[Sorry housemates at Heropa 11, Eleanor has found the tequila and she's sitting at the table, a half-empty bottle in front of her.

It's been a long eternity and she needs her friends and a drink. Her friends aren't here so she'll settle for drinking instead while she tries to wrap her mind around what was happening.]

Ok so hands up- who else here is dead? I'm not the only one right?

[She raises her own hand in the air, picking up the bottle with her other hand.]

I've never done the whole superhero thing before- it can't be too difficult, right?

[She took another drink of tequila straight from the bottle before setting it aside. No pulling a classic Shellstrop by getting drunk and making a spectacle of herself this time.

She's got this. She's better than that.]

I gotta say my superpower rocks. I couldn't do this before.

[The video cuts off as a few pieces of jumbo shrimp appear in her hand. Yum.]

You're dead? For real?

[forkingbullshirt]

For real.

It's been...something, that's for sure.

[353]

Sorry you died... What happened? [ Maybe inappropriate to ask, like a woman's age, but he's thirteen and lacks tact sometimes. ]

[forkingbullshirt]

[She has to admit she's not sorry- it turned out the afterlife had been better than her life when she was alive.]

I think you're a little young for that story.

[Even she has a general idea of what's age appropriate. Generally.]

Let's just say, it wasn't my finest moment.

[herrstory]

You can summon....shrimp.

[ Starr is Very Unimpressed. ]

video;

[forkingbullshirt]

Damn straight.

[She hears that tone, you're not getting any shrimp now.

She stares straight ahead at the camera as she puts another piece of shrimp in her mouth, daring him to diss her cool power.]

All I need is the sauce now.

[hairswirls]

I'm pretty sure I died back home, though I'm not really sure. I've also never done the super hero thing to be honest, but it does seem interesting.

( more interesting than being dead, that's for sure. )

Are you sure you died? What happened if you don't mind me asking.

( video )

[forkingbullshirt]

Where did you end up? I mean, other than here.

[She was curious if there was anyone from the Good Place here- or if this was just her.]

Pretty sure- not sure for how long though.

video.

[admemoriam]

I am!

[Said by someone nearly as small and just as blonde, holding a garishly colored wine cooler.]

video.

[forkingbullshirt]

So where did you end up? Up or down?

[Other than her friends, she had never met any other humans in the afterlife. She was curious to see if there were others who had been in the Bad or Good Place.]

[fridgeflower]

Being dead isn't wholly uncommon, no. Though... Well, you seem very casual about it. I guess that's not bad.

[ Anywho... ]

Can you summon different sorts of shrimp? Is it only shrimp?

video;

[forkingbullshirt]

I've had a while to get used to it.

[And she has to admit that the afterlife has been much better than her life on Earth had been.]

So far, only shrimp. Kinda missing some sauce to go with them.

[lempereur]

Can you summon living shrimp?

[ The most important part of this. ]

video;

[forkingbullshirt]

Huh. I've never tried actually?

[She takes a deep breath. Ok, how hard can this be?

But instead of living shrimp, a few tiny dead shrimp rain down in front of her.]

[ Video ]

[autorejoin]

[ Here's a teenager with a bleach job waving at the screen. ]

Oh, I know the answer to this one! I'm super dead.

[ Video ]

[forkingbullshirt]

Super dead- how do you get super dead?

[onlydoubts]

[ yeah he was gonna actually reply to the dead part of the message, but first - ]

Your power is to... summon shrimp?

video »

[forkingbullshirt]

Pretty cool, isn't it?

[It's the best super power ever, Bodhi.]

Want some?

[See, she can be selfless and share!]

video

[granddevil]

Is being dead that important? Do you want to form a club or something?

video

[forkingbullshirt]

Why not? It's not a bad idea.

[Hey, it worked once.

...and that's a lot coming from someone who had refused to participate in groups before.]

VIDEO.

[selfconducts]

Definitely not the only one. As you've probably figured out by now. [ Plenty of dead'uns chiming in, after all. ] And then some of us are only nearly dead. You're in good company either way.

[ Somehow, even that vaguely morbid sentiment sounds like amiable conversation in his charming London accent. He's good at banter. ]

It's only difficult if you mean to take it seriously.

VIDEO.

[forkingbullshirt]

This isn't a test of how heroic we can be, if we'll save the world or not?

[She still doesn't believe that Michael and the Judge aren't behind this just yet. After her time in the afterlife, she finds it more difficult she could be alive once more.]

Nearly dead? How do you be nearly dead?

[bookkeeper]

I should be dead, does that count? This place has weird ressurection rules, but they make it happen. Somehow. Sorry, though, about you being uh, dead. Back home.

[ That really sucks. And they'd been so worried about Elena possibly being in that boat for the longest time. ]

Uh, woah. Your superpower involves shrimp?

[forkingbullshirt]

Hey, close enough.

[She had read about the nanites, it threw her a bit but it was something that she was still processing.]

Yep, pretty cool, isn't it?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

I died on my world.

[She glances at the shrimp.]

Is that your power? Making food appear?

video

[forkingbullshirt]

[She raised the bottle of tequila in a toast of solidarity.]

Just shrimp, which is pretty awesome. Best superpower.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Is that your only newfound power?

[You can't just ask people about their powers, Chilton!!]

[forkingbullshirt]

[You might as well asked her weight and age!!!!]

Well, I can't say fork but that's not a forking power. That's just forking unfair.

Video;

[notgood]

You can make shrimp cocktails for a power?

[A pause.]

Incredible.

[He loves it, tbh.]

Video;

[forkingbullshirt]

Right? No one else seems to appreciate how awesome this is.

[inthequiet]

Holy shit, that's a really cool power. I've never even thought about that as a possibility but now I'm full of jealousy.

[forkingbullshirt]

I guess whoever is in charge here really was looking out for me.

Did you get any good powers?

[liverletdie]

So, do you mean dead as in "have died", or dead as in currently dead.

Those are two very different questions.

[forkingbullshirt]

You know, I'm not quite sure.

[This this life? Is this some other neighborhood? She has no idea.]

Isn't this some kind of afterlife as well?

Voice;

[pocketfulof]

You definitely aren't the only one. Between the demigods and people pulled here from when they died...not to mention those that have died while their here.

So uh...welcome to the party, I guess.

Voice;

[forkingbullshirt]

Thanks. It seems like it's going to be interesting, to say the least.

[Gods, more immortal beings? Sure, bring it on.]

[lesterzeppelin]

Wait, the Porter pulled you in from the afterlife?

[ That... doesn't sound quite right. Hades (and maybe that Anubis guy) would be pissed if they knew. ]

I didn't know that was possible. Moment of death, sure, but dead-dead? That's a new one.

video »

[forkingbullshirt]

Yep, apparently, it is?

I'm pretty dead-have been for awhile, I guess.
