Team Leeroy Jenkins discusses the afterlife

[22:14] <UM> Hey Lyra
[22:14] <SM> Alex!
[22:14] <SM> You didn't die.
[22:14] <UM> No, i just fell asleep
[22:15] <UM> i was a bit woozy from the fight
[22:15] <UM> so i said fuck it and found a couch
[22:15] <UM> probably not smart considering mosnters and shit were out there and bloodloss but i feel better
[22:15] <SM> Yeah, napping helps
[22:15] <UM> it did, for some reason
[22:16] <SM> So I got in another fight
[22:16] <UM> are you ok?
[22:16] <SM> Still alive
[22:16] <UM> then again i dont know your fighting ability
[22:16] <UM> thats good
[22:16] <SM> I made it work
[22:17] <UM> what do you fight with anyway?
[22:17] <SM> A pen.
[22:17] <UM> like a needle?
[22:17] <UM> is it big?
[22:17] <SM> No.
[22:17] <UM> or...
[22:17] <SM> It's a ballpoint pen.
[22:17] <SM> A little bit dented.
[22:18] <SM> A blue one.
[22:18] <UM> ok then
[22:18] <UM> do you...
[22:18] <UM> poke them?
[22:18] <SM> Yeah
[22:18] <UM> because i shield bash the mother fuckers and it takes me 2 tries
[22:18] <SM> It isn't all that useful against the shells
[22:19] <SM> Usually I just throw the monsters off high places
[22:19] <SM> Eh, I dunno.  I made it work.
[22:19] <UM> fun
[22:19] <UM> how many have you killed so far?
[22:20] <SM> At least two, probably three
[22:20] <UM> i have like 30 of this "grist" crap
[22:20] <SM> I've got 18
[22:20] <UM> but all 3 ive killed ive looted
[22:20] <UM> ok cool
[22:20] <UM> what do we do with it
[22:20] <SM> No clue
[22:21] <SM> I probably could have gotten a bit more, but I only got half the bodies of the things I beat
[22:21] <SM> One's off a cliff, one's crying its brains out and hiding.
[22:22] <UM> i scared one but
[22:22] <UM> it just ran away
[22:22] <UM> how the fuck did you shatter its sanity?
[22:22] <UM> frick* i forgot you didnt like that
[22:22] <SM> Thanks
[22:22] <SM> But I didn't mean it was crying from fear
[22:23] <SM> I mean its brain is literally leaking out its eye
[22:23] <SM> I had a pen.  I USED it.
[22:23] <UM> oh that makes more sense
[22:23] <UM> i just cant take the pen seriously
[22:24] <SM> Yeah, it's not that great.
[22:24] <SM> I mean, if I had a sword or a gun or something, this'd be much easier
[22:24] <SM> As is, I ended up giving one a tracheotomy with a mildly-spiky thing from my Sylladex
[22:24] <UM> i met someone with a bow but thats as good as it gets apparently
[22:25] <SM> You met someone?
[22:25] <SM> Wait, was it Tarane?
[22:25] <UM> oh right, it was the troll
[22:25] <UM> ah yeah it was
[22:25] <SM> Aww yeah
[22:25] <UM> i think she mentioned that
[22:25] <SM> I actually know her
[22:25] <SM> From before this whole mess
[22:25] <UM> right
[22:25] <UM> i think she mentioned you guys met
[22:25] <UM> because of death
[22:26] <UM> seriously wtf
[22:26] <SM> What?
[22:27] <UM> like she said she knew you because you both were death fan girls and looked up the same depressingass shit
[22:27] <SM> It's not depressing!
[22:28] <UM> if that isnt
[22:28] <UM> what is?
[22:28] <SM> I dunno, apathy?
[22:28] <SM> At least we have interests.  It could be worse.
[22:29] <UM> i guess
[22:29] <SM> Better than sitting around and waiting to die.
[22:29] <UM> didnt you suggest that insead of waiting you should try it
[22:30] <SM> Yes
[22:30] <UM> well
[22:30] <SM> But that's to see if respawning works in this game.
[22:30] <UM> in my unprofessional opinon
[22:30] <UM> dont
[22:30] <SM> Yeah, yeah
[22:31] <UM> come to think of it
[22:31] <UM> i think tarane also mentioned she wondered waht death was like
[22:31] <SM> Yeah, she's pretty cool like that
[22:32] <UM> "cool"
[22:33] <SM> So anyway, there are at least us three in here.
[22:33] <SM> Tarane's got a player of her own, but said she couldn't connect to them.
[22:33] <UM> and you also have someone "connecting" you
[22:34] <SM> Probably
[22:34] <UM> but they dont do shit?
[22:35] <SM> I don't even know if they exist, frankly
[22:35] <UM> did you get the machines
[22:35] <SM> Yeah
[22:35] <SM> But then nothing
[22:36] <SM> I dunno, maybe they died.
[22:36] <SM> Maybe they broke their computer
[22:37] <UM> my power was turned off so maybe they had somethings
[22:37] <SM> ??
[22:38] <UM> sorry "something like that"
[22:38] <SM> What do you mean?
[22:38] <SM> Their power ran out?
[22:39] <SM> I guess that could be it.
[22:39] <UM> or some other uncontrollable process
[22:40] <SM> Yeah, maybe
[22:40] <UM> its probably not because theyre a bad person
[22:40] <SM> Fingers crossed
[22:41] <SM> How many people do you think there are, in the heirarchy?
[22:41] <UM> who know
[22:41] <UM> at least 5
[22:41] <UM> plus i know people who are talkinga bout the game
[22:42] <UM> could be that theyre involved
[22:42] <SM> Yeah, some other people Tarane and I knew are apparently still communicating with her
[22:42] <UM> so a lot then
[22:43] <UM> could get complicated
[22:43] <SM> Alex, we're in a video-game afterlife that apparently transcends time
[22:43] <SM> This IS complicated
[22:43] <UM> good point
[22:44] <UM> but just the connecting circle
[22:44] <UM> thing is getting complicated
[22:44] <SM> What do you mean, circle?
[22:45] <UM> i mean
[22:45] <UM> unless its endless
[22:45] <UM> everyones gotta have a connecor and connectee
[22:45] <SM> Oh yeah, that makes sense
[22:46] <SM> Wait a minute
[22:46] <SM> If this IS the afterlife, then there's probably some arbitrarily big number, right?
[22:46] <SM> Of connections, that is
[22:46] <UM> greaaat
[22:46] <UM> so fucking complicated
[22:47] <SM> So everybody who dies ends up somewhere in the chain / loop
[22:48] <UM> hopefully not everyone ever
[22:48] <UM> i mean what are the chances 2 people who knew each other both die and are connected
[22:48] <SM> Apparently pretty good, since me and Tarane are pretty close
[22:49] <SM> You said you're able to text your friends, right?
[22:49] <SM> And Tarane was able to connect to ours
[22:50] <UM> yeah
[22:50] <UM> fuck so everyone who ever lived?
[22:50] <UM> jesus chrise
[22:50] <SM> Maybe
[22:50] <SM> Maybe you're supposed to be able to call the people you know
[22:50] <SM> That'd make it easy enough
[22:51] <UM> i guess
[22:51] <UM> or maybe its like in groups of who we know?
[22:51] <UM> then you must know someone i know
[22:52] <SM> I guess that might be it
[22:52] <SM> Except a hundred years difference
[22:52] <UM> then i guess that makes no sense
[22:52] <SM> So, I dunno, maybe I met the kid version of your teacher?
[22:53] <SM> Or the newborn of some old guy you happened across once?
[22:53] <SM> Or maybe there are more degrees than that
[22:53] <UM> maybe someone designed some tech i use regularly
[22:54] <SM> Oh yeah, maybe
[22:54] <UM> who the fuck knows, and honestly i dont care
[22:55] <UM> i just want to get through this
[22:55] <SM> Good point
[22:55] <SM> One sec, my earbuds are spazzing out.
[22:57] <UM> maybe tarane and us should get together
[22:58] <SM> Yeah, we gotta figure out how to meet up in person
[22:58] <SM> Easier to fight
[22:58] <SM> AND I'd get to see a troll
[23:00] <UM> me too
[23:00] <UM> then again i havent seen many people irl
[23:00] <SM> Well then it's decided
[23:00] <SM> Priority number 1 is getting us three together
[23:01] <UM> Yeah.
[23:01] <UM> I bet theres someting the game is letting us do that will allow us to gather
[23:01] <SM> Now gimme a sec, I gotta deal with the ghost of my earbuds or whatever it is
[23:01] <UM> ok cool
[23:01] <UM> see ya
[23:01] <SM> Later!
