[The post is in text, because he can't imagine trying to discuss this with words or, even less, video. He's not really prepared for that. But he needs to ask.]

I know this is kind of a sensitive topic, but hopefully it's not too much to ask.

Did anyone else here die right before they arrived?

[uh.]

what kind of question is that????

[causational]

Not an easy one, I know. I'm not sure how else to phrase it. But the last thing I remember is dying.

[you are setting off her 'is this a fucking zombie' alarm real good here, broski. Except she's pretty sure the Infected can't use text??? But then again, no one is supposed to be immune, either. Infected know how to use doors and stairs and track movement. Who's to say that something like that can't just fucking keep evolving.

She acknowledges that her sudden fear is completely fucking irrational, but she's still going to flounder in it for a sec.]

dead how? were u shot?

@fatima

[dust_of_life]

Define what "die" means in your lexicon

[causational]

The usual? Heart stops beating, no breathing, no longer conscious...

[dust_of_life]

Permanent?

I know that might be a bizarre question, but I'm quickly learning that not everything means what I think it means

That's why you were in the hospital?

[causational]

Yeah. It was.

....Wanda?

[divulsion]

Oh, sorry, yes. It's Wanda.

[She didn't choose an obvious name like Eddie.]

Are you sure you were dead and not just...very seriously injured?

[ After seeing that username, it's easy for his mind to jump to the Eddie he knows, but Ray ... still doesn't expect him to be alive, after all. ]

Does it count if the world just thinks I'm dead?

[causational]

It's not quite the same thing, no. But it's nice to know I'm not the only one who won't be missed back home.

...ouch. I phrased that poorly. I'm sorry. I meant, won't have gone missing.

r.palmer

This is a shot in the dark but, Ray?

[burntbridges]

Not right before... perhaps a few months, but I don't find the topic sensitive.

Did you?

[causational]

Well, that's good I guess. I mean, that it's not sensitive but.

You've been dead a few months?

@sg.rogers; audio;

[livingsymbol]

What do you mean?

[causational]

I mean that the last thing I remember from home is dying. They revived me when I got here, I guess. I don't exactly remember what happened.

I was just wondering if I was the only one.

[greatcleavage]

Not right before. It's been a while. Why do you ask?

[causational]

You died and came back too?

Just wondering if I was the only one to show up dead here.

[mrterrific]

You died?

[ So yeah, that sure never came up in their earlier conversation. And maybe this isn't the best place to ask about it, but Curtis is just... surprised. Really surprised. ]

[causational]

Yeah, just before I got here, at home.

@formica

[toolatetochangethename]

Don't think so.

Then again, maybe it'd be good to die and not remember it.

Dying's probably pretty terrible.

[causational]

Dying is definitely terrible, I can confirm that.

It would be nice not to remember it.

@d.hale

[duelo]

Not right before. It isn't the last thing I remember, I mean. But I have and I remember it. It isn't pleasant. I'm guessing that's not something you've seen before?

[ Because people coming back from the dead in Beacon Hills is kind of old hat, really, so it's nothing Derek hadn't already experienced before his own evolution and rebirth, so to speak, but not everyone lives in an actual hell like he does, so... ]

[causational]

This seems to be a pretty common theme. People dying, but way before they got here. Starting to wonder if my world is the only one where people stay dead.

If so, damn, did I ever get the short end of the stick.

A couple of times, I guess? Pretty sure at least one of them was because of my sister. She's such a drama queen, I swear.

[causational]

Oh wow, I swear I come from the only world where death is permanent. I feel kind of dumb for thinking it's a big deal now. :(

Also what? Your sister???
