[DAY 340] "DEAD BACK HOME" GROUP THERAPY MINGLE
[This group therapy session takes place in an appropriately-sized study room in the Education Center. There is one large oval table for everyone to sit at, and a smaller snack table off at the side.]

[The session is divided into two parts.]

PART ONE: Mourning Yourself
Discussion
— Did you harbor any regrets before your death? And if so, is there anything you can do for them with your newfound time?
— Do you know how you died? How did you learn? Did you arrive near-death, or did you hear about it from a friend? How do you feel about the particular details of it?
— Who or what killed you? Have you forgiven it or them? Why or why not?
— Is there anything you wish you could change? Why? Discuss.

Activities
— Write your own obituary or eulogy. Once you've read it out loud, you'll be invited to burn it with a bot-offered candle. (The bot will not hand over the candle.)
— Picture yourself attending your own funeral. When it's your turn to pay your respects to yourself, what would you say? What thoughts occur to you?
— Write a letter to at least one of your loved ones. What would you say about your death to them?

[After this, there is a break. Coffee and tea are provided, along with both savory and sweet snacks. You're still not allowed to leave, though.]

PART TWO: Moving Forward
Discussion
— What dreams and hobbies did you have before? Can you pursue them now?
— Discuss what your previous goals were. What are similar things you can do to achieve them here?
— What kinds of relationships have you made, or would kinds would you like to have?

Activities
— Write down your plans for your future. Partner up and discuss them in-depth to flesh them out better.
— Come up with a daily routine, emphasizing your interests. Refer to others to help you find relevant resources or activities.
— Draw yourself 5, 10, or 25 years from now. Share it with a partner or the group.

-
((OOC: You're also welcome to come up with any of your own activities/therapeutic discussion topics! Everything offered here is just a starting point.))

[ The wardens must have it in for him, scheduling him for two bleedingly obvious groups like this. He'll stay in his corner for as long as he's able, expression pissed off beyond belief and arms crossed non-participatory over his chest. Fuck all y'all. ]

You've got to be bloody kidding me...

That bad, huh?

[ Come one, that reaction does call for the question. Even if Neil's face is self-mocking enough to show that he knows the guy may verbally rip into him over it. That's all right. ]

Are you kidding? I'm dead here too. I've been dead for a bloody century, what kind of trauma are they imagining this will have?

Wankers.

[ Neil opens his mouth, then closes it. ]

That's one of those 'from a very different world' things, isn't it?

Uh, hi, I'm Neil, and I'm just dead back home, I guess.

You and everyone else in this room. [ Okay, maybe... maybe not be so goddamn pissed about this. Cool it. ]

If you're looking for sympathy, go to someone else.

... actually, I think I've got enough sympathy already.

It was as polite as I could figure out how to try to ask you what you mean, about being dead here. As in present tense.

Vampire. Kind of goes with the gig. [ You don't mind if he smokes, do you? Because he'll be doing that a lot. ]

... right.

... wait, I don't know if it's right. Um. [ Neil resists the urge to scratch his head. Instead, his eyes fall to the table with the 'prompts.' And he almost snorts.

And, no, he doesn't mind the smoke. ]

So, um, they're trying to dredge up therapy for something you've un-lived with for a century? [ Totally deadpan, and with a very Irish accent. ] Wankers.

[ That absolutely draws his attention, pulls him into a moment of surprise followed by a snort of amusement. He holds out the pack of cigarettes, shaking it in Neil's direction. Want one? ]

That's what they do around here. Pull stupid shit in the name of rehabilitation.

One hopes. [said a bit flatly, and not really directed at Spike. He's deeply troubled, though trying not to show it - he isn't dead back home. The old him is dead, not the him he is now - he shouldn't be dead - he cannot catch a moment alone to ask Ikol what this means, and in fact he cannot see him -

There is a lot of inner panic going on with Loki right now.]

[ Oh, it's you. That guy he's still not sure how he feels about because it's a level of weirdness he's having trouble grasping. It throws him off, makes him undecided between snarking and ignoring. ]

Wish they had a better sense of humor, if this is their idea of a joke.

If wishes were horses, the poor would ride like kings. The sorts of kings who have not yet mastered appreciation for Midgardian innovations on transportation, so it is probably best they are not horses, as they're not very efficient and besides, a terrible bother to clean up after... though not as bad as goats.

[this is babble. Is it obvious it's babble?]

Er... kings and goats? [a little anxious grin, and then - because he remembers that this guy is a vampire - ] Do you suppose they are counting your grave-clawing undeath, or some future mishap?

[just a matter of curiosity, of course!]

Probably both, if I know them right. [ And does it even matter, at the end of the day. ] I got a few good years left in me, but after that...

[definitely not the answer he was hoping for]

Am I right to assume that you being here is a surprise? [ Not that he would've known about his future demise, had it not been for timey wimey shenanigans. ]

... yes. Yes, if it is me now, and not me before... [he realizes this doesn't make sense at the same time he realizes this is more revealing than he'd meant it to be - he waves his arms before him in a negating motion, as if that would make up for it] - er, that is the me that died before I was me. It's all very convoluted with gods, dying and rebirthing, so there may have been a mistake.

Does it matter, then? If all you do is die and rebirth- [ Ew. ] -then what's the big deal?

I am not the man I was! [somewhat heatedly] So one assumes whatever follows will not be me.

Oh no, you poor lit'le deity. Stuck with only one life to live like the rest of us.

'Rest of us'? Yet you are yourself living a second life! - approximately speaking.

Yes... I suppose. A very uncheering thought. [it seems insensitive to mention he would prefer such finality to the return of another Loki, so he doesn't]

Don't know about that. [ C'mon now, you can't be insensitive around him! ] Rather do that than continue with this wank, if you ask me.
