...Anyone who has experienced death and re-animation via the Twins and Ms. Sault, would you be kind enough to lend me a few moments of your time?

What do you want?

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

I have a few questions, if you wouldn't mind the inconvenience.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Depends on the question, now doesn't it?

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose I'll get right to business.

What was the nature of cause of death? Murder, accidental, suicide, etcetera.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

I don't see how that's any of your bloody business.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

I share your sentiments - it isn't.

However, I'm in a rather strange predicament, and these details are unfortunately necessary if I am to gage whether or not the rest of what you might tell me would be beneficial.

How about this - if you weren't murdered, we'll skip the conversation entirely.

[grumbles a bit, arms crossed, then reaches into his coat and pulls out a flask, taking a swig] Go on.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

How did those around you act upon your return? Specifically, anyone who knew you had been murdered, or had perhaps even witnessed it.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

He was a bit gobsmacked, yeah.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Was your murderer someone who had access to the Plane?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

I see... That must have been difficult.

I believe someone from my world will kill me, but as far as I know, they have no access to the Plane. There... is nothing stopping them from killing me as many times as is needed.

So, you see my predicament.

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

...Yeah?

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Mind if I pick your brain, so to speak?

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

Go ahead. I've got time.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

[L relaxes slightly.]

Much appreciated.

I understand this might be a private subject, and, of course, you're under no obligation to answer.

That said... were you the victim of a murder?

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

[shakes out his match and looks up at the stars]

Depends. I was in a gun fight and came out th' loser.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

I see. That's a rather unfortunate sort of luck.

...What sort of effect on your 'reality' was there once you'd returned? Specifically, regarding the people around you, if they were aware of your death.

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

I died in a ghost town. People don' know me from before there. Well, most o' 'em. I've got mebbe one person that acted like it was weird. He 'members different things too.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Hm... so, I take it you didn't come face to face with your killer, in that case.

What sort of 'differences' were there between your memories?

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

He's dead.

Little stuff. Place names are different, people are doin' different jobs, an' shit like that.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

That would explain it.

Would you describe your death as a 'catalyst' for this change in your friend's perception of things?

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

Huh.

[mutters something under his breath that sounds like 'where's that damn asshole?'] Nah. He's not th' same either.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

[L pauses for a moment, before asking:] Does your friend also have access to the Astral Plane?

[chapelsend.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he comes here a lot. Mostly for the food, I guess.
