I'm talking about here, of course.

[ He flicks his fingers off to the side. Some bot in the morning is going to have to clean up flecks of dip off the surface of the table and floor -- and not feel anything about it because it's a bot. ]

I'm not even sure I would like that, but -- [ Vincent flicks his fingers yet again. There isn't much that is left of what he's eating but he did enjoy it for what it was. ] It seems you aren't a bad chef, at least. So maybe they'll remember you for that, Vander. [ He's funny. ]

As I told you, death is considered a miracle. We do not fear death.

[Vander nodded at the confirmation, so he could adjust himself to the proper context of what they were discussing here. He took a sip from his bottle of whiskey, noting the crumbs making their way off the table. It should annoy him as someone who frequently cleaned up the messes of others, but he wouldn't waste time on that here.]

As in, you feel like it is pointless for people to remember you in a physical way? How do you feel about people talking about you, your deeds or your memory? [He nodded his head, following the jumping conversation topics without much discomfort.] That's not what I'll be remembered for, but thank you.

[A miracle, huh? Well, he supposed that Kindred might also feel that way; he wouldn't know.] Most people fear death in some capacity. There is a healthy fear of the unknown, of losing influence and permanence.

I don't think I've done enough to be remembered by anyone.

[ Vincent has thought about it, though. If things had been different, if he never came to this place, he would've just been a footnote in Heather's life. A man that she met and watch die. Something she would've eventually moved past, and that would be the end of him being remembered. His name possibly even forgotten.

He didn't feel anything about that revelation then, and he doesn't feel anything about that knowledge at present. ]

Well, you're welcome, I suppose.

[ He opens his hands as he gestures above his head. ] Most people with religion believe their God will welcome them at the time of death. There's a sort of -- [ He rolls his wrist in the air. ] -- peaceful connotation to death when you have a sense of what is to come next. [ He pauses to push his glasses up, feeling them yet again slip down. ]

Immortality is considered a punishment, not a boon.
