so hey i'm Asking For A Friend ;) but how many other immortals are here in the quarantine? any?

also! important question!! what did everyone get told when they got here? what questions did you ask? i wanna know what we're working with! Let's Work Together!

p.s., if you want to answer the first question without a name there are burner phones available at [ small list of locations ] to make unattached accounts. i'm just looking for at least numbers! names would be radical too of course!

what is your definition of immortal and why does your friend seek this knowledge

[aeturnus]

ageless or unkillable or both! solidarity mostly?

[worldsaway]

What of those who are not immortal, but age far slower than the average mortal?

Asgardians are not immortal, though they are very difficult to kill.

[ Angela, that should be a "we." ]

[aeturnus]

you're talking about valhallans? what's that have to do with it?

[ Cain is well-aware with some of the acquaintances he's made but no, he's ANONYMOUSE right now!! ]

[hevenly]

I have not heard that term. What I mean is that, should you want to count Asgardians among your numbers, be aware that they can die.

Everything dies. Some just take longer than others. Or manage it more than once.

[aeturnus]

what makes you say that? even in another dimension??

[idolpire]

It's the way of it. The more something tells you it's immortal, the more likely it's blustering to distract you from that one thing that can kill it. Whole point of immortality is being unable to die. If you die and get resurrected, you're not immortal. You're just on round 2.

[ Avoiding that first question. Nothing to see here. ]

I asked about the portal that brought us here. There's prior research available in the library.

They'll also let you examine it personally.

[aeturnus]

[ Hey, this second question is just as good! ]

that's pretty generous considering they don't know us from Adam! have you taken them up on it?

un: badman | anonimity is for other people

[bloodycrown]

Immortality is relative, but there are a few unaging, 100+ old people. Myself included.

As for the second question, they seem pretty transparent about everything.

[aeturnus]

100+ is a good starting point! is it just the ageless part?

yeah but seeming and being aren't the same, what if everyone just took it as gospel and didn't realize they were getting different answers?

Immortal doesn't really cover my shit but I'm like, pretty fucking old (that's an elf thing) and hard to kill depending on what I've got access to.

[His life is weird]

Also, my dude, if you're gonna ask for people to work with you, doing it anonymously does not inspire confidence.

[aeturnus]

that's cool! we just have humans where i'm from! hard to kill how if it's not to do with your age?

i'm not gonna harsh on anyone for being anonymous back if it's comfortable! just it's dangerous sometimes for this kind of stuff? some people are real jackasses about it! maybe not here but that's also the point of the question, you know?

[greyjane]

are you beating the 'we've been horribly kidnapped' drum as well?

[She's not immortal so... you know, not applicable there.]

[aeturnus]

not necessarily but i don't like going OH OKAY!! so we're just here now? even if they're all above board here maybe what they know means something more to people elsewhere and they don't know to say it?

text; un: GraveMistake

[hellshot]

Depends on your definition of 'immortal'.

Why the hell would someone want to know if there's more of these people around? She planning some sort of unkillable-only party or something. Because drinking poison to prove how immortal you are isn't classy.

[aeturnus]

ageless or unkillable or both! not super picky here

no i think it's a solidarity thing and like, curiosity? because there's no one else where My Friend is from so just how common is it???

[deathkid]

nothing truly lives forever
even immortals gods can die
when the end of the universe comes
only one thing will remain

that said
there are a few gods and demigods here
if that's what you're asking

[aeturnus]

well that remains to be seen unless you've been to the end of the universe? what's the one thing?

but no it's not quite yet I do appreciate it! so they live extra long too?

text; un: youradhere

[buildingcastles]

When you say immortal, could you be a little more specific?

I mean, are we talking ageless god immortal or more like extended rental?

[aeturnus]

i've been going with the definition of ageless or unkillable or both! god or not doesn't super matter

[ Gladio assumes that first one is some kind of inside joke, just doesn't touch it. Actually just... skipping the first two. It's the third point that interests him. ]

burner phones, really?

why do you care about anonymity anyway? got something to hide?

[aeturnus]

i hear immortality's pretty hot these days!! plenty to protect with something like that!

[ Should he have added a tl;dr? ]
