I have a question for the group. Has anyone tried to find family or friends they have lost over the years, or a trace that they might have passed through the Netherworld? Have you been successful?

If not, would you? What would you say to them if you managed to find them?

i'm fairly newly deceased myself so i'm probably not in a position to talk, but i think i'd be happier if they went to a more peaceful afterlife than this
it's been long enough that i don't know if i'd have the words - which people would say is quite rare for me hahaha

Normally I would welcome you here, but I would not wish this place on anyone
Of all of the afterlifes I know of, this is one of the last places I would want anyone to be sent to

I can understand that. I wonder if I might feel the same way if I were to find the people I know and love in this place
Beyond apologizing, I'm not sure what I would say

[ittoryu]

are you rather familiar with afterlifes then? this is the first i've been to

well, in the end all you can do is try. avoid it and you really will never find the words... though i suppose that doesn't mean much for a hypothetical scenario.
if someone i didn't expect to die showed up here though, i'd probably kick their ass all the way back to living hahaha

I am, although it is a recent development. Even then, this is the first one that I've been able to see with my own eyes.
Most of my work involves helping others move to their next destination. Whether that happens to be the afterlife is impossible to say

That makes two of us. That isn't to say that the person I'm trying to find deserves to be here, but I think you understand what I mean.

[ittoryu]

oh? that's quite the curious job! how did you end up with it, if i might ask?

yes, of course. well, the idea of what a person does to deserve a miserable afterlife probably varies depending on who you'd ask, anyway

[windsongs]

I would like to keep that a secret, since it's very personal. I hope you can understand

What sort of person do you believe deserves an afterlife like this, if you don't mind my asking? I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on the matter
