Better late than never.

Did you just want to tell me about your memory?

From:

...

I wanted to talk out loud to see if I could figure out if I'll disappear if I die here,

From:

darkroastbean

Wha. . .what?!

Is someone trying to kill you?! There wasn't a bad game I missed, was there?!

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Do I seem like the type someone would want to-….okay, fair.

No, the newest one just said something that got me thinking. That’s all.

From:

darkroastbean

What was it? You never answered before.

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

He asks too many questions.

From:

darkroastbean

And you don't answer enough.

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Try me. Ask one.

What did the new guy say to you?

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Ask a different one.

From:

darkroastbean

I!!

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Ask gloomy questions, get gloomy answers. Don’t you want me to be more lively?

From:

darkroastbean

I just wanna help! I can't do that without context.

. . .

If you tell me, I'll tell you something important.

He asked what happened the other times I was summoned and failed.

He asked if I was in limbo.

And he asked if I get defeated here then does that mean I won’t be around anymore.

From:

darkroastbean

. . .

Oh. You're having one hell of an existential crisis, huh?

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Just a small one.

From:

darkroastbean

Well. I can tell you confidently, just from what we've seen here? I doubt you'd disappear. There are always different games where we could die, right? But they'd bring you back--even if it's just for sick entertainment, it at least guarantees that nothing is truly permanent here. . .

I don't. Know how you existed before, admittedly, but you exist now, and you've got plenty of memories you still need to recover. So I guess, what happened before maybe doesn't matter. . .?

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Such confidence. I can at least agree that nothing is permanent. I can’t be that confident though, so I’ll have to just trust your confidence then. And I’ll try not to dwell on it too much. That’s a fair enough compromise from someone like me, isn’t it?
