spare me the grand speeches.

what do you believe happens with those who disappear from the tower? not to them, specifically, but what causes it and why some, it seems, are able to return.

But thinking about practical stuff is so boring!

[ priorities. ]

[unkindnessof]

boring or not, sometimes it has to be done.

so you can spend more time on the interesting things, of course.

[raven why the hell are you encouraging this. sardonicism doesn't convey well via text. stahp.]

[blackwitch]

[ EXACTLY, RAVEN.. NO.. DON'T.. ]

Really? I see, maybe in that case you're useful enough to stick around after all! Wait a little more before rolling over and dying then!

[unkindnessof]

[is that... supposed to be a compliment, coming from Evatrice...]

...i'll do my best.

[blackwitch]

[ It's.. close.. enough.. basically. It's as far as she'll get with giving compliments. ]

Are you sure? ... Oh, wait, you can't do it in general since everyone keeps coming back here either way, riiiight?

[unkindnessof]

[hoorah...? i think..]

depends on whether or not you consider all of us here to be dead already, probably. or what you define as death in general.

[because she actually does bring up a good point. if they just keep reviving, then... huh.]

[blackwitch]

Dead means that someone's heart stopped beating and they stopped breathing, right? We're all walking around just fine, so there's no way we're dead!

[ Honestly, she doesn't think much of the whole soul thing. As long as she has her powers and can have her fun, she's fine.. ]

[unkindnessof]

fair enough. though the absence of either is still hard to make permanent here anyway.

[ He is thiiiiis far away from just logging off the terminal and walking away, just saying. Just. A heads-up in case Evatrice finds the conversation suddenly being cut short. ]

[blackwitch]

[ Hey, it wouldn't be the first time for her. She'll just move on to something else if this stops or doesn't interest her anymore either. ]

What about the people in charge here? They could probably do it, right?

[unkindnessof]

...likely.

but they had to have brought us here for a reason. whether it's for their claims of rescue, or simply wanting to toy with us...

'breaking' us permanently seems as if it'd be counterproductive to whatever it is they're doing.

though apparently they did kill one of their own relatively recently. who knows, in that case.

[ It's unfortunate that it can't be conveyed via text how slowly he types out his thoughts in the first half of his message- specifically around the 'toy' portion- other than a slight delay in the reply speed overall. ]

[blackwitch]

They're like kids. [ She can tell this fairly accurately, because.. well, it's just like she is.. ]

They're just playing until they get bored, and then they'll throw whatever they're bored of away. Just like that guy among them. It's just a matter of time.

[unkindnessof]

...pick and choose at random, discard the ones they don't like, is it.

would save us a lot of trouble if they were choosier to begin with.

[blackwitch]

Maybe they are choosier to begin with and you just don't agree with their choices.
