[ Bruce has, somewhat predictably, been hiding out in his room all day today. Towards the evening, though, he ventures into town. He doesn't do any window shopping and in fact he looks a little peeved as he makes a bee-line for a flower shop, purchases something and then heads back to the castle.

From there he goes right up to the roof to sit on the ledge and watch the sun setting over the horizon. He doesn't move for a very long time, instead just sitting there and thinking, gently cradling two white roses in his hands.

Bother him if you like, but saying he's not one for conversation at the moment would be an understatement. ]

Hm. Nothing more than what I've heard.

[ Sadface. He was hoping for new info. ]

There's one potential problem with that theory, though. This place has changed into locations from people's homeworlds, and there's a number of universes with similar versions of the same cities.

[glances up at him, before scribbling again]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

If it was just a shape-shifter, I would understand taking the form of a city from memories, but you mentioned 'lives.' That tends to hold more weight than 'forms.'

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

I don't think it can create a life from memories.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she shakes her head, tearing off the page and starting a new one]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

[ He frowns a little at that explanation. ]

Can you define how you're using the term 'lives?'

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she'll nod, starting another new page]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

I'm not so sure this place does what you're thinking it does.

Have you heard what happens to people when they die here?

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she shakes her head]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

The castle takes their bodies and then they come back to life after two weeks.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[... blinks. doesn't look surprised.]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

If there are souls and 'lives' involved in all of this, it's anything but simple.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she tilts her head to the side curiously; she doesn't quite get what he means by 'anything but simple']

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Life and death... that's not something that should be brushed off easily.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she .... actually looks a little solemn here for just a moment; which is a bit of a contrast from the TOTAL LINEFACE she normally has]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

[ He nods, understanding her, but he's still not happy with the idea. ]

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[like her :'(]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

If there is any sort of natural order in this dimension in the first place.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[nods, and lets the pen rest on top of the notepad. this is all very confusing :(]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

[ He glances over at her with a thoughtful look. ]

What's your name?
