[For some reason, the person making this post is wearing his mask already. Surely someone must have explained that this network is private? (They did.)

He's also not actually dressed to blend in with this place, still wearing his white cultivator robes.

Even with the half-mask on he looks quite elegant...in contrast with the deep scowl his mouth was set in.]

Are there clothes here that aren't so...tight? [Especially around the legs! What kind of clothes are these!!] And I would like to know why there's an entire district of this place dedicated to necromancy? Isn't that sort of thing dangerous!?

[He sounds mad. Partly that's because he's concerned and that automatically means he defaults to being mad. But it's also partly because he woke up in the necromancer's district to people poking and prodding at him and he didn't like that at all.

Either way, those things combined just make him more mad.]

...I see. How did you fool your student into thinking he killed you?

[scrapgege]

Oh, I'm quite good at appearing dead. I've done it a few times. He did put his sword right through me, so he didn't have any trouble believing it.

...

[He has so many questions.]

Were you using some sort of illusion?

[scrapgege]

Ah, no, I didn't need to. I... can't die, so it doesn't really matter if he stabbed me once or ten times. I just played dead after the first stab because I wasn't looking forward to more, and then he was angry so he sealed me in a coffin, and he didn't look too closely before he did it.

[wooden_one]

You're immortal.

[He's surprised! But also it's not unheard of, he supposed.]

I assume you were able to get out of the coffin...?

[scrapgege]

I was, yes. After a while, because as it happens, I kind of needed a bit of time to rest and not be too bothered about the rest of the world for a while, but once I was done with that, I got out.

[wooden_one]

...you decided to rest in a coffin?

[He's not horrified, exactly. Just...confused.]

[scrapgege]

It was quiet? And pretty comfortable, actually. And I knew no one would look for me there.
