I wasn't aware there was an age limit on using a public slide. It sounds like you've imposed severe limitations on yourself for someone who used to be so domineering.
[He's teasing. Well, he thinks this is true, but he's teasing.]
Perhaps you can pay one of the newest editions to our group to give you some bleach and hair dye...?
Oh, I see. Well, I suppose some people do not wish to go back because they have lived their lives. Or they do not have such a good place in which to return. For that, I can't fault them.
[This is the hundredth staring contest he's been in here... T-chan huffs quietly.]
Though it does put their teammates in a predicament.
Sometimes, in the moment, it feels like it may not. It's difficult to see a future where you are at peace; it feels unobtainable. I think for some here, too, their worlds may not be so wonderful.
But it's compassionate of you to desire a return for everyone.
Well, like, sure it feels like that. But everyone always says "it gets better," so you just have to believe that. Whether it feels like it will or not. It will.
And anyone here—we're all in this together, so. Getting weird about it is just a problem for everyone.
[He does not really have a horse in this race at all--the would rather stay dead one--but this is amusing to hear from Alex anyway. He tilts his head a bit to one side; his hand strokes T-chan a bit.]
Do you think you will still believe this about everyone if you happen to learn someone may have done bad things?

Oh, hello. Yes. Do you want to join us? T-chan wanted to go down.
[Did he..................]
I like the color of your hair. It's very nice. Like the sea.

Oh—uh, thanks. My roots are gonna be showing by the time this is all over, though. [ blegh ]

[ who's to say. ]
Mmmmaybe. I dunno, it's not the biggest priority.

[T-chan peers at Alex.]
The biggest one is revival, I'm guessing?
no subject
she peers back at T-chan....... hello.... ]
Yeah. I've heard there are a few people who don't think it's that important, but uh. I do.
no subject
Oh? Did someone say they weren't interested in going back?
no subject
I've heard something like that, anyway. Through the grapevine.

no subject
Yeah... I hope they don't, like... Bring anyone down with them. Hopefully they'll still do their best.
[ maybe she should not say that about teams she's in competition with, though? oh well. ]
no subject
If there is an opportunity to remain here afterward, maybe they will still consider working together.
[He gets it.]
no subject
I've heard we can't stay here, though. Plus—even if you don't want to go home, would you really want to stay here?
no subject
You never know, some people may prefer being erased for good.
[This is so damn dark; however, he is not the life police. Not that sorta life anyway...]
no subject
... Sure, but... they... shouldn't?
[ "just don't be suicidal" ]
no subject
Does it bother you if others are not in the mindset to live again?
[No judgement. He's just curious.]
no subject
[ it isn't really any of her business but too bad. ]
It's—it's life. Even if things are bad, they can get better.

When this is all over, if neither of us have been erased for good, I would love to chat with you again to see if things have changed.
