[ Now that a day's gone by with nobody trying to put a hit on the Ringmaster, it's the PERFECT time to ask his creepy questions. ]

How many of you have died before, whether on your world or at the Carnival? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I understand this might be a sore subject for some.

And if you have died, how were you brought back to life? Please try to be as detailed in your answer as possible.

[ just asked like no big deal, there's nothing weird about asking how people died in the slightest. c: ]

Erm, fair enough? Where I'm from, you needed an act of god after about ten minutes. Before that you had a few options, though.

[kingsroads]

Do you mean a literal or metaphorical act of god?

[empty_vessel]

Literal. The death in question was.... messy.

[kingsroads]

[ yup! He's not gonna press, let's just let the imagination fill in the details of how messy it was! ]

Is divine intervention common in your world?

[empty_vessel]

[Jimmy has to stop for a moment at that one and think.]

Not normally. I'm that one statistical anomaly that ends up getting discarded because theres no way to replicate the results.

[kingsroads]

I suppose you must either be very lucky or very unlucky, depending on how you think of it.

[empty_vessel]

Used to think it was the former, changed my mind. I'm sorry I can't help you more, but when the resurrections were happening, I was kind of distracted.

[kingsroads]

Don't worry. The distraction is understandable.

[ after all, HIGHER POWERS BRINGING PEOPLE BACK FROM THE DEAD, WHAT THE HELL ]

For what it's worth, there's no evidence that divine intervention brought people back from the dead in my world.

[empty_vessel]

That's good. I think. There were some extenuating circumstances in mine too, I mean, I wasn't even the one they were intending to resur-

-rect.

[Whoops. That can't be good. Not with as intently as Strange is investigating this. Maybe Strange missed it?]

[kingsroads]

[ CREEPY BASTARD NOTICED. ]

In that case, who were they trying to resurrect?

[empty_vessel]

I'd rather not continue to discuss this over the radio, if you don't mind?

I'm in trailer #12.

wanna log this or action it up here?

[kingsroads]

I don't mind in the slightest. I'll be over shortly.

[ and he'll actually be considerate and not just magically creepily go to Jimmy's trailer via mirrors. ]

(I'm flexible!)

[empty_vessel]

Bring alcohol. Something strong enough to double as paint thinner.

i'll set up a log sometime today, then!

[kingsroads]

I'll see what I can borrow from the kitchens.

[empty_vessel]

Just be sure not to borrow something from Koel's private stock. That stuff hits harder than a bus full of trucks.

[kingsroads]

I'll be certain to grab something strong but not that strong. Until then!
