"Not nearly as much as he likes Nameless. I don't think he'll ever be able to let that guy go."

"That doesn't mean you'll die. My Author has me as his Narrator, but Platypus is sometimes a Narrator. In those times, I'm still a Narrator. It's kinda weird."

"Oh, but it would be all too convenient. Letting Darkness kill me so that he can bring Nameless back easily, sure there are other ways my Author could do it, but even though he wants Nameless back, he doesn't want death to become cheap."

"At this point, it's already a stereotype that your Author doesn't care when a character dies. I doubt letting you die will change that. I really don't think you'll die just as much as you do. It is possible, but I kinda doubt it." 

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

Abalador holds up a body, appearing from nowhere (non personified). "Hey, what about this thing?"

Subversion snorted. “Currently, my Author has had three confirmed major character deaths. Two of those were revived, although one of those revivals was basically forced to happen by outside forces, and the other-that’s Nameless-isn’t technically a revival, as the real Nameless is still dead. That sphere is just an imprint of Nameless, and a flawed one at that. You say that my Author has a reputation for not caring about death, but I’m telling you that my Author hates that reputation. In fact, he’s told me that he’s considering killing off a character just to make the revival/death ratio a bit better.”

Subversion looks at him. “What do you want? And why are you holding a body?”

Subversion looked at it. "I don't recognize this body."

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

Abalador drops it. "alright. what about this one?" and he holds up a different body.

[NameIess]

"I don't recognize that body either. Not that that says anything. Very few people were able to recognize Nameless as the brave adventurer, even among those who knew him well."

Abalador pulls up an illusion of Nameless. "He looks like this, right?"

"No, since the guy writing me has no idea what he looks like"

"Yes well, something about the brave adventurer made it very difficult to recognize him as Nameless, even when you knew what Nameless looked like. I don't know him well enough, but Moni might. Ask her if you want to find Nameless' body."

Hacob grinned. "I don't think that'd fix the stereotype. The problem isn't that he doesn't kill enough people off, just that he loves Nameless too much. Technically Nameless hasn't been revived, but we've seen him twice in the short time I've been alive. Once on Page 1 and once as the imprint. Killing characters off probably won't solve that. It's just a fact of life now. As for the funeral, for you I don't think anyone would think that it wasn't a trick. Here your name is practically synonymous with deception."

Abalador finds the correct page. "Here." he also holds out a list full of funeral credits.

Subversion raised an eyebrow. “Really? How irrational.”
