She didn't have many friends except for Roza? Maybe a few others
Not enough for a letter or anyone to care

I've noticed that humans' relationship to death in this world is different

[purpura]

i feel bad, not having anything of substance to write for any of them.

[endow]

It's not our fault we didn't know them!

there are other forms of expressing grief besides notes you know

[purpura]

well, yeah.

like? honestly asking, i'm at a loss here.

[endow]

[staring at her screen in disbelief for 1 minute straight]

Seriously? Have you never mourned the dead before?

a thought 💭

[purpura]

yeah i have. several times.

i meant more how do we honor those we didn't even know that well. i look at the letters and i can't think of anything.

guess there's not much to do about it now.

[endow]

I just gave you five things to do to honor them how much more clear do you need me to be

we could throw a party as well
too bad everyone is so sour about the accusations or we could have some real fun with it

[purpura]

"keep it simple, stupid." i guess you're right.

once this is all over, for sure. revels. libations. hell, wasn't sex the big thing around here?

[endow]

if I had a dollar for every time someone said that I'd be uselessly rich here

oooh, are you suggesting another orgy? I heard there was one a few weeks ago

[purpura]

guess trauma has taken the forefront, huh.

personally i wouldn't, but if that's what it takes for people to make up (and out), well, it might be what's needed.

[endow]

When people tell me I'm right? Hmm maybe! Or maybe I'm right all of the time ;)

half-orgy half-party then? I should take a poll

[her priorities....]

[purpura]

oh wise one, teach me your ways. i'm wrong more often than not.

so long as it's all willing and consenting, sure. i will party and let the human pile sort itself out.

that's a poll i would love to see.

[endow]

That was fast! You're fun

we'll see how the tides turn
I don't think a poll would do well at the moment! But after, why not?

[buio]

> I've noticed that humans' relationship to death in this world is different

What do you mean by that

[endow]

When you add impermanence to death it loses its importance
They're sad and they grieve, but some may welcome death sooner knowing they come back anyway

a big dream in my opinion

[buio]

I guess
I personally don't want to die even once so hopefully they leave me out of it

[endow]

Don't worry!

Are you still staying with whoever?? Finch? The others?

[buio]

Finch and Cellar yeah
They're gutted about Iggy. So am I

[endow]

Have you said goodbye?

[buio]

No not yet

[endow]

Why not?

[buio]

Scared to look at him

[endow]

Death is scary

you don't have to look at him to say goodbye if you don't want
it depends on if you want to remember how his body looked when he died or

if you'd rather a photo to enjoy, instead

[buio]

I don't want to remember anything about him being dead. It's fucked up. He was just there

(He just asked her, the other night, to come over and hang out with him and Finch.)

[endow]

Don't turn a blind eye because it's hard

Look at those feelings inside of you and face them. Someone has to. You can't make him do it when he comes back
