Okay, I've got a poll for ya.

On a scale of one to ten, how happy are ya to be alive?

Because I just got out of hell to fall into another hell and now I'm here, in the unbroken flesh! There's gotta be more people like me out there, right? Did any of you come from a nasty place before here?

I would say 6 my lord.

[ballisdeath]

'My lord'? That's new... just in the middle?

I'm a ten outta ten outta ten. I was doomed twice over and I'm not gonna forget dyin' anytime soon.

AHAHAHA I THOUGHT I SENT THIS!

[song_princess]

Yes, if only because I want to be with my friends and family. I miss them so.

That is great to hear. That you are okay especially with this life that you have been granted.

Does it count if you aren't alive, strictly speaking?

(More seriously: an eight at the very least, and emphatically yes.)

[ballisdeath]

Thank god it ain't just me! Everyone here seems super peaceful and stuff...

I mean, I've died, but I feel pretty alive. And they said my bus doesn't run back home ever, so I guess I'm stuck here.

[. . . ?

Wait a second.

Oh. Oh no.]

How many of your classmates are here?

[ballisdeath]

...

S- shit, dude, you know me?! As far as I know, I haven't seen anyone, but it's farm as far as the eye can see! Who knows who's here?!

[agradecido]

[Now this is interesting. It's a good thing he's had a while to get used to the whole electronic-communication-device schtick.]

Olympia wasn't terribly nasty, but things happened now and then that shouldn't happen to anyone. [Like cultists kidnapping idol singers.] It was less quiet when I left, however, it was a city much like any other.

Ah, and in answer to your actual question, typically around eight or so.

[ballisdeath]

Good, man, because I've done this multiverse hop before, and there are way shittier places you can end up. I'm never going to a summer camp for the rest of my life. If I have kids, they'll be banned from them.

Apparently 'getting people in a group to murder people' is a thing out there.

[magitrap]

Depends.

This place is far too rustic, but I'm glad to be out of where I was.

[ballisdeath]

Yeah? I'm hearing that from all over. It seems there's a lot of shitty places someone can come from.

What about you? What's your story?

[righteyed]

ten.



I greatly enjoy farming, and to not have to fight or worry about another's welfare...It is selfish, but I find myself relieved all the same, even for a little while. I think knowing that I can go back, and knowing that I am not missed at all, helps keep the rating so high.

[ballisdeath]

Ayyyy, here we go! Another ten out of ten! I feel you, I'm not going back because I bit the dust, so frankly almost any place is better than being dead.

[ofmisery]

It varies day to day but right now it's on the higher end. The simplistic beauty of this place is infectious. I'll have to see how long until it lasts.

[ballisdeath]

Hey, here's hoping it lasts. They said my bus doesn't run home so I'm living out my golden years here whether I like it or not.

[bloominglillie]

Um... No, I didn't...

But I'm sorry to hear you did? Uh... Is this really hell to you? Can I do anything to uh... make it more bearable, maybe?

[ballisdeath]

No, no! The other places were hell! Now I'm free as a bird! And Mami's here with me... I couldn't ask for more. If anyone needed a reset, it was me.

[fragilesoul]

I would say eight.

A big improvement to how I felt some time ago. I guess that is the reason why I can't answer with ten, even through I wish that I could because currently I have the feeling, that for the first time my life goes well.

Uhmm ... I am not sure what your hell was like but I can relate to that part of what you said.

[ballisdeath]

It was... a murder game.

We were given a motive that was usually life or death. If no one killed by the end of the week, either all of us died or one of us did and we had to have a trial to find out the killer.

Brutal stuff, yo.

[poisontippedcure]

I wouldn't say a nasty place, no, but I would be lying if I said arriving here wasn't a relief.

[ballisdeath]

Good to hear it! What was your place like?

[fashionbullet]

A perfect ten.

[She says this without even the slightest hint of hesitation.]

Don't really want to get into detail about how things were back home, but let's just say it was a shitshow for a while.

[ballisdeath]

Hey, yo, I feel you. It's been the same way for me. But I got out and I got to bring my favorite person with me, so it's all good!

[ofobedience]

I haven't decided yet.

As to your other questions, I came from two different sorts of hell, prior to here. This place, however, doesn't seem so bad.

[ballisdeath]

Well, it's pretty much the antithesis of bad, unless you hate yardwork.

...

Which don't get me wrong, I totally do, but I don't have to do it.
