If someone who died in your world came back in this one
What would you do?

Avoid them.

[restringing]

No matter who it was?

[unhappy]

all the dead people I know are probably grudge-y.

[restringing]

All of them?

[Listen, he knows that Emerald is from someplace distinctly unlike his home, but imagining a scenario in which everyone who died holds grudges is more than slightly unsettling.]

Why?

[unhappy]

A lot of people say that you either make good or bad choices in life.
Good ones were never really on the table for me until I got off of my world so.
Let's just say I wouldn't hold it against anyone for holding it against me.

[restringing]

I see
It makes sense now

[And after a minute or two pass:]

Sorry
For bringing it up

I'm glad things are better now

[unhappy]

you didn't make me reply to you. just trying not to lie about it anymore.

what about you? seen any ghosts lately?

[restringing]

Not any ghosts
I was just thinking about it

Nobody I know is here yet, alive or not

[unhappy]

So what are you so worried about?

[restringing]

It's...

It probably won't happen
But if the person I lost came back
I don't know how I would cope
I guess

[unhappy]

Sounds complicated.
If you wanna talk about it I can come over wherever.

[ She doesn't think complicated or emotional things should be discussed over text.. it's kind of hard to tell how someone's feeling and it's way too easy to misstep. ]

[restringing]

I didn't really want to talk about it
But people have been telling me to
This might be the most I can do
Since I've been trying to move on

Thanks for offering
I'll let you know if I need it

[unhappy]

Np.
If you just want to watch something stupid or throw stuff at each other that's fine too btw
If everyone's expecting you to get all emotional and touchy-feely that can be annoying so whichever

[circumitus]

same honestly

[No point in responding separately when she was about to say literally the exact same thing, right? Oof.]

[restringing]

Even if it was someone you were close to?

[circumitus]

more so, if that were the case.

[restringing]

You don't think they'd try to find you?

[circumitus]

wouldnt be easy for them.
dont exactly have an address they could follow

[restringing]

But there's a network
If they saw your name anywhere
They might try contacting you

But... it isn't hard to hide your name on here

[circumitus]

dont have a very identifiable name
limiting personal information on the network also helps

have a lot of experience in knowing how to stay hidden

[restringing]

That makes sense
I don't have anyone to hide from

Your life must be different from mine

[circumitus]

have found that most people led much different lives from mine.
which is probably good, all things considered.

[restringing]

Mmm...
There are lots of different kinds of people here
From different places

But now we're all even

[circumitus]

not sure if that counts us as even.
still a stranger in a strange land here with no one
which is all well and good. not complaining.
just saying tho

[restringing]

Maybe
I don't have anyone here either
So you and I are even
I guess
