Whether Perfect would at least dislike death depends whether he more wants to be [i]Perfect[/i], or a monster (many of which are quite mindless or insane), I suppose? There'd nevertheless be ways to make his existence rather unpleasant that I see, death being something to be avoided or not ... he better be glad my character doesn't quite have the full extent of my imagination in her current state. Or that she isn't a particularly cruel person, though the beast within may be. I'll also note that my character's body changing between deaths isn't perhaps entirely canonical - it is a Shienism more than anything. ...It's something I myself wanted to do and asked whether I could, and was allowed to. (As I read out, typically the form only starts to change for more monstrous once the person has already reached the empty status.) (Uh, [i]him?[/i] I hope this doesn't mean we'd be attacked again [i]immediately,[/i] since I assumed at least a bit of a breathing space once we enter the new area ... a couple dozen minutes to sit down, so to speak.) - I'd definitely like to go next on that side, if you'd give me some time? I am back in my own country now, just acclimatizing a bit and sorting some unrelated things out.
