[ it opens with the sound of walking, the creak of a door opening followed by hard soled shoes on an old wooden floor. there's a creak of a lid opening, and then the scrape of a chair across the floor. There's a pause without sound and then there is a song. After it's done, Takegami plays a couple simple scales and then sighs. ]

That was an interesting interlude. Do try better next time, mm? I think I lasted a good two minutes laying in that alley. Mind, I am still pissed about my jacket. Do you know hard it is to find a good leather coat in this place? Blood does not come out of leather, never mind the holes. People and their guns. How messy.

[ yeah, he does not care about dying. in fact, he finds it a little funny. ]

What did I miss while I was spending time among the dearly departed?

[charming_jerk]

Man, seriously, nothin'? Not like, what you were doin' or where ya were beforehand?

voice

[ofthegrey]

Dying is a bit overrated, all things considered. I didn't think we'd be seeing you again, or rather hearing from you.

[He pauses a beat.]

I'd be better equipped to answer your latter question if I knew what interests you here. Mind you I've been more than a little out of touch of late.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Oh! There's gonna be this cool masked ball- and I think we're going back in time to some super fancy place to hold it? You have to come!

voice;

[bratworth]

Is it too much to expect a sensible answer from you for once?

[a_million_blossoms]

... Well, you do not seem too troubled by the fact that you were dead.

voice

[onemoredeath]

It is overrated. So much clamor for so little results.

Oh, in general.

[onemoredeath]

Should I be?

[Audio]

[onemoredeath]

I find the idea of panicking over nothing rather tiring. I do not need the added wrinkles of such actions.

Action

[onemoredeath]

She is still getting use to the human condition and she was drunk enough to assume I was there to hurt her even before I said anything. We were both leaving the bar at the same time; I cannot help that we also are in the same building.

[ He finds the idea far too amusing. ]

I am sorry if I made you worry.

voice;

[onemoredeath]

I am being sensible. I was dead. The Initiative brought me back from the dead.

action

[onemoredeath]

How can I refuse? Especially when you're asking me to.

[video]

[onemoredeath]

I was at a bar and then I was heading home.

Next thing, the Initiative was telling me not to panic.

[boughtabookstore]

"Quaint" is hardly the terminology I would use.

action

[tipsygnostalgia]

Then you have to dance with me too. Deal?

[video]

[charming_jerk]

Great. We prob'ly got some kinda serial killer on the loose.

Re: voice

[ofthegrey]

At least when it comes to this place. In my world, it's a good bit more permanent.

In general, I'd say you haven't missed much. More new arrivals. Quite a few more. I suppose our hosts are hoping to fill up all the apartments that are being so thoughtfully repaired.

action

[onemoredeath]

Ah, I cannot refuse such a request. I shall dance with you then.

[video]

[onemoredeath]

[ THE IRONY. IT BURNS. ]

There is that idea I have heard.

action

[tipsygnostalgia]

Great!

...i need to stop coding in the middle of the night

[onemoredeath]

I wonder how they would actually punish people.

Re: voice

[onemoredeath]

In mine as well. I suppose they can only do that to us as well.

They should be. I have heard that they work hard at trying to keep us happy.

Re: voice

[ofthegrey]

I've heard that, too. That whole pretty announcement from them not so long ago. I feel so much better about it all now.

[His expression and tone of voice say exactly the opposite.]

[a_million_blossoms]

Most humans are.

Re: will just copy the code

[neveraskedforthis]

You have some nerve, making a big show out of your death and then denying knowledge of who attacked you. Tell me what happened between the two of you.

Action

[feel_nevermore]

What do you mean 'getting used to the human condition'?

[She snorts softly.] I didn't really have enough time to worry.
