When the scroll turns on, it shows Hayate, sitting in her cloud shack and looking thoughtful, her wings rustling in contemplation.

"So, uh...today I realized something. It's been eight months since I showed up here, you know? And in all that time, I haven't died once. This is the longest I've ever gone without getting killed!"

Her wings shudder briefly before fully extending.

"It's actually kind of weird, really, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Like, what if I get out of the habit? I mean...I'd have to relearn how to fight and everything! So, uh...anyone got any good tips? Where can a girl go to get killed around here?"

...uh-huh.

...u h m.

[kuposword]

You wanna come along? I heard dragons drop scads of loot here.

[She's half-joking.] Dueling is a way to do it, though usually I fight to KO. I mean, if it was an arranged match.

Or... and this is a dumb idea but I could summon a primal [no Shan no] but that'd be a really bad bad idea.

[fckingcazadors]

What

[hattrickery]

Pleasant smile/headtilt combo.

"Hm?"

[hattrickery]

She is actually considering it.

"What's a primal?"

[rafflesia_neighponi]

...I am not sure I am qualified to talk about this, as Pokemon do not fight to the death normally...but why ever would you want to die? And what do you mean this is the longest you have gone without it?

[iron_mare]

Most people try to avoid dying. Generally speaking. Not healthy.

[hattrickery]

"Just like I said! Where's a good place to die?"

[kuposword]

Really big dangerous monster that could brainwash you. Are you invincible to brainwashing?

[fckingcazadors]

Are you suicidal or expecting to come back?

[ponycure_dream]

Wh-why do you want to do that?!

[toosmarttodie]

...you'd be surprised how I'm used to that phrase.

[Hey, angel girl! Did you expect to get glared at THROUGH your scroll? More importantly, the mare on the other end has some... pretty heavy bandaging around her midsection and a foreleg in a cast.

And believe you, she is glaring Ds at you. The D may in fact be for daggers.]

You're buckin' psycho.

[kungfublackfrog]

I'm sorry but...you actually want to die?

[visual]

[windyellow]

Uh, dude?

[stormbroken]

[...and then comes a shakily-penned reply much less visually.]

Try manticores. They say three stings is enough t'kill a pony, but I only ever managed one at a time.

[got_style]

...Lemme guess. Immortal?

Or half-immortal. Whatever it is, you'd have to have some way to come back from the dead.

[hattrickery]

"Well, yeah, it's terrible for your bottom line, but that's only if you carry all your dosh on you like some kind of wally."

[hattrickery]

A pause to think it over.

"...I don't think I have the right pants to test it out."

[hattrickery]

"...come back? I mean. That's normal."

[fckingcazadors]

*Alex mutters something along the lines of 'not where i come from' before pausing for a moment.*

I suppose I could kill you, if you wanted. I'd need payment up front, though.

*...wait, no, how does one shoot with hooves. Hn.*

[hattrickery]

"Well, there's no better way to understand how someone fights than to get killed, after all! And then you can just fight 'em again, but this time you can prepare better!"

Slight pause.

"And just what I meant - normally I try to keep my hoof in, you know, at least three deaths a month, more if I'm training, but I just...haven't died since I got here. At all."

[hattrickery]

"Practice! If you want to keep your skills sharp, you gotta use them!"

She appears to be entirely serious.

[hattrickery]

Blank stare for you, weird dragony guy!

"...why would I be surprised?"

[hattrickery]

Oh, thanks! They're in that Everfree place, right?
