werent you on one of the obituaries twice at the same time
what even happened to you
im glad youre back and all but even i didnt die that soon after my one before this
i dont know that i trust your time friend to fix things though
if theres one thing every time traveler has told me its that fixing things after theyre messed up is fucking hard
and even if you think youve got it right sometimes something is still wrong

I'm sure an angel so close to the creator of the world

[He meant to back up, not send that. Whoops.]

a world, I mean, would have an easier time of it than others. He would have seen creation as it happened.

I was listed twice on a single obituary? I did die twice, but not within the span of two days.

[...It was within a span of three, but he's not saying that.]

im a winged dude close the creators of a new universe because theyre my friends
but that doesnt give me any extra sway over how time is supposed to go
hell i doubt even other dave could fix it that easy and hes god tier
but hold on let me find it

[It takes him a few minutes to pick back through, but...]

here
i was missing some of my memory then or i would have asked
but then i died again like two days after it came back and didnt revive until tonight

But a creator who can see as much at once as this one? I think he will have a much easier time of it.

[He looks at the linked obituary with growing confusion. How in the world... He goes back to the network proper and scrolls until he finds it. Scrolls until he has context for when it went up. Needless to say, he's even more confused when he returns.]

This obituary is too late for both of these deaths, if it's been as long as I've been told.

if your god really is there and can do things like that then be my guest and ask your angel friend to do the thing
its just hard for me to believe after everything in my own life
time isnt kind enoch

[Hearing the obituary was late just makes it weirder.]

ok well
when did you die
i hadnt heard from you for a while but i figured that was just because you were doing your own thing

The later death was when Andromeda attempted to protect us all from the creatures in the snowstorm. I followed her path, but fell unconscious before I could reach shelter. I also died a few days before that, in an attempt to explore the eastern area that was, at the time, recently discovered.

I haven't been as active in reaching out here as I once was, I will admit.

damn
that was all the way back on 202 and now its 217
im just glad you came back at all
i died out in the new area too though
over along the northeast
kinda hard to feel enthusiastic about exploring after freezing to death out there

I'm somewhat used to it, the dying (or near-dying) and revival. It never feels less unpleasant, even more so without being returned to life with my friend at my side.

If only it was a reversal of time, too. Waking up to find I've lost time feels so wrong.

yeah
gotta agree dying sucks rancid monkey balls every single time
but the other part i dont know anything about
i never died before i came here
so all the time travel i did had nothing to do with that
even with the friend i saved he still died in my timeline
all i did was prevent it from happening in the first place in his
but i understand being disoriented still
like how the fuck does anyone get used to waking up on a morgue shelf with all these other dead people scattered around
and theres always the question of what you lost and whether thats going to screw you over and how

I've stopped looking at the bodies where I wake. I'm afraid I'll see someone I miss too much.

I wish we could simply adjust to the process, and not have to suffer these things for simply not knowing where shelter is. Perhaps we can, but I'm not willing to die enough times to find out.

[After all, his own revivals had come with memory loss, at first, more and more temporary until he retained everything.]

not a bad idea
theres a couple of mine in this one
but i look anyway and take pictures because i know some people want to know which body is where
so its worth the creep factor
im not real tempted to test anything that takes me dying either
i already risked houses life once when i was scared i wasnt really me
even with his agreement and even if it worked out ok i dont even want to repeat that
hes died way more than me though and he still gets losses just like we do

I wish I could say how many deaths it might take. But it isn't the same as what I know, and even so, I wouldn't know that much.

[If you can't even remember dying at all, how can he possibly know how many times he died (or nearly did and forced a reset)?]

I'm not surprised, somehow, to see he's still testing these things. I hope it bears fruit, for his sake. He shouldn't suffer so for ultimately nothing. No one should

i dont want him to have to die at all
i dont want anyone else to die ever again

[It slips out on its own, but he means it entirely.]

im just tired of people getting killed by this place and not coming back
i see friends in morgues and i cant tell them anything
or even if i dont see them i know theyre just waiting on a shelf somewhere while whatever mechanism puts us back together fails for mystery reasons
and i keep wondering why
because they die in ways other people have but theyre still gone while the rest of us get back up and go on
and theres nothing i can do to fix or change any of it anymore

I wish I knew. It seems as if it takes many resuscitation attempts to revive those of us who do, but what causes them to stop trying?

Or are they constantly attempting, instead?

If we can learn more about it, perhaps it can be influenced, after all.

i dont know
ive probably read something about it before in old posts but it all blends together after a while
i would guess the nanomachines have something to do with it though
not like theres doctors native to this place running around

It would have to be, yes, but if there's a way to make them more efficient at it, or increase their chances somehow?

If we find a means of escape, we can't leave them here.

[He doesn't want to think about it, really, what would happen to those the admin held in death if they left them behind.]

i dont know enoch
i sure as hell hope theres a way we can help the rest
but whatever it is is beyond me right now
im not a doctor either

We can hope that we will find it. That we can all escape alive.

I don't know where to look, aside from the places the dead are stored, themselves. And yet, if there's no way to survive being trapped there overnight, how can we explore it?

you can if you revive in the evening
happened to me twice including now
but looking around hasnt taught me much
house and i think others have tried experiments by forcing themselves to stay and theres still plenty of mysteries
hell every time i take a picture of someone in the shelves it comes out distorted but i still dont know why
the whole thing just freaks me out but im pretty sure i already said that

[...Unfortunately for Davesprite, a stupid, reckless idea, the kind he always tends to get in desperation, is coming on.]

I wonder what would happen if a revived person stayed in their bag for the day. Would the creature attack someone still in one?

I don't want to deliberately test this, mind. I've died more than enough times by now.

[At least he's provided a decent deterrent to stupidity? For now... It's never long before Enoch decides his well-being is worth less than whatever greater cause or person other than himself he's got in mind.]

jesus dude dont drop ideas like that around
someone might see it and decide to try it
and theres too many people who die here already
house practically throws himself at deadly experiments

I doubt House is reading this. The man wants nothing to do with me, and surely he knows I know nothing of value, because I would share anything I find.

If anyone else would like to try this, I would implore them to only take advantage of opportunity rather than deliberately die. If they must do it at all. The only one I would consider for the task is myself. I would not ask anyone else to do so for me.

[Because of course it is. Because his life is never worth as much as everyone else's. He's just exhausted enough to say it outright now.]

damnit enoch no
no dying
no anyone dying
nobody fucking die again i dont want to risk anyone else not coming back
you dont need to die for anything no testing this or anything else that requires mortality got it

You do have my word, it will only be tested should I happen to die and return again. I'm not going to throw myself at death so easily - but neither can I sit idly by when I might have a chance to help.

[But he can't promise he won't try if he gets the opportunity. Because he's not leaving something like this to someone else and has an unhealthy lack of concern for his own well-being as compared to others.]

i dont count avoiding death as sitting idly by
like i said theres enough people dying around here
and theres other ways to help
but im going to guess that agreement there is the best i can get
