...it doesn't make sense.

Death doesn't make sense here. What kind of...

My head hurts...the dead return, but...the missing do not...

-a pause...and an odd noise-

Shut up, I'm not talking to you. Laugh all you want

....I don't think there's anything to laugh at.

[voice;english]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...this one always thinks it's funny when I'm confused.

[voice;english]

[ladys-grace.livejournal.com]

'This one'?

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Who's laughing?

[angelic-lawyer.livejournal.com]

There are many who think that those who go missing from here are returned to their own worlds. Those who return here from their worlds seem to back that claim up.

[voice;english]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it, it's nothing.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

It's nothing.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

And those who are already dead?

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

If... you say so.

But... that's pretty much the idea. It doesn't make either ending any less depressing, as long as you're not the one complaining about everyone else being human.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I'm only human myself.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

I wasn't pointing any fingers. That sort of thing is pointless anyway.

You gonna be all right, Tir?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I just need a distraction...and I can't fish here.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Mmn... with the lake blocked off, I guess there's not much that can be done about that. The forest is supposed to be off-limits with those Reavers too.

[He thinks for a moment.] Come with me on a supply run sometime.

I'd offer up the chance to help me look for something in the hospital, but... I don't think you want to be there right now.

[voice;english]

[ladys-grace.livejournal.com]

Ok... if you say so.

[angelic-lawyer.livejournal.com]

No one knows what happens to them. Presumably, they return to death, of if you're a believer in such things, the afterlife.

[voice;english]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I don't mean to sound cold, it's just...something I'd rather not talk about.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Maybe...thank you for the offer, Soul.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

....the afterlife.

[voice;english]

[ladys-grace.livejournal.com]

No, it's all right.

We all have things we don't want to talk about.

[voice;english]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I have a pretty close connection with...the very nature of life and death. Let's put it that way.

[angelic-lawyer.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

[voice;english]

[ladys-grace.livejournal.com]

Oh!

I'm... not really sure if I understand what that means.

[voice;english]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

As I said before, it's nothing to worry over...and I'm no good at explaining it.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Nothing. Don't worry about it.

[Voice]

[inner-sandman.livejournal.com]

The missing?

[whitenoisenurse.livejournal.com]

What happens to the missing people?

[Voice]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Sorry, just...musing to myself, really.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Some seem to think they "return home". It could be something else...

[Voice]

[inner-sandman.livejournal.com]

......

You were talking to yourself?

[Voice]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

what? No! I just...nevermind
