[Audio | Prima's Temple]

[rungout]

[Waking up had been odd. His head was swimming and everything just felt off for some reason, but he couldn't quite place what was going on. Rung didn't remember returning to Prima's temple so that, in itself, was throwing him off considering the last thing he remembered was...

Well, he'd been out and about in Haven.

Sitting up slowly with a hand to his head, Rung looked around as he tried to make sense of things, growing even more confused by his presence here because, as of late, the only temple he'd been recharging in was Alpha Trion's. His optics narrowed a bit on the floor as he dug through his memories, trying to remember--

Wait.

Pain. He remembered pain but not the source. It was fuzzy but..

His hand lowered slowly, vents cycling softly as his optics dimmed now. He'd..died...hadn't he? That would be the only thing that made sense but how?

Glancing around the room after a long moment, Rung spotted his comm device on the makeshift desk and slowly eased off his bed to make his way over to it. Once he had the device in hand he found himself hesitating, staring at it as he debated his options before switching it to audio only, vents cycling heavily as his optics dimmed.]


Would..anyone be able to fill me in on what..I can't seem to remember properly?

[Give him a moment, Crow needs to process this....]

BUT YOU WERE DEAD!

[Audio]

[rungout]

Ah--yes I...suppose..I was.

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Well if you're gonna come back from the dead can you AT LEAST wait three days?!

[Audio]

[rungout]

...I...it's my understanding that it's been five?

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

...boy the time sure flies.

So how was the afterlife? Did you see God? Or were you reincarnated as Kim Cattrall? Or did you play chess with a tall pale Swede?

[Audio]

[rungout]

Ah--what--

I'm not..sure what you're talking about.

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

You know...an afterlife? The big sleep? What comes after death? What, do I need to get note cards for you?

[Audio]

[rungout]

Afterlife?

I don't recall anything like that? I feel like I just woke up from a long nap..

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

So there's just a big emptiness that stretches eternally after we die, huh? Man, Joel is gonna be disappointed.

Oh well! SO, is there anyway you can teach me how to come back from the dead?

....after you recover.

[Audio]

[rungout]

It's not something that's taught. From what I understand it..tends to happen often here in Haven.

You might want to ask one of the Firstforged?

[uknowuwantmebaby]

You mean...

[Realization incoming. The ideas you have given this robot, Rung.]

You mean I can't die? That means...I could do whatever I want! Think of all the boneheaded things I could do: skating backwards down a mountain, swimming in a toaster pool!

Why...I'm like a god!

[Audio]

[rungout]

[...Oh Primus that's not what he meant at all.]

I--you probably shouldn't do anything like that. Please?

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Why? I'm gonna come back if I die! No sweat!

Re: [Audio]

[rungout]

Yes but you have to get hurt prior to that and I'd rather not see anyone else hurt.

Please.

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

I'm not gonna get hurt, I'll just be completely obliterated by whatever crazy idea I'll get!

Re: [Audio]

[rungout]

That...you...

Please don't. Please?

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

If you wanna try to convince me, at least use some emotional bribery or blackmail.

[Audio]

[rungout]

I was hoping you'd see the stupidity in your idea.

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

I already thought about the odds of this being a stupid idea, and I'm doing it anyway!

[Audio]

[rungout]

I won't hesitate to talk to someone on the police force about this..

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

[This calls for his Clint Eastwood impression.]

Just so happens you're talking to a policeman. Name's Crow, of the DJD. Got a problem with that?

[Audio]

[rungout]

[That gets a flinch out of Rung, though the other won't see it.]

....DJD?

[Audio]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Yeah this guy named Darn said I could be his PR guy!

[Audio | Private]

[rungout]

You should stay away from him. You'll be much better off if you do.
