No, he's not high, though, he should be.」

[Yukari's eyebrows shoot up a bit. Slightly peculiar of a message, though not entirely out of character perhaps for the Pharaoh. Still, perhaps he should check in.]

Being alive is well and good, yes.

[A beat.]

Don't tell me that you died, Atem-sama.

[Yukari's expression tries to remain light and understanding, but anyone with a trained eye will notice there's now an intensity to it, resembling the mercenary that seeks blood within. Who does he have to kill?]

「Aha! Nope, he's not gonna be using the video feature, unless necessary, he looks like crap.

Oops, he recognizes that stare.」

[fracturedbeauty]

[He looks mildly skeptical.]

Oh? Then did something happen?

[Prodding is a thing. Yukari just wants to be sure Atem is okay.]

[am_i_a_monster]

Yes, it is.
Did you die and come back?
Did someone kill you?

text

[puzzlingly]

[am_i_a_monster]

Are you okay?
No monsters killed you either?

[circumitus]

[Well, since other people have covered asking the "did you die?" part...]

yes, most people usually prefer being alive than dead.
tho taking your life doesn't sound like the shit fear would do, so im going to assume there was more to it than that.

[puzzlingly]

you assume right ;)

「This little shit.」

[she has no idea what "rad" means, but she can guess its meaning in context]

It's far preferable to being dead.

[puzzlingly]

「Rad is rad, Margaery, pls!」

better than drifting alone without being able to feel a thing? yep it is

text

[murderpotato]

text

[puzzlingly]

[dragonsgrasp]

I guess it's all right. Though... being dead isn't so terrible in itself.

It's the dying or returning to life parts that I'm not fond of.

[puzzlingly]

you do remember how it felt?
being dead among the living wasnt particularly enjoyable
it was too much of a reminder
