Have ghosts ever happened before? I thought when everyone died they just came back.
It was the first time that I've died here. I don't really know what it's supposed to be but I guess it wasn't what I expected.
I didn't expect to be a ghost.
Unless that was the horror part.
Has anyone been there before to know what else happens?

I think I'm okay. It's weird knowing I died and now I'm not dead.

No I meant where we were.

Does something else happen when you died?

Don't think too hard about it, it won't do you any good.

I made it. I don't know anything about that happened out there for the people who didn't. I thought you guys stayed with us, we could see you and talk to you.

Normally, Adam thought moving onto the afterlife was instantaneous; you kind of just went in whichever your soul was supposed to go, and you more or less knew where you ended up.]</sub>

I'll try not to.

That's why it was weird being a ghost. I still looked pretty alive minus the whole passing through things bit.

[halfwinchester]

That doesn't sound too bad.

_{[Not the worst outcome. The Casper kind of haunting, not the Poltergeist kind.]}

How long were you stuck like that? I didn't see you.

[formercheerio]

A couple of days. I didn't manage to float around every wagon though.

Was the food good?

<sub>[Honestly, it'd be a little morbid to check in on every single group and do a head count on who had made it, who hadn't, and who was in the middle of dying from injuries or ridiculous ailments. No, thanks.

Then again, being a ghost is pretty morbid, too. He doesn't relish Quinn's Oregon Trail spirit walk.]</sub>

About as good as the food in the mansion when we got the closets back.

Not even Wonderland can make crappy restaurant food taste better, anyway.

_{[He's trying to cheer her up by saying she hadn't missed much.]}

[formercheerio]

I guess it can't.

I'm still going to have my own 'hey you were dead and missed out' food session. Maybe find a few of the other people that died?

[halfwinchester]

_{[Hey, they earned it. Adam thinks they're free to stuff their faces with as much as they want.]}

That's the least you deserve. And the service in this diner is better.

If they don't feel like talking about it they won't beat around the bush. Can't hurt to ask.

[formercheerio]

They can at least come for food and not talk about it. I think the deaths out there probably seemed more real than some that happens in here. Like snake bites or illness is pretty real.

[halfwinchester]

_{[Being scooped up by a giant bird of prey is a little less normal, but still real.]}

I think you're probably right. Quicker is better.

_{[Like ripping a bandaid off. Adam's mostly stopped being appalled that he's been reduced to the level of talking about human life in terms of a person's comfort level in how fast or slow they die, but it's reality now.]}

[formercheerio]

I'd rather not know it was going to happen.

( Rather than be in any pain from it. That was what most people on an Earth type place wanted, anyway )
