9th Death

[rightsiderequiem]

[for the past few days Dextera had been mulling something over. when he asked the network about how to sleep without dreaming, someone had told him about something called 'the best day of your life' and 'nice' and 'good days' too. having those things might make it a bit easier to sleep, but Dextera was coming up with nothing from home.

it was hard to call something nice or good when most of your memories consisted of you getting murdered, after all.

so that was why he decided to put the question to everyone here. they'd been able to answer his other questions, so why not this one?]

Can someone tell me what 'the best day of your life' looks like? Or a 'nice' or 'good' day.

I wonder how she did that. Was it nice there?

[He nods.] I got to watch the television and play with the other kids and everything.

[rightsiderequiem]

[there's a word he hasn't heard before.]

What's a television?

[alma_karma]

[That's okay. Someone had to explain it to Alma the first time too.]

It's like... this box with pictures in it, but the pictures move and talk.

[rightsiderequiem]

So someone makes a picture and puts it in that box and then it moves?

[it sounds a little weird but not too hard to imagine.]

[alma_karma]

Well sometimes it's like that. Those're cartoons, but other times it's like the video on these things. [He points at his own PDA, smudging his camera lens a bit.] Like they recorded people and put them on the box.

[rightsiderequiem]

And people watch the other people in the box? For fun?

[alma_karma]

Yep.

[rightsiderequiem]

It sounds like fun. Maybe I could try one sometime.

[alma_karma]

I hope so.
