[infirmiere]

Well

Hm

Not entirely sure how to come back from this and one would think I'd have experience.

Are you well now?

[levelshift]

What do you mean? You've died before?

I'm fine. It turns out there's a fucking cost to being brought back to life since it's violating scientific laws, but it's whatever.

[It absolutely not whatever, but he's going to act like it is.]

[infirmiere]

I've died many times. Death doesn't make its home with me but it certainly visits more than I'd like

What was the cost?

[levelshift]

That's a really fucking flowery way of saying 'yes.' Do you always come back if you die? Is that just something you do?

Some memories, that's all.

[infirmiere]

I always come back but as a different person

Reincarnation, starting over every time

[levelshift]

The fuck. You must retain your memories, right? Otherwise how would you even know?

[infirmiere]

Yeah they come back, usually when I'm a teenager

[levelshift]

Adolescence has to be the worst fucking time for that to happen. Is puberty a trigger for it, or is it just bad luck?

[infirmiere]

Bad luck

This time I remembered when I was 6, I was a very weird kid

[levelshift]

I think I know what you mean.

[Last Order is mostly 10, but sometimes she busts out some weirdly mature nonsense he assumes comes from her being the administrator of thousands of additional, older clones.]

Is it magic that causes this?

[infirmiere]

Yeah

Don't make a blood pact on ancient ritual grounds, I'll give you that pro tip for free

[levelshift]

[Well...........]

Back home I already made a contract with an artificial demon that was created using the tree of evil, so no promises there.

[He's capable of joking! A little. He isn't exaggerating about that.]

[infirmiere]

Ha!

I mean

Fuck

Go big or go home, I guess

[levelshift]

She's a good employee, I don't regret doing it.

What kind of magic was involved in your blood pact? I'm still new to all this shit, I've only known about magic for a few months.

[So he's curious!]

[infirmiere]

That I'm afraid I do not remember. Or know? There's thirteen of us and all of our magic was probably imbued into to the accidental pact

[levelshift]

Shit, so you wouldn't even know how to reverse it? Why'd you make the pact, anyways?

[infirmiere]

To fix a mistake we made so not all of us would be even willing to reverse it

[ some of them have lost more than others, but willa and emmet, at least, aren't willing to let the world come to ruin for their mistakes. the others would probably disagree. ]

[levelshift]

[Oof.]

That sounds like a big fucking mistake.

[infirmiere]

Sometimes you trust the wrong people

[levelshift]

[Accelerator's response comes a minute or two slower than normal, because reading that is making something click in his brain and suddenly he feels very pensive.]

I think I get it. Some piece of shit completely fucked you over and now you're stuck dealing with the ramifications of what they did.

[infirmiere]

I wouldn't give him all the blame

[ but she's a fucking chump who can't helped caring about him still. ]

We were foolish

[levelshift]

Being foolish doesn't mean you deserve to die and come back over and over again.

[infirmiere]

It is mine to bear anyway, whether I deserve it or not

[levelshift]

It's shitty.

[And it reminds him of the Sisters having to live with the memories of over ten thousand deaths, even though none of them deserve it.]

Do you know what'll happen if you die here?

[infirmiere]

Aurora will take care of it probably. I doubt they would let the rebirth happen considering someone would have to

Have a baby

Presumably Aurora and Echo would intervene
