___________________________________________________________________

[Marcus had sat down at a table in a abandoned diner and ate something. It was kind of weird a terminator had to eat to sustain his healing skin and other factors.]

He slipped a few coins on the table as he waited for Dr. Jaz to sit down with him. For once maybe they'd do something other than torture each other.

"Welcome, Dr."

Hello there, Marcus.

[He's still not looking entirely the best -- the potion had stopped being pure agony, but it had left him feeling vaguely ill and weak ever since. Still, he's well enough to be out and about, though he has dark circles under his eyes -- feeling unwell has made it difficult to sleep.]

Odd to see you without the threat of torture over our heads.

[Marcus had sighed for just a second]

Even though the wounds had finally healed, there were still old scars from the whip.

Marcus nodded "Exactly what I was thinking as well, Dr. Jaz."

The man got up and picked up some food for the both of them.

"Hope you don't mind what you got to eat. Looks like a serve yourself place."

That's quite fine with me, really. [Eating at a serve-yourself place worked out, in a way, because he could just load up on the vegetarian options. Though, come to think of it, they were in the afterlife, so would the meat even actually be made from animals? Still, probably better to keep to old habits.]

How have you been since the latest round of punishments?

Hmm. That sounds rather convenient. At least during the times that you're not being physically hurt.

[Which, admittedly, seems like it's going to be happening regularly.]

I've been recovering myself, though I do admit I feel vaguely ill. Still, better than I was before.

Can't say it's the best thing out there, but since we can't die from this place, I guess we have to grin and bear it.

He sighed, eating a bit more. "So now that we got a taste of future and past punishments, i wonder what we should expect from then out?"

I wish I knew. The punishments seemed to have a wider variety this time. Some were physical, but I also saw others that were far more psychological in nature.

[Not that he's gonna go into what exactly happened with him and Ianchus, because hoo boy that was a lot.]

It seems to be designed to specifically affect different people differently -- target themselves to what we did and what our weak points are.

I wish I could expect what was coming next so I could plan.

The man looks up at the sky and sighs

"Damnit, I blew it. I had everything. A lover, friends and the respect of the leader of the Resistance."

If the Doctor could hear, it would sound like odd muttering to him]

"If this is the eternity i'm inheriting, then I deserve it."

"Her name was Blair Williams, a pilot in the Resistance."

They said we might get second chances if we do well. You might get all those things back one day. Perhaps you'll see her again?

[He tilts his head curiously:]

Why do you think you deserve it?

Marcus eyed the doctor, I've killed in the past. I did some stupid things as a teen. I can't change that."

You might, though. You might get to live it all out again, without the sins that brought you here in the first place.

[He shrugs slightly.]

At least that's what I assume, when they tell us that we might get our second chances.

[ The hybrid shrugged, taking what was available and nodded ]

"Turns out I only have to eat after I take extreme damage, otherwise I eat less than usual. But Otherwise, I've began to recover."

That's good. Hopefully the damage we take here heals the same as when we were alive. Or perhaps even better, if they want us to keep abusing each other.

I agree, hopefully it works that way better.

You'll have to let me know. In the meantime, I suppose it's good that I have medical training, assuming that we all still take our injuries the same as we would in life. It'd be rather gruesome for us all to get infected, or worse, every month.
