Uhh, I'm. Surprised you're congratulating me. You know, the one in favor of just getting rid of all the undead?

[applechemist]

But you didn't do it. You were able to work with everyone else.

[ that's. one way of looking at it. ]

[fleuris]

[ that is a very rose-tinted way of looking out it. ]

I don't think you get it. If I thought I could have done it? I would have. The only thing that stopped me was everyone rushing in, oo-ing and ah-ing over them.

[applechemist]

But in the end we were able to figure out that Polly was the culprit, so don't you feel relieved that you didn't do it?

Even if everyone was... [ Probably obnoxious, to her? ] Flustered?

[fleuris]

No.

[ zero hesitation. ]

[applechemist]

[ ........ :( ]

Oh...

[fleuris]

[ ............. ]

The dead should stay dead. Them walking around? Isn't right. There's a catch somewhere.

[applechemist]

I'm glad that people are okay, but...

I kind of agree. It's strange for dead people to come back.

[fleuris]

... Strange is putting it lightly, in my opinion.

[ Escha's just? cool with it??? ]

[applechemist]

Well, with all of us coming from different worlds, it's hard to set a strict 'standard.'

Polly was a ghost already. Chuuya is dead. Nathan is immortal.

So even though dying should be permanent in my world, there could be exceptions in other worlds that we're from - and we don't know what world we're in now.

... So - strange.

[fleuris]

Dying here apparently can't be undone without demons intervening. I don't think that's a good thing.

[applechemist]

That's fair...

But is there anything that can really be done about it, now? I don't think it would be good to try and... Um. Make sure they're dead. They might even just come back, again.

[fleuris]

[ well, considering she cracked Chuuya's skull open and he popped right back up... ]

... And when they start going nuts?

[applechemist]

If that happens... Maybe we could quarantine them for their own safety?

[fleuris]

When that happens, I don't know how much luck we'll have. Did you see Chuuya? He's got those... whatever abilities of his. You think there's anything here that could stand up to that?

[applechemist]

... We outnumber him, at least...?

[fleuris]

[ ... ]

Well, that's true. Maybe one of us could nab him while the rest of us are a distraction.

[applechemist]

That's a last resort, okay?

[fleuris]

[ siiiiiiiiiigh. ]

Well, I guess we'll all just die then?

[applechemist]

We won't die!

[fleuris]

Oh, my mistake. We'll be reanimated corpses for spirits.

[applechemist]

You're a pretty pessimistic person, huh?

[fleuris]

Life is unfair - might as well be prepared for it.

[ Zero, you are never prepared for it ]

[applechemist]

I guess always being prepared is a good thing...

[fleuris]

You're one of those people that always tries to see the good in anyone, aren't you.
