[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 don't mind sharing. One moment.

[She'll just swiiiitch it to private, in case Ivar runs across this and puts two and two together.]

You must first understand that I am a magician - a necromancer, to be precise. I can move my soul from the living world to that of the dead, but it leaves my body unprotected. I made a mistake when I was younger, and the house caught fire while I was visiting the dead. It trapped me in the afterlife.

[She's had a lot of time to get over it - probably over two years by now - so she doesn't at all seem bothered by it. In fact she seems almost offensively casual about it.]

It's been a while since I've spoken about it, but I remember Riverview being a good place for open minds. I hope my abilities don't scare you.

I can - the afterlife here isn't quite the same as what I'm used to, but I can visit those who were born and died in this world, and I can speak to corpses. I can even teach others to do the same, if they're curious.

Unfortunately, though, anyone who dies and isn't native to this world goes back to their own afterlife. It makes the afterlife here rather barren.
