[This is Jade. Jade is, surprisingly enough, in a hospital gown, looking uncharacteristically displeased with his current predicament. However, he is here to report on his findings, and report he shall.]

So a recent experiment has led me to the conclusion that one, indeed, does not perish upon mortal injury on this planet. Much like the creatures themselves, the humans and other inhabitants have inherited this similar ability... However, I've been assured that breaking of bones and other injuries do not have those same qualities to be healed with a potion or healing arte, much to anyone's dismay...

[So he didn't break his arm, at least. But that leads him into a small sigh, straightening a little in the bed. Honestly, he's sure he's fine now but he's too comfortable to get up.]

With that out of the way, I've noticed that a certain red-headed troublemaker by the name of Luke fon Fabre does not seem to be with us anymore. It's for the better, honestly, seeing as he was a little... unique. ['Special snowflake', is more like it, but Jade's being as close to nice as he can get for someone who just died. He shrugs his shoulders lightly, a small smile on his face. Secretly, he is glad Luke has returned home, but it is very secret.]

Unfortunately, not much else to report. I think I shall conclude here.


[Private to Dist]
Also, Saphir, when you're available, you wouldn't mind making a run to the library in this city, would you? Seeing as you've been here so long to become a Goldenrod expert, I'll need a bit of assistance. [Also known as 'come visit me, bring me a book, Jade is bored'.]

[It was bad enough to see Jade in hospital garb, but the rest of the post nearly gives Dist a panic attack.

Okay it pretty much does. It's a good thing he's on break at the base or the rest of the lab would get to see this meltdown.

By the time he responds, he's Dist the Runny absolutely livid.]

What is the meaning of this?

[He'll still go to library but...good god what is wrong with you, Jade.]

[A pleasant smile is all you get. Calm down before you need a tissue.]

I know, I must be under a psychiatric evaluation for trusting your choice in reading material. But what can I say? I must be a little desperate right now.

[video/private]

[ortion]

[He is not calming down any time soon, unfortunately.]

Perhaps that evaluation would be better used to understand why in the world you thought that experiment was a good idea.

[As much as he'd like to see Jade suffer at times, he'd much rather have him alive thanks.]

[This is the face of Disapproval and Why.]

...That information has long been proven; the last cases of almost-deaths are somewhat dated, but certain people still remember them.

[video]

[fonic_sight]

[It felt like the regions needed a first-hand refresher.]

I had a feeling it already had been, but the description surrounding it sounded far too much like a rumor for it to hold any concrete value.

[video]

[paladinlost]

There was that girl who was crushed by an Onix and at least one poisoning. Those were certainly not rumors. ...And I do believe there might have been an assassination, once, but that was long ago. Surely asking about them would have been simpler.

[So iffy on this "recent experiment", but it's better for her to not ask at this point..] No, I haven't heard from him after trying to call. His Flareon somehow found his way to me and I wanted to return him, but..

[fonic_sight]

Then I'm certain he's gone home. It sounds as though his party has been dispersed about.

[fairycircle]

I hope he stays out of trouble. He.. may have brought some of it on himself, but he seemed a bit too trusting of the wrong people. [Aka, Olivine's lighthouse incident.]

[Who is stupid enough to test if it's possible to die or not? Apparently some people were.

He's not going to comment on thatm, since there's something else that interests him instead.]

So he's left. Too bad.

[fonic_sight]

[It's not dumb, it's science...]

It's for the better. Think of the lighthouses.

audio

[saxsongs]

[... dumb science, then.]

Oh, the poor lighthouses.

Yes, he made a few mistakes. Still, doesn't mean I wanted him out of the picture.

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Oh, what a sssshame. I'm sssorry to hear that your experiment was a complete failure.

[Video]

[fonic_sight]

Thank you. I appreciate all of your condolences.

Granted, were I to expect it to succeed, I would have asked for your assistance.

[A+ smile.]

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Cobra's not quite falling for that one, Jade.]

You should have asked me thisss time. I would have happily volunteered to attempt to end your existence.

[enjoymyatelier]

[



YOU KNOW...]

...I believe I stated that it may be better to ask someone about this rather than testing it out?

[fonic_sight]

I prefer having my own hand in experiments, honestly. That and I had a few questions I doubted could be answered through aged testimony.

[He got curious on stuff.]

[enjoymyatelier]

You realize that there was some chance you could have actually died, don't you?

[...he wouldn't feel that bad about it, but it would still probably wig him out...!!!]

...well, I suppose knowing that your experiment was successful is comforting enough. Was there anything particularly bizarre about the experience? Then again, I would hope that you can't compare it to anything in particular.

[istheindustry]

Well, my dear - I ought to thank you for delivering the first bit of positive news I've heard about the basics of this place in quite some time, even if you felt the need to go about it in the most bafflingly idiotic manner possible.

[video]

[fonic_sight]

[He laughs.] Better I than the lives of others, but at least one mystery of this world has been properly clarified.

[video]

[istheindustry]

[He doesn't seem bothered by Jade's flippant attitude regarding this; honestly, he agrees with that first point at least - better this be done by someone willing than those who would really prefer to not die under any circumstances at all.

Not that he's projecting at all.]

Was it only one? None of that...divine revelation whatnot, then?

[p...rivated voice]

[grapecape]

[...whhhaaaaaaaaat

okay, holy shit, hold on what-]

Did something happen to bring this on?

[privated voice]

[fonic_sight]

Curiosity.

[Need he explain more?]

[video]

[princelyspirit]

Wait a minute - what kind of experiment was this?! I mean, you-

[You're hospitalized, she's about to blurt out, before she stops herself. What she says next isn't much better, though]

What made you think that testing out death was a good idea?

[She doesn't know the guy, so maybe this isn't any of her business. But how can she ignore an "experiment" like this?]

[video]

[fonic_sight]

[He laughs. Oh cute.]

Well, outside of the assurance that death was nowhere near permanent in this world, it was the inquiry of what occurs during that time of non-existence that I wished to discover.
