Does he have any skills he desperately needs, then?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

His cooking and baking, certainly.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

Aren't those skills that can be relearned the normal way...?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

Perhaps, but he spent his whole life learning these skills. It's his livelihood.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

Well, whatever you two think you can work to make you happy.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

Well, we certainly figured it out before.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

[yeah with person-sized condoms]

I suppose so. Are you doing okay? After learning that.

Re: Day 178, morning

...

Honestly, it's not the being-alive-again part that bothers me. I knew I was dead. Obviously my preference would be to just be alive but... I have such a full life it seems, after death. But living through being murdered again, without the distance of memory, oddly enough... I'm not sure how okay I feel right now.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

I understand that. Intimately.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

...Can you tell me? About... what happened. You don't have to. Sorry. It's probably an impolite thing to ask.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

When I died? I don't mind, but you might.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

I... it's up to you. I just... it's selfish. I shouldn't drag people around with me. But I don't want... it's lonely to know this happened, and maybe if anyone else can talk... I don't know. Forget it.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

No, I don't mind, like I said. Just... [pause, shrug] I was raped and then murdered over the course of the three years after.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

O-oh.

Three years?

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

After raping me, he put a curse on me to slowly torture me to death and then took my memory of it. I thought I died of an illness until shortly after my death.

I basically came back for vengeance.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

Tell me you got it.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

Not yet, anyway.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

I didn't see who killed me. I don't really know those details yet.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

What do you know, if you're okay with saying?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

I was on a cruise ship. I found out recently that, well, I suppose the only way to put it is that I lived a bit of a hermitical lifestyle. My aunts, who seemed to have raised me after my dad died suddenly weren't fans of the outside world, so in order to take care of them I stayed in and discovered world through reading and language development.

So, I never explored the physical world and one day I decided I would, and I signed up to take a cruise. My first real foray...

Well, anyway, I was on the cruise ship and I went to get ice from the ice machine and dropped my keycard and as I was digging through the ice, someone came up behind me and suffocated me with a plastic bag. Well, suffocated or strangulated but I'm not sure the distinction is relevant since it's all sort of the same end result anyway.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

That's awful... I'm so sorry, Fawn.

Do you have any idea why...? Or if there even was a reason.

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

Not yet.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

Do you want one?

Re: Day 178, morning

[overboard]

I think... maybe, yes. I don't want to believe that someone could do something like that for no reason.

Re: Day 178, morning

[tsundead]

Mm. [sympathetic]
