[He awoke in darkness in the coffee shop, of all places.]

[Abruptly aware of a dozen and more sounds and scents, someone was calmly pensive as if sudden self-awareness of one's postmortem existence was an everyday occurrence. It certainly seemed nothing that panicking would help with, and nothing that wouldn't await examination until after he'd finished his coffee.]

[Which he did, of course. Later on he would be found exploring the city in very cautious and deliberate steps, hand occasionally on a wall for guidance. He found he didn't have much difficulty maneuvering despite the chaotic layout--a strange problem not to have, and perhaps one warranting consideration as to what kind of person he was. An interesting quandary to examine, and more so if he wasn't the only such person.]

[...One thing he did already know for certain, however.]

[His name, if indeed that was what he was called, was almost comically ironic.]

Comments

[. . .]

I think that I would rather not.

[It was a bit weird, that particular kneejerk reaction.]

[schardynfreude]

...Oh. Ah. I see. Understandable.

Though for the record, it was certainly awkward to introduce myself to the one that calls themselves Kingslayer, so irony is not something lost in the afterlife.

I'm afraid I haven't any other name to go by at the moment...but no matter.

[discutio]

Should it prove any consolation, I find 'Phoenix' no less absurd all things considered.

[Being dead and all.]

[schardynfreude]

You do seem to have suffered burns of some kind, so it may be apropos nonetheless. I wonder...if it might be possible to heal that which has already scarred over.

Perhaps we're to simply find better fitting names for one another.

[discutio]

So I have been told.

[not like he can see them]

Perhaps so.

[schardynfreude]

Unfortunately I doubt very much I can cure blindness, or Lion would have his eye back. Still, myself and Medic might give it a go. It's touch-based, our healing abilities, however.

But we can discuss those specifics later. Perhaps you would like something of a tour of the city? Or, might you like to explore on your own? There is a park we've been using for sparring, and a coffee shop for meetings.
