[She nodded and looked at the various spooks while they were walking between the booths. After about a minute or two, she visibly relaxed, no longer seeming all that nervous, other than her general discomfort with Aradia, who still confused her.]

Somehow, not surprised that a few would worry about their deaths. It tends to be all some people can think about when they come back, at least at first. I haven't talked with them much, though. Necromancy wasn't something I studied, other than the basics.

[adventuretime]

[Aradia was running all over the place. peeking into booths and behind things like this place was waiting to be unearthed of its treasures.]

I guess I have trouble thinking about it since I've grown up with it. It's something I'm familiar with! I don't think it's all bad, but not everyone likes it.

You can talk about it if you want! I like hearing stories. It'd be like the dead speaking to me again, except you're obviously alive!

*ahem* If anyone else is still watching - possible Trigger Warning ahead

[samantha_grey]

If you grew up with it, then it probably makes a lot more sense to you than it would to most people. I grew up around magic and illusions, so they're pretty normal to me.

...

But, you want me to tell you about what it was like when I died? [An uncomfortable shift. It wasn't something she talked about much.] It gets kind of gory... and really creepy.

[adventuretime]

Well, a certain friend of mine had a similar problem. He didn't quite enjoy it as much as I did I guess.

Only if you want too! I wouldn't want you to talk about something you're uncomfortable with. I just think sometimes letting it eat at you doesn't help you at all!

[samantha_grey]

That's the thing. It doesn't really eat at me. [She is, by the way, being a very shitty liar right now.] Ok, snakes bother me. I really really don't like snakes or naga. There's no way around it. [shudder]

Fucking naga. If you ever meet one, kill it. You'll be doing yourself a favor.

[adventuretime]

It's okay to be bothered by it.

I know what a snake is, but not a naga! But I'll keep that in mind if I ever see one. [Except she doesn't know what one looks like...]

[samantha_grey]

Yeah... it's just uncomfortable in general. Dying normally hurts, after all, and I don't usually die pleasant deaths. But, you want to know what a naga is?

Imagine a person like me, no horns or tail. Fangs, claws, usually not wearing much. It's like that from about the hips up the body. The rest of them's a long, scaled snake. Usually about twenty feet, thirty feet long. Absolute bastards. Don't trust a single one of them.

[adventuretime]

I think some of my deaths were ok! But you get that after dying so many times! [Does it count that most of her deaths were robot deaths?]

I want to see one though. That sounds like something you'd see in a Troll Indiana Jones film. [She sounds way too excited for this.]

[samantha_grey]

[She shuddered.] That's going to be your call. Personally, I hate them, and I don't want anything to do with them. Snakes freak me the hell out.

[adventuretime]

I think I can handle it! [Troll Indiana Jones handled snakes, so can she. She's dealt with worst, honestly.] But I'll be very careful when it happens!

[samantha_grey]

Thanks. It's mostly a personal thing for me, but always good to be careful with something that could wrap you up and crush you, right?

[adventuretime]

I guess so! I mean, that hasn't really happened to me before, but I bet that would be pretty scary!

[samantha_grey]

It... it would be. ['It was' was heavily implied in that statement, though it was an open question of if she understood that part.] There's some things that are probably better off never being known.

[adventuretime]

[Aradia thinks differently, but she's also the morbid one.]

You have a new chapter in your life now, so don't dwell on it too much. There's a lot better things out there and you wouldn't want to get caught up in something that brings you down.

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, well... as long as there aren't too many creatures out there like that, I should be fine. Hopefully.

[adventuretime]

I really can't help with that. I don't know much of the bestiary of this place.

[samantha_grey]

You'll figure it out in time. Honestly, things seem to change around here sometimes, so it's hard to be sure at times.
