I was going to apologize for throwing more inane bullshit on here, but since we're all going to be dying of plague soon I guess it's actually kind of topical. Get out while you still can, you know?

Anyway. Has anyone from an earth like this visited their home here? Was that kind of fun or just massively depressing?

And uh, I guess if the overwhelming answer is depressing I'm also taking vacation recommendations. I'm not really picky as long as it's somewhere kind of quiet and thought provoking. Someplace you can clear your head, you know?

If they have plans for it, then it shouldn't be a problem. They'll keep these people off the streets. But most of them probably are probably going to be more susceptible to it than you.

[ Though honestly, he doubts they have much of a way in plans for this, so he can't really blame her for not wanting to go out there.

He wouldn't without some sort of protection. ]

Can you die a second time?

Most people are probably going to be more susceptible to everything than I am. Including death.

It's...kind of a complicated subject.

I'm not really asking for details. I just wanted to know that if any of the infected people got to you... it wouldn't kill you? ... Probably.

I jumped on top of a bomb a couple weeks ago and four days later everything had healed back up. I really doubt that any sick person can do more damage than that, so...yeah, I'm fine.

[it's really just magical issues that she has to worry about now...not that it makes them any less terrifying.]

[ Meaning that she could still help people out without having to worry about dying, though... ]

Did it hurt?

[ He debated with himself for a few seconds before deciding there was pretty much no sensitive way to ask that question. ]

I didn't feel anything.

[she pauses, and then decides she might as well finish the thought. at this point she really doesn't care what Kangmo thinks of her.]

But I couldn't look at myself in the mirror without screaming after, so. Tradeoffs, you know.

And getting ripped apart by crazy people won't make you look any better...

[ Alright, he gets it. He's definitely selfish enough to understand why she's not exactly leaping at the chance to do her part. He's not exactly out there trying to play hero either. ]

Honestly it'd be more about what a pain in the ass finding my limbs afterwards would be. Those do not grow back, unlike pretty much everything else.

[this is perhaps unnecessary information, but even at a moment like this she can't resist poking Kangmo a little.]

[ It's a great thing this conversation is over text and she can't see the face he's making right now. Great for him anyway. ]

Everything else grows back besides limbs?

[ That doesn't even begin to make sense to him. ]

Apparently. I cracked my skull open when the blast threw me, right? And there was noooo fucking way I was finding those pieces of bone, but they grew back on their own. Just slower than usual.

[ God... GOD. Why in the world did he ask her this?! Oh my god, he feels sick at the idea. How does she say this so casually?! ]

How does that even make sense, but you can't regrow limbs? Did the witch that brought you back even know what she was doing?

[two words: text conversation. Hazel's a lot more gutsy about what she says when she can hide behind the text function.]

You just love making me repeat that I'm a fuckup, don't you? I've told you before, there was a lot of stuff that went wrong.

Maybe they come back if the limbs get destroyed beyond repair, I don't know. I'm not running around testing this!!

It just doesn't make a lot of sense.

[ That's all he's saying. He's just putting that out there. ]

Because every other part of it is so rational.

As far as I know? But I don't know much about necromancy.

Ok, well, let me educate you a little bit: it's fucking bullshit nonsense. Even when it's done right...I think.

Playing God and bringing people back to life? I can't see why you'd think that about it...

Ha ha ha. Hahahaha!!! Wow, that is so original and funny. It's a good thing I don't have lungs anymore or I'd be laughing them up right now!!

You don't actually have lungs?

I was embalmed, I don't have anything. Except like, sawdust and cotton and what the fuck ever.

[ ...Ew. ]

Ah.

[ Real useful response there, Kangmo. Nice way to say "this is horrific, and I don't want to keep talking about it" without using those words. A+ smoothing things over.

This is his fault. He brought this up. ]

[this is absolutely his fault, which means that Hazel isn't going to drop it until he outright says so. she doesn't like having to think about what she's lost unless it's on her terms. it's too depressing otherwise.]

What, did you think they'd just leave all that shit inside me? What the hell could I possibly use it for now?

[ He had a sinking feeling the minute he replied at all. ]

I don't really spent that much time around morgues. It's not like I know what they do with everything.

Dude, I was never in a morgue. That all happened in her house.

[ That's a whole nother level of disturbing. ]

Wait... did she remove your organs herself?
