"Weird. On my world if something like that happened, we'd have a good idea who did it - if it was a god, anyway, if it was just a fae fucking with people that'd be a different matter."

"Oh well. Whether or not a god exists is of less practical value to us than to most people, anyway."

"...Oh, because if you have an afterlife anyway you're bypassing it? Yeah."

"Yep, that."

"I mean, I do have dead loved ones, I strongly hope that my original mother and brother for example haven't been consigned to oblivion, but. Yeah."

"Eugh. Yeah. Luck with that."

"I'm not sure how much use that is, since we of all people are unlikely to ever know. But who knows, maybe someone will turn up with a resurrection power and people will come back to life effusive about the pearly gates--a stereotypical image of the entrance to an afterlife--and then we'd know."

"Here's hoping. People just routinely ceasing to exist forever would suck."

"I know. The upside is that if it ever happens we'll probably be around for it."

"Eventually people can ask you history questions like you are dragons."

"Assuming we become public knowledge. Which hopefully would wait until we're sure the statute of limitations has run out on being a supervillain."

"Eventually. Not this week."

"Yes, quite."

"Nice meeting you too."

"Yeah. Good luck with school."
