Who: Everyboooody
When: Day 2, Morning
Where: Auditorium
What: IT'S TIME FOR ROUND 2

[The bells for round two ring bright and early this morning, at around 9am. Once again, you feel the compulsion to head to the auditorium, and once again, the reluctant will find their feet carrying them there despite their wishes to the contrary.]

Ahem, ahem! Bring your dead with you.

"Victim pool"?

Well, if you want to keep something like this going for any period of time, you can't just let people die for real. Because then, sooner or later, everyone would be dead and you'd have nothing to do!

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[barrette]

It's still dying for real. [ said sharply ] Being revived doesn't make it not real.

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[anoblecaws]

Oh, uh-huh! It doesn't make the mauling any less bloody, of course. But if necromancy makes you wake up the next morning, then functionally, it's as if you haven't died at all.

[ just. shakes her head ]

Physically, sure. But they'll remember it and know it happened.

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[anoblecaws]

Yeah, but you're still alive, so who cares?

[ ..Henry is very very lucky she isn't willing to try to punch anyone in the face at a time like this.

as it is, she looks coldly angry. ]

They will, and I do.

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[anoblecaws]

[That's okay, Henry's pain-sensing nerves are so wrecked that he wouldn't even feel it.]

Don't you think it's just easier to move on, though?

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[barrette]

It would be, if moving on was that easy.

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[anoblecaws]

It's easy for me.

[And if it isn't, he is very skilled at hiding it, considering one of his comrades is lying dead on the stage.]

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[barrette]

And you didn't die, so it's not the same thing.

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[anoblecaws]

Ha! You think I've never been hurt like that before?

Where I used to be, dying would have been a gift. Still don't know how I survived, but I'm pretty sure a normal person woulda died at least three times in there.

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[barrette]

That's not what I meant to say.

[ breathes slowly to try and keep calm ]

Being hurt like that is awful, but dying... It's not the same thing as being hurt. You know when you're dying, you feel it and it's... it's...

[ how do you put into words that dying fucking sucks when you've done it repeatedly, we just don't know ]

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[anoblecaws]

[Henry stays silent, waiting for her to continue. Please tell him what dying feels like. He's curious.]

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[barrette]

...It's cold. And its worse when you realize why it's starting to not hurt anymore.

Re: MINGLE/REVIVALS

[anoblecaws]

It's cold? Really? Darn, I kept hoping it was gonna be warm.

[He ignores the second part because haha, most things don't really hurt in the first place. He can be killed like any other person, but he probably wouldn't feel it.]
