So.

As I understand it, we don't die here. People...appear in a town with their wounds healed, or illness cured, or the like. Or so I've been told.

...What happens to someone who dies of old age, then? Would they die over and over again, or...become young, or... [He waves his hand around. Mysterious mysteries.] How it all happens aside, I can't imagine what would take place. [...] Has it, ever?

[heartdive]

...I don't think anyone's been here long enough for that.

[beholdmydemons]

Haven't they? [...Yeah he was kind of expecting that.] What of, uh...someone who was old when they came here?

...Hah, it's a slim chance...

[heartdive]

Jack's probably one of the oldest here, but he doesn't look like an old guy.

[freshprints]

Maybe we simply don't age here, either.

...Oh. [WELL THAT'S DISAPPOIwait that was a "maybe"] I wouldn't be able to tell...someone younger might.

[freshprints]

You mean someone like a teenager, for whom physical changes would be more dramatic and noticeable.

I don't think anyone who comes here has ever been old enough for that to be a concern, actually! Or that anyone has stayed here long enough.

[beholdmydemons]

I still wonder what would happen.

[timelymaid]

I suppose if someone really old shows up you should make good friends with them, then?

[ Why is that a suggestion you are actually making, Aradia. ]

[paladinlost]

As the oldest arrivals came about three and a half years ago and our average age is surprisingly low, that particular issue has not yet become relevant. We'll see in twenty or thirty years, I imagine.

[video]

[beholdmydemons]

Three years isn't long at all. [...]

...You suppose anyone will stay here for that many years? If three and a half is the very oldest yet.

[...that is a good question and probably one he should have thought to ask earlier, but. You know. That involves acknowledging that he's damn near 40, doesn't it.

You're getting text just because he hates talking to machines, however.]

Well, from what I understand there are graveyards. So presumably the people here die eventually, though I don't know if that's just the locals or not.

Why do you ask? You seem a bit young for it to be concerning you.

[perma-text/voice]

[beholdmydemons]

The thought came to me! And I'd like to know. [He shrugs.] If my good fate has it, I'll live out my life here, so perhaps someday I'll find out.

[solas_ion]

Gotta be honest, I always assumed nobody aged all that much here.

[video]

[beholdmydemons]

Does anyone know that for certain or not? [That would be so damn weird.

...] How old are you?

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

...that's probably the best question ever asked here. Bet we'll never get the answer.

[He pauses, pushing up his shades.]

Never seen anyone die here, but yeah it seems like we just appear at the center intact. Makes sense I guess. We sometimes go into a week long dirt nap and wake up with new memories and some physical changes if the memories are in year spans.

[beholdmydemons]

I'm flattered. [It seems like an obvious enough question...]

That part I knew about. You think that has something to do with death?

[struck_out]

I don't think so! Pokemon wouldn't be an E-rated game if it let people just, die!

[Of course, Leon's only played Pokemon Red and Yellow so...he's not sure if Nintendo's gone down that road in the later releases.]

[beholdmydemons]

What the hell are you talking about?

[strongestoftheturks]

Don't think so.

[Honestly, Rude thinks the Life Stream here might be a little...wonky. He can't even recall seeing babies being born here.]

[beholdmydemons]

To which part?

[redenzione]

[Dante had been busy taking care of his Pokemon so he had missed the first hald of Walter's post. He heard the tail end of the question though.]

Good day Walter, I overheard your question. What brought such thoughts to your mind?

Action

[beholdmydemons]

[Mrmm.]

Uh, no specific thing. The thought caught me as it went by.

[He clicks the 'Gear's screen off and stretches his arms over his head, dislodging the Vulpix that's been trying to curl up against his side despite the temperature.]

[superordinary]

...That's a good question. I know graveyards exists here, and if no one died at all I'm sure this place would be rather crowded by now. Unless there also are no births...

video;

[beholdmydemons]

What kind of world is this?

[...the delivery there is more comical than anything, but Walter's deadly serious about it. This question has spawned a bunch of theories and *none of them are nice*.]

The dead walk with the living, the dying vanish somehow to be mended, its people may not even age, it's some kind of story-dream-...game - is it even real?

[He'd totally write it off as an afterlife if he wasn't very obviously alive for a while there.]
