[Day 196] Death Buddies Group [Action]
[Sizzle and Sear is the location of this group therapy as described by the message. A few of the larger tables have been pushed together in a corner of the room, chairs all around them. There is food and drink--although there is a two-alcoholic drink limit--already set out for them. Particularly a large bowl of M&Ms set in the center that seems very out of place considering the food provided in this restaurant (do feel free to put some into a bowl for you!). On one side of the table is a box of art supplies. Paper, pens, markers, paints, glue, and even tiny cut-outs of shapes.

On the other end of the table is two stack of papers--of different pictures. One of line art, the other actual photos. That first stack? Different ways people die. Some of them may seem very specific to certain characters. The other stack? Strange images, some blurry, some bright, some very dim. They're may be people in them, there may be ceilings, darkness, a variety of things that may seem very random at first. But to some those images may look familiar. They might not realize why at first, but it could hit them that the photo they just so happened to pick up is the last thing they saw before they died (or had their last near death experience, no one is saying which).

At each place setting around the table there is a piece of paper with questions, topic starters, activies. The sentinels will let everyone know they will be able to leave sooner if they participate.]

1. Do you have any unfinished business?
2. One regret you have that you didn't get to do before you came to MarinaNova?
3. If you were going to die tomorrow (or yesterday), how would you like the end to come?
4. Name two people you would be leaving behind if you were to die in your world. How would they feel about your death?
5. Look through the Ways to Die Set. Pick which one fits you the most and discuss why.
6. You just came back from the dead! What is the first thing you do?
7. Do you believe in an afterlife? If not, why? If so, what do you think it is like?
8. Draw how you see yourself dying. Talk about what you drew.
9. Go around the table and say one thing you want to be able to do before you die that you haven't done. Anyone who has done this should eat a delicious candy-coated chocolate morsel! Repeat and eat.
10. Look through the stack of photos. Can you recognize your own? Anyone who picks theirs out gets to order an extra alcoholic beverage!
11. Name three positive things that could come out of you dying.

{OOC: The Ways to Die stack has a picture for just about any kind of death ever, feel free to pick one and make up what it looks like for your character. This is a mingle, so threadjacking and talking over each other is more than welcome. Celebrate being dead!}
