[glaived]

The impermanence of death seems a common trait here.

[ but the second part gives her pause. ]

There are some of the Aesir who are seers, though it is a rare gift.

[thekidsare0kay]

ii2 iit that common?
ii don't know, iit 2eem2 liike a lot of 2henaniigan2 happen.

what'2 an ae2iir?

[glaived]

I can count two who have done the same thing.

An Aesir is what I am - someone who hails from Asgard. One of the nine realms, if the name is unfamiliar to you.

[thekidsare0kay]

really?
two other troll2 or what?

ii'm not famiiliiar wiith niine 2peciifiic realm2, unle22 alterniia ii2 one of them.

[harpbeat]

I am not certain clothes are an acceptable trade for physical trauma.

[thekidsare0kay]

It's possible. |

[ there's a small beat. the answer seems directed enough, even as the words seem to scroll. letter by letter. almost thoughtfully: ]

Your efforts so far, have they paid off?

[ it seems as though idle curiosity, simply spoken. something that vaguely interests, for the sake of being interested. he needn't know the rest. he wouldn't tell of it, of course. ]

[thekidsare0kay]

whiich effort2?
the one2 two form a club of tortured 2oul2 liike my2elf?
2o far no iintere2t.

[ there is a small pause here, almost as if he's contemplating the phrase. almost as if he's contemplating scanning what resources the community might provide him - but, he knows. already. from the shape of his words and the openness of text: ]

I would imagine it's difficult. | [ another beat, smaller: ] Even so, others are certain to be found; the community offers opportunity.

[ghostshippingly]

You... died?

[thekidsare0kay]

yep, 2eem2 that way.
the way my thiinkpan exploded out my aural caviity wa2 the fiir2t clue.
iit 2ucked.

[ghostshippingly]

But that's horrible!

But then... if you're talking to us now, did you come back to life somehow?

[a_new_innovator]

It's good that you are alright. This has been a few strange days on the network.

You got clothes for what happened?

[thekidsare0kay]

yeah, ii know, there wa2 all kiind2 of doom and gloom, but ii thiink a lot of iit wa2 ju2t viideo2.
apparently we've got dream ver2iion2 of our2elve2 and when my real body diied ii woke up iin one of them.

[a_new_innovator]

Yeah it seems like it was. It sounds like people are okay after that.

Oh... I've never heard of that before, having different versions of yourself. That's common in your world?
