catch-all for sieghart (he's an oppa in my heart)

w1, friday

[lifeless]

[this sure is a DAY!!!

Manwol's in an admittedly foul mood, but look food waits for no ghost.

She looks at the salad toppings section, opens her backpack, and starts scooping as much slivered almonds as she can into the bag, it's fine.]

[ercnerd]

[It's a day!

Sieghart is just here for a meal, because hobbling around with a splinted leg on an empty stomach is in no way fun. He finds himself beside Manwol as he thinks about what to eat and raises an eyebrow.]

Wow. That's a lot of almonds.

[lifeless]

[why is both sieghart and sakyou walking around with BROKEN LEGS, Manwol glances at his leg and raises her eyebrows, then she holds out the Nut Scoop,]

Have some. People with injuries need to eat.

[ercnerd]

Thanks.

[He reaches for a container into which he can pour the almonds before accepting the scoop.]

Everyone needs to eat. Being busy is no excuse for skipping a meal.

[lifeless]

[eating is the only good thing about life, honestly. Manwol does glance at him for a moment, then]

Were you part of the group that went exploring after the alarms?

[ercnerd]

[In goes the almonds.]

Yeah. My group found the body.

[lifeless]

[......Manwol takes a plate and starts filling it with something other than almonds,]

Was there a squirrel nearby?

[ercnerd]

You mean the one he carries in his sleeves? I thought about it, but I didn't see it.

[lifeless]

[she nods, lwj's squirrel...]

He was pretty adamant about it not being his pet. [so it makes sense that it'd leave....] Maybe it'll show up during the trial tomorrow to point out the obvious again.

[ercnerd]

It'd be better if we can see the obvious for ourselves. We were too careless last week.

[lifeless]

[me coming back to this thread and laughing]

...I don't like to admit it, but this isn't my field of expertise. I usually get to talk to the ghost of the person who was murdered.

[instead of having to do it the HUMAN way]

[ercnerd]

Yeah? Do the dead of your dimension retain their memories after death?

[lifeless]

[she waves a hand]

Half and half. Some remember and some remember everything but their deaths. Is it different for you?

[ercnerd]

The Underworld has a process where they extract memories of life from the dead in preparation for reincarnation. It's unusual for anyone to remember anything.

[lifeless]

Oh? That's not so different from how we do it. Do your dead go straight to the Underworld then? They don't wander around the living first?

[ercnerd]

If memory serves me right, they go through the Soul Temple first. Souls don't typically linger in the material world unless someone binds them there.

[lifeless]

[stabs you too jae

she makes a face at the word 'bind' though, wow...]

The souls in my world always linger. That's why I run a hotel to give them a place to stay, at least until they're ready to move on.

[ercnerd]

[Be kind, please.]

Hmm . . . is that really all you do?

[lifeless]

[she gives him a Look,]

What's that supposed to mean? I'll have you know that I'm a very good boss. I run that place perfectly.

[sometimes]

[ercnerd]

I'm not saying that you don't. I just recall that your ID card had more skills than hotel management on it.

[lifeless]

[Manwol looks briefly surprised, because Sieghart is the first person who looked at her ID and had questions.]

...I know it says 'exploiting the bereaved', but that's just an exaggeration.

[immediately thinking of the worst thing on her card]

[ercnerd]

[He has many questions that he can't be bothered to ask. That she immediately jumps to that factoid says a lot, but he merely shrugs one shoulder.]

Everyone's cards are exaggerated to a point. You don't have to defend yourself.

[lifeless]

I'm explaining, not defending. There's a difference.

[is there??? manwol sure seems huffy about it... she's gonna eat this entire piece of bread now,]

[ercnerd]

I suppose there must be, since they're different words.

[Wow, look at her go. He watches her devour the bread with faint amusement.]

So do you exorcise the souls who insist on lingering?

[lifeless]

[she's still huffy!! wow!!]

No. I'm all about healing spirits. We don't exorcise anyone. We don't even get paid if we do.

[why destroy when u can...... help....]

If they need help, then they can come to us. It's not our job to force them.
