[ well, that's quite the mental update. while ishmael isn't reeling from the download's sappy effects, she is in the mood to yap and gossip -- which is typically unlike her at all. and so, while they're all still waiting for the download to finish, she's got this to ask on their shared network. ]

Looks like this is going to take a while. And I know that most of us here were haunted by certain dreams a while back, me included. It's something I've already gone through back home so I'm not too bothered with it now, but I'm going to go ahead and ask anyway.

What are some of your happier memories?

That's probably easier said than done, though. You don't even have to think too far back and just share whatever made you happy since coming here. It's corny, sure, but we could definitely need some cheering up after all that on top of this horribly hot weather.

Of course, if you're too shy to share them to everyone in the class, I get it. I know I am. You can just tell me privately if you trust me that much, or you don't have to say anything at all and just read or react to everyone's contributions instead. Also if anyone's gonna come here to say shit like "Oh I'm not gonna share anything :/" then do us all a favor and not waste our time. Thanks. 👍

[ ish is too embarrassed to share hers right now, if anyone's wondering 🧍‍♂️ of course, feel free to threadjack if needed. happy yapping!! ]

The circumstances, huh?

Still, what kind of circumstances would make death become a happy memory?

[queenofkur]

Well I was helping my first ever friend save the world! (〃＾▽＾〃)

Also there were lots of flowers everywhere in my domain (◕‿◕)

[thundercrashes]

[Ah... that makes some amount of sense, despite how much Manjoume doesn't actually like this answer.]

I guess that would make dying a little less bitter, if it was for a friend or saving the world or whatever.

[queenofkur]

Yes.

Besides I did come back ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

Not that I knew I would at the time.

[thundercrashes]

How were you able to come back to life, if you don't mind my asking?

[queenofkur]

Ah, of this I am not sure.

I would like to call it a miracle, though this is likely more complex than that.

Dying is unusual for one such as me in the first place, it is no wonder things went wrong

[thundercrashes]

I'm assuming it's unusual for you of all people to die because you're a "goddess of death"? If your username is anything to go by, anyway.

[Maybe a year ago he would have said someone was making shit up if they walked around calling themselves that, but now...]

[queenofkur]

You are correct! (◕‿◕)

Not in this world, of course. My authority is limited in this realm. But I still hope to help the humanity of this world in what ways I can.

[thundercrashes]

Huh. So even someone like you got your powers and status as a goddess of death nerfed by this place somehow?

[Then again, he hasn't been able to see and speak with his duel spirits since his own arrival... maybe there's something weird going on with this place that prevents anything abnormal to do with death or spiritual realm...]

So what does a goddess of death actually do, anyway?

[queenofkur]

Indeed. Though, this avatar was already wielding but a fraction of my power.

As for my duties, they are to watch after the souls of those who no longer live. Provide them a home and comfort until they find peace and are ready to move on.

[thundercrashes]

I guess that makes sense.

Makes you wonder how these Lilith guys even managed to bring someone like you here to begin with, if thats what you're normally up to.

[queenofkur]

Humanity in this world is on the brink of extinction.

It is only my guess, but I think the fabric of this world may be even more unstable than we perceive.

When the laws of reality break down, what was once difficult or impossible is no longer so.
