Here's a question.

Do birthdays count if you're dead?

[It's an important question, okay.]

That still sounds much different from my world, as far as I know.

What kind of a game is it?

[poweryetunknown]

You have to fight off Noise - monsters, basically - and finish whatever stupid task the Game Master's set for the day. At the end of the week, you fight the Game Master. Usually it's not to the death. Sometimes it is, depending on the Game Master.

[There's a decent pause before she responds to his text. Even though she still doesn't really know the details...]

That sounds... horrible.

[poweryetunknown]

In a lot of ways, yeah. It was.

[eyewillprotect]

Do you think you will be able to win? That must be how you come back, isn't it?

[poweryetunknown]

... I had to play three times but yeah. It's over.

[eyewillprotect]

So many...?

But if you aren't alive, then...

[This poor, poor boy.]

[poweryetunknown]

I didn't lose... I think. I just haven't gotten back yet.

[eyewillprotect]

[That is... quite a relief to hear!]

I see. In that case, I am very glad for you.
