[don't run netzach or he will be forced to bodily tackle you,]
I died once before, but I was brought back with a human soul. Which I still eat every now and then, to keep on living. They taste terrible, by the way.
...that has to suck, man. At least it's not something you have to do that often...?
[just taking this at face value because whatever, if he's lying, it's an interesting one.
as for himself, though-- hmm.]
I died once before, too. Test subject for an experiment we were running. I was okay with the probability of it killing me, but... the one running it wasn't letting everyone go that easily, after all.
[if he wasn't already on the ground, he's flopping down there to settle in. time to get comfy.]
She's a machine-- an AI created to run the experiment. At the end of it, we were all supposed to rest, and she was supposed to seal everything and shut down...

[a lazy little shrug, there. he truly does just say shit but it's also not always the Same shit, so.]
I feel like you're the type who'd tell one and then say something like 'well, but it could be a lie'.
no subject
You're not wrong. [please don't just admit it] But I'll tell you a real one today, for the sake of the rule.
That is, if you tell me one back.
no subject
[he could still be making something up, but you know what? he's kind of curious.]
Promise I'll tell you one back.

rang shrugs a little at the question,]
I don't go out of my way to eat them. [so not often.... or maybe it is?]
Was this experiment being run in the Library? Or out of it?
[said in the tone of 'why is your library so insane (positive)']
no subject
[shrugs also... the library is a fucked up little place and he hates his job.]
The director used to assist in managing it, but when it was finished-- she interrupted it and created the Library.
no subject
[his eyes shine with interest]
What kind of human is she, that she can create a place like the Library?

She's a machine-- an AI created to run the experiment. At the end of it, we were all supposed to rest, and she was supposed to seal everything and shut down...
But she decided she wanted to live.
no subject
And she brought all of you with her?
[wait what about death consent...]
no subject
I still didn't want to agree, but we didn't really have a choice.
