How does- how do people cope here? How do you survive, if... if you or anyone you know can turn into something they're not? I've been trying not to think about it, but....

...

It's another week soon enough, isn't it? Someway we'll all get through it, right?

We cope because we don't have a lot of choice.

heraldry_sword October 6 2011, 21:21:42 UTC

That's not a good enough reason.

kyasdaughter October 6 2011, 21:22:22 UTC

Then you cope by finding people to care about. To depend on.

[Almost is about to argue, before just sighing.]

Yes... yes, you're right, of course. There's no point in being cynical about it, is there?

Had problems last week, huh?

...Guess you get through it the same way you get through anything else, boss. Enjoy the moment.

heraldry_sword October 6 2011, 21:22:31 UTC

I think a lot of people did.

...But people die. I don't want to enjoy that sort of moment.

greatcuppajoe October 6 2011, 21:28:36 UTC

Sounds like you're right. Managed ta get here just in time to miss it, myself.

Yeah, people die... every last one of 'em, sooner or later. It's never easy, but it's a part of life, too. [He's silent for a moment, giving the truism the space it needs.] Nothing wrong with fightin' to stop it from happenin', but you've gotta accept it when it does. Let it break ya, and you won't be doin' any good for anyone.

That's pretty lucky. I heard they're not all so bad, but-

Dying might be part of life, but this- no one even stays dead here! The spirits just change everyone, everything that we are, like it's some kind of game. Even if they bring back everyone who's killed- it's us that have to live with consequences we can't control!

From the sounds of things, mostly because suicide is ineffective.

heraldry_sword October 6 2011, 23:41:22 UTC

...I really don't want to think about having to fall back on that.

mister_hatter October 6 2011, 23:53:17 UTC

It's pointless. You'd just bounce back to life!

heraldry_sword October 7 2011, 08:56:05 UTC

That doesn't make it any better!

Don't let it get you down.

[Voice] heraldry_sword October 7 2011, 08:56:41 UTC

That's easy to say.

[Voice] reflectivedawn October 7 2011, 02:22:03 UTC

You have to learn that for yourself.

[Voice] heraldry_sword October 7 2011, 08:57:20 UTC

That's what someone says when they don't know the answer either, isn't it?

[Voice] reflectivedawn October 8 2011, 05:55:46 UTC

No. That's what they say when their answer doesn't work for everyone.

You have to find your own.
