oh yeah heads up
ive heard from certain people who committed this themselves and
apparently if you kill someone here
you get your memories wiped of the incident altogether
not sure why they'd go out of their way to do that here but they do this sort of thing where im from all the time so im very used to seeing it
probably can't say the same for other people from other worlds so you guys have to educate me on that

so uhh
im not saying you should or shouldn't kill altogether
im not your mom
but just keep that in mind the next time you got some kinda murderous urge or something
the reason why im anonymous right now is bc i don't wanna reveal who did that in the first place
it might lead to some awkward icebreakers on their part
also i wouldn't lie about something like this if anyone's wondering bc i got no time to waste on leading people on

but this is probably the worst thing any newcomer would wanna see, huh
whoops
well... welcome to this city, i guess

( ooc: feel free to threadjack and craft theories! kromer/@gripper will also be answering questions about things she knows as a victim as well. )

[ oh ]

i can assure thee i have washed my hands of any identifying qualities i may have
but if i have not done enough in that way, it is still alright
so long as it is for the benefit of all, i shall take this burden upon myself with nary a complaint!

[ and because she's used to dying actually ]

And what precisely happened to "the trauma of a death is never forgotten, no matter how hard one may try to scrub it from memory or how often one experiences it"?

[icanfixer]

"every individual is different", as i have said!
i am one such individual
death is to be expected in my line of work, so it could be said that i am one most suitable for both the dealing and being dealt a deadly hand

[ the way weir is still learning so much about the city and its people against his will ]

[fossick]

[So much lore he honestly has no idea what to do with.

Not to mention the sentiment itself. The willingness to die over and over again for the sake of others, regardless whether or not one is used to it. The concept is utterly alien to a man like Weir; a man far too selfish to see this as anything more than "helpfulness" bordering on lunacy.]

Presumably, your line of work also has a means of reviving the freshly departed?

many a strange thing doth happen in my city
thou could say we very much do

[ ... they very much do!!!!!! ]

[fossick]

How fortunate for you. And now you are here, where such experiences might benefit others.

[If that had been spoken, it would have been wry. He continues-]

If you are quite serious about that kind of offer (of dying to test a theory), then it is one you should make to the community as a whole.

I would bet someone might take you up on it.

[ ...

she'll be fussed at by a few people, she already knows. and she isn't going to immediately, since there are other things she doesn't want (thinks she's getting away with) others to find out. but-- ]

i am most certain they would!
i shall give it a time's rest, as it seems most are quite wound up be the other anonymous's word today, but i certainly shall put it to the public as a whole
it matters not who strikes me down, for i shall do all i can do resist retribution

[fossick]

[Why. Why would anyone be so willing to do this; how is death not an insult, and to be granted it over and over again not rankle against one's pride? He honestly thinks it's foolishness, but whatever. He's not the one who's volunteering.]

Very well. I expected to see this missive sometime in the future, then.

For all our sakes, of course.
