I suppose this is a question that has been asked before, but not in my (admittedly brief) time here. I apologise if it's a subject that comes up entirely too often, but it's one that I've been curious about for quite some time now. It's also a delicate topic, I know, so feel free to reply privately if you feel uncomfortable talking about it. Or don't reply at all. That's fine, too.

[It's certainly a difficult subject for her to talk about at times. That's why this is in text, rather than voice or video. But getting to the point...]

Who among the Travellers is dead back home? Not in some nebulous future 'everyone dies eventually' sort of way, but something rather more immediate, in that you died just before coming here. What do you expect will happen when you leave Asgard? Do deceased Travellers simply return to being deceased? Is there some sort of afterlife in your world?

[She remembers all too well Owen and Suzie mentioning the darkness that's all that exists after death. It's something that's kept her up at night more than a few times.]

I don't ask this for the sake of any sort of theological debate, mind, but out of curiosity. I don't personally subscribe to any particular system of belief, but I respect those held by others. I just want to know what you think will happen.

Sure do! The guy who disemboweled me left them for me to find. Pretty sweet, huh?

But is it really cruel when they won't know any better? They'll be DEAD. Hard to complain about what jerks those gods are, teasing them with a new chance of life, when you're nothing but a bit of worm food!

I'm not entirely certain 'sweet' is the word I would use to describe being disemboweled.

All right, I suppose that's a logical argument to make. You're awfully cheerful about these things, aren't you? Being 'worm food' and all that.

'Awesome' would also work, you're right. 'Amazing' too.

Am I? I guess so! But dead things are great, I don't get the stigma against them! But you must be interested in it too, if you're asking about dead stuff.

[sadandsingle]

...I do hope you weren't conscious when it happened, because that really doesn't seem awesome at all.

Well, I'm not sure I'd call them great, but death is an inevitable part of life. Really, though, I was more curious for the people I know from my own world who've died than anything else.

Only at the beginning. I wish I'd had better stamina to watch the whole thing, but I kind of died partway through. Maybe next time!

But yeah, your friends are still totally dead though. But hey, if they're here now that's better than nothing, right?
