Here’s a question for you all: what do you think about death?

Considering the recent murders, I’d say it’s something to think about, isn’t it?

It truly brings in the question of whether or not death plays a relevant role here. People seem to be able to come back to life, but seems to go from god to shinki or even shinki to god. Regardless of the reason for the change in reversal, it seems that one element in particular remains missing: memories.

I’m curious as to why memories seem to be the important element in deciding between a god and a shinki aside from the obvious.

So, here’s another question: how many of you were previously shinki who became a god? If you don’t remember your time as a shinki, would you want those memories back?

I suppose so. If this afterlife is teaching me anything, it's that I didn't read enough fantasy.

I did see that. If it's linked to the BBS, it's possible that the other victims could have interacted with their killer here, too.

I know one of the Tanabata victims was Jennifer. Do you know the identity of the other?

[lostinshadows]

I'd say fantasy would be overrated, but considering where we are, it is a possibility nonetheless.

And since it's linked, the killer might be tracking this now, too.

I don't. I've never run into the other one before, but at least there's identity for one of the victims.

[skepticstarbuck]

The link is just theoretical, but any sensible murderer would be watching public discussions of his or her actions.

[Probably his actions; violent criminals in general and knife murderers specifically skew male, but without evidence Scully doesn't like to predispose herself to a solution.]

Luckily, you're anonymous. I'll be careful.

[lostinshadows]

Not unless they're too confident in their abilities.

Partially why I chose to be anonymous.

[skepticstarbuck]

I did say sensible.

For my own protection, I'll avoid agreeing to meet you in a dark forest.

[lostinshadows]

Good call. I would hope it'd be common sense not to meet in dark forests; it just makes it seem like a bad horror film.

[skepticstarbuck]

Not just a horror movie, but the part of the movie where everyone yells, "Don't go in there!" at the screen.

In any case, if you find anything interesting, you know who I am. Let me know.

[lostinshadows]

On another day, I'd suggest we actually watch a horror movie together to make fun of the people in it.

Will do. Be safe.

[skepticstarbuck]

If I knew who you were, I might take you up on it.

Same to you.

I'll be sure to message you privately next time when I'm not on anonymous.
