So, immortality. Tell me what you know about it and everything else worthwhile-- how to get it, for what price, if there even is a price, what side-effects there may be in getting it, what side-effects there may be in keeping it-- everything. And I already know it's gotta be possible, so don't try to tell me it isn't

The ship, or the Captain, or something lessens a lot of people's powers.

[alittlegreedy]

To what extent usually and why?

[ntjstapwn]

I'm not sure about either, but I know that a lot of people are less powerful than they were back home. I imagine the Captain did it to make them less dangerous, or perhaps put everyone on a more even playing field, but I can't even begin to comprehend why he does anything.

[alittlegreedy]

[Well, damn.]

Point taken. Thanks for the info, anyway.

[standardpackage]

Oh yah, don't I. I got one drawn up fer ya' but somma I is in my language so, shit, I don't know. It's ta' scale an' has good enough symbols so ya' may not need 'em.

An', yah. Th' ship drains 'er completely takes away any superhuman powers.

[alittlegreedy]

Yeah, that bites.

S'fine, I'll manage. When can you gimme it?

[standardpackage]

Now's good. Yer room er somewhere else?

[alittlegreedy]

My room. Deck 07, room 6436.

I can only offer you advice about vampirism, with the obvious side-effect of having to drink blood in order to say alive. Other than that, immortality as a whole can be a horrible burden if you do not adapt fast enough to the changes of society.

[alittlegreedy]

That's not true immortality then, if it's needed to stay alive.

Re: [ audio ]

[dead_ladykiller]

It's immortality in the sense that you do not age nor are able to die by any other means.

[ audio ]

[alittlegreedy]

I guess, if you put it that way. I don't need that though.

[notwhatiwas]

...Why are you even interested?

[Seriously, dude, not dying is NOT all it's cracked up to be.]

[alittlegreedy]

Heh, and here I thought I made it pretty obvious.

It'd be nice to have, is all.

[notwhatiwas]

No. It wouldn't.

[Flat tone is flat.]

[alittlegreedy]

Sure it would be. Time is of the essence, after all.

[rdmcatpaw]

I guess you're not asking for the army known as the Immortals.

[alittlegreedy]

Probably not. But tell me what, how, and why they're called that anyway?

[rdmcatpaw]

They're Blue Mages that work for the Empire of Aht Urghan. I don't know the exact details aside from being experimented on so they can learn skills of their enemies as magic. If they loose control, they become monsters. Its as simple as that.

[alittlegreedy]

[Nghh.] Why would they call them that if they're not immortal?
