[ When the feed opens today, there is no video or audio feed. However, there will be text appearing on the screen from what seems to be from one curious teenage girl. ]

I have several questions. If they don't apply to you or you don't know the answer, just don't answer at all. That's all.

1. Have you ever died before arriving in Exsilium? If not, have you died in Exsilium?

2. How does death work here? Is it permanent or not?

On another unrelated note, I am planning on assembling a rebellion against the Initiative to get some real answers. If anyone is interested, tell me immediately. I need to know how many people we'll have to get something started, after all.

i've heard of people coming back to life here. no one i know personally as far as i know. but that shit is crazy. how does that even work?

people where i'm from die and stay dead. at least as far as i know.

[leadthebeats]

I see. I guess that makes some sort of odd sense, considering.

And it's the same for my world. You stay dead when you die. At least, that's how it was on Earth.

[ She won't mention the fact that she's dead and was in the Afterlife where if they do something right, they can be reincarnated. Not that she knows what she would get reincarnated into. ]

there were some murders right after i first got here but like a week later, the victims came back. it was nuts.

people have died here and they have come back. I highly doubt that anyone here knows the mechanics behind it.

As for assembling, it may be helpful to know that half the god damn transports that come through here have called for the same. Make of that what you will.

[leadthebeats]

I didn't need to know the mechanics in the first place. Knowing this information is useful enough.

But if they've tried, they probably just haven't done it right.

[stonefaith]

I assume you think that you can do it right.

Relevant.

[leadthebeats]

Thanks. Though I'm not sure if I'm ready to actually be led instead of leading.

[kingside]

That was not, in fact, the point.

You and everyone else.

[ She... is not going to bother switching to video just for this. ]

Ha ha, very funny.

[lovesgod]

Not a joke. Plenty of other people claiming to make resistance forces and coming up empty as far as anyone can tell.

It would not be wise to organize a rebellion.

There are easier ways to get the answers you seek.

voice

[leadthebeats]

And you honestly think I'll get the answers that easily?

[ She doesn't sound all that pleased, really. ]

Besides, I want to give these idiots a good punching.

voice

[selfloyalty]

Not as easily as you may wish, but you have a better chance than simply calling for an unnecessary rebellion.

[Anora doesn't exactly sound all that pleased either.]

There is honestly no need for violence against the Initiative. Gradually, they are actually improving.

Died twice, came back, have not yet died here.

[leadthebeats]

Came back? You're not talking about as a zombie or anything, are you?

[dusk_and_dawn]

I was dead before my arrival and have died and been resurrected many times. This is not uncommon but rather expected.

[leadthebeats]

Thanks for the confirmation. I was thinking it was something like this, though I wasn't entirely sure.

[defending]

ive died at home.

twice.

count me in on the rebelling.

[leadthebeats]

Twice? So does that mean someone revived you both times or something else?

[ Sorry, she's kind of curious. ]

And great. I'm Yuri, by the way.

2. It's not permanent. People return.

[leadthebeats]

I thought that was the case. Though how does it work? Do they return a few seconds, minutes, or even days?

[ video ]

[hostage]

Yeah, I died. Not here. Back home.

[He's saying it like it's not a big deal, but he's looking off-camera and his hands are fidgeting.]

Everybody says they can bring you back to life here. Sounds right to me, obviously.

[Now he looks at the camera.]

We got enough problems with those U.E. sons of bitches coming after us. We don't need you pulling shit on top of it.

[ audio ]

[leadthebeats]

[ She won't turn on the video, but she will turn on the audio and speak in the most annoyed, yet deadpan tone ever.

Yeah, she doesn't really give a damn. ]

Well, I wouldn't be surprised. And I'm not planning on "pulling shit". I'm not an idiot, you know, and I'm not planning on doing something so stupid that would get any of us killed permanently.
