I was shot in the face and died but woke up here so. Kinda both probably? Dead and alive.

Helpful, I know. The at home you is proooobably dead as hell, but this place is pretty great once you get over the 'holy fuck I'm dead but not dead but not a zombie or a Jesus so what the fuck' part of things.

Also, you can get your own place eventually. I was in the guard barracks for a while, not bad, only one roomie at most, but you gotta be a guard to get in there I think.

Also best animal is either a coyote or hyena if you go by Earth animals.
