This may seem a strange question to some.

[But Thanatos does not often indulge his curiosity, so he is doing so right now.]

I have been wondering if there are any others here like myself, who had an existence dedicated only to a single purpose from the moment it began. Before arriving in Avalon I had barely considered the possibility of deviating from mine.

Very suddenly having a great deal of free time was new, unexpected, and a struggle to become accustomed to.

I suspect, given the number here from other worlds, that it isn't only myself and my brother who led such lives before. I would like to hear from others, and hear how they have dealt with the adjustment.

and? did you find anyone yet

[inevitablerest]

Not as of yet.
My twin brother is also in Avalon and he has a good deal of understanding about it.

But thousands of mortal years spent on only one reason to exist is not something I find many can fully comprehend.

no idea how old my friend is come to think of it... weird

anyway i was kinda the opposite until i met him, so yeah, i dont really get where youre coming from. didnt have a purpose at all and i just kinda screwed around.
but then i got to do something important and help people, so that was cool
i kinda figure i can do the same thing here.

can't you do stuff here that was like whatever you did back home too?

[inevitablerest]

There is no need for it here.

Though I will admit that the opportunity to self-reflect has been an interesting experience.

[facebite]

if you say so

how about your bro? does he like being here?

[inevitablerest]

I think that he does, but he has always taken a far more lackadaisical approach to his work than I have. It doesn't surprise me that he would find it easier to adjust.

All the same, I am glad he is here.

[facebite]

hes got the right idea dude. just relax and make the most of it while you can

and dont say "i wasnt created to relax" thats dumb

[inevitablerest]

It would be the truth if I chose to say it.

But point taken.
