3. Knowledge [Video]
[[OOC: This is backdated to the 16th, after the Nyx Avatar battle. I meant to make this post earlier, but so it goes. Better late than never!]]
The video opens up on Jade Curtiss, picking up and slipping on his glasses, then looking at the camera while smiling his usual unconcerned smile and wearing his usual military uniform.
"Forgive me my abruptness, but I'd like to conduct a little survey," he says pleasantly. "My name is Jade Curtiss, and I had the fascinating experience of my first death yesterday--at, apparently, the hands of Death itself, no less. When I awoke this morning, I couldn't help but wonder, what sorts of deaths have you all experienced thus far? If you wouldn't mind indulging my curiosity, please leave a response in whatever format you prefer with as much detail as you feel comfortable with giving.
"Please be aware that I will likely ask follow-up questions. This is, of course, completely optional. For those of you who do participate, thank you in advance for your cooperation."
He nods his head politely, then reaches forward for something off-screen. The video cuts there. ...Morbid much?

Hi, Mister Jade! My name's Quark. I'll answer your survey!
[Because surveys were meant to be answered, right? It would only be polite.]
I've died twice! Both times were because of these shadow people that followed me around everywhere. The first time, my shadow sounded like my Grandpa, and he said a lot of mean things to me, so I got really sad and tired until I ended up dying. The second time was during Halloween. I couldn't give a shadow the candy it wanted so I got drowned in a bathtub full of water that burned really bad.
[It wasn't really very fun, and Quark can remember it hurting.]
I hope your first death didn't hurt too much!

Thank you, Quark; I appreciate your cooperation. Shadow people, hm? They certainly don't sound like they were very friendly. Their methods of murder sound quite different, though. Are you sure that they were the same type of monsters, or were they monsters that only appeared similar?
Oh, no, not at all. My vessel was destroyed in an instant, so I hardly felt a thing. It was actually a little disappointing.

I guess they could have been different! Especially because the second time was during one of Ruana's games. Maybe she made them, herself.
[Maybe she liked scary shadow people. Quark didn't know. He just knew that Ruana was really scary and could do a lot of things that he couldn't explain. So why not this, too?]
no subject
I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with Ruana to remark on that. I'll be sure to remember it, though.
[It seems possible that one could have been free-roaming and one under her control, thus the disparity in MO. Jade doesn't have nearly enough information to actually voice that guess, though; after all, it's only a possibility, not a solid guess.]
