he's pretty comfortable, otherwise ]

There have been cases where it's happened.

[yellowhasthechest]

How often?

[meteorstorm]

Not very. It's still possible to restart someone's heart after they've been pronounced dead, but only if you do it before total brain death sets in.

[yellowhasthechest]

So your systems shut down separately.

How long does brain death take to start?

[meteorstorm]

Ten minutes, give or take. Any longer and you risk severe brain damage even if the person ends up surviving.

[yellowhasthechest]

Is it even worth it at that point?

[meteorstorm]

Some people recover without any lasting damage.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Shrugs some, snuggling in against your shoulder. You smell nice, sir.]

I dunno if I'd want it, to be honest. If I'm supposed to die, I'm gonna die.

[meteorstorm]

[ do I have to loan you my cologne now or something? ]

It's part of human nature to try to keep others living as long as possible.

[yellowhasthechest]

[No just come home and roll around in my sheets.]

Is it? I thought you were all supposed to be selfish.

[meteorstorm]

[ . . . no ]

That selfishness extends to wanting to keep people around to make ourselves feel better.

[yellowhasthechest]

[But! :(]

I guess that makes sense.

[meteorstorm]

[ we are not that close yet, woman ]

About as much sense as any of us make.

[yellowhasthechest]

[I don't have to be in them with you. This time.]

As a whole you don't make much sense at all. You're contradicting yourselves all the time.

[meteorstorm]

[ I don't go around making it habit to roll around in girls' beds for no apparent reason ]

And yet, that's what makes us tick.

[yellowhasthechest]

[You have a reason! You smell better than our fabric softener.]

Not making any damn sense?

[meteorstorm]

[ that is kind of creepy, you realize that? ]

That's one way of putting it.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Oh, shut up, it's a compliment.]

How would you put it, then?

[meteorstorm]

[ that doesn't make it any less weird ]

Logically illogical.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Be nice to me. Laughing some.]

See? Contradicting.

[meteorstorm]

I didn't say it wasn't.

[yellowhasthechest]

Doesn't it ever get exhausting?

[meteorstorm]

You have no idea.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Laughing again.]

At least you can admit it.

[meteorstorm]

We're taught one thing and then someone comes around and tells you something entirely different.
