Good stuff! Glad to help.

[one outfit get.]

Well, theoretically speaking, the dead ought not want for nothin'.

Except funnily enough, I feel just as hungry and tired and restless as I ever did when I was alive. So yeah, maybe we will get hit with the bill down the line. Just when we least expect it.

[rippled]

I'm sure they will eventually expect us to get a job.

[ their 9-5 in heaven... ]

But you're right, it is fascinating that right now there really isn't that many differences from being alive.

[gutterbound]

You really think so? I imagine they've got some other purpose in mind. Feels too much like a sheep pen for my liking.

[He turns to them, then. Thinking.]

Forgive me, but...you remember how you died, right?

[rippled]

... I do, yes. I am not surprised by dying, because it was what meant to happen.

[ they frown. ]

Ending up here is what confuses me.

[gutterbound]

Oh, me too. Absolutely none of what I was preached came true. Did you know there's no fast food in the Holy Bible?

[Terrible, but true.]

Forgive me, though: do you mean "meant" as in, hey, we're all sacks of meat and bones, it's bound to happen someday. Or...something else?

[rippled]

Ah... well, I was in a competition before I came here. And at the end of it, I was always going to... "pass on," I suppose.

[ this is the simplest way to explain it. ]

But this was much more than I was expecting.

[gutterbound]

What, like some kind of gladiator?

[MY GUY. YOU ARE SO SMALL.]

[rippled]

Oh, no, but it was also more or less a fight to the death, so the idea still stands.

[ they are so small. ]
