How many of you have died here?

How did you deal with it?

Asking for a friend.

[pellameno]

Specifically here?

[sedula]

I guess anywhere ... people just don't usually come back from the dead where I'm from, so I've only seen it happen here.

[sedula]

OK. It's hypothetical. :)

[It's totally not. :c]

[Suuuper helpful.]

Thanks, I'll get right on that. #sarcasm

Drink. [ :c ]

text

[sedula]

I don't think that's going to work for me. But thank you anyway.

text

[casperdisaster]

I'm dead back home so I don't think mine counts here.

text

[sedula]

Sure it does. I'm sorry to hear it, though. Is that normal, where you're from? Dying and coming back?

[thechoiceisyours]

What's this 'dealing' thing you speak of?

[But jokes aside--]

I can't say I have any great advice, but if you want to talk I'm around.

[Maybe not at the house at the moment, but he'll visit or meet her somewhere or whatever is best for her.]

[sedula]

Har dee har.

[None of them are dealing, but Sam feels somehow obligated to do a better job of actually pulling herself together instead of just pretending to do so, at least make an attempt at it. Thus the post.]

Thanks, Chris. I appreciate it. You've been here the longest out of us, right?

[dedikated]

Stay busy.

( text | private )

[sedula]

That's a good suggestion. Got any ideas about what to stay busy with? Back home, I have classes and stuff.

[wormintheglass]

Just the once. Hope brought me back. There was no dealing. I for one greatly appreciate that the gods are able and willing to protect us in this way.

[sedula]

Yeah ... me too. The once, and Hope bringing me back. It's ... it's kind of weird, though.

[circumitus]

died many times before coming here. have yet to experience one of hope's resurrections to say if there is a difference.

[She doubts it. Death is death, as far as Rey is concerned.]

didn't exactly have a healthy method of coping before, tho.

[sedula]

Jeez ... is that typical, where you're from? Dying and being brought back? It's not where I'm from.

[avephoenix]

You all right, Sam? [Faith's voice is soft and kind.] Need someone to talk to?

voice - private

[sedula]

Hey Faith. [You can probably hear the tired smile in Sam's voice.] I'm ... I'm working on it, I guess. Um, are you OK?

[Emily spends a good five minutes debating whether or not to send Sam a text (i'm sorry, she'd say, like she hasn't already said that to her). Ultimately, she doesn't. She settles for something else.]

want to go for a walk?

private text

[sedula]

[... Come to think of it, a walk would probably do Sam some good.]

Sure. Where should I meet you?

text

[skelebro]

can't say i have, sorry.
you ain't the best at bein' subtle, are ya?

text

[sedula]

Yeah, I guess no ever really believes that "asking for a friend" thing, do they?

[text]

[mismanagement]

Too many.

[Herself included.]

You carry on.

[text]

[sedula]

Yeah. I mean, you sorta have to. I guess I just don't know how, is the thing. It's not really the sort of thing that anyone expects to happen.

[64th]

Once at home. Once here.
I didn't handle it.

[sedula]

I'm sorry.

What did you do instead?

[edibles]

( .... okay honesty time why not everyone else has had it )

With coffee.

[sedula]

Coffee does help a lot of things. Except getting to sleep. ;)

[knifecollecting]

Why deal with it?

[sedula]

Because I can't ignore it anymore.

[somuchlove]

I have died once here.

Took time off from others, so to speak.

[It didn't help much.]

text

[sedula]

Yeah, I think a lot of my friends are doing that right now.

[The house is a lot more empty than it used to be, and Sam finds it unsettling.]

I'm sorry you went through that.

[dragoon_pride]

[Well, if this isn't a timely topic...]

Before my arrival here, I died. I'm still not convinced this isn't some horrible afterlife for that reason.

[It takes him longer to get to the next part, because it's still too... fresh in mind. Still hard to believe.]

And... I've just returned from death here.

[beanstalk]

Get over it. [ Helpful, Kanda. Totally helpful. ]

[sedula]

Golly, I never once considered that. Thanks ever so much.

[meatbrained]

Shit.

She got you, too, Sam?

( see, Matt, this is why you don't go hiding in random flats, you miss out on the news.

he's also got nothing for the answer to that question. )

( text | private )

[sedula]

Yeah.

Surprise?

[Worst surprise ever.]

I'm not mad about it or anything.
