[He's been thinking about death a lot lately. He didn't attend the funeral if only because it seemed too personal even despite with the open invitation. But he did take a walk through town and say a few words for the people who'd died. Normally he'd keep it to himself, but tonight he's more curious then usual]

[So he writes this in a short, plain print, nothing like his usual messy scribbling: ]

We know not everyone gets to come back after they die here. [Namely the townsfolk, but... a few of the residents as well...] Where do you suppose they go instead?

M-Maybe... they go home?

[...good job Q, ask a serious question and the first person who responds is a little kid. You're the best]

[Pauses a moment... before writing back, sort of... slowly... lkjslkdf this is terrible]

Maybe. Hopefully, right?

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

Mm...

Why were you asking that?

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

Just [...] curious what people would say. Seems like it might be on peoples' minds lately. [What with... Arthur dying... Why is he having this conversation with this kid baww]

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

D-Do... you think anyone knows?

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

The castle? [Makes... an amused sort of sound, but continues writing]

No one we could talk to. Probably.

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

[hmmm, that makes her think]

Has anyone ever talked to the castle before?

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

People have tried. [...wait, wasn't there...? Oh yeah... that thing] There was a box that could speak for it, for a little while.

[...] I think.

[He might be able to if he was willing to lose himself again. Which he's not. And hopefully never will be]

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

Hm... [dis is interesting]

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Vague smile at the journal. Dis kid... ('8]

What are you thinking?

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

I'll try talking to it too! Then maybe... it can see that it's making a lot of people really worried.

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[....oh my god Nanakooooo ;A;]

I think [...] that would be good. Maybe I'll try too.

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

[asdghas they're gonna solve all the things ;A;]

D-Do you think it'll talk back? [she sounds a little nervous at the prospect, but she's trying to hide it]

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[AAAAAAH LKASDF He wants to talk to her and reassure her, but then his ~cloak of anonymity~ would be ruined )8]

Maybe. Can't hurt to try, right?

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [it's a'right.... SHE BE TOUGH B)]

Especially if a lot of people do it...

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles faintly]

Maybe we can shout it into letting us leave.

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

Uh huh, and we can ask it to be nice.

[duchess-archer.livejournal.com]

Parents didn't try to explain this one to you?

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Aha... ha...]

No, my parents were rather absent in my upbringing.

[duchess-archer.livejournal.com]

Well, then, depends on your religion. But probably nowhere.

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Circles 'probably nowhere' and scribbles a question mark next to it]

You're an atheist then?

[duchess-archer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's the least complicated option.
