...You know, I'm really lenient about what passes for 'evolving' around here? I try to not get into the whole 'okay, but it doesn't work like that' thing, because nothing makes sense around here. I get it.
But at the same time, there's got to be a line in the sand somewhere.
[And that is said with all the exasperation of a man who is building up to something, sounds like. Sure enough, there are a couple of photos posted to the network eventually, and...well.
For all intents and purposes, they look pretty normal?
However.]
...I'm seriously not sure if this counts as evolving or just deciding to be perpetually pissed off.
I mean, I can't blame it? If somebody shoved a damn rock in my face and expected me to fix my damn fighting skills with it I'd probably be pretty mad too. But still. "Come the hell on" has got to be a totally reasonable response to this.

But sometimes -
[And he hesitates for a moment, and it's brief but it's still there, even if he shakes it off well enough.]
Sometimes people choose to go there. And that can be for depressing reasons, and a lot of the time it is, but sometimes it's because there's nothing else for them to get out of life, you know? They got everything they wanted, they don't have any unfinished business, they don't have any regrets or despair or whatever.
So in cases like that it's not bad, you know? I'm not going to be cute and say that it is what you make of it, but it doesn't have to be Hell. It's just easier to explain it that way - Heaven or Hell, reincarnation or the void, to most people it makes more sense that way.

[ But, well, that's because she can't stand being alone to begin with. ]
But I can maybe imagine someone choosing to go to the void because...maybe they don't want to let go of their old life by starting over? Maybe they have too many happy memories from their lives before they died that they'd never be able to remember again if they reincarnated...so if they're in the void, they'd never have to forget them? Would that make sense? I mean, when you're in this tower, or this void...do you get your memories back of your other lives, too? If you don't, and it's just you and your memories from that most current life, I can maybe see people not wanting to let go.

I can't say too much about the void for sure, though, outside of what I've been given to work with. Arbiters don't die, and we're not really alive either. We just judge people, because that's what we were created to do.

[ There's just a sigh, as if she's thinking about it... ]
So was coming here your first time out of that tower, then?

It's nice, though, isn't it? The sun and the sky, and the fresh air, and the water...and the people, especially! From one sheltered person to another, I can get what that's like. ...Would've been nicer if you could've seen it on your own terms, I'm certain, but, hey, a vacation's nice, in any case, right?
