QUESTION.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ALL THE DEATH BULLSHIT WE'VE BEEN FORCED TO DEAL WITH LATELY?
EVERYONE WHO DIED CAME RIGHT BACK, RIGHT?
MORTALITY HAS NEVER BEEN AS DRIVING OF A FORCE FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT HERE.
IT'S COMPLETELY OBLITERATED NOW.
WE CAN DIE AND JUST COME RIGHT BACK.
OR DO YOU THINK THE GODS JUST DID THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE "SORRY" FOR PUTTING US THROUGH IT?
LET ME TAKE A STEP IN THE DANGEROUS DIRECTION OF LOOKING LIKE I CARE AND ASK:
HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?

It doesn't. [sup Helmate? No really this is his honest answer.]

Shall we say they extend their graciousness further and allow us to die without consequence; what of it? Seems awfully suspicious to begin with. The idea there's no strings attached is ludicrous.

I've died and returned to life again and again. It's overrated. Suppose if people want to be completely stupid we can't stop them at any rate.

Alright, just for the record...Dying still sucks. Like, it really, really sucks.

I mean, I may not have anything to compare it to, and it may seem like it's really no big deal as long as we come back afterwards...but it's not just like breaking your leg and being in the hospital for a few days.

It fucks with you, you know?

You can't let yourself die just because death isn't permanent. Even if you have to struggle to stay alive, the ones that survive are the winners. That's what I've been told.

[... She doesn't feel good commenting to such an aggressive post.

However, the memories of what happened to Rose resurface cruelly in her mind, and perhaps she needs more of an outlet than anything. So she gets this one chance.]


It's... terrible. I d-don't like this, the f-fact they can come back doesn't c-cancel the trauma and the bad memories...

It's awful, b-but at least it's a little b-better than have loved one disappear i-into nothing all of a sudden. [She remembers of what Nanako told her about her dad. :C]

But its not what you think. Though, I'm the last person you'd wanna ask.

[personal profile] firststep 2012-04-02 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Urm. I can't say I really have experience with dying myself. Just a lot of deaths experienced vicariously, but

I dunno, I'm more familiar with the whole death and what happens after than a lot of people are where I'm from so the idea of people just being able to come back because the gods say so is really weird. Cheapening, I guess? And people don't usually ever come back entirely when they do, because dying takes away a little bit of you always, but maybe that doesn't apply here too

I guess I'm trying to say that even if people can come back, they shouldn't have let people die like that because it's not as if it's going to take away the feeling of dying to begin with.

It simply allows for death to be used as another punishment without permanent consequences. It's no less serious an event for the individual who suffers it, but it can be done to them again and again.

The answer is that they were probably bored and figured killing a few people might spice things up. The bonus is that they get to have another round of laughter every time someone decides to test out what they believe to be is their new-found immortality.

[this lazy mofo don't know nothin' about no typin']

Think about it tactically-- they brought us here to fight some war, right?

[he gestures like that should explain it even though he knows it probably doesn't. let's continue then]

Death isn't fun. I've never done it, but by all accounts it's messy, painful and it's pretty traumatizing. Plus when you're gone, so's everything you know - here, that'd be everything we learned about the enemies, the lay of the land, how to control these powers they gave us.

So they make it so they don't go losing troops whenever someone's outclassed in a fight, and they make their failures into a learning experiences. Nothing teaches you not to get shot like getting shot, after all.

I hardly think that it's because they're "sorry". But no matter how you look at it, immortality makes things easier, right? You don't have to worry about risking your life anymore. And if all that talk about a war is really true, then immortal soldiers are better than mortal ones. And as for me personally, well, it makes little to no difference.
