003 - [Video]

Considering the natives' already weak grasp of the concept of property, I don't see why anyone should be surprised one of them went rooting through your crap. It's your own fault for not keeping better tabs on it.

[Like it wouldn't be easy to steal from Laharl while he was asleep.]

You know what bugs me about this place? The lack of corpses.

I've heard when we die here, we don't stay dead, but don't the locals at least kick it long enough to warrant some kind of funeral? Do they all get cremated? Or no, don't tell me, burial at sea is the way they go here. What a pain.

I uh, I can't really say I agree about that. But yeah, the nurses seem to like to keep things clean here. Guess it ups morale.

How does that up morale? It's unnatural, and it makes it damn hard to find a decent coffin.

I guess people here don't like to be reminded of death, maybe. Or uh, they need to clear out a body to fix it back up again to revive.

Coffin?

But death still happens, it just isn't permanent. It'd make more sense to devise it for torture, so you could kill someone repeatedly.

Maybe I should try that.

And yeah, a coffin. The wooden box humans bury their dead in?

You can kill someone repeatedly, but uh, I thinks there is not some kind of punishment for it. Both you and who you kill will be punished, it's total bullshit and I really don't know what they're goin' for with it.

Humans bury their dead in a box? That kinda seems counterproductive. Doesn't that waste the corpse?

What kind of punishment?

Well, most humans don't eat each other, and I think the idea of using each other's bones grosses them out. They'd probably tell you it's "disrespectful." They're squeamish that way.

I uh, I'm not sure. But looking at the curses here I'd say it could be pretty annoying.

I don't mean humans eating other humans. It's uh, more a reclaiming thing. Letting the land and animals take back from you. I'm pretty sure cannibalism isn't a human thing, right? Either way, seems pretty weird to bury your dead in a box instead of giving some hungry mouths something to eat. Sounds a lot more respectful to me the latter of the two.

Tch. Guess I'll have to find out more about that if someone starts getting on my nerves.

Oh. I think the worms get to them eventually. At least they talk a lot about that, but it seems like shoddy craftsmanship if you're letting worms into your coffin.

Killing people when they get on your nerves is uh, kind of over doing it, actually.

But all the good meat's gone by then. It's just a waste I'd think.

Since when?

Well, you're asking the wrong guy.

It might not seem like it here, but life actually means something and should be treated that way. All deaths should be honorable, even if the person isn't.

And killing someone over something meaningless is pretty uh, well, pretty lame.

Oh. You're one of those types.

Not all life is valuable. Most people just lead meaningless little lives that aren't any good to anyone. But at least killing them can be entertaining sometimes.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. But yeah, I guess I'm the type of person that tends to respect others. Even if they're pieces of shit.

Life is inherently valuable. People have to earn their own value, but the life they were given means something. If you kill them, you are wasting it, just like they are if they do nothing of value with what they got.

Respect has to be earned.

Some people just make better worm food.

Not really, insects aren't exactly picky.

... Who cares if they are or not?

Um, apparently you, it looks like.

You're the one who thinks corpses ought to get eaten by something.

They should. But you said something about some people being better food for worms. So you apparently care about how people taste to worms. Or you uh, don't really think before you talk.

I meant they'd be better off dead than alive, genius. Is that clear enough for you?

I know you did, I was actually trying to give you the benefit of the doubt though, 'cause I'm just that kind of guy.

I don't want the "benefit of the doubt." I'm not that kind of guy.

Not what kind of guy?

A nice one.

And why's that?
