[Grubby and cobwebby, Nathan is slouched on his bed, smoking a joint. He's definitely not feeling his usual self, looking a bit more withdrawn than he would normally.]

So, I think I died last night. Either that, or someone slipped me some really bad acid. [He stops and groans there, squeezing his eyes shut and dragging a hand down his face.] I don't know. I'm kind of fuzzy on the details.

On the plus side, immortal. So, I don't have to worry about that zombie shit the rest of you lot have going. Down side... actually, I don't think there is a down side to dying, in this case. I mean, it's that or I got raped by some big, beefy bloke while having the worst trip of my life. [Pauses, looking mildly disgusted as he pictures that.] Yeah... let's not go there.

[He waves a dismissive hand at the camera.]

Anyway, I have this letter... bill... thing. Just so you know, I didn't buy anything, so you can forget about me paying it. Thanks.

[He takes one last, long drag off the joint, then pushes himself forward to stub the end out and turn off the camera.]

ON A HAPPY NOTE -

[renegare.livejournal.com]

Dying isn't against regulations.

WORDS HE NEVER THOUGHT HE'D HEAR HIM SAY

[designedtoparty]

Really? I thought everything was against regulations.

Oh, I know! I've just had a great idea. Why don't I go out and die again, now I know I'm allowed to?

THREADJACKING TIME

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

Something isnae?!

Tell me, I've wanted t' know for a bit, are the regulations against regulations?

[antimafioso.livejournal.com]

[Immortality, noted.]

The danger of the streets?

[designedtoparty]

[He's confused at first. Then realisation hits him as he remembers their conversation.]

Ohhhhhhhh. Right. Yeah.

I was just there. Pimping my ass out. Just trying to make a living. Then this guys jumps out of his car and starts stabbing me and shit!

I ask you, what kind of world do we live in?

[antimafioso.livejournal.com]

That's terrible. Where are the police?

No... I think you should stop being a whore, Nathan. It's not safe. The City could be a new start for you. You could join the circus!

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

And y' don't know HOW? Ha' y' tried retracing your steps?

[designedtoparty]

Oh, yeah. I'll walk straight back into the path of a murdering psychopath.

That sounds like a brilliant idea!

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

I don't mean literally.

[signatures]

You think?

[designedtoparty]

I don't remember, okay? I overdid it last night. And I've never been big on details.

[signatures]

I suppose most drug-induced hazes tend to prevent that, sure.

audio; i knew these keywords would come in handy one day

[thenormalsquint]

You think? What are you smoking? [She might want some of it. Maybe.] If you died, then you're not exactly immortal.

audio; thank god for Nathan and his willingness to do anything anywhere...

[designedtoparty]

Think. Yeah. It's skunk.

[God, why does everyone keep telling him thaaaaat?]

Well, what would you call it?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Are you sure it's just skunk? I know it screws with your memory but not that badly.

[Because it's truuuuuue.]

I don't know, but I wouldn't call it immortal. How about just "mortal"?

[enterpainment]

You only think you died? Because isn't that the sort of thing you should be sure about--

[Jamie pauses long enough to listen to the rest of the entry.] ... You're immortal.

[designedtoparty]

Well, I'm usually sure.

Yeah. Great power, huh?

[enterpainment]

So, you are immortal... and you have died before. [Considering this...]

It's still very painful, though, isn't it? Dying?

[adamantined]

What do you remember?

[designedtoparty]

Drinking, mostly.

[adamantined]

I'm not trying to discredit your suspicions or anything, but are you sure you died? Where did you come to?
