How are you thinking of this place?

Do you think you're a prisoner of some sort of powerful magic or do you think you're dead? Or is it something else?

If it's death, were you close to dying when you then woke up here? Because I know I wasn't. I cannot die so if this is death, I have some questions.

No secrets, between you and your sister?

How... honest of you two.

[ It is texted with a heavy dose of Silco's usual suspicion. ]

[rumination]

Diyu is the name of the underworld from my culture. The various courts hold demons that are not found here, and there are familiar markers that do not exist here.

But I am sure I am dead.

[dreamlords]

Why were you stuck there?

[dreamlords]

Yes.

Why shouldn't I?

[dreamlords]

She has ways of getting it out of me.

[dreamlords]

Because you're sure, do you think that means all of us are dead?

[zauneyete]

Hm. Yes, I know the type.

Annoying of them, isn't it? Although I suppose it serves you well know, if you can say such a thing with certainty.

[dreamlords]

Very annoying.

But she's one of the few siblings I get along with.

[telepathy]

good luck

[dreamlords]

Thank you.

[zauneyete]

Hm, I'm afraid I can't relate to that experience.

[ To be fair, the man he'd once called brother tried to choke him, and then Silco might have gone and tortured and planned to murder him several years later. It's complicated. ]

The knowledge is invaluable. Any other tidbits she offered, that might lead to us figuring out our little mystery here?

[dreamlords]

No.

Because I don't believe she thinks this place exists. The advice she gave me the last time we saw each other wouldn't work for this place.

[rumination]

Does it make a difference if we are alive or dead?

[dreamlords]

It does to me.

Because I would like to ensure that I will go back when this is over.

[rumination]

So you think there is an end date to this.

[zauneyete]

And yet here we are.

So either it's out of her "influence", as it were...

Or shielded from her knowledge.

[ She was death, and not Afterlife, right? Or some D-word equivalent of Afterlife. ]

[dreamlords]

You don't?

[dreamlords]

Or something else all together.

[zauneyete]

Mysteries on mysteries.

That's not encouraging for further illumination. I suppose further investigations are in order.

[rumination]

Should you focus all your time on predicting the future when there is help to be given now?

[dreamlords]

That's what it seems like.

Something to keep occupied, at least.

[dreamlords]

I can multitask.

[rumination]

Good for you.
You said you cannot die. So what are your theories on our presence here?

[dreamlords]

Powerful magic.

[rumination]

For what reason?
