I haven't seen many new faces in the last while - but if you don't know me, I'm the Headmaster, so if you want to get involved in the school, we should talk. Things have been rather hectic lately, but I hope we can keep everything running smoothly.

[He looks down for a moment.]

Which brings me to a...more personal concern, I suppose. [He isn't used to addressing the network on such issues. Most of his posts have been announcement style, because he's so used to keeping his public image official.]

There are a lot of concerning issues brought up by the Emperor's recent announcement, to say the least. But I have to wonder, specifically, about being sent home. If we are returned back to the point we were taken from, I only have a short time left to live, and I can't be the only one in that situation. Has anyone investigated the possibility of alternative options? Would you want to take such an option, if you could?

...You can return from the dead?

[fearlessherosheart]

As one of the undead. Or, if one is the Empress, one may enter the Paths alive and return without becoming one of the undead. Though those were extraordinary circumstances, even for Her Majesty.

Under most circumstances, the only way for one's soul to leave the Paths is by being reborn after finding the way to the Halls of Judgement at the end.

[disfavored]

...What happens at the Halls of Judgement? [He hasn't really thought of the possibility of being judged after death, because that's not really something he wants to deal with.]

[fearlessherosheart]

Ah, that is up to the Lords of Judgement. That is, to say, the gods.

[she doesn't seem worried]

[disfavored]

Hm. I don't think there is such a thing, where I'm from. Judgment doesn't seem too pleasant, at the moment.

[fearlessherosheart]

Then perhaps you should reconsider your actions.

[disfavored]

I have, but I'm not sure I've managed much in the way of redemption.

[fearlessherosheart]

Ah, well, I cannot say I will be much assistance then.

[disfavored]

It's alright, I know it's my own responsibility.

[fearlessherosheart]

... Do you have friends here?

[disfavored]

I have...people I'm on alright terms with. [Friends, what are those?]

[fearlessherosheart]

Then they will assist you!

[disfavored]

I'm not sure if we're on that good of terms, it's really more like...tolerance. [He's got his brother who is also his worst enemy, and a few people he caused a lot of trouble for but apologized to. He's great at the friendship thing.]

[fearlessherosheart]

That is a shame.
