[T'Challa does not put on the Panther Habit for his first post to the network, preferring to keep the two identities separate for as long as possible. For the duration of his stay, if he can manage it, though it's not he who would tell the others. He cannot vouch for the people from his own world that are here. Not all of them, at least.
He angles his device to capture his face and very little of his surroundings.]
In my culture, death is not the end. It's more of a stepping off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into the green veld where... you can run forever.
[He'd been told upon his arrival, after many questions, that he was here because he'd felt displaced. While that had not necessarily been true, the thought that this place was something other than what it seemed had crossed his mind. The afterlife possibly, though he did not recall dying - his beliefs dashed that notion rather quickly.]
So this cannot be life after death. Do you accept the answers you have been given or do you challenge them? What was the outcome of such action?
[The feed ends there. It's enough of a start to generate conversation.]

i'm about 99% sure this isn't valhalla
but if it is it's bullshit
anyway i'm good believing them until proven otherwise

[This place didn't resemble any likeness of Valhalla he'd learned of, so he was inclined to agree.]
You trust very easily then.
That is not necessarily a negative quality.

Acceptance, as you describe it, would appear to require time. I am a patient man but it is not myself that would be affected by waiting.

If this was the afterlife, I'm reasonably sure it wouldn't be this...weird.
[Or not. What does he know? Religion's never been a major focus. It's really not what the point of this is about, anyway.]
And when did you get here, Your Highness?
no subject
The afterlife is - personal. What it is to me, it might not be to you. [Religion and beliefs were subjective. T'Challa would not make assumptions but he would stick to what he felt was true.] But I do not think it would be this.. weird.
[He smiles, politely and with a hint of amusement.]
T'Challa, Mr. Stark. Today and yourself?

I'm reasonably sure we're not dead, though. Not enough demons and eldritch beings trying to tear strips out of my hide for this to be death.
no subject
In your afterlife there would be demons? That is not a very peaceful belief.

But his question, and the phrasing, and the idea of running forever was an interesting one.]
I don't believe this to be a place of death, no.
As far as I've seen, things seem to align with what they tell us, and people seem to believe the things they say.
There are people that have chosen to return through the portal when it was made available. The truth of where they go is admittedly difficult to prove, but their talk of sending people home when the portal stabilizes don't seem to be empty.
You're new here?
no subject
If what they say aligns with what happens, then they do not give us reason to question their motives.
[The second to last comment is an uncomfortable one and if he had Wakandan technology, he would help them to fix their portals. He may still be able to.]
I am. Have you been here long?

[He doesn't seem too disturbed by that, though.]
Fairly certain this place isn't any form of afterlife, not enough people came here from the moment of their death for that theory to really stick, I don't think. It's been asked a few times already, though.
It also ties into some of the explanations people have come up with for arriving here. If the portal brings in the displaced, couldn't the desire to be anywhere else trigger it to bring you instead? It's almost self-preservation, in a way.
no subject
We might not know that we have died. It's not something we could truly understand unless it's happened to us.
But I did not want to be anywhere else than where I was. I was home, with my people. Why would a portal only bring those here who longed to be elsewhere? It's a strange characteristic.

I don't think this is the afterlife. We're agreed: it wouldn't be like this.
[He has no intention of admitting that he knows from experience, but the suggestion that it might be still rattles him.]
Who are Bast and Sekhmet?
no subject
The other destruction.
Both are necessary and they will be there to welcome us after death.

Well, thank the Maker for that. I never planned on dying here, and I was in no position to do so in my homeworld, either. This being something other than an afterlife is quite a relief.
[He pauses for a moment though.]
So...your idea of "Heaven" is...running forever through verdant fields of green? Intriguing. You don't look like a lion.
no subject
Are lions all that can find peace in such a way?

I like to challenge anything, if given the chance.

Why do you like to challenge everything?

You can continue to look for clues, for more hints of inconsistency, and try to figure out a way off this moon yourself.
Better than waiting for something else to happen.

They have told me that some arrive here from death or out of a feeling of displacement. It is possible that you hit your head and this is your afterlife.

( She isn't much of a believer on gods. All her prayers never saved her; she did that herself.
Dany tilts her head, eyes narrowed in thought. )
No. And this place could very well all be a beautiful lie; I've been to a place like that before. These people could very well need help; but the least they might do is appeal for it.
( Rather than kidnapping them, or putting their own needs over the duties and struggles and desires of others. Will the Night King wait? She already knows that answer. )

[T'Challa takes a moment to respond, head tipped down in thought.]
I am more certain now that this is not life after death. I would have my father here with me if it were.
Have they not asked for help?

It's good to see you T'Challa.

As for me, after nine months here, I'm inclined to believe what I've been told.
