What do you believe happens to the dead once they leave the City?

I won't contest religious beliefs.


[Flagged to Dean // Open to Police Force Members and Affiliates]
I'd like to request a few days off, assuming no one else gets murdered. Please.


[ooc: Euphie left, she and Justin had a weird thing going on that was rather emotional, and Justin's dealing the only way he knows how that doesn't involve self-destructive habits he has outgrown, which is... thinking. (For those keeping score, he was already upset about Mara and the police force's lack of fixing things.)]

I don't...I don't know.

[He always assumed they just went back to being dead. He never tried to think about it, but Euphie...]

I don't think I want to know.

[othersdie]

You're not curious?

I would assume it depends on what they believe in.

At least they are free from this place.

[othersdie]

That's what I've thought.

Being dead and out of the City impermanently isn't great.

[had_not_lived]

You told me once--

I'd like to think I-

I'm not sure if there even is an answer to that. Not a simple, single one for everyone, i think.

[othersdie]

You don't need to think about it, Neil.

[He'd really rather you not, and reminding you that you're dead makes him feel like an ass.]

[oceantrauma]

I don't know.... But I hope it's the best thing for them, or something happy. Peaceful. They deserve that, don't they?

[He doesn't know about Euphie yet, but once he hears about it he'll be pretty bummed out.]

[othersdie]

That would be nice, for people who deserve that.

[thenormalsquint]

I think you know the answer to this better than any of us, sweetie.

[othersdie]

I don't want that to be the answer.

[hatedbyfanboys]

... Never really thought about it, to be honest.

[othersdie]

That's not unusual. Thinking about death can be unnerving.

[minigolfandsushi]

...they die? [duh]

Unless they become zombies. You know, it would explain so much about Night of the Living Dead.

[othersdie]

After the City. There've been zombies in the City before.

[dignity_misery]

They're dead.

[She's dead. Blonde's dead. You're dead.]

[othersdie]

And?

[uprouse]

Aaaah. Are you asking to be convinced?

[othersdie]

Convinced of what?

[whitetwoguns]

Now that sounds like a loaded question if I ever heard one. Don't be picking a fight you're not ready to get into, pal.

[othersdie]

I'm not asking to fight. I'm asking out of curiosity--to see if anyone has had experiences that differ from mine.

Private

[worldofourown]

...Does that matter?

At least they're not here.

Private

[othersdie]

Some people like being here.

[hatesthefood]

They go back to rotting in the ground.

[othersdie]

Were they rotting in the ground? Does the City bring physical bodies here and somehow mend them if they're beyond repair?

[valentineluke]

Returned to the Afterlife.

[othersdie]

And what's the Afterlife?

[aperfectthird]

They return to being dead. What else would happen?

[othersdie]

I know that, but what is being dead entail? Nothingness? Some kind of continued existence? I know what I've experienced; I want to know what others know.
