you know what?
being alive is pretty rad

「That's all. What? People are always telling the most ridiculous things over the network, why can't he?

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

「Private: Law」

I'm sorry.

You say that as though being dead is a preferable alternative.

i did not say that
you did

All right. You say that as though being dead is an alternative at all, despite what some people here would have you believe.

again i did not say that
but sure whatever
ive been dead long enough to know that being so is an alternative

[If irritated sighs were audible through text, one would go here. No one has ever said Carlisle was good with texting, but he's not going to argue semantics over someone who purposefully picks fights out of "friendship," or whatever it was he was doing with Miss Rey.

No wait, he is. He totally is because he is that pedantic.]

I'm agreeing with you.

「Wow, Carlisle, he doesn't even remember that, let it go, let it go, turn away and slam the door.」

hmm good?
could have said it from the start

[If there is one thing Carlisle is good at, it's holding a grudge until he dies ~~which won't be long if he doesn't get his act together~~.]

I'm saying it now. Cisth, I'd swear you're being difficult on purpose.

you know what... youre not the first one that says that
sorry

[Oh. He wasn't expecting an apology, and now that he's got it, he's not sure what to say.]

You are not an undead, but you have been dead before, I take it.

「At least one of them seems to be learning from their mistakes.」

im not undead
its a little more complicated than that

Were you revived by this place, as others have been?

nope

「Sorry Carlisle he doesn't know him that well to tell him the story of his life.」

but ill try to avoid that path for as long as it is possible

[Some folks are forthcoming with such info to complete strangers, and some aren't. Atem's answer, though short, gets the point across well enough while sparing the details.]

That is a good attitude to take. Some are far too flippant with their lives, assuming the gods will simply bring them back again and again.

「He may not know Carlisle enough for that, but he does seem to know him enough to figure that what he tells him will not be well received. Yeah, he still remembers his reaction, it was a joke.」

i know

「But this is getting a little weird, he remembers every world that Ravine told him about Carlisle. He wonders if he should just let him know, it doesn't sound fair at all to him that he knows he's dying.」

it seems to bother you

I think they take what charity they are being offered from false gods for granted, and one day, they may find they should have been more careful with what they were given.

i think they are past that point

Past the point of realizing they should have been more careful, or past the point of caring?

[He's pretty sure the answer is both, frankly.]

「Checkmate.」

both

and you carlisle at what point are you?

「Oh, Egyptian Gods...」

I am merely tired of contemplating such foolishness.

is that all you do? watch from afar?

I cannot change the minds of everyone here, lad.

no certainly not... but sometimes it helps to talk about it

「Not that it would have helped in his case but...」

I have tried speaking with certain individuals. It has yet to alleviate my concerns.

what concerns?

It doesn't particularly matter now, does it?

[They didn't listen to him anyway, and he probably shouldn't be discussing this with a near stranger. Sigh.]

I have attempted to make peace with it for the time being.
