[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'.]

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.

That chance was actually rather slim. Judging by the normalcy this world has, the lack of death was a constant. The chance of a permanent death here didn't seem like much of a concern.

[He thinks for a moment.]

Oddly enough, it wasn't nearly as bizarre as I had speculated it could be. The twenty-four hours I was gone, I had somehow been transported to a Pokémon Center with nearly no recollection of the time between the death and my reawakening. In short - I merely missed one entire day. Peculiar, isn't it?

[enjoymyatelier]

...So I see. Well, at least this place is consistent with its own internal logic, even if it doesn't seem very logical otherwise. A world where death is a minor inconvenience is something you'd expect to be pure fantasy.

[fonic_sight]

Precisely. It's peculiar, but intriguing all the same. I now wonder what sort of magic or technology is used in order to create such an immortal state, but... I don't think any of us are bound to discover that one, are we?

[enjoymyatelier]

I don't think it's entirely impossible, but it's unlikely to leave the realm of theory for quite some time. Of course, given that everyone here has the chance to randomly leave someday... well, that makes it more unlikely than anything else.

[fonic_sight]

How unfortunate. That would have been rather useful.
