This has got to be some fucked up purgatory, right? [ He rolls his eyes before anyone can show him the guide. He's read it. Thoroughly. And it all sounds like a round of bullshit. But who can call bullshit when you've got a death god on your side, right? Not that Ryuk is here. He clutches a dark, worn notebook to his chest, only the back visible. ]

I mean, I've seen some really fucked up shit, all right? The kind that won't go away or disappear when it's all over. [ He's speaking a little faster now, nervous. ]

Fuck.

I'm in an underground cave that pulls chaotic creatures in through some fucked up Door. [ He shakes his as he laughs in disbelief. ] It's gotta be the fucking morphine.

Also, were those fucking velociraptors?  I have to be fucking dead.

[puzzlingly]

「Chill, you're gonna hurt yourself, buddy.」

Do you remember dying?

[avvakir]

[ The Ferris wheel. Mia. How badly it hurt to hit the water. His back and lungs and face ache like he'd never felt before. ]

I was in a coma. [ He'd woken up, of course, but that isn't a detail Light feels like disclosing. ]

[trashmouths]

Join the club, lines back there. [ It's a proverbial line, which--whatever. That was a terrible metaphor. Is it even a metaphor? 'Phrase?' Enh. This kid looks just about Bowers' age, has a mouth on him, but doesn't seem to be antagonistic, just angry and confused. ]

Hey--why were you on morphine? Did you die? Are you dying? Do you have cancer?

[avvakir]

[ Light's never been one to turn away someone curious but he, of course, omits a few details from the story. His expression tightens. All he wanted to do was change the world and, instead... ]

The Ferris wheel I was on collapsed. We—my girlfriend and I—were at the top. [ It was like it happened yesterday but it didn't. Thinking back on Mia makes his heartache but, then again, she was the fool who thought she could outwit him. ]

I hit the water, hard. My girlfriend [ He frowns. They would have saved the world together. He lets a note of sorrow touch his voice. ] hit the ground. I was... I was found by some fisherman who took me to the hospital. I'd been in a coma.

[Wooooow, drama queen.]

To be fair, probs like fifty percent of us actually are dead, so there's a good chance you are.

[avvakir]

[ He's got a reason to be dramatic. His whole life is one big drama with a lovely amount of murder on his part. ]

—Wait, what? [ He can't kill dead people but he'll be combing through the (insane) list of rules the Note follows. He wrinkles his nose. ]

Are you dead or are you just fucking with me?

happy deathday

[avvakir]

Thanks. The stars really give it an extra oomph.

[ He's going to need a good pen in this shithole, isn't he? ]

[thelastjoy]

Rest of us ain't drugged up, so it ain't morphine messin' with your eyes. You could always wait and dry out if you don't believe that. [She sighs.] The dead part? Maybe. But if this is the after party they had planned for the dead, it's kind of a fucked up one.

Voice;

[avvakir]

The dead don't get an after party depending on your religious views. [ He's not sure what he believes. After his mother's murder, all his faith faded away, twisting into an angry need for justice.

Justice for all. ]

But, yeah, if this is our afterlife, it's fucked up for sure.

[multivitamins]

I wish it was morphine but morphine doesn't make people hallucinate it just numbs you up.

[ On that thought, morphine is probably something the clinic could do with...]

What kind of fucked up shit have you seen?

video;

[avvakir]

Yeah, I know, but hope and all that shit. [ Plus, he's not sure what other drugs they'd injected into him. The nurses were nice but all he could think about is getting out of the hospital to keep Kira alive, to keep the world safe. What's his world to do without him? Resort back to the fucking insanity it was: where men and women would torture and rape and kill for whatever reason.

At the question, he swallows, noting the soreness in his throat. He's not sure how to answer the question. ]

I met a... a monster. [ He's not about to chit-chat about Ryuk like he really knows the pushy god. A frown touches his lips, brows drawn downward. ] The kind of monster others don't see, can't see. The kind of monster whose laughter gets stuck in your head on some fucked up repeat.

UR BEING PUNISHE BY JESIS
REPENT NOW FOR UR TERRIBLE SINS

[avvakir]

Is Jesis Jesus of Nazarath's long lost cousin? [ Because he laughed so hard when he saw that that his chest hurts more than it had minutes ago. ]

There isn't death here with Hope around. Not yet.

[avvakir]

I've read that people are brought back from death but not that it doesn't exist. This place must be missing a god of death.

[ There's no harm in a little reference, right? ]

[eyeofthetiger]

[ Dean can't help but laugh ]

I know exactly what you mean. I had almost the same thought when I got here and nearly got skewered by a gigantic grenade lobbing, gun toting, armored lobster. I'm actually surprised you made it out of the Colosseum if there were raptors.

[ because anyone who's seen Jurassic Park knows the only way to actually survive a raptor attack is hope there's a T-Rex just around the corner waiting to save your ass. ]

[avvakir]

That's more fucked than velociraptors and you're surprised I made it out. [ He really can't tell if Dean is joking about the lobster creatures or not, but, judging from everything he's read, it wouldn't surprise him. ]

Raptors are fast but they're not big. All it takes is a good couple hits from an IV stand to get them to hunt for easier prey.

[paragonbrosca]

...did everyone else die to get here except me?

What's morphine?

threadjacks, hi

[outofthefire]

I don't know for sure, but it's a pretty safe bet.

And morphine is a kind of medicine. It can really fuck with your mind.

[avvakir]

It's just a highly addictive drug that's used to help deal with pain. It lasts only a couple hours but in my world it's abused by drug addicts, usually thanks to doctors over-prescribing it. The addicts that don't dry up usually die when they start going for something that'll get them a little higher and a little higher. [ He sighs. He's never been good with anything that slows the thoughts in his head. He hates weed, alcohol, and any drug that messes with his thought process. ]

I can already tell I'm coming down but I wasn't on it for long, so I doubt I'll have to deal with withdrawal.

[outofthefire]

You could be dead. Pinch yourself to see if it hurts.

Video

[avvakir]

That's what you think I should do? Pinch myself? [ He smiles and hides any annoyance he may feel. Pinch himself. Hah. ]

I've never understood why people think the dead can't feel.

[Audio]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Well. You could be dead. A lot of the people here are. Technically. But its not a general rule.

[Audio]

[avvakir]

It's not like death is a permanent factor so life and death have no real meaning. [ which is so uncool. How is he gonna get the ladiez with a notebook that... is useless, for the most part. ]
