If an existence's sole purpose is to serve as anti-existence to another existence, would the elimination of one existence also be the end of the other? If there is nothing to be the anti- of, after achieving the goal of eliminiation, what will be left?

I've never died before--- that I can remember, I guess I could have the first time I was here--- but I came close on several occasions in my own world.

It seems kind of silly to bet on something like that. Unless you were all in different positions when you jumped, you would've landed at the same time.

Dying isn't all that exciting. Especially here, when you just come back as if nothing happened.

We weren't really betting on who hit the ground first. It was to see who would revive first, although that might be the same as well. I'm just curious how things work here.

It seems that way. Kind of takes the thrill out of the whole thing.

Aha. There doesn't seem to be any real pattern or structure. Chaos theory. Although to be fair, there are patterns in chaos.

I still don't understand why anyone mourns when someone 'dies' here. It isn't necessary.

Chaos. It would be interesting to see just how Purgatorium works. There seem to be a lot of strange things around and yet no one really cares to notice. I wonder why.

There could be a chance that the time they die is the last time. Not very likely, but still a chance. Although even then, they'll probably show up again sooner or later.

One of my powers is to see how things work. I've only had them back for a brief time, but I have yet to discern anything.

I can understand mourning when they don't return, but if that is the only reason people mourn they might as well wait their three days and see if things go back to normal and then start to worry, if their beloved ones haven't revived by then. You'd think people had that much common sense if nothing else.

Really. That is... a very interesting power.

You have a point. But people in general tend to be frantic. Stupid.

Really. It is.

You have no idea how pleased I am to see someone agreeing with me on this.

I'm intrigued.

I guess today's your lucky day.

I don't know what else there is to say about it. I see how things work, what makes them... tick. I instinctively know what's broken, and how to fix it.

[identity profile] citrinitas-668.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Lucky day indeed.

That's... quite useful. I'm almost envious.

[identity profile] ttlymostspecial.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
What can I say? I'm truly blessed.

[identity profile] citrinitas-668.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine such a blessing can become a curse eventually.

I have yet to find a disadvantage to this particular skill.

[identity profile] citrinitas-668.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
The skill itself might never be a disadvantage but the consequences of using it.

[identity profile] citrinitas-668.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't know. Using a skill too much might attract unwanted attention. And no matter what powers you possess, there is always the possibility of being overpowered by the sheer number of envious people.

[identity profile] ttlymostspecial.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ah ha ha, Citrine, you see, that won't happen. I'm one of those envious people.

[identity profile] citrinitas-668.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? But even then you aren't the only one.

[identity profile] ttlymostspecial.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe not. But I'm the best one.

[identity profile] galacticboss.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
How things work?

Such as the world?

[identity profile] galacticboss.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Good, good.

There is no place to conduct research here; no stories of the beginning, no statues, no fossils, no mountains. Another way has to be found. Even power is limited; a new source for a new world, of course. It cannot be allowed to exist in this broken state. No, intervention must be made.

[identity profile] ttlymostspecial.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
You're quite the character.

[identity profile] galacticboss.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
My own status is irrelevant. The world I create will not run on illogics such as emotion.
