[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.]

in my culture, death sends you to valhalla if you die a righteous death
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

I'm not sure how much I believe them, but at the moment have settled on 'hope for the best but prepare for the worst' as a way of handling things barring finding evidence that our hosts are not what they say they are.

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.

[Ava doesn't know him; Wakanda was a place of myth more than truth, still shrouded in shadow as far as she knew. She isn't Natasha, but there are similarities; the red of her hair, the line of her jaw and the set of her eyes. Albeit hers are a too-bright blue.

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?

So this is absolutely a sign of affection. Really.]

A lot of people have challenged them, pushed hard enough they give different answers.

[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.

Death is a destination, not an end. In my world, the afterlife shapes itself for each person who views it, so that they inhabit their own mind for eternity. It's quite... intimate, to describe your own view of the afterlife.

I'm sure this isn't an afterlife, though. Simply another world to explore.

I don't believe this to be the afterlife. I was pulled into this world after stepping onto a different planet.

You can continue to look for clues, for more hints of inconsistency, and try to figure out a way off this moon yourself.

That sounds beautiful. We are agreed in that if there is any sort of afterlife, it is not this place. Or there would be no walls, and most if not all our people would be here.

( She isn't much of a believer on gods. All her prayers never saved her; she did that herself.

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. )
