if there is i have way more questions than i started with but the answer should be "no, but there's room."
why?

[compendiem]

Just wondering. Dave says you pick things up without thinking sometimes and you have 50 slots so things might get lost in there sometime?

[windeity]

he's not wrong but i am pretty sure i would probably remember shoving a body in there?

[compendiem]

Is that a "probably" with a question mark? I'm not quite convinced.

[windeity]

i can dump out all of the contents of my sylladex right now and take photographic proof that there is not a body in here.

[compendiem]

Yeah, I want to see. Maybe we'll both be pleasantly surprised.

[windeity]

i cannot believe this is what we're doing.

[Soon though Minato receives a picture. Everything in John's dex is stupid and ranges from one of Dave's hoodies, apple juice, apple candy, a few manga, pens, a Matthew McConaughey poster with a tear in the forehead, a hammer, Vrillyhoo, Zillyhoo, Wrinklefucker, Sassacrusher, a white fedora and pipe, a scarf with teal blood smeared on it, playing cards, his wallet, his phone, a red fading and cracking heart stone, some feathers, a few now-dead snapdragons, and what looks like half a bottle of Coke.

But no body :(]

[compendiem]

[ :( This has all been disappointing and at the same time extremely envious being able to carry around all this crap without worrying about space or weight. If I could justify P3 hammerspace somehow I would do that in a heartbeat, but all Minato has is 2-4 pockets depending on if he's wearing a jacket, and two of those are always occupied by his hands. ]

You could fit an entire grocery store in there. Never have to leave bed to go eat. Everything's kept in stasis, right? Soda's still fizzy?

[windeity]

we've done our grocery shopping this way before. everything stays pretty okay and in tact? i have never noticed soda going flat just by being in my sylladex. but everything stays fresh and i guess that would include living things.

[compendiem]

So no dead bodies but living ones are still a possibility... Got it. That's all I needed to know, thanks.

[windeity]

...no problem?
wait why do you actually need to know this?

[compendiem]

Fact checking. It's a discussion on the implications of the word "body."

[windeity]

that is less than reassuring...

[compendiem]

When you think the word "body," do you envision a dead body or a live body?

[windeity]

like in the context of storing in my sylladex? a dead one...otherwise that would just be a person or an animal, right?

[compendiem]

That's your call, not mine.
You have a body. But you're alive. Why is there a difference?

[windeity]

i think there is a difference because something living has its own agency and it can move and think versus a body that's kind of general.
kind of like you have a skeleton, but that does not mean you ARE a skeleton, you know?

[compendiem]

What if I am just a skeleton wearing a meat suit.

[windeity]

then how do you explain things like hair and eyes?

[compendiem]

They come as a package deal with the suit.

[windeity]

i am pretty sure that is not how meat suits work...

[compendiem]

Are you an expert on meat suits, John?

[windeity]

i used to be a biology student. does that count?

[compendiem]

I was in veterinary medicine. Which major wins out on the authority of meat suits?

[windeity]

...touché.
but also you are not a skeleton in a meat suit, you would be considered a person whether you want to be or not.
