[The video feed opens up to panning between two rooms in Baldr house - 201 and 203 specifically.  They're refurnished to fit his preference, aka pretty classy, rich guy stuff, as he would put it himself.  Don't ask how he got it.  Just.  Don't.]

Hey, so I'm cleaning up these rooms, trying to make 'em into one big one for myself.  Anyone wanna help me tear down this wall?  Uh, someone who can make keys would be pretty good too.  Have to pick the lock every time I want to get in.  It's not like anybody's using them, so it's fine if I do, right?

Maybe I should be advertising my sweet bachelor pad for the lonely women of Asgard, heheh. [He grins. It's only half-joking...] Haven't had a dry spell since I was about fifteen, geez...

Anyway, hey, Ange, you get bored of staying with those freaks in your house, come hang out with your old man!  Nobody ever visits me, it's not like I'm in a home.

Yes. Please be very careful. [ Don't feed him with your paranoia, Hanako... ]

[Audio]

[gunsgoldgirls]

If I die, you know what happened.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

If you die, you're going to come back alive one hour later... [ Uh. ] So I wouldn't know about that.

[Audio]

[gunsgoldgirls]

...Oh. Really?

[Yeah, he doesn't pay attention to these things.]

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Yes... it's what you'd call... "cheap", I think. But it doesn't make it any less terrible...

[Audio]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Cheap? You mean like getting off easy?

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

I... don't think it's that easy either. The fact still says that you died.

[Audio]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Sure, but it could be way worse, right? Staying dead'd suck more. Besides, I already died, it's no big deal by now.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

... Then why did you sound worried, before?

Re: [Audio]

[gunsgoldgirls]

'Cause now I know I'll just come back. It'd be scary if I was just gonna die. But now it's just like before, I died and ended up here. Maybe I'll die again, but I'll just wake up in a bit.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

... Doesn't death scare you at all?

[Audio]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Of course it does. But it's different if I'm just coming right back. It was scary when it happened before, I was fighting for my life, you know. But like this it's not so bad, might hurt, that's about it.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

... I can't say I am able to understand that.

Re: [Audio]

[gunsgoldgirls]

It's just not a big deal if it's like there's no consequence. Affects you about as much as tripping, right?

[burntviolet]

I don't think that's a good comparison to make...

[gunsgoldgirls]

Sure it is, it's like a slap on the wrist if you just wake up in an hour. It's like you're invincible.

[burntviolet]

Death is still death to me, no matter how many times you can die here.

I wouldn't even want to know what'd happen if one dies too many times... [ Just a thought here. ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Wait, you mean there's a limit?

[burntviolet]

I don't know about that, it's just an assumption... But I wouldn't test it if I were you...

[gunsgoldgirls]

Why should there be a limit? That doesn't even make sense! If they can do it once, they can do it a hundred times!

[burntviolet]

There may be a limit just like the powers people have lost upon coming here... I wouldn't try that out.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Yeah but it's not like they could use them for a while and then they suddenly stopped, right? It's way different!

[burntviolet]

... What if you end up losing memories and... such?

[gunsgoldgirls]

...Ah? What kind of memories?

[That...could be bad, yes...]

[burntviolet]

I wouldn't know about that. Maybe the memories you've gotten in this place, or... before that. [ Unwittingly scaring you again. Uwoooo. ]
