Hello, fellow abductees,

It has come to my attention that a number of you do not like Dr. Sweets. I did not like him either when I first met him, so this is understandable.

In an effort to help strengthen his standing within the community, I am requesting that you please state if you do or do not like Dr. Sweets, and why. Please also respond if you are indifferent on him, as more data will allow me to form a more complete and accurate conclusion.

Thank you for your assistance.

I have stated why I am asking. No, you are not supposed to. I do not expect everyone to know each other, even though this is a small population.

Okay. Just making sure. 'Cause now you've got me curious.

Curious about what?

Curious about your friend. You said that people either love him or hate him, so now I wanna know why.

That is easy enough. He applies psychology to more or less everything and everyone. It can be extremely irritating at first, but he means well and is generally harmless.

Oh. Well, he wouldn't have much fun with me. I'm a slacker, a misanthrope and I don't hide it, and I have serious issues with death. My death, mostly.

Your death? You have died before?

Sure did. Death by flying toilet seat. It was tragic.

It certainly seems that way.

[She would ask for more details if she hadn't just gone through a conversation about death with Sharon. Or rather, an attempt at a conversation about death.]

I'm sorry for your death.

[Well done, Brennan.]

[she wouldn't believe the details or what happened afterwards, anyway]

So am I. I was only eighteen when it happened.

[That's probably true at this point.]

That is far too young. And now you are here, where anyone can die multiple times.

[Brennan no.]

[death by toilet seat, Grim Reapers, yeah that's some weird shit]

You just had to bring that up, didn't you?

I did not have to, but it is relevant.

[The idea of stopping while you're ahead is clearly lost on her.]

Well, I don't plan on dying again. Not ever. Once was plenty.

[that's okay, it's usually foreign to George, too.]

I have not died, but I agree that once is sufficient.

You haven't died? Not even once? Lucky you.

No. i have been close to dying, but my team ans my partner manage to find me in time. If I did die, once is all it would take. It would be irreversible.

Once is usually all it takes on my world, too. Then you get your sparkly lights and onward and upward. In theory.

Were you abducted here before you could experience the "white light" people so often mention?

Nope. I filled someone's quota of souls, so I got stuck with his job.

Clearly this is something unique to your world. There is no empirical evidence to support that being true in mine.

Yeah? But you've never died. It could be true.

What would you need for proof?

And yet I would not be able to prove it.

Data. Not personal accounts, because the brain is capable of producing the equivalent of hallucinations when under extreme stress, such as being close to death. Measurable data. Recordings, communication from "beyond"... things which are not possible to obtain.

[Fun fact, Legit Psychics are a thing in her world, but Brennan doesn't believe them ~~yet~~.]

Data, huh? What if I could tell you that I'm a legit Grim Reaper? That I didn't see my sparkly lights, but had to send a whole bunch of other people to theirs?

And it's more than just me. And that Reapers have specialties?

How would you prove those claims?
