first spell.

[bitchcrafting]

a friend of mine once said that being dead... it was like nothing. there was just darkness on the other side. like if you closed your eyes and could never open them again. so then i thought, maybe this is hell-- but then, i've been to hell-- visited hell, i mean, and no way this is it.

so where are we supposed to be? heaven? 'cause if heaven is supposed to be a bad sci-fi movie, where god's played by alec guinness and E.T is jesus....then that's just weird. too freaking weird, and i'm used to weird.

you guys have probably heard all of this over and over again. newbie falls out of the jelly tube, tries to understand what's going on, and totally gets it wrong. sorry. but since i'm stuck here for the time being, i'd like to make myself useful ... i mean, i can't pilot a ship or fix an engine, but i'm sure i could find a way to help.

okay, totally rambling now-- [ and then the line cuts. ]

It sure as fuck isn't Heaven. I'd say, if it IS the afterlife, it's some kind of shitty in between.

[ Considering October's dead back home, she's not 100% sure if this is the afterlife or not. But it's a possibility. All she knows is that there's no way in hell this is Heaven; it can't be. ]

purgatory or limbo, you mean? i'm kind of hoping at this point that we're just on a space adventure.

space adventure i can deal with

[gothchicklit]

Yeah, that's what I mean. But it's possible it could be both. There are plenty of dead people on board.

[bitchcrafting]

but are they really dead? i mean, if their body's alive they can't be dead, right?

[gothchicklit]

That depends. Do you consider zombies to be alive or dead?

[bitchcrafting]

dead.

but zombies rot. their hearts don't beat. they're still dead.

[gothchicklit]

[ Well, that's a good argument for October not counting as a zombie. ]

Right. I guess if that's not the case, then whatever the hell brought us here managed to do it literally seconds - maybe even milliseconds - before those of us who are dead back home actually, 100% died. So yeah, I guess we could count as alive if looked at that way.

[bitchcrafting]

or maybe this place brought people back to life.

[gothchicklit]

I think I like that option better. And considering that the goo shit in the couches has healing properties, it's not exactly a stretch.

[bitchcrafting]

if that's the case, how do you think they do it?

[gothchicklit]

Some kind of crazy, space-aged magic? They offer sacrifices to gods? I honestly have no idea.

[bitchcrafting]

whatever it is, i don't think we want to fuck with them. the people--things-- whatever that brought us here.

[gothchicklit]

No argument on that from me. The less shit we deal with here, the better.
