julietweston​:

Anything cosmetic you want done? I worked with plastic surgeons. I didn’t get too many injuries per ce, just … a fried brain.

Nope, more than pleased with how I look. A fried brain sounds very exciting.

[notsogoodaaron]

julietweston​:

Anything you miss though? Because surgery … yeah. You don’t happen to need any body part removed or fixed, do you? I was about to take my boards, so it’s not like I don’t know what I’m doing. Food for thought.

Annoying, but at least it’s something we all are stuck with.

I guess my job, I had fun with it. Sounds like a very fun offer that I’d love to take you up on but unfortunately any injuries I got cause of my death were fixed by coming here.

True point, one slight annoyance in exchange for paradise isn’t too bad.

[notsogoodaaron]

...Fork.

[notsogoodaaron]

elxgilbert​:

Oh come on. You don’t just … get shot. Why were you shot?

I think there are people who just get shot, stray bullets and shirt like that.

[notsogoodaaron]

julietweston​:

I didn’t think I’d actually adjust to this whole dead thing so quickly, and sure, I miss my family and I miss my career, oh God I miss surgery so much, but all in all this isn’t all that bad. I can ask Emma for whatever I want, I like my house, there’s decent enough people around. Sure, I’m avoiding whatever “soulmate” I apparently have like the plague, but if that’s my biggest worry here, I’ll forking take it. 

Well that, and the whole “fork” thing, that’s annoying.

So, like, I don’t know, quit your beaching or whatever, you’re dead, it happened, now get on with your after-life.

@thegleeplacestarters​

I get that, the adjustment period was way quicker than I thought too. And yeah, not big on the soulmate thing either, hopefully I don’t have to worry about that for a bit.

The fork thing is super annoying, still needing to adjust to that too.

jakepuckermanhq​:

There goes my individualistic instinct, right? Wouldn’t want to get thrown in the clink here for going against the cheery norm. That does sound like a shame to me, now that you mention it. And I’ve got some free time, so you might be in luck. I think I’m just the guy to change that for you. Want to get a drink or is that considered “too sinful,” you think?

I’m sure you’ll be fine. Huge shame. I think a drink is a great idea, can’t be too awful if it’s an option, right?

[notsogoodaaron]

elxgilbert​:

I did not get shot. Lots of fire, though. 

Pleasure, Aaron.  So you were shot. There must be a story there.

Sounds cooler, fitting for a rockstar and all.

Not much of one. No exciting campfire story or anything. Just got shot and now I’m here.

[notsogoodaaron]

elxgilbert​:

It’s ridiculous.

Elliott Gilbert. I’m sure you’ve heard of me

Plus side, you still ended up in pretty much paradise. Other plus side, you didn’t get shot.

I have, yeah. Aaron Smythe. 

[notsogoodaaron]

jakepuckermanhq​:

I believe you, based on what I’m seeing right in front of me. That’s good to hear, I’d hate to hate paradise; that’d make me a pretty big outcast, I’m sure. So what are you and that gorgeous face up to tonight?

I think the most you can slide by with to stay out of outcast territory is being slightly annoyed with parts of paradise. Not much, maybe someone should change that.

[notsogoodaaron]

wildecadence​:

So it would seem.

What kind of dance?  An inheritance?  I’m definitely enjoying not having to punch a clock around here though.  

Are you doing that pet faire thing?

Nothing professional. Yeah, my dad was a big lacrosse star and when he died, I got everything.

[notsogoodaaron]

elxgilbert​:

I did the same damn stunt hundreds of times before, and yet, here I am. 

How am I supposed to be a rockstar on stage without a stage?

Death seems to be funny like that, dying when you were doing something you did a shirt ton of times.

Rockstar though. Sounds like fun.

[notsogoodaaron]

jakepuckermanhq​:

Is this place full of good looking people or did I just get lucky enough to run into the top of the list right off the bat? You’re still here, so I’ll take that to mean you haven’t snapped out of it yet. 

It is, but you definitely got lucky. Though clearly I did too. Nope, and since so far this has been pretty sweet, I’m fine with sticking around.

[notsogoodaaron]

janehaywardhq​:

Oh thank god– So now I’ve got a new soul pet. I still need to pick a name, but I think a kitten is much more my speed. 

What did you have before?

[notsogoodaaron]

trinitymarierose​:

So…This is the afterlife, huh? Interesting. Very interesting. Well, at least I’ve got a house. And, apparently there’s some sort of pet fair going on. I take it I’ve come at a good time?

Seems like it, though I’m also pretty new so I don’t have anything to compare it to. 

[notsogoodaaron]

jakepuckermanhq​:

Is this place for real? A literal forking eternal paradise. I guess I can dig the Barnum and Bailey vibes for a while. Catch me with that froyo though. It’s not ice cream, but the flavor array almost makes up for it.

Almost hard to believe this shirt is real, isn’t it? Definitely thought I was going to wake up at any moment.

[notsogoodaaron]

dorseyrose​:

I can see how that would be fun.

Fun is practically my middle name, celebrity dad and everything, having fun was pretty much all I knew how to do.

[notsogoodaaron]

wildecadence​:

It’s wild to even consider that, but is seems appropriate so far.  Yeah, I’ve noticed that, not that I’m a big user of profanity myself but I guess we will see what happens.  

Nice to meet you Aaron.  What did you do before?  In life?

I’m sure I’d have a different opinion if I was in the Bad Place but spending all of eternity here can’t be too bad. 

Not much, danced, sort of. I mostly just lived off of my inheritance, forked around, stuff like that.
