Say what you will about mortality, the moment after the fear of death passes is truly a beautiful thing. I'm even feeling good about getting to move back into that tiny apartment and seeing these endless gray skies. Even the smell of smoke is almost pleasant after the smell of unwashed humanity cowering in catacombs.

[Private to Alistair]

I believe you once offered to trade training in telecommunications technology in exchange for training in the use of archaic weapons. Are you still interested in that?

[onemoredeath]

You really think that? And here I had thought you were scared of death.

[has_a_cult]

That hasn't changed.

[onemoredeath]

Oh? What is there to fear?

[has_a_cult]

This dissolution of your mind. The eternal black oblivion. Being nothing when you were once something. The world going on without you. The total inevitability of it all.

It profoundly disturbs me, and people who it doesn't disturb are maybe even worse.

[onemoredeath]

All things die. Even death when there is nothing left for it to claim.

[strategic_guile]

You sure are rolling around in all the positivity with absolutely no shame.

[has_a_cult]

We're not being bombed anymore, isn't that worth something?

[strategic_guile]

Of course it is, though I'm not going so far as enjoying the smokey air. Not this kind of smoke, anyway.

[has_a_cult]

Well...Okay perhaps I got a bit carried away.

[strategic_guile]

[Snerk] You don't experience that exhilaration of avoiding death feelings too often, do you?

[roadkills]

Yeah, I guess there's something to be said for that 'just lucky to be alive' feeling.

[has_a_cult]

It's not a feeling I have much experience with.

[roadkills]

It's not one that you want to get used to, trust me.

[has_a_cult]

I wasn't planning on throwing myself into danger any more than I had to.

[roadkills]

Here's hoping they ease up on throwing it our way.

[Even though he's pretty used to it by now.]

[insecrets]

Feels good to be alive, doesn't it? [He flashes a cheeky grin.] I'd hold onto it. This is going to be just the beginning, I think.

[has_a_cult]

You had to remind me.

[insecrets]

That's what I'm hear for. [A grin.] Ruining someone's day, apparently.

[has_a_cult]

I think that just for today, I'm not going to think about that.

[insecrets]

Whatever helps you. [He means that sincerely. He knows how it is to face reality.] I'd suggest a hobby, maybe. It helps to keep your mind focused on something else.

[sacrificar]

You think it's beautiful?

[has_a_cult]

Maybe exhilarating is a better word.

[sacrificar]

And after it passes?

[has_a_cult]

Well, then I suppose I'll go back to dealing with the drudgery of day to day life. Why?

[sacrificar]

I wanted to know, that was all.
