Do you believe in an afterlife?

Do you not think, perhaps, my job, my function, my entire existence would be rather pointless if I didn't

But is there only ONE afterlife? I mean, I know you. And I know Baphomet. And I know that when I die? I will spend my time in Baphomet's presence, until he sends me back to Earth.

Heaven is perfect, so it makes sense there's more than one intepretation of it, doesn't it? There's only one actual Heaven, though... it's like saying: Is there only one species of man? There's humanity, but look at the gender, colour, historical period...

And you really don't want to know how many deceased people up there I've spoken with...

"More than I can count in my lifetime, I'm betting," said Mister Smith with a wry smile. "Seeing as I was one of them. Well, for a little while. But even if I hadn't seen it? The Light? I'd still know it was there. Have, ever since I heard God's Voice. Your voice. It kinda changed everything I'd ever believed in. Thanks for that, by the way. It's nice to have hope again."

Grinning slightly, "It's what I do. Pleasure to be of service to someone who appreciates it for once."

"Oh, I think a lot of people appreciate it," said Smith, believing this to be true. "Most of them just don't get the chance to tell the Voice thank you in person!"

"And then a lot of them complain," he says with a wink.

You speak with humans who die and that would be all of them. Do you speak with dead unicorns as well? I know that some of us have died -- have had life taken from us, rather, since death is something we would never know otherwise.

[OOC: I really don't know your fandom to tell you what they would say! Eep.]

I have seen them, but I'm afraid I've rarely spoken much. Is there a specific reason you ask?

(OOC: No worries! I really have no clue as to what a dead unicorn would say myself. But I don't think she's after direct quotes, so much as a general idea of what it's like for one of her kind to die. Answering the latest challenge seems to have thrown her into something of a morbid mind-frame!)

*muses for a few moments* I suppose I am only curious about what death was truly like for those who have passed. And in that, I am no different from any mortal who ever lived.

No, you're not. I've heard no - real - complaints, if that's reassuring.
