[comradely]

[ Hello Network, you're treated to a close-up of a single charcoal eye before the person who it belongs to moves back, revealing a young boy with messy black hair that's kept in place with a headband. His left eye is covered with a bandage and he has a very puzzled, uncertain expression on his face. ]

Is this thing on? [ The screen goes blurry for a moment as he taps his NV before he seems to notice something and stops. ]

I was told this reaches some sort of network? [ If his expression is anything to go by, he doesn't... really get it, but he's pressing on regardless, suddenly a bit hopeful. ] And that maybe I could find someone I know on this. So I figured I should introduce myself so uh... Hey, I'm Obito Uchiha of the Uchiha clan from Konohagakure. [ Have an awkward wave and although he tries to keep a cool expression, he's failing because WOW this is uncomfortable and awkward. It's like talking to a mirror or something.

There's a long pause as he tries to figure out what next to say. ]

I've already been explained some things, so there's no need for that I guess. There's only one thing I'm wondering about though... [ He hesitates again for a moment. ] Does anyone remember dying before they came here?

[ And now it just got more awkward. Quickly: ] Uh, that's all! [ OBITO OUT. ]

No. I was alive and kicking when I arrived.

[ lol what is text function. He nods thoughtfully after reading that. ]

I see. I was thinking this might be some sort of afterlife, but I guess not then.

[reginagloriae]

Some people were died coming here, but not all. Maybe it's your second chance.

[tea_lover64]

No, certainly not. I was alive and well in Ba Sing Se.

[comradely]

That's good. [ But so very confusing SIGH.

Oh well, quick distraction, because he can't help but be curious: ] Ba Sing what?

[tea_lover64]

The largest city from my land. In translation it means Impenetrable City.

[Except for him, who had done so twice militarily]

[proxysproxy]

I didn't die, but there are those who were dead before they came here.

[comradely]

How is that possible? I'm not complaining, but...

video;

[proxysproxy]

I don't know. Something to do with the Core, probably.

[video]

[towerlocked]

[this is relevant to her interests] I have not heard of others claiming they were dead before their arrival.

[video]

[comradely]

Looks like I'm not the only one though.

[reassures]

You're an Uchiha?

Different worlds seem to have different rules about dying.

[ He perks up at that and nods before fumbling with his NV for a second so he can sort of half turn and show the clan symbol on his back. ] That's right! Do you know my clan?

You'd think death would be the one thing that remained the same, heh.

[hostage]

[Jesse can't help but look incredibly sad about that question.]

There's... lots of people that came here when they died.

Are you okay now?

[ video ]

[comradely]

[ Oh no dude, don't look sad. He quickly plasters on a grin and makes a dismissive motion with his free hand. ]

Well, then this is like a second chance, right? That can't be bad!

I'm fine.

permavid.

[symmachy]

[oh no he's adorable]

Sometimes people die before the come here, but not everyone does.

[comradely]

[ o hi pretty lady ]

That's so weird though, mixing the living and the dead like that.

[video]

[chiefdefense]

[Well yeah, bit of a weird question to ask when you just arrive somewhere new, but it's one Mia has an answer for.]

I hear it's not exactly uncommon to be brought from beyond the grave to this place, though it certainly seemed strange enough at the time.

[video]

[comradely]

So it's something you get used to then?

[text]

[rapturescreed]

Unfortunately. It's not something I like to think about.

permavid.

[comradely]

I'm sorry. At least we're not alone.

[video]

[theshortestbird]

That's a mouthful. [He smiles sympathetically.]

It's not actually that uncommon to come here after death. A lot of people here are from some time after they've died.

[video]

[comradely]

Is it? [ He returns the smile with a sheepish grin. ]

So people have been telling me. It's really weird.

[blondejokes]

U...Uchiha?

[ Oh god, DYING? What if he was one of the Uchiha to die during the massacre.... ]

[comradely]

[ SO OBLIVIOUS ]

Yeah?
