[ kicking his feet up, Magato draws the device close to his face, idling picking at the edge of it with one of his knives. to be quite honest? he's bored. after all, not much to do when you're expected to carry out some sort of galactic savior run and there's no one worth saving. so he's flipping through the network with a yawn, taking in as

[have some sunshine and bubbles and sugary optimism and all that good shit!!!!! magato seems like the kind of guy who could appreciate some borderline delusional optimism. just kidding, N is unusually pragmatic about such dealings; his religion is pokémon (almost literally) and he knows better than anyone that they can do whatever the fuck they damn well please with their lives and souls. humans though... humans are surprisingly powerless creatures.]

I would caution one against taking advantage of the fact the gods here want us alive since they have proven themselves to be fickle at times. Life is such a precious thing, I feel as though an afterlife would cheapen it somewhat... If nothingness awaits after death, that would be fine with me.

Yeah, yeah, fear of gods-- all that nice stuff. The fact of the matter is they can have that possibility of bein' fickle all they fuckin' want but it isn't going to change the way people react here. Not that much, anyway. People are pretty good at adapting enough to push at the boundaries again and again...no reason it should be different here.

[ hmmm, but ]

There's no point in dying if you're just going to come right back. You can't have the same exact day twice, the same meal, the same conversation down to every bit-- it just isn't possible. Now, if that's different here, I'll be pretty bored.

I suppose so. Thus far, rebellion has been quite the topic among the other denizens here so surely there is truth to what you are saying. Whether such a thing could be conducted successfully is probably the real question.

[that's interesting though. this man has a point.]

As far as I know, such a thing should not be different here. I have seen beings living out what I'm sure others would call their second or third lives, and I would be inclined to agree with you. Their existence is much different than what it used to be. In that case, I should say that a second or third afterlife does not cheapen life itself, but rather, the prospect of repeating the events in one's life down to the letter does.

[ wow he totally dozed off a little in the middle of that but, uh-- ]

See, that's exactly it. You shouldn't get the opportunity in the first place. If the 'gods' here make that any easier well-- what's the point? You're going t'have people fuckin' killing each other left and right, and for what? A quick fix-up?

Heh. Like that'd be any better than one death in the first place.
