Levi

[Despite the rather serious reason for his broadcast, Levi addresses the network at large with the same vaguely irritated expression he might wear while complaining about someone leaving the milk out or sweeping filth under a rug instead of cleaning it properly. He's going for 'inconvenienced' instead of 'concerned', a specialty of his... Or maybe his face is just stuck like that, who even knows anymore?

In any case, though he isn't really a huge fan of asking for help- which is what this feels like to him even if it's a pretty simple request all things considered- going through the archives hasn't been particularly enlightening and that's left him with little choice than to utilize another tactic. Let it never be said that he can't adapt...

Anyway, he'll be brief- no introductions or small talk because ain't nobody got time for that:]


I have a few questions for those of you who've been stuck in those shitty tubes for longer than just what it takes to get through the Jump.

[He knows by now that that's a Thing, at least, but the details either don't exist or aren't in a place he can find them given his limited tech-savvyness, and that isn't acceptable. It's important he know what to expect.]

What was your experience like? How long did it last? [There's a short pause before the last question, and Levi's brows knit together even further.] ...And was there anything you needed when it finally spat you back out?

[...Other than a month's worth of showers, of course. That's a given.]

Secondhand accounts are fine, too. [Casting a wide net, here- he needs all the info he can get.] Either way, if this is something you'd rather discuss in person, I'll be in the kitchen on the tenth floor for a while.

"People tend to believe in something, whether it's gods, a god, some sort of afterlife or nothing at all. Nothing can be something, can't it?

"In any case, the belief in the soul and that it goes somewhere after the body dies has surprisingly been a subject of interest these last few years. Is the soul a thing that is natural, and can it be created out of something that is unnatural?

"What happens to the vessel once it's no longer occupied by whatever makes you you?"

['You are a vessel. You are born to die.' Those were among the first words she's ever heard, and yet the connotation behind them are unsettling for her now.]

"Is there any place like a Heaven or a Hell for a thing that's not born but made by a person, or is it more likely that we just disappear entirely once the vessel dies?"

[Death had never been a scary prospect for her before. Not when she had something that she wanted to live and die for. She almost misses being empty, when she didn't have to worry about the things she would leave in the likely events of her eventual demise. Everything has an expiration date, after all.
