If you know you're dying and won't be coming back, what would you die for?

I know I would die just to save one person. How sad it is that we don't have that choice here, yes?

Saving one person would be good enough, yes.

And I agree. It would be preferable to being forced to run away.

Did it already, turned out badly. Wouldn't recommend.

[justthedriver]

Did it too. Turned out rather well. Won't mind doing it again.

Your bitterness quite unattractive.

Do you wonder why the portal won't allow anyone through?

[whatsupcroc]

We have the choice. We just have to take a little more time in figuring out how to make those choices possible, then act.

[heirwithouthope]

Does it matter? Will it comfort you to know?

So many in this world scramble for the opinions of others--there is no explanation for such desperate need. Tell me what it serves if I answer you or not.

[justthedriver]

We have the choice. You really believe that?

[perma anontext]

[justthedriver]

Find out what kind of person you are.

Giving your life to save another is honorable. Though to be revived, to be given another chance, you could save more.

[text]

[justthedriver]

No you can't. Not around here anyway.

[whatsupcroc]

I believe in that. Also choosing to believe that, so hey. Why work toward something other than that?

[perdre]

... I would, too.

[justthedriver]

A better question is: why work towards something that seems impossible? The rule about not bringing anything living through the portal has been there for long time, yes?

[ Bitter, bitter, bitter. ]

[justthedriver]

You tried?

[perdre]

I don't think I ever had to. Before.

[justthedriver]

But this time you had to. How does failure feel like?

[perdre]

I haven't found a word for that yet.

thanks to the initiative's little timeline mix up awhile back, I DO know when I'm going to die. And I did try to save anyone or anything during the battle but it was for nothing. so I guess I did try to sacrifice myself to save even one person. even if it was for nothing. We couldn't even bring people back. What a bunch of bullshit

Payback.

[and for someone else, but we don't need to be saying that in public.]

My friends, probably. And my parents.

Sometimes, even final death can't change the way things would have turned out.

[whatsupcroc]

Wrong. Has been for a long time? Maybe, but that's using the tech in a weird way that's been untested before this. You don't give up after a failure or two, you keep trying! We've barely been around for more than a year. Yet you'd write off any changes that fast?

[curatesecrets]

For the same reason you would. One specific person.

[anothercoldwar]

I don't have to wonder. They showed their disregard for the problem they made when we were all recalled.

Must be nice to have someone to blame so easily.
