"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.
[DEEP THOUGHTS coming from the lounge with booze.]

So then, you know where the souls go? [Oh what an innocent question.]

[Is he talking an actual life-after-death desert or a metaphorical one? She's not very good with metaphors.]
Video
[That's great because neither is he. The Discworld is a very literal place.]
Video
[Rey likes literal. Literal people are her favorite people.]
Thank you, this is quite helpful.

[There is a small pause. He likes people after all and he does know what getting lost in your own thoughts is like.]
YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO LIKE CATS WOULD YOU?
Video
Don't know...? Haven't spent enough time with any to have much of an opinion.
[Over one hundred years old and she's never had a cat before. Sad.]
Video
AFTER THE NEXT JUMP THE FEW OF US THAT HAVE CATS ARE GETTING TOGETHER IN THE GARDENS. YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US. THERE WILL BE OTHERS WHO DO NOT HAVE CATS OF THEIR OWN COMING.
[Yup, the creepy skeleton personification of Death is a cat
personfan.]Video
Just... may take you up on that. Yes. [Sure. Why not.]
Video
[He sounds very pleased. Yes new people for cat club.]
