 Every living creature will die alone.

Rather a cynical sentiment, friend.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

That would depend on your point of view.

[thymeline.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

Do ye fear Death? Or is it loneliness that troubles you?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

You presume too much, Madame. Though ...

*looks down* Both, in a sense. I do not like uncertainties and death or dying is as uncertain as they come.

As for loneliness, well. *wryly* It has been my greatest companion. Why should I be troubled by something that gives me comfort?

*a small mongoose runs in. sits in front of Erik on its back legs and looks up at him with what could almost be called...a smirk*

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*stares at it with a raised eyebrow, rather bemused and bewildered by its appearance, wryly* A rodent come to cheer me. My evening is now complete.

[no-black-sheep.livejournal.com]

*gives him a decidedly insolent look...even for a rodent before morphing into her less furry self*

As if I could cheer you.

*eyes widen at her transformation but he simply props his chin up on his hand, shaking his head slightly* I believe that I will never become accustomed to your sorcery, Madame.

Stranger things have happened.

[lost-la-femme.livejournal.com]

Rather a sweeping statement, isn't it?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Sweeping, Madame? How so?

[lost-la-femme.livejournal.com]

Well, sounds to me like you're making a statement about something you don't have any control over, unless you're yet another one of these gods. You aren't, are you?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

No, I most certainly am not a God, though there seems to be quite a few of them flitting about.

Not to cast aspersions on your opinion but it is not the circumstances of our deaths that will cause us to die alone. It is an experience only you might enjoy, not to be shared by anyone else. No two deaths are alike and for that reason every living creature on Earth will die alone.

I rather find it a comforting prospect.

[rose-isnt-red.livejournal.com]

I've never really thought about things like that before.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

And how does it appeal to you?

[rose-isnt-red.livejournal.com]

I'm not scared. I spend most of my time alone to worry about dying alone. What about you?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Now that will not do at all. If you are to ponder a lonely death at least do so in the company of others. Always strive for irony and life will be complete.

Personally, I find it a comforting thought.

[singchristine.livejournal.com]

Indeed, friend. And so shall I.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

And so shall we all. Is there not a comfort in that?

[singchristine.livejournal.com]

In its way. And also a terror.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

A terror, Christine? Life is a terror. Death is an escape from it.

[lily-kin.livejournal.com]

Adults worry too much about death. How and when... there's nothing you can do about it and once it's done it's over.

All that matters is what you do before.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*smiles* True enough, but adults are far closer to death than you are, Mademoiselle. Allow us our anxieties.

[ushas-the-rani.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear...would I be safe in guessing that you don't volunteer on a suicide prevention hotline?


OOC: *facepalm* Forgive the Rani. She's...well...the Rani.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

I am unsure what you mean by 'hotline', but certainly I would. *wryly* Suicide is not the most honourable death. At least have the decency to find a murderer.


[ooc: Haha XD]

[ushas-the-rani.livejournal.com]

I find that living is the best revenge. Death...regeneration...it's all frightfully tedious.

*smile* I'm the Rani.
