Got rejected on my first run, accepted on the second, and returned to my body on the third. Felt like I learned the most from being actively hostile.

Interesting that you're branching out into visual novels. Is this still Ink or something else?

I have no place in a collective hive mind lol!! I knew it going in but loved the text and anime lady. So fun, as always!

I'm not fond of Kiki. She did not have my best individual interest in mind... she's only concerned about the Soulmerge and has left me to think about that for a few 100 years, much like a spiritual plane gulag. I suspect the Soulmerge is just a celestial battery for some demigod that needs the juice to power his motorized golf cart in the clouds.

I guess I'm too unique to be part of a collective. Got put in galactic time-out twice.

This is exactly the kind of thing I think about on a 45 seconds per minute basis. Hilariously cynical! I'm usually just cynical cynical, no funnies. She seemed almost ecstatic to send me back to the nuclear holocaust, but at least she let me escape. I refuse to be trapped in collective consciousness with the rest of you!

The first time, I got sent to enjoy 100 years in the Blank Space because I was trying to be agreeable, but not TOO agreeable. The second time, I was considerably more disgruntled, and got sent back to Earth, where I can only assume I will join the resistance against Kiki and her ilk. Her annoyed face was superb.

Soooooooo excited to do FYMP next week!!

Whew, guess I’m taking Limbo. Can’t mess with your ancestors like that unless you wanna be cursed!

Well, the good news is that a few hundred years in the grand scheme of things (eternity, I suppose you could say) is nothing. The bad news...only two minutes have gone by, and I’m in dire need of a snack.

Get back here, Kiki!

Swap places with Mom. But use your life savings to hire a necromancer to hang out at her grave and reanimate her the moment of the swap. You can figure out the whole “at capacity” thing next time she dies.

A. I hate crowds. Probably why I was rejected for Ascension, too.

This game appealed to me because I seriously do believe that any afterlife probably involves shedding our individual perspective mindset and merging with a single God soul, but it didn't appeal to me because I got stuck waiting in this Blank Space for likely an eternity
