Indulge my curiosity for a moment, would you?

( could you deny a face like his? could you? you couldn't. which is good because he's going to ask a somewhat morbid question. )

We're all, apparently, dead. But some of us have died again and been returned via the church. Some of us have disappeared or died and not been returned. Are they still here somewhere? Or have they been sent back to where they came from?

Those are hypothetical questions, by the way. Feel free to try and answer but I think it's going to be a lot of time that could be spent on something more fruitful.

My actual question: could the the way of dying a second time crucial to who stays and who goes? Or did those of us that have been lost end somewhere in this place that we've yet to find?

( he knows that it's not necessarily a fun thing to think about but he recalls the resurrection of his aunt hilda after her many deaths at the hands of his other aunt versus how harvey's brother had come back. two dead people returned to the land of the living but only one went on to live a relatively normal life.

ambrose knows that might be because hilda is a witch herself and tommy was a normal human. but his curiosity still stands. )

Do we need to institute the buddy system to make sure no one else wanders off and doesn't come back?

( he's joking. mostly. )

Is there a way to, uhm-- hello? Is there a way to make a list? Of who died, how and where? It seems like something we should make a list of, and it-- it would make it easier to, like, avoid the places that killed the most? And also, has someone made a list of all of us? On-- on maybe we should look at how he all died the first time? Maybe that's something that's important?

[ all interesting questions, and ones kol has had himself in his long, long lifetime. to ask them in another place… it's all part of the experience, isn't it? what happens when a new orleans witch's soul is destroyed in the ancestral realm? what happens if people die here, over and over? clearly beacon isn't the be all end all of death, just like the other side and ancestral realm. ]

A buddy system wouldn't be awful.

[ he's also sort of joking, even though the only person he cares about is his buddy. ]

As friendly as some of the spirits here are, there's a lot more at play than a peaceful afterlife. I don't know enough about this place to be able to answer you, but from experience… when the world around those who have died dies, there's no place else. If you die... who knows where you end up. [ musingly, ] Is there death beyond death?

I am absolutely down for a buddy system.

[For five reasons, but he makes it sound vaguely flirty... That's also just how he talks, to be honest. It's the bad Irish accent. it makes everything lilty.]

It couldn't hurt
The buddy system I mean
Or just groups who check in with each other
Make sure no one goes wandering off alone

It is possible to cease to exist if the soul is destroyed. There is no coming back from that. This is most likely what happened to those who do not return.

[He's mostly speaking from experience here and not because he knows how things work in this town. It could be different, but who knows.]

Does that mean you've chosen one for yourself already?

It was my understanding that those who don't return is a direct result of damage to their lantern. The how might matter, though more for the fact that damaging deaths are damaging to the lantern as well.

( he has no comment on the buddy system. if he wants to go out in the forest to die alone for a second time, none of y'all can stop him, ok?!? HE WORKS ALONE )

People die and come back?

[ this place continues to be strange, but what else is new? ]

Hi again.
