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!

it does exist though! maybe you'll see it someday!

isn't it weird you're in a place like this quarantine and don't think something could exist?

[idolpire]

Right. And maybe I'll see a unicorn and shag a mermaid.

[Sarcasm, anonymous Cain. Could you taste it?]

Not really. Seen loads of strange things. This ain't the weirdest.

[aeturnus]

with an attitude like that, anything is possible!

[ Yes, it's a little bittersweet. Oh Spike, if only you knew. ]

really? what kind of stuff do you see on the regular?

[idolpire]

[He didn't know who you were, anonymous person, but he was beginning to think you were full of shit.]

Loads of stuff. You ever seen a Fyarl demon? Or a Chaos demon? Or a hellhound? Living on a hellmouth's a hell of a thing.

[aeturnus]

[ Ha! Maybe so. But he's also not lying about the immortal thing. ]

nope never seen any of that! what's a hellmouth? in your terms?

[idolpire]

[Maybe someone just hadn't tried to kill him hard enough. >| ]

Very thin layer between the 'normal' world and a hell dimension. Gates of hell, blah blah.

[aeturnus]

[ Maybe not but once he canonbumps it'll be thoroughly debunked. Poor idiot. ]

so it's like a veil or whatever? that sucks! probably not better than having nothing like that in this case

[idolpire]

Right. Or not. So, there's an answer to your randomly weird question.

[aeturnus]

randomly weird, says the guy who brought up hellmouths in the first place

just means to me you shouldn't assume you've seen everything

[idolpire]

Some things are better assumed. Gives you hope. What's the point in going up against something if you know right out of the gate it can't die?

[aeturnus]

i get your point, guess i just never thought about it that way since it's the other way around for me

[idolpire]

What's that supposed to mean?

[aeturnus]

it's not exactly a good thing if someone decides to come after you and realizes you can't die

kind of the opposite actually

torture. i'm saying it's torture

[idolpire]

I think being completely immortal would take the fun out of life. Take vampires. We can live forever, sure, but we can also die. Makes the fun that much more fun.

[aeturnus]

yeah sometimes there's just no point to getting out of bed because you can go experience life some other time or just skip a century or whatever

but at least there's always something new happening if you go looking for it

[ When you're the only thing that lasts forever, sticking your head in the sand isn't possible. Too much change and difference and eventually you get sucked up in it anyway. Definitely part of why he's asking after other people who might understand. ]

[idolpire]

Leaps and bounds. Wouldn't have come across some of the trouble I've had a century ago.

[aeturnus]

technology and the internet are awesome but seriously suck for keeping your face secret!

[idolpire]

Dunno. It's easy enough to brush it off as being related. Seen loads of people pass themselves off as their own kin. Seen enough family resemblances for that to be doable.

[aeturnus]

there's that but i'd find it really awkward to pretend being my own kids' brother or cousin or something

[ It's already hard enough having Cain as a parent, much less having him stick around related to them in another fashion. And to be his own nephew he'd have to give his identities a sibling and that... well, it's just not something he's desperate enough to do yet. ]

[idolpire]

But still doable. I knew plenty of types that after a bit would go off and move to a new place and say they were Bobby jr or something. Dad died in a fire, boo hoo, wow you certainly have his eyes.

[aeturnus]

you ever do that yourself?

[idolpire]

No. No need to. I never tried to play at being human.

[aeturnus]

wouldn't that put you in way more danger than necessary?

[idolpire]

What? Playing human?

[aeturnus]

not hiding so much
