[recollecters]

Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them. That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

it's okay. death doesn't kill you here anyway.

i'm still only paying half my bill when I eat tonight tho.

[livingimpaired]

I'm sorry? Death doesn't kill you?

That is fine. I don't like taking money from those in need.

[foeyay]

yes, that is what i typed. good job.

it's just another of the crazy superpowers people get in this backwards shitshow of a city.

[livingimpaired]

Thank you. I am equally happy I am somewhat literate.

Though, what you've just written has made me somewhat unhappy.

[foeyay]

are you secretly a necrophiliac??

because if you aren't, i don't get it.

[livingimpaired]

Sadly, no.
I suppose that would make more sense, hm?

Allow me to explain through a question: why is death important?

[foeyay]

it gives you something to fight.

[livingimpaired]

I see.
That is what it is to you.

The reason why death is important to me is simply due to my morals.

But if I put it in other words, my life is my life, and I dislike the idea of being gifted second chances that I have not earned.

[foeyay]

that's pretty stupid coming from a guy who runs a clinic. but you're right. it's your life. guess you can always just keep killing yourself til it sticks.

[livingimpaired]

You are not incorrect with that statement.
But allow me to put it another way in order to redeem myself some.
The lives we have our precious and filled with meaning.
I would rather death not be cheapened and lives also cheapened as a result.

[This answer makes even less sense to Kamui than the first, and he sits there staring at it for some time before deciding he doesn't want to think about it anymore.]

well as long as you don't die, it won't be a problem.

[ Sigh. This boy. ]

Fair.

[livingimpaired]

So, have you been well and stayed marginally out of trouble?

[foeyay]

the answer to one of those questions is yes.

[livingimpaired]

I am going to hope it is the former, then. I realize that is irresponsible of me, but I'd rather you be well than not.

[foeyay]

you and way too many other people for some weird reason.

that's fine tho. i don't hate idiots. especially ones with food.

[livingimpaired]

Thank you for your kindness and consideration.
Does that mean I am loved?

[foeyay]

your hands are i guess.

[livingimpaired]

I would ask you not to say misleading things but that is pointless.
Instead I will just say "thank you."

[foeyay]

boo. you catch on too fast. it's boring.

[livingimpaired]

I'm sorry.
I'm told my sharpness is always troublesome for everyone.

[foeyay]

apologizing for that makes it even worse. now i feel like i lost or something.

[livingimpaired]

Well, did you?

[foeyay]

there was nothing to lose!

[livingimpaired]

Dignity? Self-respect?
