[nolongerslate]

I was. So was half this damn place, or so it seems. Something about our souls must have a damn red flag for gods or something.

[nometal_alchemist]

That many, huh? I guess we must have been marked by them somehow.

What kind of place is this, anyhow?

[nolongerslate]

We?

[nometal_alchemist]

*nods*

I might be the only one so far to make it this long without being pulled here... I'm Edward. I was on Delphinus.

[nolongerslate]

Edward? Wow... it looks like it's been decades.

[nometal_alchemist]

Five of them, to be exact. A good, long time.

[nolongerslate]

You look pretty good for... nearly seventy? If you were from my world, I'd assume you were a powerful sorcerer.

[OOC: did Ed ever visit Zel's world/Zel? Since this Zel isn't from the True End timeline...]

[nometal_alchemist]

*ooc: he probably did at some point, yes*

Not quite there yet, but it's getting close. My father aged well, himself, but he had some special circumstances.

[nolongerslate]

Yeah, better than most of us. Some didn't even make it out of Sabra alive...

... and I'm told because someone did something to time near the end, no one's memories agree about timing. So you might well remember me alive and well.

But don't tell me about it. If I got married and had kids and a home and all that, it'll just make me depressed to be stuck here.

[nometal_alchemist]

Ah... so many people are here from that outcome. The memories I have don't match at all.

I won't tell you about any of that, though, if that's what you want. Sometimes it's better to not know.

[nolongerslate]

Mmm... thanks.

[nometal_alchemist]

It's really nothing.

How long have you been here?

[nolongerslate]

Two weeks now.

[nometal_alchemist]

How's life been here for you?

[nolongerslate]

Not horrible. I've kept busy, and it's not like I'm among strangers. Once you get past the whole 'I'm dead and never going home' thing...

[let's ignore that]

[nometal_alchemist]

Haah... I've been trying to not think about that part of this, myself.

[nolongerslate]

It doesn't help, does it?

[nometal_alchemist]

Not particularly.

[nolongerslate]

Has someone explained this place's setup to you?

[nometal_alchemist]

A little. They've told me that everything's poisoned and I'll need to find an apartment to clear out and live in, but that's about all.

[nolongerslate]

[nods] The gods here say the original inhabitants were killed or starved out by the plants and animals, so we're to replace them. And it's pretty much a crapshoot about who they grab besides 'dead'... which is why they can't return us.

[nometal_alchemist]

And of course grabbing an unusual number of people who have a connection to Sabra La Tau. I'm not surprised there isn't any way back... I'm just hoping for a way forward.

[nolongerslate]

A way forward? Like what?

[nometal_alchemist]

To rest. To a peaceful place where we can be with our loved ones again.

[nolongerslate]

... You aren't thinking about killing yourself or something, are you?
