Anyone else died before coming here? Or died and woke up here?

Did you wake up feeling everything from you wounds when you got here?
Do you still get phantom pains?
Any memory issues? 
Nightmares?
Hallucinations?

I wasn't too surprised that it hurt. Then again, I was shot in the heart, not the head. I don't think I'd be expecting anything if I was shot in the head, honestly.

Space marine? Like Starship Troopers? Damn.

I'm sorry that happened to you. But space marine sounds like a cool job.

[whosthemonsternow]

Space marine is the best job. Or it was. Shoulda stayed in ODST instead of the Project, that joke did not end well.

But okay. No permanent heart shit going on, then? Cause I lost my right eye and figure it's probably normal for everyone.

[causational]

ODST? Project? Sorry, I've never been in the military. I'm a police Detective.

Not that I know of. I haven't been to the doctor in a while though.

I'm sorry about your eye. I wonder if they'd have the tech to replace it here.

[whosthemonsternow]

Just know I'm a big deal, you don't need to know the specifics.

And yea, I'm gonna look into it. I'm entirely capable of everything with just one eye, but the depth perception being fucked really sucks ass.

[causational]

Ahhh, classified huh? ;)

Well, if you ever need a hand with shooting, I'd be willing to go to the gun range with you.

[whosthemonsternow]

Wouldn't go that far, but when I say "Freelancer" or "space marine" or anything like that, people tend to get confused or not know what I'm talking about.

Wouldn't need a hand with shooting, but won't say no to embarrassing you at a shooting range.

[causational]

Yeah, 'space marine' just makes me think Starship Troopers. Shooting down alien bugs and fighting space wars. Pretty cool.

Embarrassing me? Wow. I do enjoy a challenge though, so you're on. Name a time.

[whosthemonsternow]

Well I'm a hundred times more awesome than a space exterminator. We had real aliens, actual beasts- and people who killed innocent civilians so. More than a cockroach killer.

I'm good for now, or anytime, really.

[causational]

Have you never seen Starship Troopers? They were big, nasty bugs, believe me. You should definitely watch it sometime, it's great.

I'm off work in an hour. What do you say?

[whosthemonsternow]

I did forever ago, when I was a kid, I think. Do you have a holo copy of it here?

Works for me, you wanna bet something or is it just bragging rights when I do better?

[causational]

Sadly no. It's been a mission of mine to find it but no one here has heard of it, usually. Or at least no one who might have a copy I could buy.

Let's do bragging rights for round one, then we can discuss betting.

[whosthemonsternow]

Have you tried the network? Someone's gotta have it somewhere around here.

Aw, okay, I understand, don't want to lose something valuable. That's fine by me

[causational]

I should try that.

Um, no. I just want to get a feel for how good you are first.

[whosthemonsternow]

Couldn't hurt to try

And okay, sure thing pal. If you can make it through the first 'trial' time then, we gotta bet something for the next time

[causational]

You're on.

[whosthemonsternow]

Tell me when

[causational]

Tomorrow after work.
