[She thinks for a few seconds before she answers him.] To be completely honest... I believe of this place as a second chance at life, to do what I couldn't do before. If the Castle decides to return me to being dead, then it can. But I'll be remembered by people here and not forgotten. I'll have done something. Maybe it's not important in the long run, but I'll know about it.

forever~

[hipstertastic]

yeah wwhale its a pretty fuckin shitty hypothetical afterlife
im pretty uncomfortable wwalkin around conscious evveryday knowwin one moment i might suddenly fuckin
wwhale
not be
plus wwhy the fuck is it bringin us somewwhere wwe can actually meet people wwe like only to take us awway from them
its fuckin ridiculous
i dont see a fuckin point in doin anythin here it seems like one giant fuckin exercise in futility
besides wwhich wwhat makes you think theyll evven remember you
they could just movve the fuck on immediately
glub

[heal_theworld]

I don't think like that. Expecting the worst in people never gets you anywhere in life. It just makes you distrustful of everyone. I always expect the best of people, and hope they expect the best of me.

And only you can decide whether what you do is futile or not. I, for one, don't think what I do here is futile, even if I cease to exist tomorrow.

[hipstertastic]

wwhale back wwhere im from the notion that anyones truly trustwworthy is nonsensical
so i think ill stick wwith wwhat i knoww
cause quite frankly you havve absolutely no wway a knowwin howw they reely are
wwhich in turn means theres no wway you knoww howw theyll act once it happens
wwhat are you goin by after all their wword
yeah thats undeniable proof right there

[entailing]

Nothing is wrong? Look, I don't know who you got that impression from, but I'm sure I know how messed up this is.

[read: don't invalidate me and my angst]

It's not as if I wanted to end up here.

[hipstertastic]

dont get me fuckin started okay i knoww
thats realistic thinkin right there acknowwledgin that this is vvery fucked up an the idea youre fine one minute a motionless corpse the next is terrifyin
but there are people here wwho act as if its no big deal
wwhich is exactly wwhat i havve a problem wwith

[entailing]

H -- [she was going to say "humanity," but sensibly stops herself] People can be dumb. Dying doesn't change the fact.

[besides, she already was a motionless corpse before her actual death; that's a lot worse in her opinion]

[hipstertastic]

[Eridan was a complete jerk before his actual death...

...so nothing's changed really.]

dont evven get me started on howw fuckin dumb people are here
ivve seen an experienced it first hand
its like stupidity is some kinda fuckin disease around here wwhich clearly has spread like wwildfire

[ambuscades]

[written, in a nondescript style not like her usual:]

• Because our (after)lives here are an improvement over what we had before.
• Because we've met people from our future telling us we aren't as dead as we expected.
• Or simply because we don't care.

Take your pick. There's probably more, I'll have to turn back more pages to find them.

[hipstertastic]

evven if its better its still only temporary its just a fleetin moment a oh hey evverythin is fin fuckin tastic then all of a sudden it could not be
its fuckin ridiculous that people dont care i dont get howw they cant
wwhat solace is there in anythin so fuckin fickle
an if youre one a those people wwho isnt as 'dead as you expected' wwhatevver the fuck that evven means cause such a thing is impossible wwhy did you bother sayin anythin clearly you wwouldnt get it then cause you have that assurance
glub

[ambuscades]

[a pause, it might be good that Eridan can't see the cross between a grimace and bitter smile on her face right now]

Fleeting the time spent here may be, not doing anything is putting it to waste. For example, if the person who caused my death showed up, I would want to be appropriately prepared. [or...not really, that situation is exceedingly complicated and she's not interested in elaborating on why]

As for not caring, it happens. I can't say I know for certain the reasons behind it.

The last one, well, maybe you should look at what you just wrote and consider that we're corresponding over a supposedly magical book in a "magical" land away from our own. [also, she is living (?) proof, but again -- not saying that]

[hipstertastic]

[He *was* going to say a whole load of nonsense in regards to what she'd said about making the most of your time, but hell if he doesn't lose all of that once she mentions 'magic'...]

no wwe are not
this entire fuckin situation is not magic drivven okay that is fuckin nonsense
magic isnt reel
this is clearly either a spacial anomaly or some kinda vvery complex scientific ploy goin on
but ill be damned if im gonna listen to all that fakey fake bullshit stuff on again about pixie dust an unicorns

[ofthefaintsmile]

I've been here for over three years. It would be a shame if I were to waste all that extra time worrying.

[hipstertastic]

an yet in one sudden moment evverythin youvve done could suddenly mean nothin
does that reely not fuckin bother you

[ofthefaintsmile]

Of course, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Are you really that scared?

[hipstertastic]

hey hold on a fuckin second here wwho said i wwas scared
im not fuckin scared okay im just askin a simple question
dont start jumpin to conclusions here

[ar0se]

[after having died which time? LOLOLOL...]

haha what?
deaths not so bad eridan
trust me im sure youll enjoy it when you get there

[in which aradia is morbid and unhelpful]

[hipstertastic]

oh come on wwhy the fuck can you sea this did the filter thing not wwork or somethin
clearly you are exempt from this discussion cause last time i checked an i mean back at the vveil not here you wwere clearly not dead

[Because ghosts aren't real and he will never believe otherwise.]

[ar0se]

...
i appeared here after having died like three times
theres no stipulation in your filter about remaining dead its not my fault if you werent specific enough

[hipstertastic]

howw the fuck wwere you dead if you wwere there
that makes no sense ara
