[ Steph is a little somber today, but she has good reason to be, considering the subject of her announcement and the many often confusing things she's been wondering about of late. ]

I've been thinking a lot since yesterday, and I finally decided to ask the Admin some questions.

What I was told is that... our friends, they aren't considered legally dead. What's done to revive them, it's considered resuscitation. I didn't ask for more details, because I didn't want her to stop responding outright. But they aren't dead, not really. Not anymore than someone who swallowed too much sea water and stopped breathing is dead.

The other thing, which I don't know will be of interest to anyone but me, is that you can ask if someone is from the same world as you. The person I asked about is... comatose, so I don't know if that's a factor, and probably there are confidentiality issues if you ask about anyone other than yourself, but I got a straight answer.

[ She turns away, about to say goodbye and turn off the feed, when she remembers something else that might be kind of relevant. ]

Oh, um, also, she responds to body location requests with a picture of the building. So like, know what the funeral home or the hospital or the police station look like from the outside, but don't worry about seeing pictures of... you know. Your friends.

[ Not dead, she keeps reminding herself. Not dead friends. ]

That's all.
