[Anonymous, Handwriting Very Much Disguised]

[screwthegods]

What would you do if there was a way to bring the dead back to life outside of these walls?

If I could bring back those I cared about, I would try to do it.

[screwthegods]

Regardless of the cost?

[norainu]

I think my duty would be to destroy it.

[screwthegods]

You think?

And would you abide by your duty?

Tried it. It doesn't work.

Re: [Handwriting Disguised]

[screwthegods]

There are dead living here.

[totally disguised]

[not-rly-fai.livejournal.com]

If there's a way, I'll find it.

Re: [totally disguised]

[screwthegods]

No matter what might stand in your way?

[idolism]

Simply a whimsical desire, since there's not.

[screwthegods]

This place is proof otherwise.

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

I've been wondering that myself. Some people are better off remaining dead.

[screwthegods]

But not all. So the question remains, what would you do?

I plan to bring him back. I'll play 'God' if it means he can get back the life I let him throw away.

Re: ((Anonymous as always))

[screwthegods]

A bold statement. It seems you've considered this thoroughly.

[broken-exorcist.livejournal.com]

It's not something you ought to meddle with.

[screwthegods]

And if someone were to try?

Those who would consider reviving the dead should be prepared for any consequences. Going against fate can be dangerous, for man and gods alike.

Even so, I'll continue to bring her back as long as I'm able.

[screwthegods]

Your words are very true. Do you have experience in this area?

*anonymous, and also shakey*

[vladville.livejournal.com]

But the afterlife can be so entertaining.

Re: *anonymous, and also shakey*

[screwthegods]

Can it? And what is the afterlife like?

[Ttly Anon, what. >:[ Writing's still flowery, though.]

[clockmongler.livejournal.com]

The dead only quickly decay. But I would fix my reflection, repair the washed out painting, had I the ability.

Re: [Ttly Anon, what. >:[ Writing's still flowery, though.]

[screwthegods]

The body, perhaps. But souls can be so much stronger than the flesh.

And what is broken about your reflection that you can't fix?

[Anonymous]

[muted-flame.livejournal.com]

It can't be done without consequences.

Re: [Anonymous]

[screwthegods]

I never assumed otherwise.

[empty-death.livejournal.com]

I would do anything, give up anything for such knowledge.

[udo-retrovirus.livejournal.com]

It'd hurt, but I'd leave them be. A guy I knew once said "death is rest for the soul." Quoted someone else, actually. I believe him now.

[screwthegods]

Have you died, then?

(very anon)

[iamyourflower.livejournal.com]

I can understand why one might desire for such a thing, but it would be more merciful to leave the departed as they are.

Some do not undertsand the blessing that mortality is.

Handwriting is shaky, erratic

[outtokillhim.livejournal.com]

Anyone who tries it is a fool of epic proportions.

[very anonymous]

[ofthescore.livejournal.com]

If I'd had the choice, I don't think I would want to have been brought back.

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

That...depends. Would there be a catch? Would they be back as their regular selves or

It's better to leave it be. It always is. You only end up hurting people.

[never-learns.livejournal.com]

I... if it could really be them, totally, with all their memories in tact and everything, then I wouldn't be strong enough to not do it.

[anon, slightly rigid handwriting]

[thehellismycar.livejournal.com]

what's dead should stay dead

[jurisfictional.livejournal.com]

There's a way to do it where I'm from, but it's kind of hard getting to the underworld and you have to exchange someone for another. You can't get something for nothing.

I...kind of have mixed feelings about it, because I'd be dead now if someone hadn't exchanged herself for me. I can't help but feel that there's something wrong about mucking with what's meant to be, but I don't know that I wouldn't offer myself up in an instant if I had a chance to save someone I loved.

[himetsuru.livejournal.com]

The teknology to do so is no longer axesable. It has ben sealed and the key lost. There is a reson it was once forbiden.

Re: [anon, slightly rigid handwriting]

[screwthegods]

There a reason things are forbidden, but the reasons aren't always justified.

And the technology is closer than you realize.

[totallytheseme.livejournal.com]

Sounds like the premise for a bad zombie movie.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Easy - some people I'd kill twice.

[braidless.livejournal.com]

I can understand why it would be tempting for people to meddle with such things, but seeing that death is a natural part of life, it seems foolish and cruel to pull people away from their rightful unity with the Force.

[Strikeout illegible]

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Even if they were slaughtered prematurely?

That sounded rude, but it's an honest question. If someone were murdered and you could have saved them, would you?
