uh
its this thing my lungs do
i breathe in and out and i think its subconscious since ive been knocked out a metric fuckton of times
or sleep
i really dont have a say in it

I know how biology works. [For the...most part. Like, she's got a basic understanding of this.]

I guess it might be better to ask: What makes you happy?

[[Damn it. That takes every last ounce of sarcasm he has out of the pool. He can't make light of that one.]]

uh
hmm
apple juice and music are pretty cool
i dont have reasons for why they just are

ok me being an asshole aside
you good?

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I've ever had apple juice. [Which doesn't really mean anything, but it's an odd thing to suddenly realize. Like, she's seen it around, sure, but just...never thought to try some. Hm.]

Sorry, did I worry you? I guess it seems really strange to ask something like that out of nowhere, right? I'm alright though. Someone told me death wasn't permanent here and it got me thinking about it.

Thank you for asking though. That's kind of you.

well fuck
that needs to change

no... ish
[[Yes. Yes she did.]]
just tried to get under your skin and you got all philosophical so i just wanted to make sure you were good
who told you people dont die here?

[[Not sure what to say, he takes a little while to respond. Dave's no good with people complimenting him and that felt like a person complimenting him that wasn't obligated to compliment him.]]

uh
sure no problem
thanks too
you know for the compliment

[[Conversationalist extraordinaire.]]

Sorry. Next time I'll try to send a better reaction. I thought you were being sarcastic, but I didn't really know what to say. [Sorry dave, she'll try to be funnier next time. What Would A Normal Person Say.]

Someone named Hisoka.

Now that I think about it, I probably should've asked how he discovered that.

[Probably that should've been one of the FIRST things you asked him when he told you, yuri.]

nah its cool
next time i wont be an asshole instead
[[Even Dave doesn't know what a normal person would say, so he can't fault her.]]

ok hisoka is a start
maybe he died?
i know people back home who died and werent dead technically but some of them stayed dead so i wouldnt go out offing randos to find out if its true or nothin

If you met him, you'd know. He dresses differently from most people. [This is...the politest she can say that.]

Died but weren't technically dead? I think I understand what you mean, a little bit. But how is that possible? [i mean, she knows why someone like Ouse was dead-but-not-really, but she doesn't think the whole 'schrodinger's shrine maiden in a box' thing is common outside of her world.]

i think all of us dress differently
unless you got a killer cape going on somewhere i didnt figure you for having
ill keep my eyes out for the name hisoka and ask too
i got a few questions for him myself when you say this guys got an idea no one dies

theres a ton of reasons why someone dies and then isnt dead
cpr for one but if he could on his world maybe?
i know people back home who cant die
well mostly
theres two ways to kill them but i think itd be a shit thing to out the ways in case they make it here

I'm not planning on killing anyone, but I wouldn't want to know anyhow.

I know people who have died but aren't dead, so I was simply curious. Which I suppose sums me up rather well. There's just a lot of different worlds and different ways people experience things. I want to know them all.

Hmm, maybe that's a reason for me to live.

ok thats good
thats a uh
yeah thats good keep up with that idea

what do you mean they were dead but not dead? clue a bro in on all the four one one howd they un die?

youre doing it again
are you saying you have no reason to live? we just went over apple juice what about table hockey have you played that yet? its like hockey but on a table and not as many canadians

Oh. Am I? Sorry. I haven't played table hockey. I don't really have any hobbies... Except cycling, I guess. I like bike riding?

[This did not answer the "dead but not dead" question, se realizes, but she's not sure how to explain. She sighs a little, regretting bringing it up.]

But for your question... There used to be a ritual done on the mountain I lived on. Priestesses would enter these boxes filled with water from the underworld. While in the boxes, they would slowly be melted away by the water, but so long as they kept their will strong, they wouldn't die and could technically live for years and years unchanging. They would be dead, but not truly dead until their wills gave out and they melted away for good.

no its cool i just have momentary heartattacks cause you sound so fuckin sad bro
maybe its just lack of tone on the system cause were fuckin around in text
its ok to be sad of course

[[Oh. Oh God. Okay. Wow no wonder she's sad and Dave needs a second to look that over again and make sure that he just understood her village drown the fuck out of women for their religion. Religion which is a bunch of shit and does this to people all the time.]]

ok holy fuck
i thought i grew up around abusive shit
are you sure they werent dead they were literally drowned howd you guys know?

Oh. I get told I have that sort of face too. People will ask if I'm alright all the time, but it's just my face...

[SO yeah, dave, not far off she's just. Very Sad.]

Sometimes the boxes were opened up again. Most were dead. But there was one girl I saved from a box who'd been in there for probably weeks, at least, and aside from being very tired and soaked, she was completely fine. And alive.

you dont smile or nothin?

[[This poor girl, not that Dave is the smiliest person in the world but he thinks back to Jade and how happy she was and he's seen the smiles Rose gives Kanaya. He feels bad for her.]]

oh
holy fuck okay well that settles that
man when shes safe shes gotta go for olympic swimming
i tried to hold my breath once to get my way where my bro was concerned
i just passed out and started breathing again
shes got that shit down
mvp move though man you saved that chicks life and got her out of a soggyass box
who the fuck wants to be in a soggyass box?
i say thats reason to be happy

I promise I do, sometimes. At least, I think I do? Now I'm starting to wonder how often I really do...

[She has a feeling that his rambling is more about feeling uncertain as to what to say or do about any of this information rather than any disrespect about the subject matter.]

Oh, I did it there. It's over text, so you obviously couldn't see, but that made me smile. You're right, it's something to be happy about.

[[He just has no filter, no matter what he tries, sometimes. He can catch it once in a while but it's true, he has no clue how to handle something like this, even if he thinks he should/does.]]

im going to think it looks something like this

:)

there
wow i havent used punctuation like that in a while
i think i pulled an e muscle
