On being brought back out of the box...

So...what? We're giving this another go, you and me?

I've heard of worse things than this place you're sending me. And even if I hadn't, pretty certain it beats being dead.

Well, what are you waiting for? Get going!

'Beats being dead' is a pretty low bar, isn't it?

[once_photonic]

At least being dead is quiet? Or so I assume. I don't actually remember the whole 'dead' part.

[sohumbling]

Not sure if that's a good sign or bad... Then again, what lies beyond the mortal coil might be better not known anyway, right?

Mmm. Well, we Xs have a habit of coming back from the dead. You might be better off asking Jean Grey about things like that.

Well, it's not like I'm... totally inexperienced with it. A friend of mine called in the 'trans-life' journey. When I asked about it all, he just said 'existence abides.'

[It's about this time he considers everything he's said and he's reminded of social conventions.]

...Oh, sorry, this probably isn't the easiest topic to talk about.
