[ He has spent a great deal of time considering how in fact he wants to and should introduce himself on this network. Not that computers are any stranger to angels, but as Lucifer he never had much use of them. As a human, though…

It should be easy enough to write a post, shouldn’t it? A simply introduction and a query for new information about this new world he’s found himself in. But what comes flowing out is not worded in the prosaic voice of the ages-old being that he knows himself to be but the irreverent, shit-posting, careless tone of the teenage delinquent that he was until so recently. ]

Pretty sure when old Shakes wrote about there being more thing in heaven and earth than dreamt of in philosophy he didn’t mean whole other universes. Eight year old me would have been thrilled!

On the note of people who have had brushes with death and ghosts, let’s take a poll here: how many of you fully expected you’d never expect anything again before you wound up here? Not to be morbid, but hospitalization or not I’m pretty sure I ought to be dead.

[ He hesitates at the end. It’s not what he intended, but it feels too natural to be denied. Perhaps “Sakuya Kira” is still more alive and well within him than he thought. Then again, this should suit him well enough; until he can ascertain the truth about this place and its denizens, hiding behind that old identity might not be a bad idea. It’s certainly a lot less threatening than “Lucifer.”

He hits post and waits to see who will respond. ]

{ Vincent is too lazy to type up a response - besides technology is crazy for a Victorian. He smiles, seemingly completely at ease with the inquiry. }

I qualify. I witnessed and experienced my death. Arriving here was...strange...to say the least.

{ But it hasn't been entirely unpleasant. }

How did it happen for you?

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ His responses remain text based, un...fortunately. He doesn't mind the videos, though. ]

Sword fight. You?

[earlofphantoms]

{ Videos are fun, aren't they? He enjoys them too. }

Multiple stab wounds, possibly a bullet or two and all of that occurred before the fire.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Well, now. You're a popular fellow, aren't you?

[earlofphantoms]

So it seems. { He sighs, his smile fading somewhat. } My wife and household were also victims on that horrible day.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Family man, huh? Sorry, that sucks.

[earlofphantoms]

I tried to be. { He has some sense that he failed in that regard. } What happened to me was inconsequential to the torture that awaited my children.

should probably be dead too.
maybe.
not a whole lot of people survive having their chest cavity ripped open, but that'd just be my luck.

so yes.
not so bad here.
being not dead or ripped apart or whatever.

good thing medical tech sure has come a long way here.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Yeah, I think that would probably kill even me.

[ The funny thing is that did happen to him, once. And he did die. He's died so, so many times... ]

I got cut in half. Hi5 for us "lucky" fucks.

[circumitus]

have always been rather hard to kill.

[The way his sentence is phrased, it sounds like he is more or less the same.]

cut in half? sounds rough, even for a lucky fuck.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Me too. We should make a club; Undying Bastards Anonymous.

[circumitus]

it'd almost be worth it to see how many people could consider themselves members of such a thing.

I've known more who will return to living at home when they get the opportunity to leave.

Re: text; @altin

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Returning home? Is something like that even a possibility?

[bringbackgold]

Yes. I have known several who did return. My fiance was asked before, as well.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

"Asked?" By whom?

[bringbackgold]

Officials here who work with the portal.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Any clue why they were asked to leave?

[bringbackgold]

He was asked if he wanted to because of how he's contributed here.

as someone who has a LOT of experiences with death and ghosts
i definitely didn't expect to end up here
granted, i'm not dead.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

I thought I'd be in Hades, if I'd actually managed to die this time, personally. There's been a lot of close calls.

[deathkid]

i'd know if your soul had been judged
hades is my father.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

No shit?

[ That sounds kind of strange to him, though. ]

Hades is a place ruled by Uriel where I come from. He never mentioned having a kid. You sure we're talking about the same place?

[deathkid]

i'm talking about both the underworld
where the dead reside
and the greek god.
yes, hades has a kid.
he's had many over the years, but i'm the only one living.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

I think we're talking about different Hades. Not that either one's false, but there's no Greek God presiding it where I'm from. Sounds rough, though, if you're the only one that made it.
