:: Doesn't know whether to use the Celtic Death Goddess icon or the icon with the cute shinigami; is in a mood for cute, opts for the latter::
I think if I was absolutely sure that I'd be able to make it back, I might, just to see what it's like, but then again I have a healthy fixation on pyschopomps (reapers, death gods, etc) of all kinds and I'm curious about what's on the other side of the veil. What does the afterlife look like? Dante's image of hell, purgatory and paradise? An idealized Edo period Japanese city (ala Bleach)? Not much different from this world, except all the bad stuff has been edited out (ie. what James Van Praagh, one of the creators of "Ghost Whisperer", has described from accounts given to him by spirits he's worked with) or with the bad stuff Turned Up to Eleven (ala the visions of Hell in "Constantine")? Is there some sort of Celestial Bureaucracy (God, I hope not, I've had enough of bureaucratic nonsense down here)?
