..It's pretty awful. Since we're expected to just accept some of us are going to end up dying during the whole process, but "it's fine" because they'll come back at the end of it.
Siffrin doesn't say anything else, glances over as he takes a seat with a quietly concerned look. Overly attune to the signs of their own distress, the frustrations and facing what is supposed to be the reality of things, they try to think before - ]
..What were you doing before this? [ What was his life like? What does he remember? ]
[ Nothing like your life turning upside down when you least expect it and being strung along like a puppet on the line. For Siffrin, that is. Definitely a train of thought here. ]
..So you did something different for a change, only for..
[ Well, to show up here. Talk about a really bad turn of luck. ]
I was also home before this. Unlike some of the people that were just wrapping up from their last experience.
Discussions about what's done to one's body when you pass on I've heard of but... nothing about the afterlife.
[ Quietly watches him, before nodding. ]
I did. We didn't spend a lot of time together or anything, but. We were roommates where we were staying, though.. you never actually stayed in the room. Only come by from time to time. You always went out and stayed out really late.
Sorry... [ Why is he even apologizing? He doesn't even know. ] Nothing like that rings any bells, but perhaps it's better that you and him weren't close.
Nothing to apologize for. [ Also confused by the apology but.. also kinda familiar. ] ..It's probably weird, knowing I did meet some version of you but. If there's anything you wanna know, or ask about it, Jonas and I will be around these next eight weeks.
There was. Some people definitely got affected by them more so than others though. Probably by sake of funny.
[ Thinking, they don't think they really got affected by much of them actually... personally, anyway. ]
There's some other things, too. But I don't know if it'll exactly be the same..? But I know every other Wednesday we had tasks we did. Every week people would disappear for a bit for an excursion outside the realm, coming back during Thursdays. They're.. pretty nasty, in the way they can warp your memories and try to emotionally and physically hurt you.
... Okay. So... We are meant to be chaotic and funny here? Great.
[ Real? Jacopo doesn't remember his grief in turbo, even though I don't think I got super cursed often. He's going to pray it isn't him that gets hit. ]
I did hear about the Thursday thing from somewhere, [ Though now he's like. Did I? He's not going to think that hard on it. ] Going to hope I am never suddenly whisked away. Again. Thanks for telling me a bit more.
I don't know if I'd prefer the atmosphere to be the same or not. Is it easier to suffer through this if we have to be circus and then go through the horrors? Or if we just go through the horrors. [ Has a moment. ] Whatever. Both paths lead to madness.

How can any regular person react to that and be okay with it? He doesn't say anything, but the distress might be obvious. ]

There are so many things he has to... Just accept as is. He's meant to move along with the waves, but it all feels like it's happening very fast. ]
... I was on the way to work—at a real estate company. It was a beautiful day, so I had decided to just take the day off.
[ ... ]
I normally never take days off. It would mean returning to more papers on my desk.

[ But it is bad luck. ]
You talked to someone here like that? I heard about it, too.
no subject
[ More of a jab at them than anything. ]
I did. It was... um. [ LOOKS THROUGH PASSPORTS... ] Oh. Scaramouche. He was saying he had just finished getting out before waking here.
no subject
[ he isn't concerned that scaramouche is going through 16 weeks of murder. ]
The other person I found like that is Maya.

Ah, she's the one that came from a school that was a story brought to life.

You knew me. From then. Or a version of me.
