Surprisingly enough, we all die in the end. So the bodies are above our heads.

That said, the dead do talk, and the man on the radio seems to be on our side. Interesting, don't you think? Finding him just might be the golden ticket everyone is searching, looking so hard for. The source of the radio broadcasts could be an exit.

Just a suggestion of where to direct the search party.

I do know the staff here seems to have the ability to raise people from the dead. Is that what you're referring to?

And who's this man on the radio? None of the other 'patients' have mentioned him to me, so this is the first I've heard of him.

No, I think he's referring to the fact that some of us are actually dead.

I don't understand. Are you saying people who died before coming to Landel's are still dead? I don't see how that's possible, seeing that I have a 'dead' companion who is very much alive and well.

[dead-draven.livejournal.com]

A little of both answers. I find it interesting how many of us are still quite dead, especially since I'd thought myself the one and only walking dead man. And the man on the radio? All you have to do is listen at night. You'll hear his call from every radio in the place.

I've been dead for quite some time. Them capturing my spirit form and putting it in to some sort of gigai (if that's what this is... who knows, something weirder could be going on) doesn't change what I am. They've sealed my power away and taken my sword, but I still am what I am.

[odzuchikodzuchi.livejournal.com]

So they're actually bringing back the dead? Not sure that's a smart thing to do.

[braidless.livejournal.com]

It appears that way. I can't come to any conclusions about whether it's good or bad until I fully understand what's happening.

[odzuchikodzuchi.livejournal.com]

Not a good thing where I'm from, nice as it might sound for people to get back people they miss. But maybe it's different here.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

It's a bloody stupid thing to do. Or it is where I come from. Without the right... payment, the cost is too much and what the attempt creates is...

It's a foolish thing to try and there's a reason it's forbidden.

[odzuchikodzuchi.livejournal.com]

Bloody stupid thing's a good way to put it where I'm from, too. You don't get back what you want that way, yeah?

It's not a surprise at all.

Let's talk, soon.

[dead-draven.livejournal.com]

That can be arranged. A place or a name might be helpful, however.

The schedule says that we're in the library this morning. If there's somewhere in there that we can talk, that's as good as the next place.

Look for the tattoos.

Hah, revealing my plan so early, I see. Not that I can complain; the more eyes looking, the more likely it is that no clue will be missed.

I would ask to meet with you again, as there was one item of note that I forgot to mention to you previously; however, that's something that will have to wait for another time. As it seems that you'll be busy until the end of my lifetime, or perhaps a bit longer.

P.S. It may be wise to still show some caution on the topic of the radio; while I can not dispute that it lead to something of value, the fact remains that it was not unguarded. Only those who have numbers, skill, or both should search for those clues... or a certain undying watchman.

Radio waves work best when they're high up, unless the laws of physics have are different in this place. Is there an ariel on the roof? Not sure that's where they'd be transmitting from, but it's a start.

-Ed

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

An interesting theory; I would assume that the laws are the same in every situation, but as we know that isn't always the case. I haven't been able to get onto the roof to see, but it is something to investigate.

My problem is if you are correct and there is an antennae on the roof for the radio; if the Head Doctor hates whomever is giving us the clues, why wouldn't he tear it down? And if he doesn't, then why go through so much effort to pretend he does?

As usual, there are only more questions and not nearly enough answers.

All of a sudden I have meetings left and right. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but I should be free by sometime this afternoon. Look for me, I'm curious about this item you mentioned.

P.S. That's an excellent point. Still, as you said, the more eyes looking...

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

I would say that your schedule is looking lively, but under the circumstances...

I'll see if you're free later in the afternoon; I'll probably be spending this night with Edward, so we may not be able to meet tonight, but certainly either today or tomorrow. This point isn't as pressing a matter as the other things, but it does have me wondering.

It disturbs me greatly that some here speak of death so casually. While it is true that it is an inevitability - and as someone who has investigated murder cases, it is very true that the dead speak, but it's not with words, most of the time. We have spirit mediums in our world - women who are trained to summon the spirits of the dead so that they may talk directly with a person, but this is a rare talent. The dead people themselves do not suddenly begin breathing and speaking again.

That said? I believe that some of the talk of death here is premature. Without a death certificate, or a witness to the death - admittedly, a hard thing to come by in this place - we can't know definitively that someone is dead.

I know we are pulled in from different worlds and different times now. But in some cases, I don't think people were pulled in from death. Maybe some of the reports are accurate - as morbid as that sounds to me - but there's one, in particular, that I've heard since I've been here that I refuse to believe is correct. Wright isn't dead, damn it, despite what may have happened before he woke up here.

I apologize; I suppose I should stop ruminating and get to the point. Do you have any more information at all about the gentleman on the radio? I've not heard him speak, personally.

[dead-draven.livejournal.com]

The paradox of the dead walking is a total conundrum, I fully admit. I don't pretend to understand what I am and don't expect anyone else to. However, that doesn't mean that I'm not quite sure that I am in all definitive senses of the word, dead. My heart does not beat, I do not have to breathe or eat or sleep. I died and was buried and rose again, but not as anything close to a Holy Ghost.

That said, you may be right. Some people who claim to be dead may not be. But I wouldn't discount anything, since it seems that, at least here, anything can happen.

I heard him once a few nights ago, and then heard of him from a friend last night. He seems to be a helpful sort, sending out messages and clues on where to find useful items...and the man on the intercom has some sort of long-standing grudge against him that I think is reciprocated. Whether it is just to spite him or he truly wants to help, the man on the radio seems to be on our side.

If someone says they're dead, you should probably believe them.

If nothing else, arguing with a dead man isn't very productive. We're stubborn bastards.

Re: ((posted anonymously))

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

If it were anyone else in this world, I would believe it. But not him.

[beforehertime.livejournal.com]

It goes the other way, too. Some of us got pulled before we really got to live.

[dead-draven.livejournal.com]

And for those in that situation, my hope is that their stay here will be short. Then again, I doubt anyone feels differently.

[beforehertime.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it mess up the space-time continum or something to know ones future, though? What will happen when we DO get out of here?
