[If she could have, Hazel would avoid video. But the question had been nagging her ever since she woke up again. After...dying. Again. Only this time, it had been different. Her spirit hadn't gone to the Judgement Pavilion. Nor had she been sent back to the Fields of Asphodel. She's simply...remained. Incorporeal, but very much aware of what was going around her.]
[It was strange. Even by her standards.]
People told me that we could...come back. [The most delicate way of coming out and saying oh by the way I kind of died.] But I still don't understand how it happened.

[He'll just assume she means that she actually did die recently. Since otherwise that's a weird way to phrase things.]
It's not easy to come back.

It was easy.
[Not what he might have been referring to, but...it was true. She didn't have to do anything. One minute, she was a ghost. The next, she wasn't.]
video;
[Psychologically, for him anyway, it was pretty draining each time.]
Was it because of that event? That one was a little different from normal.
video;
The one with the horse-drawn wagons and clothing from way before my mom's time?
I think so.
video;
We don't usually turn into ghosts when we die here. Usually we're just gone for a few days.
video;
[She guessed, as if it were supposed to be obvious.]
video;
No. You're just...gone. It's not even like being unconscious.
video;
[No matter. Straightening a little, she tried to cover up by continuing on.]
So nobody knows where people usually go?
video;
Right. The first time you die, you come back a day later and your body is fine. Every time you die after that has an extra day added.
video;
You make it sound like dying happens a lot around here.
video;
[Most people seem to die at least once while they're around. Not that he's keeping track of things that closely.]
It happens. Sometimes because of events, sometimes just because.
video;
[It was perhaps the longest she'd been in one place since her days at Camp Jupiter, but relatively to Wonderland standards, she was still new.]
Just because...you mean people randomly drop dead?
[That didn't sound right.]
video;
video;
[She relaxed a fraction, if only because that made slightly more sense to her. Sadly enough.]
That's not too different from anywhere else. I guess.
video;
[Still dang unpleasant, though.]
video;
[She actually had to stop herself from making a different comment altogether.]
Better than the alternative. Although I'd rather not die at all.
video;
[He just slips that in there all casual-like.]
video;
video;
video;
[She wasn't entirely sure where he was going with this, but she was beginning to suspect.]
video;
video;
video;
[Or which one is closest to it.]
