[TEXT]

I ask that you forgive the morbidity of the question, but I find that there are some things that can't exactly go unasked -

I've heard rumors that if one dies in Johto, one doesn't exactly remain that way; has anyone actually proven this? If so, whom, and by what means?

[ACTION]

[Early afternoon in Violet City will see Kimblee dressed like quite possibly the world's most pretentious horseback rider, what with the black pants tucked into the pale grey knee-high boots, an amber shirt that's perhaps far too nice for the occasion, and the usual thick gloves over his hands, the ends of which disappear neatly under his sleeves. It would look halfway appropriate were he in the company of...I don't know, a Rapidash or something similar, but instead he's got Carlisle out in front of him. Kimblee seems to be checking over his murder mammoth, who's been at a bit less than 100% after almost a week of constant pushing to get to Violet City in the first place; however, after several days' rest, he seems to be doing fine. Kimblee is singing to himself as he circles the creature; it's not entirely perfect, but it's a decent mimickry of the tune Emmy was singing a few days ago.

Either way, he doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that holy balls it's cold out here; hell, he's not even Blofelding it up with his Pineco right now. Obviously, whatever it is he's doing, he's a man on a mission. Or something.]

Would like to test idea on a few people...

However, can say have seen few people actually fatally wounded here, so can not say if death is impaired. Would make sense of monster fights though.

This place is rather horrifying in certain aspects.

I won't disagree with you in that regard, but there's a certain amount of beauty in most of the horror this place contains. Admittedly, some of it is simply flat-out wrong, but for the most part I tend to find it more interesting than terrifying.

[Kittens hatching from eggs? Scarring for life. But things not dying no matter how many times you kill them is a-ok!]

As for wanting to test out the theory on a select few...wouldn't we all.

Beauty is one way of putting it- has made everything weak in this place.

[People not dying is a horrible aspect for him, if only for the sheer toll of his lifespan.

~~However kittens hatching from eggs need to be destroyed, that is just hideous.~~]

Have always found death to be wonderful ally in partnership with Winter- am sad that am so far from both Generals here.

A valid point to be sure, given that the most beautiful work is that which puts your very soul on the line; that's a bit of a moot point here. However, there are ways to make the lack of ability to die more of a threat than death itself, if you get my drift.

...although I must ask exactly what you mean in reference to these...Generals of yours.

I suppose. I would just assume fact that, since there is no release of death to barter with, that most would just... Crumple into acceptance of torture.

Is quite sad to think of pushing through injury is average here more than sign of strong character.

[He looks to the camera a little more, his confusion apparent. No one's ever brought to his attention that they don't know of General Winter here after all... The thought he might not exist(at least personified) for everyone else didn't strike him until now.]

General Winter is the one who brings winter in my homeland. Is many times he has come to aid me against enemies during lifetime. Few are able to fight through his reign of ice other than myself.

[Which is true, though perhaps a little presumptuous in this place. His voice is a little hollow as he speaks again though looking out at the scenery outside.]

He does not come here it seems. Would explain pitiful season.

So winter is an...individual, where you're from. Or at least, there's an individual that causes the change?

[...no, really, what in the actual hell.]

Yes and no. Is confusing even for me.

[It's also very much a love/hate relationship, though that's unimportant.]

He brings winter in homeland, though others get winter in other ways... Not entirely sure.

[LOL Folklore, you clusterfuck of I don't even-]

He comes when needed is all I know, and leaves when welcome is well worn.

...well, judging from what you've said, he sounds like a valuable ally to have in the event of wars. But then, I suppose his status as a General is indicative of that...

[...Kimblee you have no idea

But really, he's seen similar logic back in Amestris - after all, you don't fight a land war against Fort Briggs in the winter! ...or ever, if you know what's good for you. But especially not in the winter!]

What might this homeland of yours be, at any rate? It sounds like somewhere I'd be interested in.
