@KIJYO

So who else was supposed to be dead?

Not expecting honest answers if you don't feel like it.

So this place is as much a mystery to you as it is to me then.

Does it bother you? Being alive again.

[saudadist]

I don't think it was the wisest decision

but I'm going to keep moving forward until I can't anymore
just lying down and dying is something I can't do

not as long as my hands or feet can hold me up

[frostfist]

A rousing show of determination. What makes you say your revival wasn't the wisest decision, if you don't mind me asking?

[saudadist]

if I told you every sin I've committed, your ears would rot

and there's a lot of them I don't regret in the slightest

[frostfist]

My ears stronger than they look, but I'll take your word for it.

Are you planning on committing them all again a second time around?

[saudadist]

not if I can help it

I promised someone I wouldn't

[frostfist]

This wasn't one of those dying wish promises like in the stories, was it?

[saudadist]

hey

it was before the dying

[ Not something she'd normally make light of but she needs the morbid chuckle right now. ]

[frostfist]

Completely different then, you're right.

In all seriousness, I wish you the best of luck. It's not easy to turn things around, even after being given a second chance of sorts.

[saudadist]

speaking from experience, sounds like

[frostfist]

Haha, is that what it sounds like? Well, I guess you're not completely wrong.

[saudadist]

just seemed to make sense

but you're right, I guess it could be worse
like being on the verge of death or being in prison again

[frostfist]

Hey, some prisons aren't that bad.

[saudadist]

yeah? the only one I've been in was a house of horrors

[frostfist]

The one I was sent to was pretty similar, truth be told. A lawless land. But I'm happy to said that things turned around once I took over.

[saudadist]

sounds like a lucky break
pretty rare, honestly

[frostfist]

Maybe, but now I'm back at square one. Karma gives and it also taketh away.

[saudadist]

pretty sure that's why they say "karma's a bitch"

[frostfist]

Fair enough. Guess there's nothing else to do but make the best of our situation. At least they're housing and feeding us here.

and in exchange, we fight just as hard as we always have to protect that small place to exist

it makes sense
