[ this is such a fucking good question. would people be deranged enough to upload their pets and damn them to eternal digital life? would it be legal? would people do back alley uploads of their pets? if it's not allowed, do people just live forever with NO PETS? i hate it here. i have to guess. ]

There are simulations, but not emulations.

[obdure]

[ i bet the rich would pay much money to back alley upload their teacup pedigrees ]

... Then are these dogs... The same?

[hotfixer]

[ probably ]

Heaven isn't a simulation.

[obdure]

I see...

[ He just thought to ask. ]

I suppose it'd make sense to have animals when the god here is in the shape of one? A lot of believers I knew considered them to have no souls.

[hotfixer]

The existence of souls in anyone was debatable to me - until I came to Heaven.

[ because like. clearly you are all souls. ]

But if humans had souls, why wouldn't animals?

[obdure]

I agree. It's hard to believe these little guys don't have souls, right?

[ He shows her one of the corgis while squishing its face, cheeks chubby and eyes BIG. ]

[hotfixer]

[ hehehe. ]

You look happy.

[ well. maybe comparatively. ]

[obdure]

... Do I?

[ Genuinely, he wonders what he looks like. Does he look as happy as these doggos. ]

[hotfixer]

[ maybe just relaxed? ]

I think so. Do you like dogs?

[obdure]

[ A bit relaxed, true. ]

I do. I owned one back when I was alive.

[hotfixer]

I've never had a pet, for obvious reasons.

[ not being. a person. ]

But I know that people like them. Your pet made you happy?

[obdure]

That can change here, if that's something you want.

[ CORGIS ]

... I had one originally to sniff for poison, but I did find that he made me happier sometimes.

[ obviously not enough to fix him, but bright spots help. ]

[hotfixer]

Oh. That's okay. I'm not staying and wouldn't be able to take one with me, so.

[ ........ ]

Did people try to poison you a lot?

[obdure]

A good amount.

[ That was just life. ]

You're planning to return?

[hotfixer]

I don't know what else I would do.

[ anyway can we talk about this poison thing ]

That seems bad.

[obdure]

[ IS THIS ABOUT THE POISON THING ]

It happens.

[hotfixer]

It should not.

[obdure]

It should not, but it does happen.

[ and he WILL be trying to poison someone on thursday night ]

[hotfixer]

Why?

[obdure]

People wanted the power I had. Easiest way is to kill me.

[hotfixer]

Is power transferred like that? You kill someone and you get their authority?

[obdure]

For noble families, they just need to place their own puppet on the throne. It would be similar.

There is also just the fact there were people wanted me dead, regardless of what chaos would fall after.

[ insurrections are never nice ]

[hotfixer]

Well... I'm not glad that you're dead... But once all of this is solved, Heaven could be a much more peaceful place to stay if you wanted...

[obdure]

... I still don't know if I'm a good fit.

[ Even though there are times where he tries to be something more than he is. It comes and goes when you are dealing with mental illness and insecurities. ]

[hotfixer]

I can't make that choice for you. I just want you to understand your options.

[ .............. and that she thinks one of them is a really good option. ]
