	[A slight pause, but she's going with honesty this time around.] Because they do. [...] Is it too hard to read? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, but that doesn't answer the question. Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-26 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	Because the toxin being gone doesn't fix what was wrong before. I've [...] over-extended myself a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-26 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	And whatever was wrong before, that's what you said the Valentine's Day gift caused? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~You sound like Eddie~~ [...] Once upon a time, Death died. She came back, but only by accident, and she came back less than she was before. Only she tried to do something the way she'd done it before, and it ended badly. Plus, the person on the other side of the door is not much better off. And then valentines day.

	How did you die? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-26 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	I admit that I'd rather not say. I'm reluctant to have too many people knowing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-26 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Let me rephrase. Was it an accident? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-26 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. It was a misstep on my part. ~~Literally~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-26 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Alright, so you died, and you told Eddie how, and then he turned it against you. Is that about right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] No, he wasn't my Valentine. It was someone else. ~~I should stop talking~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] Who else would know? [Lightbulb.] Stephanie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-27 01:08 am UTC (link)
	[She doesn't need a reply. Noted.] Don't worry, kitten. I'm not interested in a fight with Eddie or Stephanie. They'll inevitably win, and I'm a terrible loser. But, should you need anything, let's just say neither of them want either of us around. And there's nothing that solidifies a connection like a shared threat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There is a very long pause, but the pen rests shaky on the page. She's still there. Then finally.] They win because they refuse to see anything from outside their own perspective. I don't think it was always that way. But it is now.

[...] I don't know what I need. Find out how to put me back as I should be? Or make me human. I can't carry on like this much longer. To be over dramatic.

	[Cursor blink.] You're right. It wasn't always that way. Do you have a preference? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-27 01:26 am UTC (link)
	[...] Not anymore. I'd like to be able to walk around again, if nothing else. Do more than just sit on this couch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is one way easier than the other? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-27 01:58 am UTC (link)
	To be honest, I don't know. I've never had to deal with anything like this before. And, as I've been reminded more than once, I don't know what it's like to be human. [...] I don't actually know if I can go back. I've lost what I was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-27 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Well, you can learn, but I think you have to do it like the rest of us, with skinned knees and humanity, kitten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-27 02:27 am UTC (link)
	As long as someone else realizes I'm doing that too and that I'll make mistakes even when I'm trying my best. I don't get it yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-27 02:31 am UTC (link)
	The key to being human is being human. How do we get rid of whatever remains that isn't? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-27 03:02 am UTC (link)
	[Surprisingly, a little darker. Frustrated.] I don't know. Right now I'm barely human, and getting rid of that might be all of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-27 03:35 am UTC (link)
	Well, that wouldn't do. Maybe some of my friends can help. They're good with science. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] The ones in other doors. [Very obviously a statement, not a question.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They turned out to be better friends than anyone here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-27 03:40 am UTC (link)
	I don't doubt that at this point. [...] But I've never been to another door. I don't know if I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-27 03:45 am UTC (link)
	Of course you can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-27 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Other doors don't have anything like me, Selina. I've checked. ~~It scares me~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-27 03:57 am UTC (link)
	Fine. I'll invite the good doctor here. Let him run some tests. Trust me, he wouldn't hurt a fly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-27 04:04 am UTC (link)
	It's not the hurting I'm worried about. [...] Alright. But I don't look right, at the moment. I hope he doesn't scare easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death spacecowboys 2014-03-27 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I think he'll understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Death soundofwings 2014-03-27 04:16 am UTC (link)
	[A fairly lengthy pause, but finally:] Alright then. (Reply to this) (Parent)
