He nods. "Would they stop dying, if the technology of the future was available?"

"No, humans in the future still die, but they live a lot longer and are way less likely to die young. Also they get an afterlife."

Permalink

"An afterlife, like, something happens once they die?"

Permalink

"Yup! Depends on the person."

"Huh. Does something happen to faeries when we die?"

Permalink

"Good question. Name somebody dead."

"- I don't know the names of any dead people. My grandmother is dead?"

"- right, names. Which grandmother?"

"My father's mother."

Where is she now.

She is not, now.

"I can't get her but that might just mean that she's inherently magical in some way, I can't do your crystals either."

"Dead humans generally go to Limbo. Limbo is an infinite flat plane, with a day cycle of normal length but no specific sun location. That's it. The humans are as indestructible as I am, but have no further powers, and each of them gets one thing which is not a person and does not... imply people. So they might get their favorite dog, also indestructible, or a building, likewise - you can get bits off these things, if you want to slowly harvest roof tiles and pews from an indestructible church they'll come back eventually, but it's not quick and not everyone has something usefully farmable."

Permalink

"Yeah. Plus people appear in random locations so it's hard to find anyone you knew."

Permalink

"Huh. The same thing of - not unrelated to things people care about, but not right."

Permalink

"You know, it is sort of like that."

"Mysterious."
