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.

[compendiem]

Sometimes I don't want to be a person, but I can accept that.
No people in your sylladex. Got it.

[windeity]

exactly.
...if you don't want to be a person, what would you want to be instead?

[compendiem]

It's not like I wish to be reincarnated into a cat or anything. It'd be nice to just... exist, I guess. Without affecting anything or being affected.
Actually, it might be cool to be a ghost. With or without all the death stuff.

[windeity]

i'm not sure i could ever deal with that, but i think i understand? just an observer without being an engager.
what do you know about ghosts?

[compendiem]

Yeah. Dunno anything about ghosts except that some like tea, and it can get lonely. But there are also cat ghosts, so I think I could stand it.

[windeity]

i cannot blame them. some tea can be pretty good, and i like cats now.
a cat ghost for a fake ghost.
but what about if you ever wanted to engage? how would you do that if you were a fake-ghost?

[compendiem]

Did you not like cats before?
I'd engage with the cat ghost and other non-fake-ghosts. ...Why would I be fake?

[windeity]

they were ok. i have never owned one before mewpac and i think that was true in my old life, too.
ghosts are transparent, and you're pretty much anything BUT that. that is why you would be a fake-ghost.

[compendiem]

Hm. So the only thing differentiating me from a ghost is transparency. I'll work on that.

[windeity]

what do you think it means to be transparent, minato?

[compendiem]

Honesty, and stuff.

[windeity]

well that's close, yeah.
or at least understanding a person's motivations.

[compendiem]

Then, I'm not "pretty much anything but that," am I? I don't think I'm that hard to understand.
