[points to one of them: 🐍 Not all fear is so terrible. Maybe death is more frightening when you value life? More words for you soon -- let us know if you've received our letters too.]

Some of them are, but this one... this is a direct response to something I sent. Or at least... I think it is.

[psynchroneyes]

[ ... ? ]

From—who do you think?

[naeddre]

Sidon.

I sent a message with the little snake picture attached to it.

[psynchroneyes]

...

[ There's no hiding the skepticism on her face. ]

How? He's... y'know.

[naeddre]

I know.

But I don't have any other explanation for how specific it is.

[psynchroneyes]

That's... huh. Y'sure it's not someone playing a lame joke?

[naeddre]

It could be. But there are plenty of messages in there that mention our dead by name.

I suppose I don't see the point of an extended joke like that.

[psynchroneyes]

... Yeah, I guess it'd be kind of cruel to go on this long about it. And pointless.

[naeddre]

Unless someone is very dedicated to trying to make us think their souls are still out there somewhere.

It isn't impossible, I don't think. Not in my world.

[psynchroneyes]

... It isn't?

[naeddre]

[nods.]

... Well, we do have revival magic. Granted, it has limits, but.

[psynchroneyes]

—Huh?! Like, limits sure, but you can still raise the dead?

[naeddre]

[don't ask me too much about this because it's video game logic but]

You'd have to ask a cleric for the specifics, but... as long as their spirit hasn't left yet, it isn't impossible to return them to their bodies. Or so I've seen.

[psynchroneyes]

[ extremely fair ]

What. That's... insane. I didn't think something like that could be real.

[inquired]

[ me like hm i will check flatview from curfew last night! finds a tag relevant to me

anyway hi cleric here ]

I need to be there the moment of death or very close to it, and it has a great magical cost, but yes, I can revive someone who has died.

[psynchroneyes]

[ hewwo ]

You can do that?!

[inquired]

I am in fact a cleric.

[ uwu ]

[psynchroneyes]

Well, yeah... But clerics definitely can't do that where I'm from.

[inquired]

Perhaps that is the exchange - your world features technology. Ours is full of magic.

[psynchroneyes]

I— I guess so... I think it's more like, it's just not real back home, y'know? Otherwise I'm sure it'd be everywhere, too.
