[ kill the ecosystem ]

Yeah. Ha.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Anyway, I don't believe we've met? You can call me Kyon.

[thneed]

The Once-ler. Hi. You're right. We haven't met.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Once-ler, huh? Nice to meet you.

(What kind of name is "The Once-ler"? ... Then again, like I can speak with something like "Kyon".)

[thneed]

Can being dead and meeting at a table where a guy is now double-dead really count as a nice meeting? ...Don't answer that. Nice to meet you too.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I can certainly agree that the circumstances could've probably been better.

[thneed]

Much better and far less deader.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

At least being dead hasn't been too bad so far... I mean, I haven't really noticed too much difference to actually being alive. Other than the fact you can't really die again.

[thneed]

You haven't notice? Okay. Dying thing aside, you must have had a pretty dull existence if there isn't a difference.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I can't recall it in detail, but I can say that I was going to a school that was pretty similar to the one we've got here.

[thneed]

Super interesting life you had there. You really don't have details?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Apparently, some people experience some memory loss when they first turn up here.

[thneed]

Right right. I heard that. I wonder if hitting you really hard in the head would help.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Isn't head trauma supposed to be a cause of amnesia, not a cure?

[thneed]

It'd be like smacking a fuzzy TV on the side and then the picture straightens out. Only it'd be your head.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'm not sure that's exactly the best metaphor.

(... Besides, aren't issues with TV picture usually the result of faulty reception or connections?)

[thneed]

Eh. Maybe not. It's not important anyway. We should be worried about the dead guy in the room. [ MOTIONS at...the body. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess. It's not like he's getting any deader though. I mean, you can't get much deader than dead, so he'll be fine eventually, right?

[thneed]

Or maybe you could get so dead you stop existing?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Oi oi, you're kidding right?

(... Then again, there is that "disappearing" phenomenon Yurippe and Otonashi described. But from the sounds of it, that isn't gonna happen from just being killed too much.)

[thneed]

Yeah. That seems far-fetched.

[ rubs the back of his neck then pulls his gloves up ]

Are you going to play the game?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Seems like more effort than it's worth. Maybe I'll just spectate.

[thneed]

I was figuring on doing that too.
