So, this is the after-life, huh? [ Kirby doesn't look or sound very amused. ] 

I gotta say, this beats going through the gates of hell or a thousand years of plucking the devil's back hair. I feel like I deserve a little vacation after getting stabbed in the stomach, you know?

Well, I guess you wouldn't. Unless your life is like some crazy horror movie, too. In which case, hit me up. We can make a club that meets every Thursday.

Oh, and this pink glob of goo that's following me? Anybody who wants it can have it. It's starting to freak me out with its blank stare.

This is not the afterlife.

[whoinvitedyou]

Then it's what, exactly?

video

[creepy_son_of_a]

A different world.

[whoinvitedyou]

Between you and me, that old man didn't sound like he was very sober.

video

[creepy_son_of_a]

I believe he knew what he was talking about. Mostly.

This is not my world and I know that I am not dead. [Yet.]

video

[whoinvitedyou]

Maybe you just don't remember dying. It happens to the best of people.

video

[creepy_son_of_a]

Unlikely. This is not the Lifestream. [ Way to be confusing there. ]

video

[whoinvitedyou]

No, of course not. [ She pauses. ]

What's that, again?

video

[creepy_son_of_a]

It's where the dead go in my world. [ He's sort of been there so he knows this isn't it. ] This place is quite a bit different.

[whoinvitedyou]

So the after-life, you mean. What happens after life ends.

[creepy_son_of_a]

I'm not going to assume it's the same for every world. I have not seen any evidence that this planet has a Lifestream.

[Have another newcomer, who replies with a laugh.] If this is the afterlife, it could be worse.

[video]

[whoinvitedyou]

And it could be better.

[video]

[bearbadge]

True. But, hey, maybe this is a trial. Maybe we end up here while they judge us! [No, if it was a trial, Tyler would have already failed.]
Though... being stabbed, that's a pretty nasty way to go.

[video]

[whoinvitedyou]

Trust me, you're preaching to the choir on that.

[video]

[bearbadge]

It's worse when they don't quite die at the scene, though - then they're suffering. [Especially when they can't be saved. Tyler gave a bit of a frown, before getting back to his smile.] By the way, my name's Tyler Chase.

[whoinvitedyou]

You sound like you've had some first-hand experiences.

Kirby Reed, at your service.

[Tyler gave a bit of a smile.] Well, I am a doctor. Learned all about this sort of thing, you know? [Though right now he's helping with GUILT research...]
Hey, while we're stuck, why don't we team up? I could use a cutie like you as a partner - more then my strange animal. [...And there's some flirting.]

[video]

[the_nth_power]

I don't believe this is the afterlife. [But he definitely looks a bit unnerved, probably because the last thing he remembers doing before being transported here was falling off of Reshiram's back over the sea...]

As for your "glob of goo"-- It is likely that it is your partner. I advise that you treat it with the respect it deserves.

[video]

[whoinvitedyou]

You're kidding, right? It's hard to respect something that isn't even alive. Or has guts.

[video]

[the_nth_power]

No, I'm not kidding. Why are you so sure that it is not alive?

Pink glob of goo, you said. I suppose you are describing a Ditto.

[video]

[overbite]

Afterlife? [Unova's local dog-eared trainer is here and giggling at the idea.] Nope! I can assure you that we are all alive and well here! Except the ghost-type Pokémon, I guess, hehehe.

...Um, I'm sorry you got stabbed in the stomach, though? [She cringes slightly. Thaaat sounds unpleasant! Is there a tactful way to deal with this?]

[video]

[whoinvitedyou]

I like how everyone is so confident about it. Mob mentality at its finest.

Right-o.

[video]

[overbite]

I don't know, I have been dead before and this is not at all what it was like!
