[The video starts with an uncertain looking Jake glancing into the webcam on the computer he's sitting at.]

So I've taken it upon myself to be the one to make this post out of our little entourage. Taking dead things into the tower is not a terribly bright idea. You don't get them back.

[And he, honestly hesitates because he feels like that's so little but he really has nothing else to say. The video ends.]

Sacrifices are a big thing here, and to offer a dead sacrifice, one that can't come back to life, is a huge occurrence.

Were you here when Dave was drowned?

[fracturedsoul]

No. [ "Was" drowned? Passive form? ] What happened?

[straightupzorra]

[Nanami drowned him, whatever]

He ended up being a sacrifice to the lake and the next round a dungeon appeared with a creature to be beaten, like a boss battle in a video game. I told you, sacrifices are important here.

[fracturedsoul]

I heard about the dungeon. So that's what triggered it.

Then in your expert opinion, what's going to happen as a result of my body being taken by the tower?

[straightupzorra]

[don't trust this smile]

Now that would be telling.

[fracturedsoul]

Hence my asking.

[straightupzorra]

Wouldn't you rather figure it out for yourself?

[fracturedsoul]

If that were the case, I wouldn't be asking you right now.

[straightupzorra]

To bad, my lips are sealed.

[fracturedsoul]

...

You said "one that can't come back to life". And yet it did.

[straightupzorra]

[smiiiile]

"Life," huh?

[fracturedsoul]

I was breathing. Jade and I both saw it.

[straightupzorra]

So breathing makes something alive?

[fracturedsoul]

Do you actually mean something by that question or are you just bullshitting me around in circles?

[straightupzorra]

Oh it means something. [a pause and a smile] Or maybe it doesn't.

[fracturedsoul]

[ He knows when to give up.

He also knows where you sleep, Santana. ]

[straightupzorra]

[killing Santana is never a wise idea]

Tell me, Dirk, is there a difference between life and animation?

[fracturedsoul]

[ Hm. ]

Naturally it's possible to animate a body without bringing it strictly to "life"; tug it around on puppet strings, fit it with some gears and wind it up. But a human body with all of its systems functioning properly, even if it's in a persistent vegetative state or even a state of brain death, might not be something we'd consider "life", but by the scientific definition, it's "alive".

In conclusion, you're gonna have to clarify your definitions for me.

[straightupzorra]

Am I going to have to spell it out for you? Did your corpse come back to life or was it reanimated?

[fracturedsoul]

Are we talking zombies? We better not be talking zombies.

[straightupzorra]

Tell me about the shadows.

[fracturedsoul]

What do I get out of it?

[straightupzorra]

Depends what you put into it.

[fracturedsoul]

[ He just folds his arms and looks mildly irritated. ]

They were flat-out hentai tentacles made of shadows or some shit. Appeared out of nowhere, flailed around and wrapped themselves around me -- my other self -- and dragged it down out of sight like the floor wasn't a thing.

[straightupzorra]

And after that? Did the shadows appear again?
