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

[warriorscribe]

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

[warriorscribe]

It is an idea to keep. As I said, I won't run headlong into death without cause.

Forgive me for the turn this conversation has taken. It is late, and it feels as if everyone's thoughts are unsettling at the moment.

[mrcreamsicles]

id say its less that our thoughts are unsettling than norfinbury is making us talk about this in the first place
and im pretty sure whatever thing it is ive lost is making it worse for me personally
so how about we hang up here for the night and talk to you after this is over

[warriorscribe]

Of course. hopefully we'll be of sounder mind soon.

[It's a chilling sentence to type, like an admission of losing sanity, even if it's not what it means at all. He's terrified of going mad. He wants to share it with everyone, see if anyone else feels the same, but...Davesprite is right, it seems to be affecting everyone. It's not just a feeling in the air or encouraged by the atmosphere.]

[mrcreamsicles]

thanks enoch
later

[He almost stopped to comment that almost no one's of sound mind just from being in this place, but Enoch did say sounder. So instead, he hangs up with just that.]
