[callsignhornet]

I have an important question for the sake of organizing information about the group.

Feel free to message me directly if you don't feel comfortable sharing publicly.

In the world you are from, what year is it?

Edit: record of death for me should be 2186. Or 2187, though it would be very early in the year.

1996
what difference does it make?

[callsignhornet]

I'm trying to see if we have any commonality in the times we were taken from our native worlds.

[ghostmoder]

sure, i guess, but why?
it's already pretty obvious that we're from all over

[callsignhornet]

If we can find commonality, we may find out why we're here.

[ghostmoder]

what do you mean 'why'
we're here cuz we're dead

[hold on. it takes a minute for the gears to turn in that head of his.]

unless you were supposed to go somewhere else too?
i thought it was just me

[callsignhornet]

I’m not sure if I was supposed to go anywhere, but I’ve dealt with things that can control people’s thoughts and worse.

Anything could be happening to us.

[ghostmoder]

well, i'm dead
i know that for sure

sounds to me like you're in denial or something

[callsignhornet]

Does this place look familiar to you? You seem very confident in the idea that you’re dead.

I’m overly suspicious - something is clearly happening to us, and we have to take the word of a person who has a lot of leverage over us.

[In truth, Allynbee trusts that the Ferryman isn’t lying but there’s clearly more to the picture than what they’re being told. ]

[Her question hits him sideways. It's a possibility he hadn't considered: that the unfamiliarity here isn't because of someone interfering with him after death, but before.

He's glad for the barrier of the network, in this moment.]

i mean
no
it wasnt like this at all the last time i kicked it

but i have to be dead
that was the whole point

[It would be, uh, extremely bad if he wasn't.]

[callsignhornet]

[She’s grateful that this is a message, so the kid can’t see the way she scowls at how convinced of his death he is.]

We don’t have to be anything.

Pre-mortem hallucinations are common. Several people here (including myself) are from worlds with abilities that are adjacent to mind-control and mind reading.

And even if we are dead, it means that we are dealing with something than can tamper with our soul/spirit

Or whatever you want to call it.

[ghostmoder]

im saying that IVE gotta be dead lady
ME
i dont give a shit what's going on with the rest of you guys

[that isn't really true, but he's kind of. having a moment.]

my ghost doesn't feel any different than it did last time
it's more like i got rerouted

[callsignhornet]

[Ever charming teenage solipsism. Great.]

Good luck with that then.
