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?

[video]
Gotta be honest, I always assumed nobody aged all that much here.
[video]
...] How old are you?
[video]
Thirty. Or, I was thirty when I got here.
[Beat.]
...But that's how old I was when I died, so I kinda quit keepin' track.
[BECAUSE THAT'S NORMAL.]
[video]
That's more common here than I'd thought. [Cool to know.] But anyhow...at thirty, you'd not know whether you aged or not, would you? No longer growing, but far from grey yet.
[video]
Guess you wouldn't, no. [Frowning, Lancer gave this some actual thought.] Considering all the other impossible bullshit this place throws about, it wouldn't surprise me very much to hear even aging works differently. At the very least I can't say I've noticed one way or the other regarding anybody else.
[video]
[...Man, he can't. Shit's really weird.]
...Hm. So how would you prefer it to be?
[video]
[video]
[video]
Do I mean what by what?
[sometimes, lancer. sometimes you're just not that bright.]
[video]
[video]
Well...nah, not so much. Half-human, maybe, but who's really keeping track?
[video]
[video]
Don't suppose you've heard of a guy named Lugh Lámhfhada, have you?
'Demigod' would, I guess, be the proper term for me.
[video]
...That sounds...faerie. [Because where he's from, "Irish" doesn't exist any more but kelpies will still talk your ear off if you let them.]
[video]
Well....technically, I guess that's close enough.
[He'll allow it. Those goddamn kelpies, man.]
Name's Cú Chulainn, by the way. Lancer's more of a nickname.
[video]
Say that again?
[video]
[Awww here it goes.]
What, you can't pronounce it either? Goddamn, I'm gettin' tired of hearing that.
Cú Chulainn. Ain't that hard to say.
[video]
...As in...Setanta? [BULLSHIT]
[video]
[Honestly, talking to him has a tendency to sound like your average negotiation with Setanta...]
[video]
I hear you. [but this is so bullshit] ...I don't suppose you recall ever fighting a fellow by the name of Flynn?
[video]
Flynn...uh...can't say I recognize the name, but I've fought a whole hell of a lot of people.
Re: [video]
[this is still bullshit] ...Then how in-? [Walter rubs his forehead.] Forget death, you're posing the greater question now.
[video]
Okay, kid, what's got you thinking so hard? It's obviously not a simple case of 'but Lancer, that's fairytale bullshit', so what's the problem?
[video]
[Time bullshit? Pshaw, demons are weird to begin with.]
[video]
Sounds to me like it's down to parallel world bullshit. Not too surprising, really.
