Your New Life
Another New Life
You wake up to the sound of surf, much, much closer than you've ever heard it unless you moseyed down to Puffin Pier back in the old days. What old days...? Why, the days when you had a body, of course. The memories are probably coming back by now, jumbled along with everything else you lost. What a wake-up call.
But at least the ocean is real, unlike your dubiously fragmented remembrances. This little island out in the middle of nowhere sports a crude sign reading
Here, you're free, albeit... kind of incorporeal, as you'll soon find out. The island is covered in pretty little trees that don't quite form a forest, bowed over the really beautiful sandy beach that is way prettier than the one on the mainland. One, slightly rickety treehouse -- bare of anything, because incorporeal ghosts don't need furniture, of course -- peeks out from between the leaves. This is, apparently, your home away from home now.
Finally, there's a small bay-like area on the island that leads you to a strange-looking storm drain, marked with a symbol that's not-quite-an-apple. Stepping in will wash you alllllll the way back up to Puffin Pier, right where the sewers normally let out.
Oh, and once you step onto the mainland? You're now a duck. What kind of quacking afterlife is this.
((OOC: the tldr; about death is here!))

At least they are now.]
Mm, if. But it certainly seems like it could apply to us, given our little island purgatory.
As for what it could entail...rebirth is often associated with a soul departing from one life and moving on to the next. It's not ideal, given how much I still wanted to do with my life, but it would be better than spending an eternity here as a duck...spirit.
[Sure, let's call it that.]

[We're not in Valhalla anymore.]
...I suppose, that means we may not see each other again. Unless we were to stay, that is.
[He's not too keen on staying forever as a duck, but...the alternative doesn't seem to sit that right with him.]
no subject
[Dongrang, on the other hand, doesn't seem troubled by it at all.]
But it's not as though the majority of us intended to remain in the town forever, anyway. Fairly obviously not, in my case.
[Attempted killer and all that.]

[Beelzebub would leave to return to his business, but...things are more complicated now. Especially when simply returning to that isn't really an option.
How ironic, when he would've been so content with total nothingness earlier.]
I assume you'll be giving it a try, then?
no subject
If I'm being honest, I really don't like the idea of sharing my dirty laundry with the entire town. But...I'd been trying to escape the shadow of my past anyway. I suppose this is one way of going about it.
[Scatter it to the wind rather than burn it all down.]

[Is this..........a joke? A joke from Beelzebub....?]

Bibiiiii...

Is that a given? Maybe we'll all just be 'reborn' to Puffin Town, because that's where the Junimo live and do their magic, right?
no subject
We could be. Though that then raises the question of what we're reborn as.
[They're already ducks, so...probably not that...right?]

[ Help, she doesn't even know where to start with this thought, now that she had it. ]

I...sincerely hope that's not the case.
