closerift]

I was killed as a kindness after becoming a literal monster.
My memory of it is spotty, but I can say with confidence that it "sucked a metric fuckton."

text;

[hasitsthorns]

Yeah. Sorry about that. Sounds rough.

[ That part about becoming a 'literal monster' strikes her in all the wrong ways. Part of why she'd died was... Well, not like she's going to say all that. ]

Did dying cure you of your monsterdom?
