[ WP ] You are dead ... again . However , you planned this just as you planned the other times you died . You study death . Describe your experience this time as it compares to the other times .

It's always a little different, every time. 
 
 This one had a hint of lemon hanging around, and it was n't the disinfectant they used in the hospital room. It was a hint of lemon that could be heard more than smelt. *Interesting; senses can begin to blur after death. * 
 
 Normally, at this point, there's a shadowy figure beckoning me onward whom I inevitably refuse, quickly finding my way over the shadowed and surreal terrain to my exit point. This time, however, he ( or she; no way to tell with that giant ragged hood ) is conspicuously absent. As I begin to walk towards the designated point where my multi-billion-dollar-grant equipment will pull my psyche back into a newly-minted body, at which point I will record my findings, linked with the machine's most recent log. 
 
 But this time, the shadowy figure is waiting for me in front of the glowing cyclone that is my only way out of this `` nether realm'' as if it knows. *Shit. It knows about my system. * 
 
 One arm forward now. **YOU HAVE DEFIED MY COMMANDS LONG ENOUGH. ** 
 
 *Run left. Zigzag, confuse it. Try to get within detection range. * 
 
 It steps closer, and I try to dive past it. **COME, CHILD. YOUR PLAYTIME IS OVER. ** 
 
 My fingers cross the invisible sphere around the cyclone, where the detectors can reach. *Success! It'll recalibrate and begin Emergency Pattern A. * 
 
 One second lasts a long time here. **I WILL NOT BE DENIED WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE, AND I HAVE COME TO COLLECT. ** 
 
 As the pattern activates and the cyclone behind him vanishes, I turn and sprint to where I know it will appear next, the figure close on my heels. 
 
 It's amazingly fast, floating around with no legs. **YOUR STRUGGLE IS ADMIRABLE, BUT IT SHALL NOT DENY ME MY ULTIMATE VICTORY. ** 
 
 As I crest the hill and wait for it to materialize around me, I turn back, grinning. I give this odd avatar of Death the finger as I'm sucked into the waiting body below, in the physical realm. 
 
 *Maybe next time, buddy. Thanks for playing, though! *
