[Liminal] Once Everyone Returns

[wantedittobeagame]

Oh great, you're all here.

[Hello all; someone sounds super grumpy in your heads almost as soon as everyone pops back in. Not that anyone could really blame him, given what happened.]

I just have one question: what dumbass thought it was a good idea to kill me? Hunh?

You seriously died?

[Okay look, just because someone tells you the all-powerful (or like 3/4 powerful?) beings that kidnapped you and mindfucked you into thinking you belonged in some weird dungeons and dragons knockoff world can bring you back from the daed doesn't mean you're gonna believe it right away. But talking to someone who's lived (.......) it??

You're maybe about to blow Worick's mind, buddy.

HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIIIIIDE...?]

[wantedittobeagame]

Yeah, I did.

[Adachi let out a mental sigh. Is it possible to sound bored in your head? Because that's Adachi right now, like dying is old hat for him. And technically, it kind of was.]

This is the second time... kinda. It's getting annoying either way.

[memorizza]

[Given the sorts of things that register to Worick as 'normal', he can kind of understand that reaction.

...But on the other hand:]

Twice?

[Sorry bro, he's working on letting that settle in.]

[wantedittobeagame]

Yeah, I... kinda died before on my world? Sort of?

...really it's kind of a grey area.

[memorizza]

First time I've ever heard of dying as 'grey', but hey-- you're the expert.

[Which... Frankly blows, but it is what it is.]

Anyway, since you're looking for a someone and not a something, I'm gonna go ahead and assume it wasn't a dragon that did you in this time...

[wantedittobeagame]

Man, you guys had dragons, I had some political BS. Not fair.

[Sorry, he doesn't have any cheese to go with that whine.]

And it's not like I want to be the death expert.

...

Deathspert.

[memorizza]

I get enough of that back home, guess they thought I could use a break.

[Because fire breathing lizards and a professional demotion are totally a break.... What even are their lives.]

But yeah, that's a pretty crap field to be master of. [Are condolences still appropriate when the person a) died themselves and b) is still around? There is no precedent for this...

Snickering at 'deathspert' is probably not the correct response regardless, but it happens anyway.]

...Still, sorry to hear it. That blows.

[And the understatement of the year award goes to...]

[wantedittobeagame]

Dragons is a break from politics?

...yeah, okay, I can see that.

[Something actiony would be a nice break from trying to resist the urge to punch someone in the face.]

[memorizza]

Absolutely. I appreciate the simple things in life.

[Especially after the shit that'd been going down just before he came here. Getting stabbed and tossed out of a window for someone (more or less) and then finding out that they've majorly screwed you (more than likely) definitely sucks more than dragons.

At least the dragons weren't personal.]
