So I get we got plenty of urgent business to take care of what with...well, we live on the moon, bombs, wars, yadda yadda, but indulge me for a bit.

Everyone keeps talkin' about Halloween, yeah? An' it's about ghosts an' the departed...

So for Ghosts, those currently present that is, would this be like a second birthday? Y'know, as in gifts an' the like? Cause I could stand behind somethin' like that a hundred percent.

I'm in 155 if anyone's feelin' generous.

Nothin' gives you more of an appreciation for life like bein' dead, Mr.Break.

[maddeninghatter]

"Life is wasted on the living," that sort of thing?

[onehundredswords]

Somethin' like that.

There's all that talk about how people get the desire to live strongest on their deathbed, after all.

[maddeninghatter]

Ah... haha~!

[ HITTING A LITTLE CLOSE TO HOME HERE ]

So, er, how's the afterlife treating you?

[NO PLEASE BREAK CONTINUE ON THE SUBJECT HE'S SUPER INTERESTED]

Pretty good! Only about as good as Exsilium is goin' for everyone else.

Though I spent the last hundred years or so workin' for the afterlife, technically, but it was only as busy as I made it to be.

[So not very.]

Delegatin' business to others worked pretty well for that.

[maddeninghatter]

[ ...oh.

He'd assumed Gin was one of those unfortunate souls who turned up in Exsilium shortly after dying. ]

So - you've been dead for some time. Working in celestial civil service.

[ A beat ]

Dear me, I'm not sure which is worse~!

[onehundredswords]

[Oddly enough, he's both.ghosts can die who knew]

Mind numbin' boredom, a lack of things to do in an endless void with a bunch of other stiffs...it was one hell of a struggle alright, the civil service gig.

[maddeninghatter]

Are you sure you weren't sent to Hell? Because that really sounds quite like it.

[onehundredswords]

Naw, I'm just bein' a little overly dramatic I suppose.

Hell's an entirely different story. The afterlife is kinda like livin' for a bit before you reincarnate, but hell's nothin' but sufferin' for alllllll the bad you did durin' your life. You wouldn't get bored there, you'd get distressed an' despair.

[maddeninghatter]

Goodness, you sound like an expert. Did you send people to Hell? Or spend time there yourself, perhaps?
