It seems we're all stuck here together like one big happy family, aren't we? Since that's the case... how about we play a little game to get to know each other?

What is most important to you in your entire life? What would you be willing to do anything for? And I do mean anything~

And please, nothing like 'friendship' or 'world peace.' Really dig down deep; we should all be honest with each other, don't you think? ❤

[feel free to answer the question or not, Joshua seems to just be very bored. what a chatty nerd!]

It's not my fault if all you can see in is the negative side.

Well, I certainly have my pride, which I'm pretty fond of. I think myself is definitely what I would fight for the most... but even I know that has a limit. I've already died and changed my entire life once; so I moved on and clawed my way to the top. I certainly like my position back home, but after awhile one can't help but resent the same old thing. So, I almost gave up all that again too.

See what I mean? Even if I chose myself, I know when it's best to try starting over.

[wait, what. rewind on that.]

what do you mean you already died

[giveuponyourself]

[aaw, that's not even the funnest thing he said.]

Umm, I was dead? Deceased? Technically still am, by strict definitions. I'm not really sure how to make that more clear...

[eraserdad]

[gIVE HIM A MINUTE. WITH THIS.]

...are you saying there's a person or force that brings back the dead where you're from

[CAUSE, YANNO, THAT'S SUPER IMPOSSIBLE BACK HOME. HE WAS LITERALLY JUST DEALING WITH THE FALLOUT OF A STUDENT LOSING THEIR MENTOR. IT WAS A BAD TIME.]

Hmm... in a manner of speaking. It's a very rare occasion that someone does come back to life-- but it's possible.

But needless to say the dead have a very active afterlife where I come from as well, so-- as I said, I'm still technically dead. I suppose that's not very typical...?

[eraserdad]

i wouldn't know

[given that he's NOT DEAD. thanks for making him think about this, he hates it!!!]

[giveuponyourself]

Ah. Fair enough~

If it's any consolation, the afterlife is quite a party.

oops i forgot to hit send

[eraserdad]

good to know
but i'd rather stay alive, thanks

Suit yourself~ But it's really not all it's cracked up to be.

[Life is what it is. Aizawa's not quite the pollyanna type that will argue that everything in the world is beautiful and wonderful, but his way of thinking is--it's better than being dead.]

hn
even so
i'm not in a rush

[It's not that he doesn't catch the implication here, but he doesn't know this guy, or trust him; he's a bit hesitant to get into the matter with him, because for all he knows this could be another manipulation. Still, he'll keep an eye out for this guy, just in case.]
