So there's all sorts of people here, right? Got all kinds of crazy powers and stuff?

[Rufio is sitting in the center of town on the edge of the fountain, munching on an apple he's just nabbed out of the grocers. (The whole imaginary food thing wasn't working out for him so well out of Neverland.) He wishes the store was manned, in a way. There isn't much of a thrill pilfering food this way.]

Which ones of you don't age?

[Because he's realizing that in this place that list isn't going to include him.]

[lostpunk]

So you're some undead thing, is what you're saying?

[ video ]

[deceases]

That's the short version, yes. I'm not the only one like that here though, as far as I've heard.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

You don't look like your skin's falling off or anything.

[ video ]

[deceases]

Is it a rule that all dead people must look like they're decaying?

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

If they're zombies, yeah. Isn't that how it works?

[ video ]

[deceases]

Not exactly. They're dead, yet they're alive.. Which just means that even though they already died, they're just still walking around as if that never happened.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

In that case, are they really still dead at all?

[ video ]

[deceases]

That depends on your definition of "dead". What would it be for you?

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

When you stop living. Except if you're brought back and you're breathing and your heart's beating just like it was when you're alive, then someone's performed some sort of miracle and you're alive again.

[ video ]

[deceases]

I don't think it works that way. Once you die, you're dead. If you somehow get back to life again.. then it can never be the way you were before. Because you're already 'dead'.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

Why can't it be the same?

I know if I was in Neverland and that happened, everyone would eventually forget I'd died. It would go right back to the way it had been.

[ video ]

[deceases]

It depends on how you're 'brought back to life', right?

I'm no longer the same as a human.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

So what are you, then?

[ video ]

[deceases]

Whatever you want to call it. One of the undead, a vampire, that's usually what they're called in most worlds in fiction.

If you want to give it a name, I've heard 'Shiki' being used before.

[lostpunk]

So you suck people's blood or something?

[ video ]

[deceases]

The others do. I don't.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

Then what do you do?

[ video ]

[deceases]

I just eat as any person would. But I could suck blood if I didn't think this way.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

What's the point of being a vampire if you don't suck blood?

[ video ]

[deceases]

Why would anyone want to suck blood to begin with, I think that's a more important question.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

Maybe some people really like the taste of blood. I dunno.

[ video ]

[deceases]

Then they're idiots.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

Everyone has different tastes, dude.

[ video ]

[deceases]

Who would want to drink human blood? That only makes you a monster to begin with.

[ video ]

[lostpunk]

What if you ask someone nicely and they say yes?
