[video forever] I am the girl of 100 lists

[usskickass]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of feeling like we need a group update on, uh. Death and death-like things that've happened to folks.

Anybody wanna help me get up to date?

[cautious_knight]

You mean a list of how often those that are still around have died so far?

[usskickass]

Yup. This past event is the first one we've had in a while that felt seriously dangerous, I guess. Made me wonder if anybody's in trouble.

[cautious_knight]

You mean of having died too often? [He remembers the rather recent talk that he had abotu Alice.]

[usskickass]

Heck, at all. I didn't really think the babies were gonna kill us, did you?

[cautious_knight]

[he laughs nervously and shakes his head.] I'm sorry, I dying at all is really more disturbing to people who wouldn't normally come back back home. I apologize.

[usskickass]

Would you come back? Back home, I mean.

[cautious_knight]

If I died in any of the ways that would kill humans, yes, I would ...come back, so to say. I will always be there as long as my people are my people. [Though dying here might still be different (and he does not remember this, but it was pretty traumatic when he died), the prospect of dying to come back is actually reassuring. If he could die for good here, he would worry.]

[usskickass]

I...guess that makes sense.

[She scratches at her neck.]

We still have a limit, here. It's nice, I guess, that accidents won't be permanent. But we still gotta live through the pain each time. And when we run out, we aren't even sure what'll happen.

I figure we should keep track so everyone can be safer.

[cautious_knight]

Poland told me that there was a man here who did not come back after dying five times, that he knew of anyway. Maybe there were more. [And the tone indicated that the man had deserved it, even though he refused to go into any detail.]

[usskickass]

[Beiste raises her eyebrows, surprised.]

You remember that guy's name, by any chance?

[cautious_knight]

He didn't say. I don't think that he wanted to talk about him, he ...seemed to tie our future. Or he hurt someone whom Poland loved, or both. Not a pleasant person, most certainly.

[usskickass]

I'll have to ask Poland directly, then.

[cautious_knight]

THat should be the best idea. I'm sorry I can't help more.

[usskickass]

Don't worry about it. I want everyone to weigh in, after all.

[Because that's just how widespread dying is in this place. Ugh.]

[cautious_knight]

All right. Good luck with getting useful answers.

[bicorn]

Isn't that illegal?

[usskickass]

...What part?

[bicorn]

Dating dead people.

[usskickass]

I.

[Beiste actually replays her message because she has no idea where this is coming from.]

"Up to date" doesn't mean "date". It means. Caught up.

[bicorn]

Ohhh... I thought you meant like, a three way. Zombie style.

You should totally try it. Not with zombies, it'd be sad if you went to jail. But Santana and I--

[ She catches a fierce, disapproving look from off screen. Oops. ]

... Nevermind.

[usskickass]

[Threeways now? Where is she getting this?

At least Santana said no...]

Uh, anyway. Have you...died in this place, yet?

[The thought seriously sends a spear through her heart, but she's gotta ask everyone if she's going to get a feel for whether defense training would be worth it.]

[bicorn]

[ She shakes her head. ]

I don't think so?

[usskickass]

Good. Alright.

Can you do your best to keep it that way?

[bicorn]

Um... Yeah, sure. Totally.

[usskickass]

Thanks, Brit.

video.

[doesntmiss]

Death-like-things?

I didn't know there was someone who keeps track of that.

[video forever]

[usskickass]

Bein' turned to stone isn't really dyin', but. You know. [It probably counts.]

Sometimes there is. Sometimes there isn't. Kinda hard to keep track of it when people keep comin' and going. If I go home, it'll be back to square one, I guess.

[cookingfordogs]

Who kicked the bucket?

[Somebody doesn't know how death works here.]

[video forever]

[usskickass]

Well, Karkat turned to stone during the last event. He posted about it earlier. I'm pretty sure stuff like that counts as dyin', as far as the mansion's concerned.

Re: [video forever]

[cookingfordogs]

Zombies ain't real.

[usskickass]

I...didn't mention zombies.

[She pauses, something clicking.]

You do know folks get five chances here, right? If you die, you can do it five more times before...well, somethin' happens. Nobody's quite sure, yet.

[cookingfordogs]

[You can be revived? His expression remains constant, but his eyes widen. He wants to know more.]

Someone died that much?

[usskickass]

Not since I've been here. But the-- the characters. Alice and all them. They've said stuff that makes it sound like we aren't supposed to go beyond five.

[cookingfordogs]

[Interesting. Not that he wants to test it, but this only makes him want to find one of the residents even more.]

Those guys...

[usskickass]

Hm?

[cookingfordogs]

They only come out before one of the 'events' happen, right?

[usskickass]

Most of the time, yeah.

[cookingfordogs]

[You can almost see the wheels turning in his head!]

[usskickass]

What's up?
