Captain's Log; 00.3 (text)

[captains]

I've got a hypothetical situation for you. It's relevant to our current predicament.

If you were married to some idiotic heroic type, the type that would say run into the arms of a nuke in a desperate attempt to save a dying nation, but the benevolent Initiative resurrected them, are you still a widower?

More importantly, if they didn't leave a will, do I still get all of their stuff?


Remember, this is all hypothetical. Nobody died. I think.

[pilot]

No.

swapping to video for you boo

[captains]

[That's the a sarcastic grin lining the rim of his split lip, and he spins the beer idly on the table]

So I'm still married then? Well, that puts a damper on my day.

[Misunderstanding on purpose! Also, he's glad you're alive]

he is so touched

[pilot]

That's what marriage does.

[lambofcolumbia]

...Wait you're married? To whom? You haven't said anything about that.

[They share an apartment shouldn't she have some inkling of this?]

[captains]

You could say that. [Poor Elizabeth, she's so unprepared for the two idiots she got landed with] To that handsome fellow right up there. We're a private sort.

[pilot]

One, you really need to rethink your definition of private. Two, stop telling people we're married.

[ the handsome part is acceptable. please mention that more. ]

[lambofcolumbia]

Wait. You mean-

What?

[She's from 1912. They didn't have that sort of thing.]

Mayhap the better question is if the wife would welcome back a man she has already mourned, who died a heroic but needless death.

[captains]

Wouldn't that depend on how long the mourning period was? Resurrection happens pretty fast.

[wilder]

That...depends. Do you still wanna be married to such an idiot?

He kind of grew on me. It's hard to resist the windswept hair, and bits of shrapnel embedded in those perfect pecs.

I might be on the fence, dear Abby. What should I do?

funny.

[spoilers: she doesn't think it's funny.]

[captains]

I think it's important information to have.

[hyanaimne]

Hypothetically, the answer is yes to both questions.

[captains]

And what qualifications are you weighting in with?

[queenoftherock]

[He hopes you can hear and read the deadpan in this text.]

Hypothetical.

[captains]

For a hypothetical marriage that happened months ago.

[cradlerobbed]

These aren't serious questions, are they?

[captains]

If they were?

[ringbeast]

Dunno man. They might be dead to me.

[He raises his eyebrow.]

You the widower to be or the one who's doin' the widowing?

text;

[conservator]

Well, hypothetically speaking, death would make the marriage void, even if they were brought back to life later on.

If your spouse is dead, there's nothing really stopping you from taking their stuff.

... Were you in this marriage only to take their belonging in the end?

[powdered]

I think it's up to you to decide.

Though if you decided to remain a widower and collect their assets, at the very least wear black for the appropriate length of time to avoid looking tasteless.

text;

[spellwork]

Yes, of course.

You do want all of their things, don't you?

[moralperil]

You left out the most important part. What are your feelings on this? Hypotheticical you.

[Spelling is not his strong point.]

It seems to me like most ppl would want to be happy their spouse was back and just move on, but in a way they were still widowed. So. IDK. I don't think that's something a crowd of strangers can decide on. Marriage is so personal.

I think there are extenuating circumstances for resurrection. Otherwise how would you get anything done once you'd returned from the dead? You'd have to start all over.
