When mortals die, they go to heaven. If you believe their religions, they also go to hell, or they are reincarnated.

What do you believe happens to gods and shinki when they die?

Gods and shinki can die?

[rev13_3]

We die as easily as mortal humans do.

[madcuriosity]

Oh... I didn't... know that. I suppose... everything must die, even gods.

[rev13_3]

'Must'? Perhaps. If a god is permitted to age, who can tell how long they will live? Or how long they would remain sane, when faced with eternity?

But I don't speak of natural death. Gods and shinki can die, because we can be killed. And so far, only the oldest seem able to return.

[madcuriosity]

Do we age? Gods, I mean? Do shinki?

But if this is heaven, and a god or shinki dies, wouldn't they just come back to this heaven?

[rev13_3]

Do you think this heaven is full enough to hold all the dead from all the worlds who have ever lived?

[madcuriosity]

It's heaven, why shouldn't it be able to?

[rev13_3]

I said full enough, not big enough.

[madcuriosity]

How can heaven get too full? That even makes less sense.

[rev13_3]

[ Are you even fucking kidding him right now. ]

How many people do you think are in heaven here? How many people do you see every day? A few hundred? Perhaps a thousand?

[madcuriosity]

Then there are other heavens. You said it yourself. But I'm talking about this heaven with the people already here.

[rev13_3]

That is a theory I would be happy to help you test.

[madcuriosity]

Oh! How very kind of you! [Nope, she doesn't understand it.] But it's your theory, isn't it?

[rev13_3]

Perhaps there are other heavens. Wouldn't you like to find out?

[madcuriosity]

I suppose I can certainly ask around.

So curious! But Zeno is already wasting this character's time today testing these things. If your feelings are hurt, Zeno promises to make it up to you. As a god of youth, Zeno feels responsible for everyone here!

[madcuriosity]

Oh! I'm a goddess of youth as well! Youth and springtime! It's very nice to meet you,
Mr. Zeno! And how very kind of you as well to be helping this person with their theory!

I think science is very interesting though I don't understand it very well.

[eternalshield]

Well, miss isn't the first nor the last! Zeno doesn't get it, either.

That's a funny coincidence. They say Zeno is Hebe from a land called Greece.

[madcuriosity]

I'm a norse goddess! I know a bit about Greece! I never went there but it's something mentioned in history books all the time!

[eternalshield]

No idea what 'norse' means, but a bit is more than Zeno knows, definitely. What do the books say?

[madcuriosity]

Norse is just a way to call something from Norway and the other places around there. Something from Greece would be called Greek, and something from England would be called English or British.

Well, Greece is made up of dozens and dozens of little islands with one big peninsula. They're the... founders of democracy! Whatever that is.

[eternalshield]

British wouldn't be from Brit? This world is a strange one.

Which way to the way that's Nor? Is it close to this "Japan" of the native gods?

[madcuriosity]

No, but England can also be called Great Britain, thus "British!" See?

Not the way to Nor, Norway! Nor-way as in one word. And it's west of Japan! West and north and not at all close by.

[eternalshield]

Why's the Britain part great, but not the Land of Eng?

[madcuriosity]

I don't know. I didn't name it. And it's not "the Land of Eng" it's England.
