[The rips had closed up days ago, but Tiffany doesn't trust that right away - people were still missing and there was clearly something weird going on down at the port, so she refrains from acting like everything is over and done with yet. When people start appearing back on the ship, however, she tentatively lets herself start to believe that things really are winding down... which leads to another problem, for her.]
So, uh… during all that, I had some trouble, and Mason took my soul out of my body for a little bit, so I wouldn't be in pain and couldn't get hurt. He was great, by the way; a fucking badass - strong and brave and fighting monsters. He saved my life. He was a hero.
Y'all tell him that the next time you see him, okay?
[He revels in compliments and praise the same way she does; she has a feeling he'll like it.
And it’s so, so tempting to just focus on that and end the post right there - to do something similar to what she did after the jaeger breach and just gush about how so many people had helped her, and how nice it feels to know she has them in her corner. To just ignore the uncomfortable parts in favor of the good.
But it wouldn’t work as well the second time, and for once, she isn’t sure she’d want it to.]
But when I was out of myself, I tried to go inside a monster, and it-- I didn't really do it, but I almost did, and I felt its soul. It was the worst thing I have ever felt in my life; it was worse than dying in my dreams during that flood. It felt evil, and now my soul feels tainted.
[It isn't, really - luckily for her, any aftereffects from the experience are all in her head.]
I died a lot and then I did that, and I'm worried my soul is turning bad because of it. I don't got any real evidence, so it might not be, but... I think I would appreciate it if someone could check, or try to do an exorcism on me. Just in case.
[She smiles a twitchy smile that doesn't reach her eyes.]
I ain't panicking this time, like I did before. But if there's something wrong with me, I wanna get it fixed.
Thanks.

... Hey, Simon. Hi.
[filtered to Cambridge]
Maybe when we do our next therapy meeting, we can talk about this? About dying and stuff. I don’t…
I don't think I’m handling it too well.
[filtered to Ricki]
Can I talk to you?

[Arthas rubs the bridge of his nose.]
- told you that?
no subject
Well, Rube did, but that was years ago.
It doesn't matter who told me. I've seen it happen, thousands an' thousands of times. Trus' me, you don't want to be the guy runnin' to catch up to the hearse before they put you in the ground.

[That's going back, but the pieces come together now - a little.]
What happens if no one removes the soul?
no subject
'Course I know him, he's me boss. Or was, before the Barge.
How the fuck do you know Rube?

[Arthas hates being the only one to remember things like this. Constantly getting people up to speed on things he doesn't care about, hooray.]

They get stuck. They're trapped in bodies that won't move anymore - or they do move sometimes, maybe - an' they're stuck rotting away forever. You don't want to be around when a soul turns bad.
no subject
No, of course. You can't have that.
no subject
[Okay, mostly it's that laugh that freaked her out.]
SORRY FOR JACKING UP YOUR POST WITH THIS THREAD.....
I don't mind at all; I'm having fun following what's coming out of it!

You send them to whatever afterlife they're destined for?

...Why would they trust you with that?
