I'm not imagining that it takes longer and longer to be able to move again every time you die, am I? Someone else has to have noticed this.

Why do you think that is?

It's not your imagination. It does take longer to move around each time you die. I'm not exactly sure why, but it does.

Have you ever wondered about it?

[Text forever]

[tohko_amano]

I have..but I haven't been able to find a good reason for it yet. It could be possible that it takes awhile for the soul to settle into each new metal body, but even that wouldn't explain why the time gets longer each time you die.

[looselips]

Does it worry you?

[tohko_amano]

..Not really. It does puzzle me, since I don't really know why it happens, other than my previous deduction and one that the Administrators might be doing it to punish us for dying. But I'm not really frightened of it right now. I don't have a reason to be. I already have a few other things to worry about..it's best to try and not worry about things that you're not sure are worth worrying about, if that makes any sense.

[looselips]

I don't know if it's a good idea to assume it's benign in a place like this. Especially now that we know what we do.

[tohko_amano]

I didn't say that I would assume it was harmless. I'm saying that I don't know enough about that fact to say whether it's good or bad, and since we have enough to worry about right now, it's probably best to not worry about it until we have a reason to.

It's never more than an hour.

Or at least, in my experience so far.

I'd rather not think about why that is.

If it's something bad, not thinking about it isn't going to help.

[Anon Text]

[neverbeamemory]

No, but thinking too much doesn't achieve anything either.

[looselips]

It achieves more than ignore it.

[Anon Text]

[neverbeamemory]

There is a difference between ignoring and choosing not to think about it.

[looselips]

Yeah, okay. Keep telling yourself that.

Isn't it simple? It's since they can't just use magic to revive people like amazing witches can.

[ The words are a little more hollow than before, but not like it's noticable over text, either way.. ]

So they need to put actual effort in it. It must wear out the soul.

[looselips]

I thought it might be something like that.

Does that concern you, or do amazing witches not have to worry about these things?

[Even when he's anonymous, he can't help but sass her a little.]

[blackwitch]

Who knows! It's probably just that some people are smart enough to not die!

[ Hey, if he's going to sass her, she'll sass right back - especially when she doesn't know who it is. And especially since she's feeling bitter. ]

[looselips]

[Considering that's what he would say if he were on her end of the conversation, he can't even hold it against her.]

Yeah, well, shit happens here. How many times have you died?

[blackwitch]

Zero.

[ She's even being honest. It's partially because she's powerful - even if the powers here might be glamour, they're usually pretty useful - and partially since she's smart enough to keep herself out of trouble she can't handle. ]

So it's definitely possible. I've already been here for a long time.

I'm pretty sure it's because it takes longer every time for our souls to acclimate. It stops after the 7th time - you'll remember more of the process after that, but the time it takes to move will stop getting longer.

[looselips]

What kind of things do you remember?

[cullscuttlefish]

[There's only a link to a network post in reply. It identifies her, but Feferi doesn't care.]

[looselips]

I know that. I wanted to know what kind of things you start remembering for yourself, when you die a lot.

text reply because this is difficult for her to talk about still

[cullscuttlefish]

I don't t)(ink most people start to remember the whole 'crus)(ing pressure and blinding pain' from )(aving t)(eir souls sucked out, at least. Stuff I remember from t)(e later times?
