[ i. text ] got a knife to disengage the voids that i can't bear...

[ trish has been debating all day whether or not to send a message. at first it was going to be a video, but then as soon as she had gone to create the message she had started to cry, and then her eyes got swollen and well... at least no one can see how badly her hands are shaking. ]

First off, I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Trish and I'm new. I have a question, which may sound strange.

Did anybody else die before coming here? Or was dying before they found themselves here? Or anything similar?

Just you know...general curiosity about how this place works.

[ liar, liar, pants on fire. ]

Don't guess.

Um. [ beat. she really wishes she phrased her questions differently, since well... she's not sure if she wants people to know about the dead thing. but then...she doesn't have to tell them about the murdered thing right? ] I was dead...or dying before I got here.

[Riddick can understand her reluctance to give information like this out, but she'd tripped up in giving too much away from the start, and he's going to press for as much detail as he can. There were a lot of dead people he wouldn't welcome seeing again.]

How?

[ there is an audible pause, and she swallows a few times, before continuing in a shaky voice. ]

My fiancé he - it was supposed to be our wedding, but then people started dying. They were murdered. Then, killed me too.

[It's not every day you talk to someone who's died. He doesn't say I'm sorry, because sorries are a waste of time, as far as he's concerned, and they're not going to make anything better for her. But there is something like sympathy in his voice when he speaks again.]

Bad way to go.

[ there is another pause. talking about this is so strange. it's almost like talking about a movie, except it's not because trish remembers how much getting stabbed hurt. ]

Yeah. [ she makes a sound which sounds like a choked laugh. ] Can't say I recommend it.

[20mentholkools]

Ship might be the right place for you, then.

[He can't say he likes the idea of people being resurrected, but it isn't like he has any control over it. If she's here already, she might as well make the most of it.]

So long as you learn from it.

[So long as she doesn't get killed again.]

voice;

[appraysen]

Maybe. [ pause. god this is awkward. ] Have you been here long?

voice;

[20mentholkools]

Been around a month now.

voice;

[appraysen]

...does it get easier?

voice;

[20mentholkools]

You're talking to the wrong man for that one. I've never done easy.
