This might be a painful subject...

...Has anyone here had a member of their system just... die?

Comments

Yup. As well as seem dead but be revivable, like me.

Either way, sympathies if that's happened in your system.

It did... Melissa just gave out earlier this morning. She had suffered a lot of trauma lately, and I'm surprised she held on as long as she did.

She did say something about coming back, but also said that the fate of what she was doing was now in my hands.

We've never had one die I dont think. But there's one that we haven't heard from in quite some time. So I'm not sure.

It depends on what you mean by die, I suppose.

[karma-silenced.livejournal.com]

Yes. :-/

[qilora.livejournal.com]

yes.

[elfgoyle.livejournal.com]

Yes :(

[ksol1460.livejournal.com]

Yes, ev'Amah naraia zosia'des.

But sometimes they come back.

[sharpsight.livejournal.com]

...yes. Not without prior warning of at least a few seconds, though. Not without at least a blurry perception or understanding of the causes.

[redrainstorm.livejournal.com]

Yes. It was a little too. :( That's what made it so hard on us.
Our sympathies.

Melissa was an age-slider, but mostly stayed little. It hurts the most for us because she was the longest-lived in the system.

No . . . But I am working on killing one of our other residents right now ;)
Can you say "Katana"?

Yes. She was six years old. ;(

[egyptian-spider.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Mae, one of our originals, died about a month and a half ago.

[forever-alone.livejournal.com]

Yes. She's still here in theory, but doesn't talk or move or anything like that. She and I were partially merged/fused when she died.

we've got more dead people then living ones it seems

[ricktboy.livejournal.com]

*nod* yes.

We had a lovely woman we called the Grandmother, but shortly before we began posting on here, she died...She had always told me, and Rachel before me that she was only going to be around until her time...I never knew what that meant...and then, after I took over, and built The Wall, when Faith and cubbie took The Wall down, she died. I suppose that's what she was waiting for.

She didn't die the way I've heard, though...she just, ceased to be. It was odd, and kind of sad...I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

Yes.

[thebkcam.livejournal.com]

Yes. It was coming, we all knew it, including him, and there was no real way to avoid it, but it was a hell of a lot more painful for everybody than it had to be due to some... external stuff. He never really got to come to grips with the whole thing before it happened. He opened up about it briefly to people outside the system, and then totally shut down and closed up when that went sour, not a peep or anything until after we found out from someone else that he'd died.

It's really kind of a relief to see so many people replying with a yes answer to this post, 'cause we still kinda feel like mentioning that he died is going to leapt on as evidence that we're being "dramatic" or scrapping for attention or some bullshit. Kinda funny in a sick, demented kind of way, considering.

P.S.

[thebkcam.livejournal.com]

It just occurred to me that somebody in the comm might take offense to the last comment, being one of the said people outside the system is a regular here, so I want to clarifiy that what I mean by sick and demented is the coincidence itself-- that the death of a person who was neurotic about never mentioning anything too negative about his life for fear of causing "drama" is itself probably going to be seen as "drama" by somebody somewhere. Catch-22, sick and demented. But it's not connected to anyone specific or any group specific, it's not an insult or an attack or even going anywhere in particular. Heck, I'll bet some singlets think that all in-system deaths are martyrdom drama or some shit like that, so maybe it's a Catch-22 that could never be avoided even if life was smooth and friendships never died.

But even so, it's really stupid. Life is "drama", death is "drama"-- I'm getting fucking sick of the term "drama", that's what.

Re: P.S.

[sethrenn.livejournal.com]

Gah. That's not drama. I've known drama queens before, and these little bints who whine about "drama" every time someone posts about something even remotely emotional don't even know what it is.

Someone who can't deal with everyone in a system not being 100% cheerful and happy all the time... well, it's no different from expecting individual people to be smiling and happy constantly. It's just not going to happen.

[lilibeth.livejournal.com]

Well, not died exactly, but one has been gone for quite some time. I feel as if we've merged, as forever_alone said.

[eridanusus.livejournal.com]

My twin brother. During the last war. So I guess he didn't *just* die, he.. went and got killed. But yea.
