The end of life.

shesagift January 20 2009, 15:12:14 UTC

I suppose the question then becomes, what is life?

thiefshonor January 20 2009, 15:52:46 UTC

Do ya normally ponder this kinda stuff over breakfast, River?

A release from pain.

shesagift January 20 2009, 19:48:45 UTC

There are those that believe in a painful afterlife.

ttlynotawizard January 20 2009, 20:05:41 UTC

I don't.

shesagift January 21 2009, 00:36:35 UTC

Now isn't that a question to ponder on over drinks.

What is death?

I've been asked that one before. I just can't remember what I said last time.

shesagift January 20 2009, 19:50:35 UTC

I'll need a drink to do that.

You probably said, "I've been asked that one before. I just can't remember what I said last time."

I could hook you up, if you join me at the bar. I make a wicked Grasshopper.

shesagift January 21 2009, 08:06:01 UTC

Are you hitting on me?

talkback_stein January 20 2009, 19:05:15 UTC

Death is something you never actually come back from.

shesagift January 20 2009, 19:51:03 UTC

Then by that assumption, we are immortal aboard this vessel?

teethofneedles January 21 2009, 00:47:34 UTC

Says you.

not_a_rock January 20 2009, 21:36:11 UTC

Death is when the gods call us to out final rest. Or judgment...

shesagift January 21 2009, 00:36:04 UTC

What are we judged upon, Ki?

not_a_rock January 21 2009, 19:23:45 UTC

On being a good person. Were you generous and kind, or selfish and cruel? Did you cling to hatred or forgive imagined slights? Were you hospitable to strangers or turn away those in need?

I do not know if all gods judge the same way, but this is how lives are measured in Babilym.

shesagift January 22 2009, 02:01:54 UTC

hatred
