[ well, there's no way to say it, except to say it, so: ]

One of us died today. Big guy, blond hair. I don't know his name. I found his body.

[ that's his schtick, isn't it? finding bodies. ]

What I do know is that he fell on some rocks near the beach. Looks like an accident, no foul play. The fall shouldn't have killed him.

[ could've, if the bastard really were that unlucky, but it's unlikely. besides: ]

But it did break his lantern. Seems like Winters was telling the truth about that after all. Before anyone asks:

1) No, I didn't see it happen.
2) Yes, I checked for a pulse.
3) No, I didn't do it.

[ juST COVERING HIS BASES THERE ]

One more thing. I had to step away to get my tablet. When I came back, both he and his lantern were gone. No one else was here, I'm positive. They just vanished into thin air.

[ ooc | so as of today, rosinante (callada) is dead :C feel free to threadjack in this post and use it for discussion or whatever! ]

How's that?

[ why... ]

[kungfuey]

For when he comes back

[fogey]

What are you talking about?

[kungfuey]

The fact that dying doesn't always mean dead.

So I hear.

[fogey]

Do you plan on actually explaining what you know and where you heard it, or are you going to make me ask? I'll remind you that one of us is dead, again. This isn't the time to be coy

[kungfuey]

We're all dead. One of us just repeated the process.

I talked to the pretentious one. He's surprisingly chatty when you get him away from a crowd.

I already told you what I heard. Go to the church. Sometimes the dead come back and that's where.

[fogey]

Do me a favor. Tell that to his friends.

So Ingram told you. Any idea of a timeline?

[kungfuey]

You really think its wise to get their hopes up?

He wasn't big on the details. Seemed like a touchy subject.

[fogey]

I meant your cute comment how we're all dead anyway, but it doesn't matter either way. Presumably, anyone who cares about this news won't just read my message, but also the replies.

[ so there's a good likelihood of hopes going up anyway. ]

I'll have to ask him about it later.

[kungfuey]

I don't do cute. It's a fact. We're dead. Whoever or whatever is behind us clearly wants us here for a reason so what exactly would be the point in doing all this just to get rid of somebody immediately? I somehow doubt the afterlife runs like a reality tv show.

[fogey]

Hell if I know. Your guess is as good as mine

So should we bother burying this poor son of a bitch?
Does he mean that it's the same body and we should put it in the church and just wait for him to wake up? Or is it that if we leave him where laid his head there'll be another one of him in the church and his body still out there?

[kungfuey]

You have given this way too much thought Cowboy.

[ His name is a bit of a giveaway. ]

Hard to have a burial without a body. It disappeared apparently.

[ultimatums]

Well that answers that
I don't like any of this shit one bit

[kungfuey]

Kinda disappointed it took you that long.
As opposed to being here in the first place?

[ultimatums]

The longer I'm here the more I find to dislike
If I die around here I don't want my body disappearing into the ether and reappearing in the church

@dr

[donttalktome]

You do know I can see this, right?

[fogey]

That's good to know

[donttalktome]

It's a public network.
This isn't exactly astrophysics.

[fogey]

A public, monitored network. Like I said, good to know

[donttalktome]

Really can't win with you people, can I?
Fine, have your little conspiracy theory.
Wear your little tinfoil hats.
Perhaps I should be honored that you think I'm capable of creating and maintaining an entire world devoted to capturing the dead for no apparent reason.
But if you're going to be so adamant about distrusting me, at least listen to Winters.
He actually gives a shit.

[kungfuey]

Did you notice how nobody has asked me who I meant?

[donttalktome]

You were only talking to one person.
There's no "nobody" involved.

[kungfuey]

You realize "everyone" can see this right?

[donttalktome]

Yes but it's not usually common practice to jump into another person's conversation to ask who they're talking about.
What about me is pretentious anyway?
Pretentious suggests you can't back it up.
